WHAT IS EFT?
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) was developed my Gary Craig (emofree.com) in 1995 expanding the original form of energy therapy (Though Field Therapy 1985). Gary writes: “EFT is a new discovery that has provided thousand with relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues. Simple stated, it is a unique version of acupuncture except you don’t use needles. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips.”
The meridian points are the subtle energy systems discovered by the Chinese 5,000 years ago. There are 12 major energy meridians in the body which run from the top of your head, down to your toes and fingertips. These meridians are channels that carry energy throughout the body. Negative emotions can disrupt the body’s energy system, resulting in a blockage (like a kink in a hose). Most of our negative emotions are major contributors to physical pans, disease and psychological problems. EFT unblocks and shifts the body’s energy in a quick and highly effective way.
GETTING YOUR ENERGY MOVING
Before starting EFT, it is a good idea to get your energy moving.
Drink a glass of water and say,“I am filled with love and gratitude.” This statement has the strongest influence in changing the water molecules within us and the water we drink.
