"Emotional Accupuncture without the needles."
No Drugs, No Needles,
You can use it on yourself
Often works when nothing else will....
Gary Craig, Founder of EFT
Emotional Freedom Technique sure looks strange the first time you see it done. But getting relief (big sigh) from something that you have struggled with for years (without success) makes it begin to look a little more acceptable.... at least when no one is around to see you do it....
EFT is a combination of the old and the new. The very, very old part is working with the meridian energy system discovered by the Chinese over 5000 years ago and used very effectively as their primary healing modality to this day. The fairly new part is using a version of talk therapy developed by Freud and Jung, during the late 1800's, just barely 100 years old.
So, by blending the old and the new Gary Craig built on the work of Roger Callahan and came up with the unique. EFT is a technique that uses our words, emotions, memories, physical sensations and pains as clues that lead to the places in the body where we have stored something unpleasant of our personal history. You know, that theory that says everything that happens to you is stored in the cells of your body. Carolyn Myss, a medical intuitive, has a great way of putting it, "Your biography becomes your biology". Think about THAT one for a while....
You ask: So you mean, when I get upset (that is putting it so mildly) about all these various somethings that come along in my life, they affect how my physical body and health function over time.....?
I answer: You are SOO GOOD! You got it in one try!
While this technique is so dynamic it is used quite easily to work with issues as complex as Childhood Abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Weight Loss, Chronic Pain, Fears/Phobias, Anxiety, Headaches, Asthma, Allergies, Blood Pressure, Abuse, Pain Management, Dyslexia, Depression, Eating Disorders, and Claustrophobia, and yet, is so simple that anyone can do it very effectively, even children.
