What is Emotional Freedom Techniques and Tapping (EFT)

Written by Reeta Luthra - http://reetaluthra.com

Our bodies are made of energy and we all have an energy system that runs through us. Chakra, Chi, Life Force... there are many names for it. During a shock, upset or period of stress, the energies can become disrupted.

EFT taps into this disruption and helps with emotional realignment. If you have ever been frustrated at how rational thinking just doesn't help you deal with something, EFT will probably do the trick for you.

My personal approach draws heavily upon the core principles of EFT and combines these seamlessly with the other methods listed on this page. The core principles of EFT were developed by Gary Craig from TFT Therapy. To learn Gary's original principles, please visit www.emofree.com. TFT in turn draws its principles from even earlier meridian techniques that can be traced back to early Chinese and Indian principles. EFT is also referred to as Meridian Tapping by some people. 

Doing EFT (or Tapping)

EFT involves tapping on a series of meridian points on the face and upper body whilst in tune with the problem. Depending on the issue, relief can occur within the same session. Complex, intertwined issues need several sessions over a number of weeks.

Benefits of EFT Tapping

• Easy to learn & apply
• Completely natural and non-invasive (no needles!)
• Discreet & powerful
• Professionally applied, it can bring relief to a range of complex issues. I find it an indispensible tool that allows phobias, weight issues, eating disorders, allergies, addictions, negativity and many other issues to be addressed in short periods of time. It is even used with great success to control the symptoms of serious illnesses such as diabetes and lupus.*

If you have ever...
- Tapped your fingers on a desk in a moment of stress
- Tapped the side of your head with a pencil while you're concentrating
- Noticed how automatic, almost mandatory, these actions are

Then, you have already experienced your body's subtle prompting to realign energy.
