EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique
What is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?
Emotional Freedom Technique is a modern meridian-based energy therapy which utilises acupressure points to free negative emotional energy.
All energy therapies can trace their earliest origins to acupressure and shiatsu techniques developed in China and Japan thousands of years ago. Acupuncture in its purest form using needles is still used today.
Bringing Eastern & Western therapy techniques together
EFT is a fusion of the old and the new, bringing together ideas from Eastern and Western beliefs. It is based on the principle that 'the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system'. In other words it is a powerful form of psychological acupressure based on Chinese acupuncture, but without the needles.
How is Emotional Freedom Technique used?
Having identified specific negative emotional states such as anger, anxiety, fear, sadness, hurt, or guilt, a 'neutralising affirmation' is established. This affirmation is then repeated whilst tapping various acupressure points on the body (tapping the areas with fingers - there are no needles involved) as well as the movement of thoughts and feelings from one side of the brain to the other. Clients are taught how they can use this technique for themselves at home. EFT is simple, fun, and easy to learn.
Emotional Freedom Technique can be used to treat physical and emotional symptoms. Principally it is used to release negative emotions and eliminate cravings. It can literally 'melt away' emotions in a matter of minutes.
As well as being an effective method of setting free negative emotions, EFT can also help with pain relief and as a relaxation tool. It is much easier to demonstrate this technique than it is to explain it.
