Emotional Freedom Techniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) help people recover from emotional traumas and other disorders by removing blockages in the energy meridian system.

Through a routine of simple tapping on a series of specific sites on the body, the energy is allowed to flow freely once again. This is an amazing and effective way to clear up traumas, phobias, and many other issues.

How I Learned About EFT 

... I'm so glad I found out about this ... It works!

I was having emotional difficulties. I thought I'd found the PERFECT relationship, but I started having anxiety about losing him. I'd have emotional meltdowns, thinking this was too good to be true.

He was perplexed about what could be bothering me - then he found an ad for EFT on one of his favorite news websites. He went to Gary Craig's Emotional Freedom Techniques website and got a copy of the Free E-book which explains everything you need to know to start doing EFT.

I got immediate relief from some of my anxiety problems, and used it on other issues successfully, including my fear of heights, cliffs, and bridges. Needless to say, we were thrilled with this therapy, and wanted to know more.

Next we bought some of Gary Craig's informative Training DVDs. They are mainly recordings of workshops he's given. You can see people, therapists mostly, being healed of life-long emotional problems, and physical problems too. You can hear their reactions and get an understanding of many advanced techniques that aren't mentioned in the free e-book. I recommend them to anyone who wants to find a way to help themselves or others. The prices on sets are very reasonable.

I have hope that when I move to a larger city (I'm in a small town now) I'll be able to set up an EFT practice and get clients I can help with EFT and a few other energy healing modalities. I can't imagine anything more helpful and versatile.

Twenty EFT experts got together to write this manual. They answer questions in a variety of topic areas.

Energy Meridians 

...what are they?

Energy meridians are paths of energy that run through the body, according to ancient Chinese medicine. They are also called channels, or vessels. The energy running through them is called qi, or chi. This is our life force energy.

There are twenty meridians in the human body: twelve standard meridians and eight extraordinary meridians. They are connected by about 400 acupoints. The meridians affect various sectors of the body, such as lungs, heart, liver, and gall bladder.

How Does Tapping Help? 

...removing energy blockages.

According to Chinese medicine, all health disorders and emotional problems are caused by disruption in the flow of energy along the meridians. EFT tapping allows us to unblock meridians, letting energy flow freely. This permits health to be restored.

Acupoints are places on the energy meridians used by health practitioners to restore energy flow. These points are used in acupuncture, acupressure, and other healing modalities. Tapping on acupoints is a gentle means of making this kind of energy work available to the general public.

How To Use EFT 

...prepare for amazing changes.

EFT is easy to learn. An EFT session starts with a decision about what problem to work on. The client decides how severe this problem is, giving it a number from 1 (not bad) to 10 (a severe upset or pain).

We formulate a "setup phrase" and repeat it three times while tapping on the side of the hand, or while rubbing what we call the sore spot on the chest.

Next comes the tapping. EFT uses twelve acupoints from eyebrows to fingers. While tapping, the client repeats a shorter phrase that describes the problem in just a word or two.

The entire sequence is explained in a free ebook available online. For more information about the free ebook, please visit my website, EFT Joy.
