revolutionary technique achieves outstanding results in resolving the
following: Negative emotions Phobias Current or past traumatic experiences Addictions and addictive cravings Physical Discomfort Negative beliefs Life stresses |
How EFT works Gary Craig has developed one
comprehensive meridian sequence which is used for all emotional and physical
problems. Instead of 10 to 15 different patterns used for specific problems
(a specific past trauma), one pattern works for everything. Clients use their
fingers to tap out a simple 9 point pattern on the body as they focus on the
problem and repeat a reminder phrase. The use of tapping with the fingertips
instead of inserting needles is sometimes described as “acupuncture without
the needles.” The EFT basic recipe takes
about two minutes to apply. Success is measured by levels of physical and
emotional discomfort on a scale of 0 to 10, 0 is neutral and 10 is extreme.
One round of the sequence is often effective in reducing emotional and
physical distress immediately. However, several rounds of the basic routine
may be necessary for the elimination of resistant discomfort. Chronic
problems require persistence, tapping every day if necessary. After the initial round of
tapping, lingering anxiety may be closely connected to a past trauma, a
distorted belief or repressed anger. Discovering these different aspects
associated with the presenting problem and applying the recipe to these
issues yields a measurable decrease in the client's distress. Within 30
minutes most presenting problems are reduced or eliminated with lasting
effectiveness. An example of success might be that a client is able to think
about or experience a disturbing situation without a negative emotional or
physical reaction. Psychological reversal
prohibits the body-mind system from eliminating a symptom. It is a way the
body consciousness resists change by holding on to the current symptom. When
psychological reversal is present, it is overcome by touching a point and
stating aloud: "Even though I have a fear of spiders, I deeply and completely
accept myself." EFT is not only effective in eliminating negative symptoms, it
improves performance and confidence. Athletes, theatrical performers,
musicians and others are using it to accomplish their best. While tapping and focusing on a desired outcome or
affirmation, a person rehearses entering the zone of peak
performance—focused, confident, open and energized. Overview Theoretical foundation Sandra Miniere |
