EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique

Why Use EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique is a wonderful and effective tool to reenergise and come up with solutions. Gary Craig, the originator, based it on Dr Roger Callaghan's Thought Field Therapy. Craig's innovation however was to make EFT elegant, simple and understandable to everyone in the world. This is gift we can all be extremely grateful for. It is now widely accepted, even by doctors, and it is used by hypnotherapist, Paul McKenna as an adjunct to hypnosis. Many clinics and physicians around the world are coming over to the belief that it has huge potential as one of the most accessible and effective methods of fixing a vast range of physical and psychological problems and getting immediate results. Just what the name implies - freedom from being caught in the snarl of your own unprocessed emotions.

Meridian Therapy

It is basically a kind of acupuncture without needles. You state the problem clearly and tap meridian points which channel and link all the major organs and systems in the body. This 'tuning in' restores a positive charge to our approach to the problem. The body's energy channels function to harmonise the flow of energy through the body. The tapping vibrates them to flow again. Whether you believe in this or not, does not affect the results. It's a bit like electricity. We switch on a TV without worry how it works. The body has its own electromagnetic field that resonates at a certain frequency.

Our beliefs and attitudes underpin our thoughts and our thoughts control emotions. Emotions are the glue that connects psyche and soma, the body and mind, forming one complex entity, the 'bodymind.' Any emotionally charged thought can get stuck in the system, connect with the immune system, and create conditions that allow ill health to take root. Equally this can be 'undone' by skillfull use of EFT.

Opinions on EFT

Meditation expert, Deepak Chopra, believes that 'EFT offers great healing benefits'. Celebrated Energy Psychologist, Donna Eden says, 'EFT is easy, effective, and produces amazing results. I think it should be taught in elementary school.' Others such as, neurobiologist and discoverer of the opiate receptor, Candace Pert, agrees that EFT is at the forefront on the 'new paradigm' of quantum science, making accessible a knowledge of the role of peptides, hormones and 'informational substances' of the body.

EFT is the mode of choice for many people. I personally have benefited enormously from using it, and would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone. Here are just some good reason start using EFT:

It is:

• rapid
• safe
• non invasive
• drug free
• easy to learn
• accessible
• fun
• portable anywhere
• can be done mentally
• flexible
• can be combined with other therapies
  

Is it a placebo?

Some say it is only a placebo. But there are vital differences with EFT and placebos. Drugs are effective because people believe they work, so in placebo experiments, people expect something to happen. They have a belief already about drugs. But with EFT, even people who have no idea what it is or what to expect can still be helped. Gary Craig believes that this is down to the 'tuning in' to the problem with the reminder phrase. This is the key to unlocking blocked energy. So don't hesitate to have your personal introduction to this amazing, revolutionary technique.
