EFT is based on the idea that "all negative emotion is a disturbance in the body's energy system". If you have a negative emotion or feeling, then part of your subtle energy system - for example your body's acupuncture meridian system - is blocked. By clearing these blocks - which you can do by tapping on a simple, never-changing set of acupuncture points - you can clear negative emotions, often permanently. 

By tapping on these areas of the body we can stimulate certain meridian points while the client is "tuned in" to the problem. The theory is the "cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." The tapping stimulates the problem area and helps the bodies energy system to function properly.

It can be used at home effectively, but often a trained therapist is needed to get to all aspects of the problem. Practitioners often teach you to use it yourself between sessions.

Areas it works well with includes:

· anger (and anger management)
· stress (and stress management)
· anxiety and panic attacks
· stubborn or chronic physical issues
· relationship challenges
· emotional and mental issues
· fears
· trauma

Compared to other techniques, EFT is usually quite gentle and substantial relief is often achieved with little or no pain - this is not true for everyone however - serious instances of trauma must be handled by qualified practitioners to avoid abreactions - a re-living of a trauma.

EFT is such a simple, yet powerful tool to help you release beliefs and emotions. It can be used therapeutically and for deep transformational work, or used even whilst on the move to let go of negative emotions.

The Emotional Freedom Techniques  are a group of powerful processes that can help just about anyone to achieve genuine freedom from the emotions that have created difficult issues in their lives.

EFT  is becoming known to many amazed users as a modern miracle. It can dramatically relieve emotional disturbances along with many physical symptoms. It often works in minutes, its results are usually long lasting, and side effects are almost always positive.

ABOUT EFT

EFT was developed earlier in the 1990's by Gary Craig, whose academic training includes a Stanford Engineering Degree. While personal healing has been his passion for over 30 years, Gary is neither a licensed therapist nor a trained psychologist. Many of the concepts underlying EFT came from Gary's training in Thought Field Therapy (TFT) under the tutorship of Dr. Roger Callahan. TFT involves the use of 10 or 15 individualized tapping routines. EFT differs in that it employs only one comprehensive tapping routine which is used for all emotional and physical problems. Because of this, it is easy enough to be mastered by most people.

EFT treatment involves The subtle energies of the body have been ignored by western scientists. Thus, emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse. With EFT results can be far beyond those of conventional methods.

EFT often provides relief of the physical symptom which is unmistakable evidence of the link between physical ailments and emotional issues.
