Emotional Freedom Technique
Emotional Freedom Technique is a non invasive
meridian energy therapy. Meridian therapies are ones that work
via the body's meridian energy system. Acupuncture is a meridian
energy therapy. Emotional Freedom Technique has been described
as a psychological form of acupressure. It was developed by the
American Gary Craig in the 1990's.

What is it used on?
It is used by thousands of
therapists and self help enthusiasts worldwide to work on a vast
array of problems. These include:
How to do EFT
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
is a very simple process that involves tuning into an issue and
then tapping with gentle percussion on a sequence of acupoints
that are mainly located on the face. Other points that are used
include ones near the collar bone and under the arm. Whilst tapping
on the acupoints words are spoken to help the person tune into
their problem. The person often speaks the words aloud. This is
done in order to stop the mind straying from the problem.
In the original, classic version
of EFT, thirteen of the body's fourteen main meridians were
tapped upon. The liver meridian was commonly missed out mainly
because of its location, which was thought to be a very
sensitive area for a woman. The point is located on the chest.
More recently therapists have started to include the point. The
EFT shortened protocol involves seven of the main tapping
points.
Identifying the Issue and
Finding the Words
An excellent question to ask in
order to find the words to use to tune the person into their
issues is, "how do you know that you have this problem? There is

Advanced Courses
Deep State RePatterning is a process based
on EFT and NLP. It deals with the roots of problems and commonly
tackles ancestral, past life and issues that stem from the womb.
It can also be seen as a more gentle approach as it uses
dissociation. It is also based on inner child work.
The Different Designations in EFT
EFT Therapists often use different terms to refer
to their training in EFT. EFT Practitioners are generally those
who have trained to the level 2 standard, although people who
have not may also use this term.
Advanced EFT Practitioner often refers to those
who have trained to level 3 (but not always).
EFT Masters- there are only 29
EFT Masters in the world. The title refers to those who took
part and were acknowledge as EFT Masters by a programme set up
by the developer of EFT. This programme is no longer running.
EFT Masters were required to have worked with hundreds of
clients, pass a detailed examination process including live
demonstrations. Read More
