EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES (EFT)

EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:

MindBody Medicine

Acupuncture (without needles)

In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture wherein we stimulate certain meridian points by tapping on them with our fingertips. This addresses a new cause for emotional issues (unbalanced energy meridians). Properly done, this frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. Since emotional stress can contribute to pain, disease and physical ailments, we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.

By introducing EFT into the therapy process, instead of taking months or years using conventional “talk therapy”, EFT often does the the job in one or two sessions. The amazing thing is that when EFT clears out the emotional debris you will notice that physical ailments will start to fade. Headaches, back pains and other discomforts often tend to improve or vanish as emotional issues improve (this is the essence of MindBody
Medicine).

One of the most astonishing things about EFT is that you can apply it to just about everything. The same basic procedure is used for your fear of public speaking as you do for improving your golf score. You can also do it for everything from the common cold to multiple sclerosis. There are reported successes for nearly every emotional issue on the books ….. including fear, trauma, depression and grief.

EFT for Pain Relief is astonishingly effective. “Where did the pain go?” is the common response from most EFT newcomers. Properly applied, an estimated 80% achieve noticeable to complete pain relief within minutes and the result is often long lasting. No meds, surgeries or other medical interventions involved. EFT aims at two vital causes of pain that are largely outside the medical approach. This is why EFT often works for pain relief where nothing else will.

Cause #1 – Disrupted Subtle Energies: It has long been known that subtle energies circulate throughout our bodies and that the free flow of this energy can be vital to our health. Interrupt this energy and the result can be pain and disease. Stop it altogether and you may be headed toward death. Eastern health practices have been based on this concept for over 5,000 years. Einstein’s findings also relate to our bodies being composed of energy.

Cause #2 – Negative Emotions (Anger, Trauma, Fear,etc): It is a well established medical fact that our emotions trigger varying chemicals in our bodies. Joyous emotions can produce healing chemicals while negative emotions can create disease causing chemistry into our systems. For example, you may be familiar with how stress might contribute to ulcers or high blood pressure. We suggest that negative emotions may be a major cause of pain too. We have seen evidence of this repeatedly as pain subsides once negative emotions have been addressed with EFT.

EFT for Weight Loss and Quitting Smoking

This is simply the missing link of so many other programmes. EFT provides two remarkable benefits for weight loss and quitting smoking that sets it apart from other methods:

Benefit # 1 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Your Immediate Cravings: Using EFT for 1 or 2 minutes can arrest your cravings in an estimated 80 % of the cases. Thus, you may no longer need to “eat when you are not hungry” or “crave a cigarette when you have quit”. This feature surprises most newcomers.

Benefit #2 – EFT Can Reduce or Eliminate Emotional Overeating or Negative Emotions like Anxiety once you have quit smoking: If you have been using food to “tranquilize” years of past emotional hurts, then you may find EFT to be your best friend. EFT can bring you more emotional peace which, in turn, can lead to more sensible eating habits. This emotional contributor, which EFT is designed to address, is the missing piece in most weight loss and quit smoking programs.
