What is EFT?
"EFT is a simple, powerful process that can profoundly influence gene activity, health and behaviour."
Bruce Lipton, PhD - Author "The Biology of Belief"
EFT is based on a discovery regarding the body's subtle energies. It is often described as an emotional version of acupuncture, without the needles!
Instead, we stimulate well established energy meridian points on the body by tapping on them with our fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and can be done anywhere.
EFT was created by Gary Craig, an American engineer graduate from Stanford university. Cary learned Thought Field Therapy (TFT) from Dr. Roger Callahan in the 90's; following which he developed EFT in order to simplify the detailed and complicated TFT algorithms. In so doing, he made the process universally applicable and accessible. Gary is also Certified Master Practitioner in NLP.
Gary launched the technique with the EFT Discovery Statement which says that
"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."
Because our physical pains and diseases often appear to be connected with our emotions, through the Mind:Body connection, Gary Craig also states that
"Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases."
This basic, common sense approach has its roots in time-honoured Eastern discoveries around for over 5,000 years, and in the 1920's when Albert Einstein told us that everything, including our bodies, is composed of energy.
EFT can be applied to just about everything; which is one of the most astonishing things about it. EFT is not perfect; and it doesn't achieve 100% improvement; but it can work well especially when nothing else does - and the results are sometimes spectacular.
