| Hypnosis is older than recorded history. Thousands of years ago, primitive people in Africa and Australia used chanting, drums, and the fixation of their eyes to achieve the state we now know as hypnosis. They were able to effortlessly perform amazing physical feats and easily endure situations that would ordinarily cause excruciating physical pain. |
Dis-ease
"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system"
or you could say
""The cause of all problems in life is a disruption in the body's energy sytems"
In the mid 1990's, a man named Gary Craig took elements from other Meridian Energy Therapies and he created a simple healing protocol which he named "The Emotional Freedom Techniques". He began teaching those techniques to people in workshops and with video tapes of his seminars. Psychologists, personal coaches, hypnotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors, and others have flocked to EFT in overwhelming numbers. For many professionals it has become their main personal development tool.

What is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a lot like
hypnotherapy with an added body component, and with EFT there is no
need to go into trance. You are able to gain access to parts of
your subconscious mind safely, easily and rapidly. Everyone can do
it, and once you learn EFT, it's yours forever.
As people experience EFT, most report a profound easing of
stress-producing emotions like anxiety and fear, anger and
frustration, sadness, even cravings. EFT involves a simple process
of tapping on stress-relief points (our body's energy meridians),
actually acupuncture points, on the body as we talk about your
issue. You may do the tapping yourself or with your therapist and
as you learn to 'tap away' the negative emotional charge, you'll
have a very effective tool to help yourself and others.
E.F.T. usually allows you to achieve lasting results
in 2-5 sessions. And with E.F.T., we do have quite a few "one
session wonders"! Many times, E.F.T. works in a complementary way
with other therapies. For instance, someone who is processing
issues with a talk therapist would benefit from the direct,
body-centered emotional clearing offered by E.F.T. Individual
sessions are very effective, yet E.F.T. lends itself quite well to
work in groups. Since you can often achieve your goals in a group
setting at a substantial savings, you may find E.F.T. particularly
accessible. Another advantage of E.F.T. is that sessions can be
very successfully done over the phone. You can experience this
healing work in the convenience of your home, and phone sessions
can often be more easily scheduled than office visits, especially
if you live at a distance.
How does it work?
The stress-relief points on the body that we tap in
the EFT procedure are in fact meridian points based on the same
system as acupuncture. EFT founder Gary Craig calls EFT "an
emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles.
Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian
points while the client is 'tuned in' to the problem." EFT is one
of a growing number of energy/meridian therapies, and while we
aren't sure just how they work, the remarkable thing about them is
that they work so well. For many issues, the success rate is 80% or
higher, something no other form of therapy can claim.
One of the most appealing things about EFT is its
simplicity. Even a child can learn it in minutes. You learn one
simple tapping process, and no matter what is bothering you,
chances are you will feel less bothered after tapping for it. Many
times the negative feelings about a specific issue completely
resolve and you can't get them back. Phobias, for example, often
lift entirely and people cannot experience the old fear even if
they try.
What is at the root of most of our blockages, problems and stress?
It is our negative emotion-fear, anger, anxiety, discomfort,
resentment, depression, hopelessness, and so forth. As you
experience EFT, it feels like "letting the air out of the balloon"
so that you collapse the intensity of the negative emotions, and as
you do, you feel more peaceful and centered, see things more
clearly and can make better choices.
