Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

What is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)?

EFT is a mind/body technique and is a gentle way to release negative or blocked energy within your system. The technique is based on an important discovery that a thought or memory from trauma, stress, shock, emotional pain or past programming can cause a disruption and blockages in the electromagnetic energy system of the body.

The technique gently removes the emotional charge from the memory, thought or concept, which could also be self-sabotage or blocks to success. The energy flow is then corrected and restored to a natural balance.

EFT is successful in helping with physical problems as well as emotional issues. It is recognised that a lot of physical issues have an emotional component.

EFT is often known as “emotional acupuncture” as it combines gentle tapping on key acupuncture points (on the head and upper body) whilst tuning into issues which could be emotional pain, unhappy memories, physical pain or fearful events past, present or future. When correctly done the emotional factors that contribute to the problem are released. EFT is also known as energy psychology. EFT is client lead and so the issue is presented by the client and clients are usually asked to tune into themselves before treatment to see what needs to be addressed first. There may be various aspects related to the problem that also need clearing.

The client is guided to tap on the specific points whilst the client remains seated and tunes into the problem. Issues and aspects are released gently from the body’s energy system. Some cases are complex and may require more detailed attention.

EFT is amazingly effective, quick, gentle and long-lasting. It often works when nothing else does. This technique can be applied to any problem: physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. It also works for past and present emotional pain, stress or trauma and future anxieties (eg public speaking).
