EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques
 

"EFT often works where nothing else has.” - Gary Craig, EFT Founder


Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT - also called Meridian Therapies or Meridian Tapping - is an amazingly effective healing method, with clinical proof that it can eliminate negative emotions and beliefs and self-judgment, physical and emotional pain, bad habits, past trauma and abuse, anxiety, fears and phobias, migraines, and often even helps to heal physical injuries and illnesses.

EFT uses healing affirmations along with specific acupressure points to release unwanted patterns from the mind and body.

EFT may be used to treat any difficulty, pain, negative pattern, conflict, block, painful memory, health problem, or relationship issue… or to remove obstacles in achieving personal, performance, or spiritual goals.


For successful EFT we need look into every specific feeling, belief and memory about each issue. You may begin with the most obvious feeling or symptom, then work through all the various aspects.

Sometimes pain, headaches or surface emotions can be cleared very quickly and EFT is known for its One Minute Miracles. But these tend to be rare and if the first few tapping rounds don’t seem to be working it’s important go for more… with persistence and exploration.

To get the most from EFT one needs to explore each issue thoroughly, with an intuitive and creative attitude.


This method is easy to learn and easy to use for oneself, and there are many trained practitioners around the world who often work effectively even over the phone.

It’s important to learn to do EFT correctly from studying a book or watching a full length video or from an experienced person, rather than from a little YouTube blog.

An excellent book is, “Discover the Power of Meridian Tapping“ by Patricia Carrington.


Here are two sites with basic explanations and instructions:

Children like EFT because it helps them feel better fast, and it even works for infants and animals using yourself as surrogate. This often convinces skeptics since there can be no placebo effect with them.

Although EFT may sound too good to be true, literally millions of people around the world now attest that in their own personal and professional experience it is… true.

Xan ty for the information!! Before the site went down I had read another thread where you mentioned this technique and I searched online for more information. I have been using the tapping for several weeks now and I am slowly seeing progress. Thanks again for opening a new door for me!!

Problem with affirmations
 

I found it very interesting and useful, but I have a doubt related to a kind of affirmation.

For example, if you say "I choose to feel that Mary loves me" as the example given, couldn't you be fooling yourself? What if Mary actually doesn't feel the same for you? Wouldn't your feeling be "unreal"?

I see the point of avoiding manipulation, as it would be stated on affirmations such as "I choose Mary to love me" (as another example given on the explanation of the technique), but wouldn't "I choose to feel that Mary loves me" be denying the truth, if the truth is that she doesn't love you?

Thank you for sharing, this might be really useful in order to build up our self-asteem and have healthier relationships! :smile:

yes, I would tap on something like 'I choose to feel loved' or 'I choose to open to more love'

Putting someone else's name anywhere might bring up even more tail eneders

Thanks for sharing that, Xan. :hug3:
I'm going to look more into it & muscle testing.

I plan to use eft to heal myself a great deal. I need some dental care first.. sadly eft can be useful for almost everything except that =/

So far it seems EFT can't put fillings in your teeth :tongue: but if you have any fear or other issues about dental work EFT is great for releasing those, and it can promote gum healing and so forth.


Xan

so I am starting to read this book over again. well I read almost all of it, but didn't finish it and it's been a year or so, so thought I ought to start over..
anyways, it's called Instant Emotional Healing.

but I was just wondering what your personal advice would be, on the approach you'd take if you were me.. there are many things from my youth and past and present that upset me, I think that the first thing that happened to me wounded me pretty deeply, so I've let every thing after hurt and stick with me more than it should have.. so there's a lot of things that I want to address in that regard.. and many qualities I possess that have taken a tone too negative and excessive.. well not just that (I'm speaking of things like being overly critical) but also things like ocd and arachnophobia and other things relating to anxiety and socialness and so on... Ok lol, so I was going to go about it as first writing down a timeline of events that I feel have adversely effected me.. and tapping for those things.. then I guess after that tapping more about my personal issues like the specific ocd n stuff? I think that tapping about the past will make some of these things dissipate at least a bit right? well that was my half-hatched plan.. as you can see that's why I am asking for your opinion too. thanks and hope this was easy enough to understand lol I know my thoughts are a bit cattywompus.. thank you Xan!

ok thank you Xan :tongue: I don't guess I have movie memories of much when I was younger but I guess I do have more memories of a couple incidents when I was older. thanks again :smile:

Xan,

Thanks for info! I cannot wait to try it.

Do you think it would help to quit smoking?

Btw, I always enjoy reading your posts :0)

Thanks scorpiowitch... :smile:

Yes, EFT is used for quitting smoking. Here are some case stories and articles about that.

:) sometimes I use this on myself.. never had a name to reference it for others :D thank you, and I'll try to incorperate it into my healing more.

must bump :sunny:

These are the basic 8 points to memorize and tap...find out how to do it by watching a short youtube or 2....what to say, how many taps....it becomes second nature very soon if you have some stress or emotional upset. :smile:

Anyone doing the tapping on the points on the above points and saying the words?
I really am amazed at how it helps me.

Tap at least 5 xs on each point - saying, "Even tho i feel ashamed because of
what I said (picture the scene) - I deeply and profoundly accept myself."

After awhile you just think of the situation and say the sentence..."I deeply..."
You may have to do this 5 xs day as a thought comes into your mind that makes you cringe.
Watch and see how either those thoughts decrease or when they do come in your head -
your icky feeling is a 1 instead of a 10. Whew. :smile:

Do you have any favorite people to watch on Youtube that does EFT?

The whole procedure in one image:

The EFT founder has developed an even more effective method called Optimal EFT.

It calls on The Unseen Therapist, a powerful spiritual healing presence.

There is a free e-book here: https://www.emofree.com/

Hey Xan, so wonderful to see you here! I will check out that link, thank you. I hope you are well



Miss Hepburn thank you for the great idea and all the images and information you all shared in here


EFT is so amazing. I think I can get myself to use it more now again as my life is almost stabilizing.. I mean I use it here and there but not every day. It'll be fun to check out the new ebook and try that.

I have dealt with a lot and doubt I could make it through without EFT..

.

So glad to hear you are making it through, Sapphire.

:love7:

Oh, so there's an advanced version. Thanks again for sharing, Xan :)

Has anybody tried it? How was your experience?
