Emotional Freedom Technique ("EFT")

Based on impressive new discoveries regarding the body's subtle energies, EFT has been proven successful in thousands of clinical cases. It applies to just about every problem you can name and it often works where nothing else will.

You can learn all the basics for free by downloading the EFT Manual at
http://www.emofree.com/a/?2072/1.  If you wish to save time and dive right in then explore the affordable EFT DVD Library at http://www.emofree.com/a/?2072/2

EFT was developed by Gary Craig, and is an approach using acupressure and key phrases and affirmations that can provide relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues.  Essentially, it is a unique application of acupressure points (no needles are used), and is intended as a self-help technique.  Practitioners assist clients and patients with formulating their key phrases and teach them the points and the procedure, each according to their professional capabilities and knowledge. I have recently begun integrating this in sessions and can give you a good introduction to it.  Or, you can get the free ebook and begin exploring this fascinating system on your own.

It's incredibly easy to learn and do for yourself.  To go to the EFT home page to find out more, go to http://www.emofree.com/a/?2072

More on EFT...

The EFt Discovery Statement says...

"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) agrees with this and states that all physical and emotional problems begin with imbalances and blockages in the energy fields and meridians. The healing system of Ayurveda also holds this as a fundamental truth.  EFT may well be the piece missing from Western medicine.  Not only does it address the body/mind connection, it requires patients to participate in their own healing in an active, conscious way.

With that in mind, the following statement is a logical corollary:

"Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases."

Just imagine -- if all you had to do to resolve illness and pain was to spend some time tapping on acupressure points while repeating sentences you've created that fully express and transform those concerns.  It sounds amazingly simple, and it is.  I offer a basic introduction to EFT in sessions with clients who want to transform themselves at all levels.  Contact me for more info at (530) 758-4556 or journeyhh@comcast.net.

Here is the most recent press release about EFT published on PRWeb:

"Do-It-Yourself Acupressure Technique Helps Protect Patients Against Medical Mistakes

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB: -- Every year over 100,000 Americans die because of medical mishaps, and millions more are harmed. According to a report released July 20 by the Institute of Medicine, medication errors alone injure 1.5 million patients and cost the nation at least $3.5 billion annually. Drug errors are so widespread, the report says, that hospital patients should expect to suffer one every day they remain hospitalized. Everyone agrees that avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and unnecessary prescriptions is an excellent idea.

Diet, exercise, and good relationships boost immunity and improve health – and so does a simple do-it-yourself acupressure technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), which a growing number of health care practitioners are adopting. EFT is explained in a free manual that can be downloaded from
http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp

“At least 85 percent of medical problems are physical manifestations of how stress, anxiety, or past traumas are held in and processed by the body,” says Los Angeles physician Eric Robins, MD. “EFT is the best technique for addressing these issues and clearing them out of the body.”

Dr. Robins considers the official estimate of 100,000 deaths per year because of medical mistakes conservative. “When you add in side-effects from drugs, adverse reactions, inadvertent overdoses, and under-reporting, which is a serious problem in America’s hospitals,” he says, “the death rate is much higher.”

Dr. Robins, a urologist, routinely teaches EFT to patients who have chronic infections or other conditions that don’t respond to conventional treatment. “Time after time,” he says, “they respond in just a few minutes. In some cases, we have cancelled surgeries when chronic problems resolved themselves thanks to EFT. What happens is that the tapping releases old traumas or stresses that are stored in different parts of the body, and as soon as the underlying problem goes away, so do its physical symptoms.”

Texas emergency physician Thomas Flowers, D.O., agrees. “The pharmaceutical industry has become one of our biggest health care expenses,” he says. “But most diseases have a significant emotional component that is completely ignored by conventional medicine. I’ve been using EFT for years, and I’m continually impressed by how effective it is at clearing emotional issues and improving overall health in the process. I’ve seen it work on migraine headaches, chronic neck and back pain, phobias, panic attacks, cravings for cigarettes and caffeine, and even for relief from the pain of broken bones or tooth extractions. I have no doubt that people who learn EFT and use it routinely enjoy better overall health – and a much lower risk of being harmed by medical mistakes.”

Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, has collected thousands of reports documenting its health benefits from practitioners around the world. “We make no specific medical claims for EFT,” he explains, “but we agree with medical experts who say that by relieving past traumas and improving the body’s flow of energy, EFT can help most patients improve their health.”

EFT is a new procedure, but already over 300,000 – including thousands of health care practitioners – have downloaded its free manual from
http://www.emofree.com/downloadeftmanual.asp, and an additional 10,000 download it every month. The manual is available in nine languages, and EFT practitioners around the world, especially in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, teach EFT classes and work with clients."

Important note (from EFT website): "While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Further, Gary Craig is not a licensed health professional and offers EFT as an ordained minister and as a personal performance coach. Those who want to discuss the use of EFT for a specific emotional problem with a professional in the mental health field are referred to our Referral section, where a number of licensed practitioners who use EFT in their practices are listed."
