Emotional Freedom Technique for Health

Richard MacKenzie : Nearly everybody has some sort of phobia or skeleton in their closet that could do with being dealt with. Whether it is something that happened in your teens or adulthood, a phobia of flying or maybe of public speaking, then a reasonably new procedure called Emotional Freedom Technique could be for you! Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is a therapy that is rapidly gaining favour amongst many people from many walks of life – including Hollywood superstars. Many therapists such as Hypnotherapists, Psychotherapists, Councillors and even medical staff are learning the benefits for their clients. Whilst EFT looks like quite a strange technique at first and seems not too dissimilar to the realms of tree hugging and other new age techniques it seems to work and for most people that’s all that counts. I myself have used EFT in therapy with my clients and have achieved some amazing results, sometimes where nothing else has worked. So what is EFT and what will it do for you? Well… this is a massive question; however I will have a go at giving you the best answer that I can. EFT is a process of tapping on certain parts of your body whilst occasionally humming and moving your eyes in certain directions all at the same time as thinking about the issue that is making you feel bad. There… I did say it would seem a bit strange; however don’t let this put you off. The creators of EFT say that it works by clearing emotional blockages in our energy system. This is unlikely as the energy system or Meridians have never been proven to exist so this theory is just that – a theory. The much more logical explanation is that it desensitises and alters the image that you run through your mind when you think about your phobia or an issue that is upsetting you. You see, each time we experience something like a phobia we run a picture trough our minds of what ‘might happen’. It is this that makes us feel bad and not actually being in the situation as this is just a trigger for the phobic response. By running through this picture in your head, whilst doing things like humming, tapping and moving your eyes, this allows your mind to experience the image differently. It allows the image to morph, thus allowing you to feel differently about it. So there you have it… Emotional Freedom Technique may seem a bit quirky, but it might just be the thing for you!

Emotional Freedom Techniques are a self-healing energy therapy for releasing your limiting beliefs. This simple tapping technique is safe, free and painless and often gives instant results.

I first heard about EFT through Bob Doyle’s Wealth Beyond Reason program. And if you saw the movie The Secret but have been frustrated about not seeing any results then the Emotional Freedom Techniques will be an incredible discovery for you too.

EFT goes hand in hand with the Law of Attraction because it eliminates the emotional, unconscious resistance that we all have that block us from getting the things we want in life.

I wasted no time at all experimenting with it myself and I had incredible results right away. I tried the technique and within days I got clear on some deep relationship issues that I had been struggling with for months.

What a relief!

I found false beliefs that I was holding onto that were blocking me from my happiness. Experiencing that relief so instantly after months of suffering was the only proof I needed to find out more about this.I gathered some incredible information and now I get to share it with YOU.

What Are The Emotional Freedom Techniques?

EFT is based on the ancient principles of acupuncture. It’s actually an emotional version of acupuncture without the needles. It’s a simple tapping technique that gently realigns the body’s energy system and incorporates an emotional element into the healing process.

Emotional Freedom Techniques address the feelings, especially the negative feelings, about issues in your life, for example: fears, phobias, sadness, anger or just about anything that interrupts the smooth and peaceful flow of your life.

EFT is founded upon the belief that negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the flow of the body’s energy.

Physical and emotional health is about balance and harmony. An out of balance energy system stresses the body. What causes stress? The answer is really quite simple. Negative emotions, feelings, thoughts, ideas and beliefs cause stress. Every thought and emotion has a physiologic response.

You may not have heard of EFT, and it looks kinda weird. The good news is… it works! It requires a simple tapping with your fingertips on certain key power points on the body to neutralize negative emotions. While tapping, you state a truth about how you feel along with a positive affirmation.

Now I am no authority on this subject by any means, but lucky for you Gary Craig, the founder of EFT, has the ultimate resource for anything you ever wanted to know about Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Gary Craig the inventor/developer of EFT will retire at the beginning of 2010, unfortunately, after that the EFT website will be no longer. He has devoted many many years to helping others, he now needs to devote some quality time to himself.

If you were interested in becoming an EFT practitioner, you would have to hop in very quickly, for there is much to learn, and very little time. Also if you would like to download the free manual from the EFT site, then better to do so now, before the site closes down.

StewartRobertson :

Emotional freedom technique or EFT works for the immediate and permanent elimination of various phobias. Many EFT practitioners have cured all sorts of phobias, which  people  have battled with  for years or all their lives.

The EFT in solving phobias involves redirecting the old thought patterns or response mechanisms of phobic people to the thing or situation they have a phobia about and basically creating a new set of more useful patterns or mechanisms of behavior to replace the old phobic response.

Thousands of testimonials from people who have been cured of their phobias have spread the word about the success of EFT. There were even known instances of phobias being cured in a single EFT session only.

In fact, EFT can be used as a self-help treatment for phobia. There are online or printed resources that offers step-by-step guide on how to cure phobias successfully in self -help treatment. At one point, you still need to learn the EFT from an expert or practitioner via courses, trainings or, studying manuals or video presentations. You cannot rely on your own because phobias are complicated and intense emotional and psychological conditions, thus proper training is necessary.

Then the process of facing one’s fear will begin. This is not as simple as it sounds since people with phobic response cannot even think about or even verbalized the object of their fear as it gives them extreme stress, anxiety or, fear. This process should not be forced under any circumstances. Phobic people should not be forced to face their fears. It should be done comfortably, gently, and in the most natural way. Each person should progress following their own timeframe, it differs for everyone.

Likewise, there is a different starting point for every person, it is not uniform. The important thing is that the person is relaxed or comfortable enough so that the process of eliminating his or her phobia can start. There has to be acceptance that despite the phobic condition, the person is loved or the he or she loves himself or herself. Eventually, the fear or fright will be replaced by curiosity and there will be lesser resistance and anxiety.

When this happens, the actual process of phobia elimination begins. It entails distancing one’s self from the object of phobia. Most of the time, the phobia is actually a direct or indirect effect of a stressful situation. So the underlying causes need to be identified and uncovered.
