EFT Overview
If you read this publication you
are probably a searcher. Chances are you’ve thrown loads of time and
money at your health or life issues and received very little help.
You know intuitively there must be another way, another approach,
perhaps a deeper cause that you aren't addressing.
Emotional Freedom Techniques, or
EFT, is a powerful tool that may provide the help you need.
Invented by Stanford engineer Gary Craig and based on impressive new
discoveries regarding the body's subtle energies, the technique
targets and neutralizes the emotional distress that gets in the way
of our lives. With EFT you can reduce the effects of stress,
anxiety, anger, panic attacks, phobias, past traumas--and even
things like chronic pain or an actual disease process, because it
turns out that our emotional state can have a huge effect on our
physical body.
The process is usually fast,
painless, and permanent. It's not only painless physically, it's
painless mentally. You don't have to find out why you've got
the problem; you don't have to be brave and “face your fear”; you
don't have to cry a river over it. The symptoms just disappear! You
do remember that you had a problem, but you usually don't remember
why it was such a big deal.
How does EFT work? Probably the
closest analogy to EFT is acupuncture, which uses needles to
stimulate points on energy meridians, or imaginary lines, along the
body for physical healing and pain relief. Traditionally,
acupuncture has not been used for emotional or psychological issues.
This is where EFT comes in--and the needles leave. EFT uses some of
the same points along some of the same meridians. Instead of needles
you use your fingers to gently tap and stimulate the points while
focusing on a problem. Many issues can be resolved in only one
session. You can learn the simple technique for use on yourself
anytime, anywhere, so you can take control of your life at any
moment.
Are you skeptical? You don't need
to believe in EFT for it to work. The best way to for you to form a
useful opinion about this remarkable new technique is to try it. You

Imagine what you might do if you
dropped your fears and anxieties. Could you try new things you've
been avoiding out of sheer terror? Could you make more sales calls,
improve your golf score, fly on a plane, get in an elevator, or ask
your boss for a raise? For these issues and many more, the answer is
a resounding yes!
