Emotional Freedom Technique


This is often the first introduction to Energy Psychology and Meridian Energy Therapies, because its approach is so simple and straightforward to learn and yet is profoundly powerful in its effects.

Although it overturns conventional thinking about therapeutic change, the results are transformative.

Tapping or holding a sequence of acupuncture points while tuning into a problem causes blocks and distress to melt away rapidly and gently, like snow in the sunshine.

This accelerated process enables clients and therapists to work rapidly through layers of decisions and beliefs, memories and emotions to treat the root cause of dysfunction.

EFT has been proven clinically effective (over 80%) for Trauma, Abuse, Stress, Anxiety, Fears, Phobias, Depression, Grief, Addictive Cravings, Children's Issues and hundreds of physical symptoms including headaches, body pains and breathing difficulties. It is the missing piece to the healing puzzle.

 

Gary Craig, founder of EFT

I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose but you just walked into the most successful health innovation in the last 100 years. Based on impressive new discoveries regarding the body's subtle energies, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has been astonishingly successful in thousands of clinical cases. It applies to just about every emotional and physical issue you can name and often works where nothing else will.

For proof, here is a sampling of about 10% of our actual cases. They are written for you by everyday citizens, physicians and therapists: Pain Management, Addictions, Weight loss, Allergies, Children's Issues, Vision, Headaches, Panic/Anxiety, Asthma, Trauma, PTSD, Abuse, Depression, Dyslexia, Carpal Tunnel, Anger, ADD-ADHD, Fears/phobias, Eating disorders, OCD, Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Neuropathy, Fear of Flying, Claustrophobia, Agoraphobia, Anorexia/Bulimia, Sports and other Performance

Chances are you came here because you have either thrown loads of time and money at your health issues and received very little help ... OR ... you are a physician, therapist or life coach and you know your profession is missing that "vital something" that could open new doors for millions. Things just aren't working and you know intuitively there must be another way ... another approach ... perhaps a deeper cause that you aren't addressing.

If so, you came to the right place. Start with "What is EFT?" and proceed from there. You will find this a loving and gentle place. EFT'ers are a caring bunch and you will sense that in every page.

Also, anyone can use EFT and you don't need specialized schooling for it. In most cases, common sense will do. No meds or surgeries involved either. Further, we've made it easily affordable and you can get started for free.

With gratitude for your presence here,

Gary Craig
EFT Founder

P.S. This quote by Eric Robins, MD captures the essence of EFT:

"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it is for me."

- Eric Robins, MD -


What is EFT?

EFT is a new discovery that has provided thousands with relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues. Simply stated, it is a unique version of acupuncture except you don't use needles. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which says...

"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."

And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true...

"Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases."

This common sense approach draws its power from (1) time-honored Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years and (2) Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy. These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing Practices and that is why EFT often works where nothing else will. It's not that EFT is so stunning (although it may certainly appear that way to you). Rather, it is because conventional healing methods have simply overlooked the obvious. You will see that clearly as you allow EFT to bring freedom into your life where you thought none was possible.

More benefits await you...
  • You can make enormous strides by introducing EFT into your therapy process (whether you are a professional or a client). Instead of taking months or years using conventional "talk therapy", EFT often does the job for you cleanly and thoroughly in one or two sessions ... and sometimes does it in moments. We label these latter near-instant results as "one minute wonders." Do EFT properly and you will likely experience them 50% of the time.
  • Once you have seen how well EFT clears out emotional debris, your next step is to notice how physical ailments start to fade. Headaches, back pains and other discomforts tend to improve or vanish. Your vision may become clearer and everyday stress takes less toll on your system. Check out the EFT at Work section for an impressive list of both emotional and physical healings.
  • Accordingly, you can use it for just about everything. That is one of the most astonishing things about it. You use the same basic procedure for your fear of public speaking as you do for improving your golf score. You can also use it for everything from the common cold to cancer. Further, we have had success with nearly every emotional issue on the books...including fear, trauma, depression, grief and schizophrenia. That is why you can consider it the missing link in your pursuit of health and happiness. Once you truly recognize the Universal nature of EFT you will eagerly join our growing throng of enthusiasts. There is nothing like it, anywhere.

Possible EFT limitations

I'm not saying here that EFT is perfect. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will and it represents a Doorway to your new Healing High-Rise.

You will find that EFT is usually quite gentle and you can often achieve substantial relief with little or no pain. This is not true for everyone, however. Some people's issues are so intense that the mere mention of them causes emotional or physical pain. But, given time, even these are often resolved efficiently with EFT.

A small percentage of our population (best estimate is less than 3%) have serious emotional disabilities and thus newcomers to EFT are advised to exercise common sense in this regard.

 

EFT and Phobias

Most people have experienced some level of fear when they encounter such things as snakes, heights, spiders, flying or public speaking. But, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, irrational phobias interfere with daily life for 10% of American adults. A new discovery makes it possible for people with phobias to gain relief without drugs, or traumatic therapy wherein patients are required to confront what frightens them. EFT addresses phobias at a deeper level by simply balancing the well-established energy meridians (chi) that become disrupted by intense emotional reactions.

Stanford-trained engineer Gary Craig, designed EFT to improve and accelerate the psychotherapy process. According to Craig, “EFT has been enormously successful in treating phobias because it balances and clears blocks in the body’s meridians. At the same time, EFT clears any associated emotional issues. If someone is afraid of elevators because they were locked in a closet as a child, EFT will clear that association. In 70 to 80 percent of cases, the phobia clears quickly, completely and permanently.”

The EFT process involves simple fingertip tapping on key acupressure points combined with focused thought. Craig explains, “most people with phobias can have an intense reaction just thinking about their feared object or situation. Using EFT calms that reaction and averts any future reactions.”

According to the American Psychological Association, only about 25% of people with phobias seek treatment. But if left untreated, 80% of adult phobias never get resolved. Furthermore, phobic people may be more susceptible to other forms of mental illness like depression or generalized anxiety disorder. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry states that people with agoraphobia may have a greater risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

Best-selling author Dr. Joseph Mercola recommends EFT for people with anxiety disorders and phobias, which he describes as “an enormously crippling problem.” Mercola explains, “most people in this country suffer and do nothing, or they resort to drugs. Drugs do help, but it is obvious that they are no more than band-aids. Fortunately you don't have to rely on Paxil or Xanax for a solution. There are quick, simple and inexpensive solutions. EFT is one that seems to work profoundly well.”

Says Craig, “EFT is fast becoming a top treatment choice for psychologists and psychiatrists when working with phobic patients. Clinical cases evaluated over 9 years show that most patients respond to EFT and eliminate their phobias in one to three sessions as compared to a dozen sessions of conventional psychotherapy.”

Psychologist Dr. Joe Bavonese learned EFT and was impressed with the results. He offered EFT sessions to some phobic clients with whom he had previously only had partial success. One client had an intense elevator phobia that limited him in his job and on vacations.

Dr. Bavonese guided his client through EFT, focusing on his feelings of being closed in. After forty minutes of EFT, he rode the elevator several times with no phobic response whatsoever. The same feeling of being closed in was reflected in the man’s intense flying phobia and tunnel phobia, both of which cleared after this EFT session.

A recent USA Today article reported “Fear of flying cripples -- or at least burdens -- the careers of millions of Americans.” People are turning down promotions and opportunities because they require air travel and those opportunities may be going to less qualified individuals, at great cost to employers. Says Craig, “when people clear a phobia with EFT, they often discover a world of opportunity that was previously denied them because of their fear and avoidance.”

Over 225,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. It has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.
