EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. It is a simple, yet revolutionary healing aid, based on impressive new discoveries about the energetic and electrical nature of the body. It applies to a wide variety of emotional, health and performance issues and it often works where nothing else will.
EFT is an like an emotional form of acupuncture, except that you don’t use needles. An acupuncturist sticks needles in your body at points that fall along these energy lines called ‘meridians’. These meridians are considered energy lines because they actually have an electrical element to their makeup, and because they really do run as 'lines' through the body. The meridians were first discovered 5000 years ago in China.
To this day the meridians are considered to be an integral part of the human bio-energetic system. The Chinese discovered that physical and mental issues could be positively affected when these meridians were somehow stimulated. As time went on, and with hundreds of years of study, they were able to narrow down certain actual points along those meridians which, when specifically stimulated, had an even stronger positive affect on the energy meridians, and therefore upon the body. These points are the points that inform the practice of acupuncture AND a number of these points are now used by people like you from all over the world when they practice EFT on themselves.
EFT is wonderful for many reasons, but I really like two particular things about it: 1) it can be done by anyone on their own body at any time, regarding any upset or physical pain and 2) it almost always has the intended positive effect!
I want people (my clients and loved-ones) to feel empowered in their lives. In Psychology there is this idea of Resiliency.
In Websters Resiliency is defined as:
- the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity.
- ability to recover readily from illness, depression, adversity, or the like; buoyancy.
The idea is that if someone is Resilient, then they are able to feel a certain amount of control and effectiveness in their lives. A resilient person is usually pretty content, they are hopeful, they don’t carry a lot of self-doubt within their minds and hearts. They are able to make decisions that are in their’s and other’s highest good. They are able to decipher and make distinctions between their emotions and the reality that they see in front of them. Resilient people tend to be forward-thinking and enjoy the idea that taking ‘one step at a time’ leads them eventually to the goals that they have previously enjoyed setting for themselves.
I absolutely believe that using EFT in one’s life allows a person to become a resilient person. It has done this for me. I have been using EFT now for close to three years, and the affects it has had on me are too numerous to list here. Because I was able to eliminate fears and emotional ruts that I was previously in, I was able to see and experience my own life, and life in general, with more clarity of vision.
I hope you go to Gary's EFT and download the free manual so that you can check out this simple tool. It just takes a little time to learn, and a little practice. And then, if you're like me, you'll enjoy using it whenever you need a little help!
