What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?
EFT is a new discovery that
has provided thousands with relief from pain, diseases and emotional
issues. Simply stated, it is a unique version of acupuncture except you
don't use needles. Instead, you stimulate
well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping them with your
fingertips- while you are psychologically
tuned in to an issue. The process is easy to learn and can be practiced
by anyone. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which says...
"The cause of all
negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."
And current medical
research is now suggesting that….
“85% of all physical
pains and diseases are caused by unresolved negative emotions.”
This common sense approach
draws its power from (1) time-honored
Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years
and (2) Albert Einstein,
who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is
composed of energy. These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing
Practices and that is why EFT often
works where nothing else will.
- You can make enormous
strides by introducing EFT into your therapy process
(whether you are a professional or a client). Instead of taking months or
years using conventional "talk therapy", EFT often does the job for you cleanly and
thoroughly in one or two sessions ... and sometimes does
it in moments. We label these latter near-instant results as "one
minute wonders." Do EFT properly and you will likely experience them
50% of the time. The rest of the time, EFT has about an 80%-95% success
rate- even with beginners! EFT is
currently being used by therapists, life coaches, hypnotherapists,
acupuncturists, nurses, doctors, chiropractors and more.
- Once you have seen how well EFT clears out emotional
debris, your next step is to
notice how physical ailments start to fade. Headaches,
back pains and other discomforts tend to improve or vanish. Your vision
may become clearer and everyday stress takes less toll
on your system.
- You can use EFT for just about everything. That is one
of the most astonishing things about it.
You can use it for
everything from chronic back pain to improved performance at work.
That is why you can consider it the missing link in the pursuit of health
and happiness. Once you truly recognize
the Universal nature of EFT you will eagerly join the
growing throng of enthusiasts. There is nothing like it, anywhere.

Specifics of
EFT…….
EFT is
called an Energy Psychology because it incorporates stimulating the
body’s meridians, and the psychological “tuning in” of a problem. EFT is
- Easy to learn
- Can be used by anyone
(including children)
- Promotes self- empowerment
instead of therapist dependency
- Can be used anywhere
- Can be used on almost any issue
- Produces rapid results that are
obvious
An example….
John has a
back ache. On a scale of 1-10, John
would describe his pain as a 10. To
begin, John will tap what is called the Karate
Chop Point and repeat “Even though I have this back pain, I deeply
and completely love myself”.
John will repeat this three times while tapping the Karate Chop Point.
Then he
will tap the meridian points shown on the next page repeating the phrase:
“This back pain”.
|
1) On the Top of the
Head, with fingers back-to-back down the center of the skull.
|
|
|
|
2) At the beginning of
the eyebrow, just above and to one side of the nose.
|
|
3) On the bone bordering the outside
corner of the eye.
|
|
|
|
4) On the bone under an
eye about 1 inch below your pupil.
|
|
5) On the small area
between the bottom of your nose and the top of your upper lip.
|
|
|
|
6) Midway between the
point of your chin and the bottom of your lower lip.
|
|
7) The junction where the
sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet. To locate it,
first place your forefinger on the U-shaped notch at the top of the
breastbone (about where a man would knot his tie). From the bottom of the
U, move your forefinger down toward the navel 1 inch and then go to the
left (or right) 1 inch.
|
|
|
|
8) On the side of the
body, at a point even with the nipple (for men) or in the middle of the bra
strap (for women). It is about 4 inches below the armpit.
|
|
9) The last point is the
inside of both wrists.
|
|
|
This process is repeated
until the back pain is gone. Incredible
as it may seem, John could get complete
relief in just minutes!
Similarly, the same process
would be used in the case of a fear, traumatic memory, depression, stress, anxiety
and more. Only the set-up statement
would be changed to reflect the issue that is being worked on. For example, “Even though I am afraid to speak in front of groups, I deeply and
completely love myself”, or “Even
though I feel this anxiety right now, I deeply and completely love myself”.
EFT is safe, gentle, rapid
