EFT

ABOUT EFT

In EFT the fingertips are used to tap on acupuncture points close to the surface of the body.  These places are the beginning or end points of the meridian channels that send chi energy round the body.

The tapping stimulates the flow of energy while the client focuses on a problem that needs to be eradicated.  The problem causes a blockage in the energy system.  A blockage in one meridian can filter into the other meridians causing multiple problems.  The initial blockage could have been there since birth or before and the tapping releases it and allows the energy to flow again, promoting a healing effect which relaxes and calms the client, enabling a rational perspective on a previously emotionally charged reaction .

It is very helpful with children's problems as they enjoy pressing their 'magic buttons'.  It calms and relaxes them very successfully, often removing irrational fears or phobias and undesirable behaviour.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS?

There is often a permanent change after one treatment, but if not it usually means there are more aspects to the problem that have surfaced, rather like peeling an onion; as one is removed it reveals another underneath and more treatments are needed until it has faded into nothing or it just doesn't seem to bother you any more.

HOW CAN EFT HELP ME?

EFT addresses so many things, such as fears, phobias, guilt, stress, anger, trauma, abuse, addictions, compulsions, depression, panic attacks, insomnia, cravings, allergies, lack of self-worth, dyslexia, and helps heal serious diseases, to name but a few.  It removes the negative and replaces it with the positive.

EFT can help improve a sport, increase abundance, improve your life and attitudes towards others and yourself.  We use it for increasing success, health, wealth and happiness.  Grief, loss and the emotional pain of trauma can be eased so you can resume normal life more quickly.  You don't forget the incident or person, but you do lose the emotional pain that accompanies the memory.

WILL I NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN MYSELF?

The change may happen so quickly that you find it hard to believe that the emotional pain is no longer there.  You may think it is because you have been distracted by the tapping.  It is not that.  The problem has possibly gone.  You may feel instantly different or you may have a delayed reaction and notice the difference later that day or a couple of days later.  However, it doesn't work for everyone all the time, but I am so confident that you will see a difference that I offer a money back guarantee on the first session.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF IT HAS WORKED?

I ask you to give a score for the intensity of the feeling and we watch as it changes after each round of tapping, but you may see the difference as feeling lighter, as a weight lifted off you, as a light shining through the darkness, or the emotional feeling becoming blurred or misty.  As we tap, colour may return to the face, muscles relax, a smile appears, eyes look brighter, and a sigh is a really good sign of releasing the blockage.

CONTACT OR DISTANT TREATMENTS

EFT can be done with you face-to-face, on the phone or distantly with a photograph or a surrogate.  So it can be done on anyone too ill to be touched, the infirm, those in a coma, on a baby or young child.  EFT can also work on animals using a surrogate.  It has been used to treat plants as well.

EFT is easy to learn and if you wish to use my Reminder Sheet please do.  When you come to my therapy room or if I come to you, I show you where to tap and tap along with you.  When it is done over the phone it is useful to know where the tapping points are beforehand.

EFT FOR CHILDREN

This has been taken from a page on Gary Craig's website "http://www.emofree.com"; Gary says 'It's a'must' EFT procedure for children.  It has been slightly adapted from the original.

Gary says;

'Properly done, this idea will launch our children into an adulthood filled with high levels of inner peace and self-confidence.  If every child were given these benefits our eventual opportunities for world peace would far exceed those promised by our military… War and threats are not needed for those who truly have personal peace.

THE BASIC IDEA.  (very simple)

Every night, while children are being tucked into bed the adult asks,  'Can you tell me about your good and bad thoughts as well as the good and bad things that happened to you today?'  Then, as the events are being told, (both good and bad), the adult lightly and lovingly either taps or gently rubs the EFT points.

EXPECTED RESULTS

As the child tells the story s/he is clearly tuned in to the problem.  Thus tapping the EFT points is likely to resolve or lighten the impact on the child.

Some examples of the 'bad' things may be:

• Daddy scared me when he yelled at me.
• I saw a monster on TV eating people.
• My teacher thinks I'm not very clever.
• I can't run as fast as Jimmy.
• Donna is prettier than me.
• The priest said I have to be good or God won't love me.

There are, of course, thousands of other examples that establish themselves as uninvited guests in children's psyches.  Most of them are fictions, and arguably have a far greater impact on how a child's life unfolds than does their education.

Alert parent/guardians have an obvious opportunity to ward off these 'self-confidence suckers' on a daily basis.  Further, the process can be very nurturing for both adults and children, because most children love to be touched (tapped, rubbed) in loving ways.  As you are loving your children in this way, you can ask them more questions about 'What happened today' and get even deeper into the issues.  Also, you can offer reframes, (alternative thinking, turning one way of looking at something into something much better), while doing EFT, than if you were just bringing them up in a normal conversation.

