Emotional Freedom
Technique - (EFT)
Where emotional release brings physical
health
Tapping
What is EFT?
Simply stated, EFT
is an emotional version of acupuncture. Instead of using needles,
however, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on
your body by tapping them with your fingertips. Thus the process is
easy for you to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere.
It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which
says...
"The cause of all
negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy
system."
This common sense
approach draws its power from (1) time-honored Eastern discoveries
that have been around for over 5,000 years and (2) Albert Einstein,
who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our
bodies) is composed of energy. These ideas have been largely
ignored by Western Healing Practices and that is why EFT often
works where nothing else will. It's not that EFT is so stunning.
Rather, it is because conventional healing methods have simply
overlooked the obvious. You will see that clearly as you allow EFT
to bring freedom into your life where you thought none was
possible.
EFT is
a way of bringing ourselves back into balance. It involves tapping
on a series of acupuncture points located along energy meridians
within the body.
What Does it Do?
Imagine
experiencing emotional distress - anger, sadness, fear, anxiety -
but finding rapid relief in minutes - that's what EFT
does.
Is it a New Age
Process?
EFT is
a very ancient process. It is based on the meridian system which
was discovered in China about 5000 years ago and on which
acupuncture is based. Both Chinese Medicine and acupuncture state
that energy flows along meridians of the body and when the energy
becomes blocked, then people become sick. Negative emotions or
distress cause the energies to become blocked and EFT unblocks it -
it is really that simple!
Why Is It
Important?
1. It
is non-invasive! (no one has to do something to you.)
2. It
is easy to learn! (I teach my life coaching clients on the
phone.)
3. It
is empowering! (you are in control at all times)
4. It
is powerful! (it works!)
5. It
can be done anywhere and anytime!
Who Discovered It?
We are
indebted to those who discovered the energy meridians. Roger
Callahan took this discovery and came up with a distinct tapping
sequence for various emotional distresses - migraine, phobia,
anxiety - and Gary Craig built on Callahan's work and simplified it
into one tapping sequence for all emotions.
ALL TAPPING YOU DO IS GOOD FOR
YOU.
Any
tapping you do stimulates the meridians, relaxes you, calms you and
makes you feel a little better, even if you get totally the wrong
opening affirmation and the original problem has not yet
shifted.
Just
try again with a different start up phrase, or think about what the
truth about the problem might be.
