EFT—Emotional Freedom Technique

EFT is a powerful healing tool that combines the ancient wisdom of meridian energy—as used in acupuncture—with modern psychology. EFT can help you let go of painful memories, release emotional baggage and allow you to begin to see things in a different, more positive light. EFT can also be used on physical pain as well as subconscious behaviour patterns.

I am aware that if you haven’t experienced EFT you might be sceptical that EFT could do all of this. If I tell you it is incredibly easy to do and learn to do for yourself, then you might wonder if this is hocus-pocus quackery. But if you did, you would be wrong. EFT is being used by complementary therapists and is increasingly recognised by traditional medical practitioners too who recommend it for assisting people with cancer. Last year an EFT summit was held via the internet and 150,000 people attended. If you go to YouTube, you will find thousands of videos of therapists teaching and showing you how to do EFT. But better still are the many thousands of people who have changed their lives using EFT.

How does EFT work?

EFT involves tapping on meridian points whilst stating the truth of what you feeling – even if the rational part of you says it’s daft or silly to feel like this. The tapping is done in a sequence that begins on the side of the hand and then taps on specific points on the face and upper body. The tapping sequences combined with the words are known as recipes. I teach everyone the Basic Recipe (originally defined by Gary Craig who brought EFT to the world) so that when you go home, you can continue this powerful process by yourself. I often use different recipes according to your needs. I am big fan of Nick Ortner of Tapping Solutions who has much to promote EFT to the world.

Usually, my way is to weave EFT and Life Coaching together as this is a powerful way to help you both release what is trapped within and to gain a new perspective on both what has happened to you in the past and show you new choices for moving forward.
