Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional freedom technique is a ground breaking way in which anxieties, fears and many emotional issues can be effectively cleared in a relatively short time by shifting the energy within us that regulates them.

It is a soothing and gentle pathway to experiencing peace of mind

EFT is effective as it deals with issues from another level of understanding. This understanding is that the human body at its core is made up of electromagnetic energy. In a healthy state that energy flows freely.

Energy is the blueprint and foundation for the health of the body which is composed of energy pathways and centers that are in interplay with our organs, thoughts,cells,emotions and moods. When we shift these energies to flow freely we are able to influence our state of mind,emotions and health.

Emotional Acupuncture without needles

EFT is known as psychological acupuncture, a form of emotional acupuncture without needles. The meridian points on the body which are pathways and sensing points to our emotions and energy flow are stimulated by tapping on them while tuning into the issue or physical ailment. This then shifts and breaks up unwanted negative feelings. Ideas that are held in the mind about situations, people and views which limit our perceptions of life and ourselves then shifts with the new energy flow. As they do the body and brain recodes thought, feelings and emotions of old.

EFT has a positive effect on the electrochemistry of the brain, which in turn is able to create positive mental states.

Many psychological problems can be treated without the need to go through laborious stages of discovery, emoting and cognitive restructuring which are considered to be the true hallmarks of psychotherapy.

Why EFT is so effective.

EFT moves the blocked energy that accumulates in the body. When we experience something which is unpleasant the event is interpreted in the body as well as in the brain. Hardly have we ever been taught to feel our feelings and release them during those times. So we trap the energy of the event within the body. It then gets interpreted by the brain as something to avoid if we felt that it was threatening to our survival. It is due to the minds premature evaluation of an event, the inner child that has a less than logical approach to understanding. Very often the emotional brain or the feeling mind makes such evaluations.

Really the brain is interpreting the feeling. For some talking about a problem will only draw energy to it and feed it, therefore having no release and closure.

What happens with EFT is that a person lets go of all the emotion and feeling that is behind any fear or uncomfortable event and is able to talk about it as if it had happened to someone else, which beforehand  would have been difficult to do. So the event and situation is not charged with emotion.The adult awareness in the now has a clear view and understanding and is not entangled and driven by feeling and emotion.

While it is productive to be able to feeling feelings while doing EFT it is not necessary and can be as useful without going into them. You can still have the release without engaging in the emotional brain.



EFT gives us the means and tools to remove negative thoughts and feelings and ideas about ourselves and the world around us.
