What is it?

Emotional Freedom Technique is a unique version of acupuncture except that you don't use needles.  Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping them with your fingertips.

The process is easy to memorise and is portable so you can do it anywhere.

"The cause of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body's energy system"
Gary Craig.........founder of EFT

What can be treated with EFT?

• Any painful condition such as back pain, headache, neck pain, sciatica, arthritis etc.
• Phobias - fear of height, flying, spiders etc.
• Addictions and cravings.
• Emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, exam nerves, panic attacks.

Try it for anything and everything.

The treatment

First of all, tune in to your problem and give it a number between 0 and 10. 10 being the worst.  Gently rub the "sore spot" (where you would pin a brooch or badge) while repeating - "Even though I have this... ...(headache/fear of public speaking etc)... ...I deeply and completely accept myself."

Now, using your middle and ring fingers, tap firmly about 5 - 7 times on each of the illustrated areas while repeating - "this headache" or whatever your problem is.

Next, tap at the start of the collarbone (where a tie knot would sit) to one side, while repeating affirmation.

Now, tap about 4 inches under the arm - still repeating affirmation.

Take a deep breath and check if your problem has reduced.  If the number has not gone down to zero, repeat another round of tapping.  When rubbing the sore spot this time say "Even though I still have this... ...I deeply and completely accept myself."

When tapping, state - "Remaining pain", or "remaining fear" or whatever.  Continue repeating rounds of tapping until the pain or problem has diminished.

It is always better to have a treatment from a qualified practitioner.  The two energies working together bring fast, effective results, and you will be able to relax and focus your attention on the situation.
