Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT for short, is an unbelievable breakthrough in therapy which is providing relief from pain, and helping to cure disease and emotional issues for thousands of people. Simply put, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture without the needles, and it is performing miracles all over the world.

Our bodies energy meridian points were established thousands of years ago and have been used by many cultures ever since. EFT involves stimulating these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips. This tapping enables you to release stored trauma and negative emotions which disrupt your energy system, consequently bringing relief from pain on various levels.

A growing number of health practitioners, even in traditional medicine, now recognise the connection between our emotions and physical pain and disease, to the point where negative emotions are now considered to be the major contributor to most physical ailments.

Beliefs of Eastern medicine which have been around for over 5,000 years, were echoed by Albert Einstein in the 1920's when he stated that everything, including our own bodies, is composed of energy.

Regrettably, Western Medicine has ignored these ancient philosophies for hundreds of years, unwittingly and unnecessarily prolonging our pain and suffering. This is why energy healing methods such as EFT work when nothing else will.

Instead of taking months or years with conventional counselling, EFT can fast track results down to even one or two sessions. Positive results are literally experienced within minutes of beginning the tapping. This emotional clearing soon results in the fading of physical pain and discomfort. The symptoms may even vanish altogether. Emotional Freedom Technique also has the ability to change negative belief systems about ourselves that limit our potential and prevent us from living the life we deserve.

Once you have learned the EFT Technique you can use it anywhere for virtually anything. It is quick to learn and incredibly easy to use.

There are two main types of problems typically addressed by EFT. The first occurs when an event affects specific meridian points in your energy system, resulting in emotional pain and feelings of inadequacy. When a meridian is affected by trauma, some of its energy may be reduced which creates an imbalance. Tapping the meridian point increases energy flow at that spot, which rebalances the energy system.

The other type of problem is psychological reversal. This is where a particular event, good or bad, has created painful memories for us, and whenever we think about that event, or experience a similar one, we re-experience the associated feelings at that time all over again. This learned response to negative situations explains why people develop and repeat negative behaviours that keep sabotaging their lives and can't seem to break the cycle.

Psychological reversals may prove more difficult to treat as these can reside deep in the subconscious, hiding to prevent being discovered. EFT can uncover some very surprising beliefs about yourself and your environment that you never knew you had. These revelations or epiphanies, often enable a great deal of self realisation that can bring a rush of understanding, opening up a whole new and exciting world.

Using EFT yourself everyday is very effective and will transform your life. Sometimes when issues are particularly deep and recurring, working with a practitioner increases the effectiveness of the technique. This is because often our subconscious will not allow us to discover some of the core issues responsible for our emotional pain and a practitioner can assist in uncovering those hidden negative emotions.

Consider EFT the missing link in your pursuit of health and happiness.

Happy tapping!
