EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a very powerful tool that again, can be used by anyone anywhere.  It is based on ideas of eastern medicine that includes the meridians that run through the body.  It is like acupuncture without the needles, and is so simple it can be effectively used by young children.  EFT has been successfully used to everything from physical and emotional issues, to fears, phobias, allergies, PTSD, medical diseases, and the list goes on.  We try it on everything.

EFT in pregnancy is a terrific way to clear away blocks to the birth you are desiring.  For example, if the mother has is desiring an unmedicated birth yet has a fear that her doctor might suggest a medication, her "fear", even if it is just a small fear running in the background, will lead her into a completely different body hormone response because that is an experience that is being focused on.  A part of her is not in alignment with ,or, is not congruent with, her true desire.  By reducing the fear in advance, her energy is free to focus on her unmedicated birth.  If something were to come up that needed tending to, her mind would be free to make decisions based on a place of confidence, clarity and control, not from a place of fear.
