EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) / EFT Tapping
“For many of us, the internally generated stress response is triggered by a negative memory or thought that has its roots in past trauma or conditioned learning from childhood. The stress response in the body takes the same form, whether the trigger is the tiger (external) or a negative memory (internal). The adrenaline flows, the heart races, and so on.” ― Nick Ortner, The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living
What is EFT and how can it help you?
Emotional Freedom Technique is an alternative treatment for physical pain and emotional distress.
How does it work?
EFT is a simple but effective procedure. It involves focussing on the problem and simultaneously tapping on a set of points on the face, body and hands. These points are part of the meridian system, the energy pathways discovered 4000 years ago, which make up the basis for acupuncture. There is a significant amount of strong clinical and scientific evidence to prove that EFT does work and causes rapid, profound and lasting transformations. It’s best to try it out yourself and get first-hand experience. No drugs or equipment are involved and it can be easily learned and self-administered.
More about EFT
The EFT process draws important influence, especially for deep emotional and psychological issues, from the many people who have contributed over the ages to the understanding of human psychology. EFT owes much to the work of Dr George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology, and Dr Roger Callahan, the founder of TFT Thought Field Therapy. In the early ‘90s, one of Dr Callahan’s former students, Gary Craig, simplified the complicated TFT algorithms and made the process universally applicable for all. It was found that after stimulating the body’s well-established energy meridian points by tapping on them with one’s fingertips, mental, emotional and physical issues were successfully cleared away and emotional debris in the form of blocks in the energy meridians could be removed. Thus, EFT was born.
Though often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing. No matter how devoted you are to a proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body’s ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way. EFT is a powerful way to support your emotional health.
