What is it?
"EFT is a very flexible improvement tool that can be used for just about everything. I am using my version of it here and have had extraordinary results and urge you to contact me for more. The original version and complete training can be found at http://www.emofree.com"
Imagine what you could achieve – in your relationships, in your career, with your health – if you no longer lived with limiting fears, anger, sadness, grief, jealousy, and/or low self esteem. Could you ask for the raise or the promotion you deserve? Could you lower your blood pressure and live free of headaches and back pain?
Negative emotions impact us on multiple levels: physically, socially, psychologically and spiritually. The fact that thoughts and feelings can affect our health is hardly news. In the span of a few decades, mind-body medicine has evolved from heresy into something approaching cliché. Due to 21st-century science, we now know anxiety, alienation and hopelessness are not just feelings. Neither are love, serenity and optimism. All are physiological states that affect our health just as clearly as obesity or physical fitness. It all starts in the brain and is carried out to the body through the body’s energy system.
Acupuncture and other energy-based therapies are now widely accepted in Western medicine as a viable adjunct to treat a variety of physical ailments and pain. Now we have energy-based treatment modality that works in reducing or eliminating negative emotions and emotional pain which play a significant role in the function or dysfunction of our immune system.
Based on impressive new discoveries involving the body's subtle energies, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has been effective in treating thousands of people experiencing a wide array of mental, emotional, and physical symptoms. I learned this technique while attending a national certification course in traumatology at the University of South Florida. EFT has been utilized by disaster relief teams, such as the Green Cross, for victims of the tsunami in Southeast Asia, Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, and a dozen other settings.
Energy Psychologists have come to understand that, “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.” And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true... "Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases."
Tapping Points for EFT
Possible EFT Limitations:
- I'm not saying that EFT is perfect. We don't get results 100% of the time. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. And, it often works where nothing else will.
- EFT is usually quite gentle and one can often achieve substantial relief with little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however. Some people's issues are so intense that the mere mention of them causes emotional or physical pain. But, given time, even these are often resolved efficiently with EFT.
If you are new to energy based therapies, this information will not be easy to swallow. If you are like most people, it will take personal experience to change your current understanding of the healing process. All that is asked is that you keep your mind open to the possibility that EFT may work long enough for us to prove it you.
Almost everyone has stress, fear, self-limiting thoughts or behaviors, or an emotional issue that is annoying or troublesome. You too are likely to have some sort of concern that is treatable by EFT.
