EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, a system of emotional and physical healing using traditional Chinese acupuncture meridians-using finger tapping, rather than needles. Results are typically rapid and dramatic, and EFT often works when nothing else does. What sets EFT apart from traditional 'talk therapy' and even other energy psychology methods, is that anyone can learn to do EFT-even young children can learn the 'basic recipe', and it can be used to effectively treat oneself (see my Do It Yourself page for instructions). EFT is also a virtually painless therapy-you don't have to re-live traumatic memories or delve deep into painful emotions to decrease their intensity and release their hold on your life. Self-sabotaging and limiting beliefs can also be identified and 'tapped out' using EFT, freeing your potential in all areas. This has been called the 'missing ingredient' in The Secret, enabling our affirmations to really work. Einstein discovered long ago that all physical matter (including the human body) is made of energy. Though the body may appear to be solid, its foundation is energetic at its core. Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, writes: And because our physical pains and diseases are so clearly connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true... By mentally focusing on a distressing memory, current situation or future fear, the emotional disruption is brought up to the surface of one's energy system, where tapping on the points can smooth it out, eliminating the distress. The memory stays but the bothersome feelings are gone. It really is amazing to experience. One of the things that first attracted me to EFT was that its creator, Gary Craig, was essentially giving it away! You can still download his 80 page manual for free and his website contains an astonishing wealth of information about applying EFT to almost any problem or issue. I found his generosity convincing and quite refreshing and I have attempted to carry on that spirit with my Do It Yourself page, which somewhat updates the original techniques found in Gary's manual. |
