What is Emotional Freedom Techniques?

“EFT is destined to be a top healing tool for the 21st century.” Cheryl Richardson

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) also known as 'tapping' is a profound and powerful stress release technique. EFT can be applied to ALL emotional, physical or psychological issues.

Essentially EFT works on the subtle energies which are prevalent throughout the human body. Our bodies are profoundly electrical by nature which is why when we rub our feet on a carpet and then touch a metal object we receive a slight shock. Although we cannot see this electrical circuitry, the vital constant communication of impulses is being sent throughout the body in order to keep it informed as to what is going on. Without this intricate vital electrical communication system we would not hear, see, touch, feel, taste or smell.  Further evidence of this electrical circuit is that both the electroencephalograph (EEG) and electrocardiograph (EKG) record electrical activities of the brain and heart respectively.

Some 5, 000 years ago the Chinese discovered the body’s complex energy circuitry. This electrical circuitry, also known as subtle energy or meridians are core to both acupressure and acupuncture and as such, EFT is the emotional version of acupuncture. EFT involves dialogue and a rapid tapping on the body at specified points; it doesn’t entail unpleasant needles!  EFT is relatively quick, yet extremely effective and powerful.

EFT is holistic in approach and based on the discovery that imbalances within the body’s energy system have profound effects on one’s personal psychology and physiology. EFT’s discovery statement says: the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. To quote, Gary Craig the Founder of EFT, “medicine for example pays very little attention to the disruptions in the body’s energy meridians nor does it give much weight to emotional causes. These causes, of course, are the centrepiece of EFT.  Thus it is no wonder that EFT produces benefits where the medical profession has thrown up its hands.  The reason is simply because we are taking aim at causes that others have largely disregarded. EFT is a radical departure from conventional techniques.”

As the name Emotional Freedom Techniques implies, one therefore achieves independence and freedom from negative emotions. Be this freedom from anxiety, fears, stress, grief, anger, years of self doubt, panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorders (PTSD), addictions, depression, guilt, fears of public speaking/heights/spiders/snakes/the dark, negative memories like rape, incest or other forms of abuse etc.

The simple effects of tapping the physical body to produce rapid emotional shifts may be a little much for some to comprehend. However the results speak for themselves and even the most hardened of sceptics has had to concede to these amazing and wonderful results. 

EFT is a powerful system because it can be used on practically any issue, experience or situation we find ourselves in … we have a saying in the EFT world ’try it on anything and everything! It often works where nothing else will.’
