What is EFT?
EFT is a meridian therapy with roots in Chinese acupuncture and Japanese Acupressure. It has evolved from psychologist Dr Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy and has been developed in the USA by Gary Craig. EFT is ‘energy psychology’, as well asacupuncture without the needles.
The discovery behind EFT is that emotional upsets are the result of an imbalance in the body’s energy system which can cause physical symptoms.
EFT is a simple, non-intrusive method used to treat conditions which have been brought about by negative emotions or limiting beliefs. Conditions that benefit from EFT include:
:: Addictions
:: Weight problems
:: Painful conditions
:: Relationship problems
:: Fears and phobias
:: Anger
:: Stressful situations
How does it work?
EFT is a process that involves tapping on selected energy meridian points of the chest, face and hands. Some eye movements may be carried out, a short tune hummed and you count from 1 – 5. These actions work on stimulating specific parts of the brain, increasing the effectiveness of the energy interventions.
During the procedure the client tunes into the issue troubling them, summarising it in a short affirmation whilst tapping on the selected points with the fingertips. EFT works by accessing the energy flow meridians while the client is focussing on the issue. The body’s energy system is balanced, removing any disturbance to the energy flow. |
