Introduction to EFT

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me." Eric Robins, MD.

Emotional Freedom Technique has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will.

Overview

EFT is based on the idea that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." - Gary Craig, Founder of EFT.

EFT has been likened to an emotional, needle-free version of acupuncture. It is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between the mind, body and emotions.

When energy flows freely in the body, we are happy and healthy. When there are blockages in this energy system, dis-ease and emotional disruption occurs. EFT works by clearing blockages, allowing the body to return to its natural state of self-healing and health.

EFT combines tapping on the meridian points whilst focusing on emotional or physical problems. It was designed and developed by Gary Craig (www.emofree.com), who adapted it from Dr. Callaghan's Thought Field Therapy.

The joy of EFT is that the basic procedure is so simple that it can easily be learnt and used as a self-help tool. Download Free EFT basic procedure for self-help [326kB PDF document.
