Introduction to EFT

Emotional Freedom Technique has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will.

Overview

EFT is based on the idea that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." - Gary Craig, Founder of EFT

EFT has been likened to an emotional, needle-free version of acupuncture. It is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between the mind, body and emotions. When energy flows freely in the body, we are happy and healthy. When there are blockages in this energy system, dis-ease and emotional disruption occurs. EFT works by clearing blockages, allowing the body to return to its natural state of self-healing and health.

EFT is mind-body medicine as it combines tapping on the meridian points whilst focusing on emotional or physical problems. It was designed and developed by Gary Craig, who adapted it from Dr. Callaghan's Thought Field Therapy. At Gary Craig's website you can learn more about EFT, watch videos, download a document detailing the use of EFT, and buy a comprehensive EFT DVD course.

EFT can be used as a self-help procedure. The basic procedure is easy and quick to learn for use on yourself. Sometimes it can be difficult to work alone with your issues and problems and in these cases it is best to seek the help of a therapist.

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me." Eric Robins, MD.
