Emotional Freedom Technique - EFT
"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it you can become it." William Arthur Ward
With its roots in Applied Kinesiology and Thought Field Therapy, EFT is a simple, non invasive meridian based technique for releasing the underlying energy that causes negative emotions. Often the first introduction to a family of Meridian Energy Therapies which work with the subtle energies that circulate within the body. The originator Gary Craig developed this remarkable technique based on the principle that an upsetting experience or problem is associated with a disturbance in the body’s energy system”.
Gary Craig’s Discovery Statement:
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system”
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, working with the same energy meridians, however, where acupuncture uses needles to stimulate and unblock the channels EFT uses a system of tapping with the fingers on 13 specific meridian points on the face, hands and upper body whilst using statements relating to and directly focussing on the issue being addressed. For example, thinking the thought that created the emotion, or focusing on the limiting belief. The process enables clients to work rapidly through layers of emotions, beliefs and memories to locate the root cause of their issues.
EFT has gained a well deserved reputation for giving rapid, long lasting relief from anxiety, stress, trauma of all descriptions, fears of flying, spiders, heights, addictions, lack of self esteem/confidence, and a whole host of other human conditions including from my own experience, the control and removal of physical pain, asthma, Meniers disease. It will often work where all else has failed and many therapists, counsellors, trainers and health professionals, claim that it has transformed the way they work.
EFT does not profess to perform miracles in the way of eradicating negative memories and issues. What it does is to remove the debilitating feelings of anguish, guilt, sorrow, anger, fear, resentment etc which may have been engulfing a person for years, thus allowing them to view the original incident with a calm, detached attitude of, “It happened, it’s over and I’m ok”, enabling them to move on, to experience life from a different, improved, often liberating perspective.

During the first session clients are taught the technique for self- empowerment, enabling each individual to take charge of their own on-going well-being. EFT is a wonderful self-help tool, which, once learned has a myriad of applications.

The Advanced Practitioner Training introduces three further and very different forms of METs, namely TAT, BSFF and ET. It also includes Advanced EFT protocols, add-ons and applications.
It represents an outstanding opportunity for the practitioners who are already firmly grounded in the priniciples of MET work with clients to experiment, to learn and to try out many different approaches and techniques for themselves and to be able to discuss how, and when to use these approaches to maximum benefit with fellow experienced professionals.
The Advanced Practitioner Training also includes more information on Kinesiology and very importantly, energetic states and clean and precise use of language, and introduces metaphor work that in conjunction with any of the MET approaches represents some of the most powerfully healing interventions known to date.
As the basics and most important core concepts of treating others with the new forms of Meridian Energy Therapies has already been established, there is no exam for the Advanced Practitioner Training. However, the trainers reserve the right to withhold or delay certification if they believe that this would be in the best interest of a participant and their clients
