Most of our emotional and physical problems are caused
(or contributed to) by our unresolved specific events, the vast majority of which can be easily handled by EFT.
Gary Craig, originator of EFT
Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT) is an easily learned, self-applied acupressure technique which
involves tapping or massaging a series of points on the body while
focusing on the issue or problem being treated. It uses the body’s own
energy system to release negative physical and emotional symptoms – and
stress. Working on the energy circuit in this way allows blocks and
limiting thoughts to be neutralised and shifts in perception to occur.
Introducing and accepting new patterns of behaviour and installing new
beliefs is then much easier.
EFT is successfully used in areas
of peak personal performance such as business, sport and education. It helps to
address the root causes of self-imposed limitations and internal
conflicts which tend to get in the way. It is also effective for
dealing with self-esteem, conflict resolution, fears, phobias,
addictions, weight loss and any issues where there is physical and
emotional pain. EFT can be used in many situations at work and at home
and is one of the quickest ways to treat tension and boost energy
levels.
EFT is used in both a coaching and a therapeutic
setting. The success of EFT is not dictated by the length of time that
someone has had a problem. It is possible to work on issues which you
feel are too personal to discuss. EFT is suitable for all age
groups. Sessions can take place by phone, one-to-one or in groups.
The Background to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
In
1994, EFT founder Gary Craig and his associate were invited by the U.S.
Veterans’ Administration in Los Angeles to help treat a group of
emotionally disabled Vietnam War veterans. They spent six days using
EFT with these veterans and taught them to use it for themselves. Most
of these men were still suffering from the trauma they had experienced
during the war, in spite of undergoing many years of therapy - some
over twenty years. Some of these sessions were filmed and are now used
for educational purposes. The results of the visit were impressive.
Film footage shows how EFT was able to treat a range of issues such as
trauma, phobia, insomnia and addiction, sometimes in moments. EFT is
presently being used in numerous settings across the world, by adults
and children.
Research
Some
excellent results are being reported in the research studies being
conducted worldwide on Emotional Freedom Techniques. For example a study at Curtin University
in Western Australia found EFT to be successful in treating specific
phobias more effectively and in a shorter period than traditional
treatments.
