EFT

(Emotional Freedom Technique)

Addressing the Cause

Based on the ancient principles of acupunture, EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body's energy system, without the discomfort of needles. Unlike other energy healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction and personal performance limits.

Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our bodies. The physical changes we feel from those disruptions, like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world ... until we heal that disruption. Properly applied, EFT quickly realigns the energy meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often remove the resulting symptoms.

EFT continues to provide encouraging results, even with newcomers applying EFT to themselves. Some cases are more complex, however, and may require more detailed attention from an experienced EFT Practioner. Although I'm qualified in EFT and do use the technique with clients, for someone wishing to concentrate on this particular form of healing I tend to refer to a colleague who specialises in the technique. My preference is to train people to work with EFT themselves and consequently offer workshops which give a deeper understanding of the process involved.

EFT involves tapping specific points on the upper body while focusing on a given issue, event or emotion. It is extremely easy to learn how to do and is becoming much more widely known with frequent articles appearing in the press and on television. The people I trained with, for example, where featured on the tv programme 'Richard & Judy' demonstrating the technique. EFT was developed by Gary Craig and is a derivative of TFT (Thought Field Therapy).

For more information about EFT please have a look at Gary's website - www.emofree.com where there are literally hundreds of pages of information, and where you can download a manual for free. I would say though that if you have serious issues, it is important to have the support of a professional when working to clear emotional blockages.

Although qualified in EFT myself I am no longer accepting clients to work with using this modality. I can, however, refer to an extremely competent and professional local EFT therapist. Please contact me for more details.
