Emotional Freedom Techniques

 How would you like to find inner peace, overcome your fears, phobias and all types of negative emotions in minutes? How would you like to relieve and clear anger, trauma, sadness and anxiety, safely, rapidly and permanently?  Leaving your mind, body and spirit refreshed, recharged, balanced and joyful. 

There are new forms of Energy medicine and psychotherapy sweeping the western world and they are grouped under the heading of Energy Psychology. These new energy therapies are based on the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern day Applied Kinesiology (AK)).

For thousands of years the Chinese in TCM have understood the importance of the emotions as part of the overall picture of a client’s health problems. It took the open minded thinking of an American Psychologist, Dr Roger Callahan to develop a western psychological version of acupressure.

One of Dr.Callahan’s students, Gary Craig then developed a set of techniques that everyone can learn to use easily and quickly. It doesn’t require special diagnostic training or even any knowledge of the body’s energy system. Gary called his system EFT- Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Over the last 30 years, including Dr Callahan's work, there has developed a number of truly amazing therapies all incorporating the same premise that; - "the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system".

It seems it isn't our past memories that cause us stress and pain but the negative emotional energy charge that these memories stored in the brain and acupuncture meridian/pathways. Until the pathways are cleared of this energy disruption the memory will always cause stress to the mind and nervous system.

So instead of trying to undo the thoughts or memories, which has been attempted by millions in therapy for many years, usually with highly unpredictable results, the energy based therapies directly intervene in the middle step, the disrupted energy flow.

Once the energy pathway has been cleared the person experiences no further pain or negative emotions from the original memory or thought. 5O% of people will experience rapid results in 15 to 20 minutes, a further 30 to 40% with a little extra help will respond in 40 to 6O minutes.

Only a very small percentage of people do not receive any change at all and this is usually the result of the person not following through with the techniques.

Each session involves gently tapping a sequence of energy points on the upper body with the fingertips, which clears the negative emotional charge. Nothing else is used and the client doesn't have to discuss the problem, as long as they are inwardly focused on the problem, the tapping works.

It seems to be too good to be true and yet it only takes one session to experience the results.

Once learnt it is easy to practice on yourself. It truly is the best self help technique for healing negative emotions and finding inner peace.

Steven Wells, a Perth based psychologist says "The energy work is not a psychology technique but it can give huge psychological results."

Rob says;

"After studying Gary Craig's in-depth courses and the EFT course run in Australia by Dr. David Lake and Steve Wells, I truly am excited about the potential of EFT. With EFT we can now offer those in need a gentle, safe natural means of becoming free of toxic feelings, constricting anxiety and limiting beliefs.  EFT enables me to teach a simple and yet effect set of techniques that anyone may easily learn and practice with far reaching positive results. What a gift!”

EFT may also be used to: - deepen relaxation, create happier relationships, improve study, develop prosperity consciousness, clear addictions and enhance sports performance.
