EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques™.
The premise of EFT is that, unlike Western
medicine’s focus on our bodies as a chemical
system, our bodies also have an energy system.
The cause of all negative emotions is a
disruption or blockage in that energy system.
These blocks include fears, phobias, anger,
grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, worry, guilt
and other restricting emotions that also
contribute to physical problems. When you clear
the disruption or blockage using EFT, you have
physical and emotional freedom.
How EFT evolved is that one day, Dr. Roger
Callahan, a prominent psychologist, was treating
a female patient for a water phobia. She had had
this fear all her life. After a year and a half,
Dr. Callahan wasn’t making much headway. He
decided to try some new ideas he had been
studying. He had his patient tap under her eyes
-- an energy meridian point for the stomach.
When she did this, he was astonished to find her
fear of water completely gone in less than two
minutes. Her water phobia went away and never
returned.
Gary Craig, a Stanford University graduate and
engineer with a lifelong passion for studying
self-development techniques, was a student of
Dr. Callahan’s. Craig developed the concept of
EFT, a simpler algorithm. He surmised that
instead of diagnosing an issue and “prescribing”
a specific energy meridian point to tap, do a
“complete overhaul” by doing a round of tapping
on the body’s major energy meridian points. That
way, a diagnosis wasn’t needed.
Using an automobile for an analogy, instead of
requiring a computer or other instruments to
diagnose the trouble with the car engine, do a
quick, complete overhaul. Doing a round of EFT
only takes minutes. A complete tune-up works
wonders to balance your body’s energy.
Our bodies are electrical in nature. Your
body constantly gets electrochemical messages to
keep it informed about what’s going on. Doctors
use instruments to record electrical activities
in your body. There’s the electroencephalograph
(EEG) to check the electrical activity of the
brain. The electrocardiograph (EKG) records the
electrical activity of the heart.
Several thousand years ago, the Chinese
discovered a complex system of energy circuits,
called energy meridians, running throughout the
body. Meridians are the centerpiece of Eastern
medicine and health practices. Recently, Western
medicine has started to pay attention to energy
flows and their effect on mental and physical
health. EFT uses these energy meridians to clear
energy blockages in your body, contributing to
physical and emotional relief.
