Emotional Freedom At Your Fingertips ...?

One of the most important innovations in psychology for the last 20 years is about to come to the awareness of the public – Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT for short.

Based on the ancient Chinese system of body meridians, it doesn’t use needles but instead, soothes and stimulates the energy flow by lightly and gently tapping on main meridian connector points.

EFT is so simple that even a young child can learn to do it in minutes.

It is so profoundly relaxing and re-charging that even therapists of 40 years experience or more simply have to shake their heads and declare they have never seen anything like it.

EFT has such beneficial effects on physical systems and overall mind-body health that thousands of healing professionals are at this moment, training in the new meridian therapies to offer relief from insomnia, anxiety, depression, stress related illnesses, tension induced pains and aches, migraines, headaches and much, much more.

So Simple, So Easy ...

Like many profoundly useful things in this world, EFT is extremely simple. A straightforward protocol designed by Stanford Engineer Gary Craig to cover all of the most important meridian points in a single treatment lasting about five minutes ensures that users need know nothing at all about meridians or the finer points of Chinese medicine to experience profound relief right away.

What’s more, the basic EFT protocol is absolutely free and freely available to try out and for you to share with friends, loved ones and anyone else you wish to share it with.

“This is just too good to keep to ourselves,” says Gary. “Everyone should know about it and have a chance to be able to help themselves in a moment of crisis, or of desperation.”

How EFT Works

When someone is calm and relaxed, the flow of energy through the meridian system likewise is calm and steady.

Emotional upset of any kind – anger, rage, fear, panic, unhappiness, stress – affects the energy flow immediately and naturally as both are intimately linked and part of the same system. The energy flow becomes disturbed and distressed as our thoughts and emotions spiral off the calm centre state. In the early 1980’s, Dr Roger Callahan found that instead of trying to control our thoughts or emotions which is such a difficult thing, you could re-create the calm state of Even Flow by touching the meridian system instead. Once the meridian system has calmed, the mind and body cannot help but follow suit and tranquillity and balance are restored as if by magic.

The Benefits Of Acupuncture, Acupressure & Massage

Everyone who has experienced the calm and restful state that follows a good massage, or has been treated with acupuncture for example, knows that working directly with the meridian system really produces profound changes in how we feel inside.

The great advance of the new meridian therapies, of which EFT is the ambassador, is to focus the mind on a particular disturbance whilst stimulating the energy system at the same time. By thinking about your problem, you automatically target the right parts of your meridian system and without years of study, that’s something anyone can do.

Perfect For Emotional Crisis Management And First Aid

And what could be more appropriate than having something that can help you right in a middle of crisis? That is the time when your mind is absolutely focussed on the problem; in many cases such as physical pain or severe upset, it is the only thing we can think about. Whilst we are in the crisis we are in the perfect place to use EFT to target the root causes of the problem and help alleviate the symptoms and disturbances swiftly.

A Miracle Technique?

It has certainly been described in those terms, and not just once but ten thousand times, by very different people with very different problems, by professionals and simple folk alike, all around the world.

In general, at least half of those who try it for the first time experience immediate relief and relaxation; another quarter will experience this profound release with a little more practise. It doesn’t work for everyone, but even if it just manages to take the edge off an anxiety, a fear, an anger for you personally, that could be a starting point to a whole new level of happiness and health.

You can test an abbreviated online version called the Two Minute Stress Release Technique at http://www.DragonRising.com/EFT.htm right now and download the full, free EFT protocol. You can share it too with your friends and family.

As the basic protocol is freely available, I encourage you to simply try it for yourself. It has helped me immensely and I cannot rate EFT highly enough. You have absolutely nothing to lose, but you could gain the very real possibility of absolute “Emotional Freedom At Your Fingertips”.
