Introduction To EFT | Working On The Body

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an incredible tool that has been used for over a decade to help people overcome a wide variety of physical and emotional issues.

EFT was developed earlier in the 1990′s by Gary Craig, whose academic training includes a Stanford Engineering Degree.

While personal healing has been his passion for over 30 years, Gary is neither a licensed therapist nor a trained psychologist.

Many of the concepts underlying EFT came from Gary’s training in Thought Field Therapy (TFT) under the tutorship of Dr. Roger Callahan.

It is easy enough to be mastered by most people.

Set a number before you begin tapping to assess the emotional load attached to whatever issue you are addressing. If zero is no emotion and 10 is the biggest emotion you can feel then where are you? Take a guess, your intuition will guide you.

The set up takes place while either rubbing on the sore spot or by tapping the fingers of one hand against the Karate Chop side of the other hand and saying Even though I have this (insert problem or feeling here) I completely and fully love and accept myself and forgive myself. Repeat the set up three times.

Begin Tapping using the two fingers together of your dominant hand, tapping for seven or eight times on each point before moving on. There is no need to count and tap with enough pressure to feel a slight bounce. Repeat a reminder phrase as you tap around the Meridian Points e.g. This chocolate craving; This sadness; This emptiness; this anger in my belly.

After a Tapping round take a deep breath with a slow exhalation. Sip some water. Good hydration is vital with all energy work. Check your number. Has it gone up or down? Have other things come to mind? You may well need to tap again or use any new insights to guide your next Tapping rounds. If it feels too difficult to do this alone then consult a qualified Meridian Energy Therapist.
