What is EFT?

EFT is an almost unbelievably simple concept and technique, yet it is also an incredibly powerful technique for healing when used with intuition, creativity and artistry.

It is based on the concept that all negative emotions are caused by a disruption or block in the energy system.

Let's run that one again. ALL negative emotions - guilt, sadness, doubt, anger, bitterness, rage, shame and the rest - are caused by an energy disruption!

Left untreated, those energy blocks tend to effect our health, relationships, sense of well-being and enjoyment of life. This also explains why we can't just use the power of our logical thinking minds to change our energy-driven behaviour.

A thought or memory can immediately trigger an energetic response felt as a negative emotion and we are virtually powerless to stop ourselves reacting in ways we would rather not. Have you ever had that experience of feeling like you're watching yourself carrying on, maybe shouting or ranting, and yet deep inside you're wondering why on earth you are behaving like that? It's like we've been hijacked by our own emotional energy! So we need to use something that can release the energy block and that is what EFT does so well.

The process involves recalling a thought or memory whilst tapping on energy meridian points on the head, upper body and hands which gently releases the energy blockage. What we find is that the memory is retained but the automatic link to the emotional energy is broken.

The more work we do to clear these emotional triggers, the more we are able to feel in control of our reactions, and settle into inner peace and well-being. We become emotionally free.
