EFT is an "Energy Psychology" method, whereby you stimulate acupressure points whilst saying special phrases to release negative emotions. It is used by many as a self-help method for any emotional or physical condition. EFT is also very popular with hypnotherapists, hypnotists, NLPers, and psychotherapists, who are discovering just how easy this new method is to add to their repertoire. Energy practitioners, from acupuncturists to Reiki healers, are also adding EFT to their repertoire. As are massage therapists, physiotherapists, and personal trainers. Some doctors have adopted it already and regularly either use it with their patients or refer them to an EFT practitioner.
Although EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, it has been found to help many physical conditions, as varied as back pain and asthma.
EFT works on the principle that what causes undesirable feelings and behaviour is a disruption in the body's energy system. This energy is the same energy or Chi that various therapies talk about, including acupuncture, Reiki, and Shiatsu.
In essence, when we do EFT, we:
Remove the "wrong" energy from our body by using the meridian lines as a kind of waste disposal system.
Access this "wrong" energy to be removed by calling it up.
So when we do EFT, we:
Tap on special points in the body's meridian system.
Call up the waste energy to be disposed of by saying a Reminder phrase. This is after setting up the process safely and gently using a Setup phrase.
This is like:
Your waste disposal people come to collect your household waste.
In order for them to do so, you pick it up and put it out for them to collect.
It is important to understand that we only briefly connect to the negative in EFT. We safely and gently dispose of it. And to dispose of it, we need to safely collect it and throw it away. This is so effective that sometimes, people forget they ever had a problem with something in the first place.
