Emotional freedom technique (EFT) was created by Gary Craig in the 1990s and it is still
undergoing development. EFT has its origins in Thought Form Therapy and acupressure.
As with acupuncture, Shiatsu, Reiki, Reflexology, and many other natural healing methods,
EFT is based on the principle that energy flows around our bodies and that a disruption to this
energy flow can cause us problems, either mentally, emotionally or physically.
Each of the aforementioned approaches uses a slightly different method to stimulate the free flow of energy:
acupuncture uses needles, shiatsu uses pressure along the meridians (energy pathways),
Reiki uses the energy itself to gently dissolve any blockages and reflexology uses pressure
to the reflex points in the hands and the feet.
The underlying principle of EFT is that:
'all negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the bodies energy system'
Gary Craig (2002)

What does an EFT session involve?
|
|
|
EFT addresses these energy disruptions by tapping on specific points on the body
(mainly the face and hands). The client is asked to concentrate on the issue causing
distress while guided through the simple tapping sequence.
Each aspect of the issue is addressed in turn until the client feels emotionally
neutral when thinking about the issue – they have gained Emotional Freedom!
