What is EFT?
EFT is a meridian therapy with roots in Chinese acupuncture and Japanese Acupressure. It has evolved from psychologist Dr Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy and developed in the USA by Gary Craig. EFT is ‘energy psychology’, as well as acupuncture without the needles.
The discovery behind EFT is that emotional upsets are the result of an imbalance in the body’s energy system which can cause physical symptoms.
EFT is a simple, non-intrusive method used to treat fears, phobias and pain. It can be applied to addictions, such as smoking, the desire to lose weight or relationship problems. With EFT you can remove blockages related to attitudes and beliefs, in order to achieve greater equilibrium.
How does it work?
EFT is a process that involves tapping on selected energy meridian points of the chest, face and hands. Some eye movements are also carried out, a short tune hummed and you count from 1 – 5. These actions work on stimulating specific parts of the brain, increasing the effectiveness of the energy interventions.
During the procedure the client tunes into the issue troubling them, summarising it in a short affirmation whilst tapping on the selected points with the fingertips. EFT works by accessing the energy flow meridians while the client is focussing on the issue. The body’s energy system is balanced, removing any disturbance to the energy flow. |
