The Background To EFT

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques to use the full title, was developed in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford Engineering graduate.

Based on the ancient principles of acupuncture, 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 body. 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 removes 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 Practitioner.

EFT Aids Weight Loss Even Over The Phone! 

Discover how Dr Carol Look used EFT over the phone to help a client lose weight

"Fiona" has been working with me by telephone for 5-6 months to lose weight and has lost a total of 20 pounds so far. Her story and our tapping sessions are described below:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LETTER FROM FIONA: I come from a family where food and weight are major issues. I can't remember a time when these subjects were not mentioned, and they are discussed constantly, even now. My oldest sister was always overweight...my Mom even used to lock the pantries to keep her out. She had gastric bypass surgery last year. Body image was always stressed as well. Two out of three sisters in my family had plastic surgery by our 16th birthdays. I was one of them.

I am the mother of 10 children from combined marriages and I have battled weight issues since I can remember. It has fluctuated, but I have been more than 30 lbs overweight at times. The way I was brought up, you would think I was over 100 lbs overweight when I saw my reflection. I have been a yo-yo dieter, an emotional eater and a binge eater.

When I started EFT tapping, I noticed my cravings going away. I used to have certain comfort foods; all kinds of chocolate, cereals, ice cream, Starbucks coffee with extra caramel and more. I was obsessed with these foods and loved them.

After working with the tapping, I became aware of my emotions that were connected to eating. I never felt like I was enough for my family or did enough. After taking care of my husband and the 7 children still living at home, I never felt like anyone took care of me. I felt deprived and food was my comfort. Anger and frustration at my husband and the kids sent me immediately to the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fiona has often said she feels overwhelmed with her roller coaster life, and can't ever feel calm or relaxed... "There is always something else to do." I have asked her to regularly tap for: "Even though there's never enough time and I'm always too busy, I deeply and completely accept myself." Fiona makes time to tap on herself in between sessions, even though she has 7 children still at home, several with learning disabilities that require extra meetings with counselors and tutors.

A Great Resource For Anyone Looking For Healing 

You CAN Heal with EFT

As an EFT practitioner I'm aware of the power of EFT to help people overcome all sorts of problems and challenges but equally I'm aware that many of those most in need of healing aren't in a position to pay for treatment.

While I can help some of those people myself there are many more who don't want to approach any practitioner when they can't afford to pay for their services.

So I was delighted to read a new ebook called "You CAN Heal with EFT" by Jo Hainsworth. This comprehensive 68 page book is both an introduction to the basics of EFT and a detailed look at how you can use EFT to heal yourself.

Jo herself suffered from a chronic physical illness for many years and it was as a result of that illness that she discovered the healing powers of EFT.

I highly recommend Jo's book and you can download a copy here at: Free EFT Book

EFT Translations 

Even if you're competent in speaking English, if it's not your first language you can often find it a little time consuming to try and read in it. So if you would prefer to read the EFT manual in Spanish, French or German here are the links to download it in those three languages - with my apologies if the link text doesn't make sense! At least the manuals are done correctly :-)

What Success Have YOU Had With EFT? 

I, like most EFT practitioners, love to hear of the multitude of different things people have used EFT for successfully and I'd love to hear your success story.

Here's what Jo Hainsworth, author of the outstanding free ebook "You CAN Heal with EFT", has to say about her success with EFT:

"I suffered from CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and systemic candidiasis for over 20 years. I had multiple food and chemical sensitivities, and thought my immune system had been damaged beyond repair. After trying just about every modality going, in three sessions of EFT (with only my partner, who was also new to EFT, supporting me), I healed the core beliefs underlying my illness and I have been totally well since. I wouldn't have thought it possible if I hadn't done it myself. I will be forever thankful for discovering this amazing tool."

I have used EFT to release negative emotional states such as resentment, resistance, regret, judgment, and anger. I have also used it to help me let go of old, painful memories.
