Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Technique EFT is a fairly new treatment whose growth rate so far exceeds any other therapy on the market and when combined with hypnotherapy is a powerful combination. EFT is remarkably effective because it does one thing - and it does it very well! - it dissolves negative feelings. It does this, quite simply, by dealing with emotion at the source - an energy disturbance in the body. It is now known that certain pressure points on the body are connected with various emotional states; when blocked they give rise to negative emotions, when these points are cleared in relation to a particular problem positive emotions are the result. EFT is a meridian based technique that has been adapted from Thought Field Therapy, EFT'S founder Gary Craig wanted to bring the effectiveness of TFT to the puplic at large. He did this by taking all the points used in TFT and incorporating it them into one catch all system that enables people to self administer EFT. How is EFT applied? By tuning into the painful memory, stressful thought or physical sensation and tapping specific points on the meridians stuck energy releases and the feelings begin to clear. When we clear negative thoughts and uncomfortable feelings what we are frequently left with is increased mental clarity and a greater sense of confidence and peace. EFT can produce significant relief with the following... Relationships Romantic, friends, family and work colleagues - do the same conflicts or sense of unease crop up over and over again? Stress Is stress beginning to produce symptoms such as physical aches and pains, digestive problems, irritability, insomnia, headaches or simply feeling as if you cannot cope? Weight Loss Do you know what you need to do to lose weight but find it difficult to do, or stick to? Traumatic or painful memories Do you feel haunted by past events? Phobias and Fears Lifts, confined spaces, spiders etc. Perhaps fear of public speaking or of performing certain tasks? Personal Development EFT can be used on any area of this you are perhaps struggling with or as an effective tool for ongoing self development.
	The Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is the psychological acupressure technique I routinely use in my practice and most highly recommend to optimize your emotional health. Although it is still often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing - no matter how devoted you are to the proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body's ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way.
	EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the invasiveness of needles. Instead, simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem - whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc. -- and voice positive affirmations.
	This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to clear the short-circuit - the emotional block -- from your body's bioenergy system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance, which is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease.

	Reiki energy is a subtle energy. It is different than electricity or chemical energy or other kinds of physical energy. Reiki energy comes from the Higher Power, which exists on a higher dimension than the physical world we are familiar with. When viewed clairvoyantly, Reiki energy appears to come down from above and to enter the top of the practitioners head after which if flows through the body and out the hands. It appears to flow this way because of our perspective. However, the true source of Reiki energy is within ourselves. This does not mean that we use our personal energy when we do Reiki, but that the energy is coming from a transindental part of ourselves that is connected to an infinite supply of healing energy.
	In a standard treatment Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The whole treatment usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.
	What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies somewhat from person to person. However, feelings of deep relaxation are usually felt by all. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds the them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook
	Reiki has had a positive affect on all forms of illness and negative conditions. This includes minor things like head or stomach aches, bee stings, colds, flu, tension and anxiety as well as serious illness like heart disease, cancer, leukemia, etc. The side effects of regular medical treatments have also been reduced or eliminated. This includes the negative effects of chemotherapy, post operative pain and depression as well as improving the healing rate and reducing the time needed to stay in the hospital. Reiki always helps and in some cases people have experienced complete healings which have been confirmed by medical tests before and after the Reiki treatments. However, while some have experienced miracles, they cannot be guaranteed. Stress reduction with some improvement in ones physical and psychological condition are what most experience.
