EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques

Working with aspects is essential in EFT.

Silvia Hartmann writes: Thousands upon thousands of people have successfully cured their phobias of all manner of things, substances, events and occurrences with EFT since it was first released. Indeed, EFT's predecessor TFT (Roger Callahans Thought Field Therapy) breakthrough story revolves around a severe case of ablutophobia (fear of washing and water), which was cured completely in a single tapping session and NEVER came back - this is now 17 years ago, so the METs can be said to really cure phobias once and for all. Here is the step-by-step guide on how to cure phobias successfully in self help treatment.

Psychological Reversal (or, how to heave a deep, great sigh of relief at not having to struggle along on will power any more!)
For me, one of the most wonderful ideas in the meridian therapies is the concept of psychological reversal. There's much debate amongst the experts as to what's going on, but it seems that shock, trauma, or repeated learnings and teachings can cause the energy flow relating to a particular subject to become reversed; i.e. it does the opposite of what you want it to do.

GaugeWork was developed just a few months ago by Lifeworks therapist Astra Johnston and may be thought of as using the metaphor of a “gauge” or “meter” which is nominalised or labelled with the name of a desired state.

EFT & Dreams - Bad Dreams & Nightmares

Bad dreams and nightmares are a very disturbing proposition; it's always well to keep in mind that these are manifestations and symptoms of an underlying problem, and never a problem in and of themselves.

Telephone Consultations

Many meridian therapies, such as EFT, TFT and TAB, can be very successfully conducted over the telephone.

EFT™ is a therapeutic approach to discharging excess emotional distress and liberating one's natural growth process. It has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine and the modern science of Applied Kinesiology. The basic theory is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. By correcting the disturbance on an energy level we simultaneously correct it on the emotional level.

This is an important EFT script which can be used when a problem is entirely resistant to EFT treatments and the SUDs won't move at all. People sometimes say that it feels like the normal effectiveness of EFT is switched off; there is something stopping the EFT treatment from starting to work as it should.

This is indicative of some pre-work needing to be done, and we must ask the question, "What has to happen BEFORE this problem can be unlocked or released?"

Silvia Hartmann reflects how keeping your first circuitry active in later years is essential for a healthy energy body and to avoid this all too common feeling of "being invisible".

Silvia writes:

I was speaking to this older lady and she remarked sadly that the worst thing about getting old was that she was becoming invisible.

"People take no notice. I'm just another old lady, they don't even see me anymore," she sighed.

I put forth the proposition that in some cases, the actual problems are not present at all and thus cannot be resolved and that the reason they are not present is because *the individual has structured their entire life in such a way that the problem need never be experienced*.

We have tried this special version of the EFT technique and have found it to be very helpful with long standing problems that have too many different aspects to even start, or problems you might have worked on for a long time and still you keep finding more and more aspects.

Ananga Sivyer Director of the UK Association for Meridian Therapies interviewed a client who has been using EFT on a regular basis for several months about her experiences with this powerful new technique.

Ananga: One of your first major breakthroughs with EFT, as I recall, was at a "Building Bridges" workshop. And the issue you chose to work with was "not feeling good enough" is that right?

The client, a 60-year-old male we shall call Tony, had a water phobia, but had learnt to live with it and it was not adversely affecting his life. Tony was able to visit the swimming baths and could swim - but preferred not to.  He tended to swim with his head clear of the water, but could put his face under the water "if really necessary" and could even dive in.  In effect he was using will power, or being brave, to overcome the effects of the phobia.
