To give
some examples of areas where EFT is extremely effective, it is in regular use
for (but by no means limited to) the following:
stress,
tension, headaches,
fears
& phobias, anxiety, panic attacks,
physical
pain in general
addictions
(smoking, weight loss etc)
enhancing
work or sports performance
increasing
confidence and self-esteem
boosting
personal resources
and
increasing energy
EFT was
developed by Stanford Engineer Gary Craig in the United States as a streamlined
version of Dr. Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy. Therapists the world
over have been using Thought Field Therapy for 20 years and it is recognised as
an established and effective treatment method. However, training is complex and
the treatment process itself is not so easily learned for self-help use. The
unique contribution of Gary Craig was to revise the process in order that anyone
could learn to use it for themselves often achieving outstanding results within
minutes of learning the basic technique.
How
does it work?
Many
ancient therapeutic texts will cite a disruption or stagnation in the flow of
vital energy (chi, prana or bio-energy) to be the root cause of many physical or
emotional ailments.
The
discovery statement upon which EFT and other energy therapies rest states much
the same: “the cause of all negative
emotions in a disruption in the body’s energy system".
Once that
disruption is cleared then so are the related emotional or physical symptoms.
With EFT this is a surprisingly simple process and involves quite simply tapping
on a sequence of key meridian points whilst tuned in to the problem at hand.
Whether that problem is anger, despondency or a stiff shoulder the basic
procedure is always the same.
Personal
Experience
"In 11 years of
working as a complimentary therapist I have never encountered another technique
as effective or user friendly as EFT.”
I have
watched with amazement on many occasions now both in private practice and at
workshops individuals shrug or laugh and say that something which was previously
bothering them “10 out or 10” was no longer a concern.
People who
said they “weren’t good enough” and had always felt that way change that
belief in less than 2 minutes.
People who
said they had zero confidence develop confidence and go on courses or for job
interviews which they had avoided for years. Men with no self-respect, women who
had carried physical pain around with them for as long as they could remember
and children who were under duress at school and many others obtain rapid
permanent relief with this amazing technique.
