What is EFT (The Emotional Freedom Technique) anyway?

[Guest guest]

Hello

 

Most of my messages are usually relating to Thetahealing or more

recently Commanding Wealth programs so you might not know about EFT

or some of it's benefits. I love EFT and use it all the time both

personally and professionally so here some info that you may find

beneficial.

 

EFT can be used on the phone with no problem.

In fact EFT has a marvelous " surrogate " tapping method that I use all

the time on crying babies at restaruants and theaters. I tap on ME

and the subject feels the benefits. I have cleared literally hundreds

of migraine headaches for others this way.

 

Here's a little article I recently sent out to my group:

 

WHAT IS EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)?

 

The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a group of powerful

processes that can help just about anyone

to achieve genuine freedom from the emotions that have created

problems in their lives. These techniques

have been described by some as one of the most important breakthroughs

in the area of psychology in this century. They have been used

successfully with thousands of people with

a broad range of difficulties.

 

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is becoming known to many amazed

users as a modern miracle. It can dramatically relieve emotional

disturbances along with many physical symptoms. It often works in

minutes, its results are usually long lasting, and side effects are

almost always positive.

 

EFT is versatile and has been used confidently by hundreds of

therapists on thousands of clients with successes on even the most

difficult problems, by relieving imbalances in their clients' energy

systems.

 

I was introduced to EFT in 1995 as part of my hypnotherapy training. I

had a terrible fear of heights which EFT cleared immediately and I

used EFT to get rid of Plantar's warts that had made life very

uncomfortable for over a year. After just one session the warts all

peeled off the next day and never returned.

THE ENERGY SYSTEM

 

Understanding how emotional healing with EFT (Emotional Freedom

Techniques) works may require an open mind for many people. The

effectiveness of EFT only makes sense if it is related to the human

energy system. Fortunately, you don't have to believe any of this to

receive the positive benefits of using these techniques.

 

In addition to having a physical body which is fueled by food, we

humans also run on an intricate energy system which is fueled by

electrical impulses that run through the body. This energy system

holds the key to many of the disturbances we experience in our daily

lives. When it is out of balance, our emotional

life could be compared to a car that is in desperate need of a tune

up.

The result may take the form of any type of emotional disturbance

including phobias, anger, depression, grief, guilt, anxiety, and a

full range of fears, to name a few. There may also be physical

symptoms like pain, headaches, asthma and

tension that are related to the emotions. EFT provides relief from the

majority of these disturbances.

What is even better is that it often provides relief in minutes and

the results are usually long lasting.

In fact, it frequently provides relief where other techniques fail and

has a high success rate, typically 80% or better.

 

 

HOW EFT WORKS

EFT is based on a revolutionary new discovery that violates most of

the beliefs within conventional psychology. It contends that the

cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy

system.

With remarkable consistency, EFT relieves symptoms by an unusual (but

scientific) routine of tapping with the fingertips on a short series

of points on the body that correspond to acupuncture points on the

energy meridians. Where there is an imbalance, there is a

corresponding blockage in the flow of energy through the meridian

system.

 

The tapping serves to release the blockages that are created when a

person thinks about or becomes involved in an emotionally disturbing

circumstance. When this blockage is released, the emotions come

into balance. Once balanced, the person cannot get upset about the

circumstance no matter how hard they try. The memory remains but the

charge is gone. Typically, the result is lasting and the person's

awareness usually changes in a positive way as a natural result of the

healing.

 

Most energetic imbalances may be partially or completely relieved

within a short time using this process.

Others may be relieved through repetition of the process. Some

examples of energetic patterns that have been successfully cleared

using EFT:

 

Fears related to performance like public speaking, concentration,

sports, etc.

Phobias like the fear of heights, flying, enclosed spaces, driving,

etc.

Emotional trauma from war experiences, physical abuse, etc.

Disturbing emotions like depression and anger.

Emotions related to addictive patterns like eating and smoking

Insomnia

Emotions related to physical conditions.

 

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EFT (EMOTIONAL FREEDOM

TECHNIQUES)

How long do the results last?

EFT is generally long lasting. Physical healings are often

impressive and long lasting as well, but are more likely to re-emerge

than emotional issues.

 

Are EFT's results due to either placebo effects or distraction?

No.

Placebo effects require some belief in the process and this is

rarely the case for newcomers to EFT. Also, although EFT may appear

to be distracting, it will not work if the client is, in fact,

distracted.

That is why the client continually repeats a phrase which " tunes in "

to the problem.

 

Are there any negative side effects?

By comparison to almost any other process, EFT is quite gentle

and rarely has any side effects. It is often used instead of other

procedures, because of its gentle nature.

 

How does EFT use kinesiology?

Kinesiology (muscle testing) is used to determine negative belief

systems one holds (sometimes unconsciously), which is

called " psychological reversal. "

 

How can I learn EFT myself?

 

There are several ways to Learn EFT. I have taken trainings and used

the info from Gary Craig's site.

There are free and nearly free items there TONS of great material.

I have other great links so if you want more info reply to me

WHY YOU MAY NOT HAVE HEARD OF EFT BEFORE

 

The use of this technique is relatively new and may be a part of the

beginning of a complete revolution in the way we handle our

emotions. In many cases, difficulties that have persisted in spite

of years of work using the methods of traditional psychology may be

relieved in minutes. If, not, relief is generally possible within

days or weeks rather than years.

 

EFT was developed earlier in the 1990's by Gary Craig, whose academic

training includes a Stanford Engineering Degree. While personal

healing has been his passion for over 30 years, Gary is neither a

licensed therapist nor a trained psychologist. Many of the concepts

underlying EFT came from Gary's training in Thought Field Therapy

(TFT) under the tutorship of Dr. Roger Callahan. TFT involves the use

of 10 or 15 individualized tapping routines.

 

EFT differs in that it employs only one comprehensive tapping routine

which is used for all emotional and physical problems. Because of

this, it is easy enough to be mastered by most people.

Biofeedback is an excellent source for help with

depression.

 

I am off meds for depression now for almost 2 years. I

was on them for over 30 years since I was a

teenager(prozac, paxil, mellaril, vivactil, elavil,

wellbutrin, and many more). It is wonderful to not

have to take them anymore. I contribute that to using

Quantum Biofeedback on myself. I'm alive, feel great

and I'm not doing emotional rollercoasts like I did

all those years I was on meds.

Hi Angie, I'm sorry that things look so bleak for you right now, hang

in there, because there is hope and many answers for your

depression. You just need to find what works best for you. To

answer your question, EFT does help eliminate symptoms of depression,

you can go to someone, like a counselor who uses EFT and you can also

learn EFT for yourself. I have also found accupuncture to be

wonderful for depression. I would recommend a visit to a health care

provider that can look at the big picture with you. Take a look at

your diet, are you eating healthy? No sugar, alcohol, high fat

foods, processed foods, etc. Basically, a lot of water, lean protien

and fresh veggies. How much do you exercise? Something each day is

important, a walk, a Yoga class, etc. What is your support system

like? Use it when you need to. There are many things to take into

account and I would recommend you see someone such as a therapist to

talk about what is going on and to come up with a plan to feel

better. I know things look difficult now, but it will get better.

The first step is simply to take a first step to get some help. Good

luck.