This whole process is useful for pre-verbal infants.  Even though infants are not able to tell you what is bothering them, the mere fact that they are crying or exhibiting other signs of distress tells parents/guardians that something, (e.g.  a fear, trauma or physical discomfort) needs to be resolved.  During these times of distress the infant is 'tuned into' the problem and thus primed for EFT.  The addition of EFT tapping to the usual soothing sounds and language is likely to pay major long term dividends.

You may have noticed that I didn't include the EFT Set Up phrasing.  It would be useful to fit it in although children seem to be less in need of it than adults.  When adding it in you may wish to use the language below: (Children light up when saying it).

Even though I have this ………………I'm still a great /cool/ amazing/ kid.

As mentioned earlier it is useful to tap the EFT points when the child is talking about their 'good' thoughts and happenings for the day.  Properly done, the parental EFTing can add a soothing element to the discussion.  Further, even though the child is discussing something positive, there is often a comparing negative behind it.

For example, a child says, My teacher complimented me today in front of the whole class'

….the comparing negative behind it might be…

but sometimes she tells children off or ignores or them and I am afraid that will happen to me.

In this case, even though the tapping is done on the 'good' statement by the teacher, it is also likely to reduce the fear involved in the comparing negative.  Thus, applying EFT to both the good and the bad items is likely to provide substantial benefits across the board.'

DISTANT EFT

For distant treatments go to the Allergy Healing section, print out the Consultation sheet and supply me with as much information as you can.

I am an advanced practitioner and my speciality is using EFT to eliminate allergies.  I can work with you personally and I do a lot of treatments distantly.  All I need is your photograph, your date of birth and address and I need to be in contact with you by phone, text or email.  I can work with anyone anywhere in the world.

I am willing to come to you if you are too disabled to come to me and you live within a reasonable distance, or if you are willing to pay my travelling expenses.

TALKS AND DEMONSTRATIONS

For a donation I offer talks and demonstrations about EFT.

I am willing to travel if my expenses are paid.

TRAINING COURSES — LEARN EFT FOR YOURSELF

The Association of Meridian Therapies Training courses are available with me, starting with an Introductory Day or Half Day Workshop. This is followed by a Practitioner's Training Workshop where you will be able to gain a certificate that enables you to use EFT in your practice and on other people in general. You need to complete an exam and client studies and are expected to have a lot of practise. Following that is an Advanced Practitioner's Training. These trainings are held in Letchworth in my beautiful pine Healing space or in my Therapy space in Worthing . You receive manuals for each course.

I advise watching the dvds that have been produced by Gary Craig. Gary Craig, the innovator of EFT, gives you a free manual to download as well.  Just click on the link http://www.emofree.com.  However, it is always advisable to experience EFT with a practitioner first.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Since you treated me for my grape sugar allergy with EFT I've hardly drunk any wine.  I'm saving £125 a month!  Graham, Sussex

Thank you so much for relieving me of Acne Rosacea with EFT.  My face is clear now and I don't have to wear make up to cover it.  Helen, Sussex.

My extreme fear of spiders has prevented me from living in a cottage in the country all my life.  Now I am free to do so if I wish.  Thank you so much.  Ian, Sussex

I came to you to lose weight, but in one session we worked on 'dominant mother' and 'anger at work' because they were bigger issues and as a result of resolving those, the weight just dropped away on its own.  Jenny, Sussex

Some other examples from my own practice are:

Clients with relationship issues found the relationship more harmonious after EFT, even with only one partner doing the tapping.

Dyslexics with a fear of reading out loud, who became confused and stumbled over words, became able to read calmly and more easily to others.

Clients with sciatic pain who had EFT after a massage found the pain reduced considerably more with EFT than with the massage and those who integrated EFT in the massage were amazed at how different they felt afterwards.

HOW EFT HAS HELPED ME

I learnt Emotional Freedom Techniques from Gary Craig's free manual and went on to do the first and advanced exams and had a lot of practice, on others and myself.  I watched all the training DVDs and still continue to do so.  I went to see Gary practise EFT on people with serious diseases at the 3 day conference in Manchester in 2005.  I went with an EFT colleague of mine, Sarah Holland.  She specialises in helping pregnant women with fertility and pre-birth fears and has some wonderful success stories on her website http://www.sarah-holland.co.uk.  After trying for a family herself she at last succeeded in becoming pregnant and now has a healthy boy.

I have suffered from migraine for many years and used to have a migraine every day, controlled by quickly catching it before it got too bad, with Imigran.  However, I have eradicated scores of triggers for migraine, such as flickering lights, smoke, loud noise and certain foods very successfully with EFT and my life is so much better now.  I have released several emotional issues from past relationships with parents, partners, issues at work and education.  I am more confident, have more faith in myself than I ever did before EFT.  I can sincerely say that EFT is the most exciting therapy I have come across and I use it every day.

In 2008 I improved my eyesight with EFT so much that I no longer need to wear distance or reading glasses.  I am now an AMT (Association of Meridian Therapies) Trainer. I trained in 2008 with Sandra Hillawi http://www.passionforhealth.com
