It is assumed that past traumatic memory is the direct cause of emotional upset, it is not, there is an intermediate step .. .. a missing piece .. .. between memory and the emotional upset and that, of course, is the disruption in the body's energy system. 

 

By tapping on various acupressure points and using suitable affirmations to clear the "short circuit"- emotional block- the energy system can be balanced and internal calm will replace negative emotions. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How Does EFT Work? 

It might help if you compare the energy flow in your body to that of a TV set. As long as the electricity flows through your TV normally, the sound and picture are both clear. But what would happen if you took off the back of the TV and poked a screwdriver amongst all that "electronic spaghetti"? You would, quite obviously, disrupt or reroute the flow of electricity and an electric short circuit or "zzzzt" would occur inside. The picture and sound would become erratic and the TV would exhibit it's version of a "negative emotion". In the same way, when our energy becomes imbalanced or disrupted, we have an electrical "zzzzzt" effect going on inside. 

Straighten out this "zzzzzt" (by tapping and saying some suitable affirmations) and the negstive emotion goes away. It's simple. I'm quite aware how strange this may sound and how difficult it can be to believe .. at least at first. I wouldn't believe it myself if I hadn't seen so many marvelous changes in people after applying these techniques! It is that disruption, the "zzzzzt" that is the direct cause of emotional upset. This is displayed graphically below 

 Please note that if Step 2 does not occur then Step 3 is impossible. In other words ... if the memory does not cause a disruption in the body's energy system, then the negative emotion cannot occur. That is why some people are bothered by their memories and others are not. The difference is that some people have a tendency for their energy systems to become imbalanced under such a memory, while others do not. 

And that's where EFT comes in. By tapping on various acupressure points and using suitable affirmations to clear the "short circuit"- emotional block- the energy system can be balanced and internal calm will replace negative emotions.

Energy Meridians

Properly applied by a trained therapist, over 80% achieve either noticable improvement or complete cessation of the problem. It is the missing piece to the healing puzzle. 

EFT often works where nothing else will. 

Usually rapid, long lasting and gentle. No drugs or equipment involved Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT) was pioneered by Gary H Craig. Since developing EFT more than a decade ago, Gary Craig has seen outstanding results, and because of it's very high rate of success, the use of EFT has spread rapidly to every corner of the world. Gradually, what started as a body process became a psychological technique with the inclusion of cognitive or mental clearings that affect the way people think, feel and behave. Psychologists not only tapped into body functions, they also found the connection between the body, mind and spirit. By tapping into the meridian points, practitioners learned how much it simutaniously affected the psyche/soul/spirit.
