| EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES: WHAT IS EFT? |
EFT is a simple tapping procedure that realigns the body's energy meridian
system. It is based on the ancient principles of acupuncture, but EFT removes
disruptions and imbalances without the use of needles. It also incorporates an
emotional element, to address the unresolved emotional issues that are likely
causes of physical and psychological disease and dysfunction. In addition, EFT
can remove personal performance limitations that might prevent us from
achieving our goals.
EFT was introduced in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford Engineering graduate
who built on the work of Roger Callahan (Thought Field Therapy) and others to
create this elegantly simple process. Thanks to Gary's ongoing dedication and
re-evaluation of each piece of the technique, EFT continues to improve and
become even easier to use.
The basic philosophy is that negative emotional experiences disrupt the
balance of the body's meridian system. We're all familiar with the knot of
discomfort fear can create in the body, or the uncomfortable "lump in the throat"
feeling of suppressed tears. Science is now capable of seeing the deeper,
physical changes in the body that are brought on by these and other emotions.
The physical changes we experience from emotional disruptions often become
attached to the memory of a specific event or events. They continue to affect
the way we see the world until we heal that imbalance. When it's skillfully
applied, EFT can quickly realign the energy meridians and disconnect the
physical discomfort that is attached to these negative memories or events. In
many cases, resulting symptoms-- pain, phobias, limitations, disease-- are also
removed.
