EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques

What is EFT? Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:
  1. Mind Body Spirit Medicine
  2. Acupuncture (without needles - tapping)
In essence, EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture or SCA Self Care Acupuncture where one stimulates certain meridian points by tapping on them with the fingertips. This addresses Qi/Chi stagnation a cause for emotional issues (unbalanced Qi/Chi/energy in the meridians). Properly done by the client or patient, this enhances any treatment and frequently reduces the therapeutic process from months or years down to hours or minutes. And, since emotional stress can contribute to pain, cause physical ailments, as well as to Life Style Disease such as breast cancer and high blood pressure we often find that EFT provides astonishing physical relief.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a form of alternative psychotherapy, that purports to manipulate the body's energy field by tapping on acupuncture points while a specific traumatic memory is focused on, in order to alleviate a psychological problem. Critics have described the theory behind EFT as pseudoscientific and have suggested that any utility stems from its more traditional cognitive components, such as the placebo effect, distraction from negative thoughts, rather than from manipulation of meridians, and the therapeutic benefit of having someone actually listen.

EFT has been labeled pseudoscience in the Skeptical Inquirer, based on what the journal identifies as its lack of falsifiability, reliance on anecdotal evidence, aggressive promotion via the Internet and word of mouth.[9] Gary Craig, the originator of EFT, has argued that tapping anywhere on the body will manipulate "energy meridians". There are many pressure points used by acupuncturists not included in EFT methodology; it is suggested that tapping one such point may have incidental effects. Skeptics have asserted that such an argument renders EFT untestable by scientific method and it therefore needs to be categorized as a pseudoscience, however beneficial some may consider it.[9] EFT's successes are also thought to stem from "characteristics it shares with more traditional therapies", rather than manipulation of supposed "energy meridians" via tapping acupuncture points. There is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians.[10] Testing of the EFT hypothesis through the use of a placebo group produced the same positive changes in recipients as following the EFT's standard methodology.[3] A 2007 article in the Guardian suggested that the act of tapping parts of the body in a complicated sequence acts as a distraction, and therefore can appear to alleviate the root distress.[11
