The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is still a new discovery, but is quickly evolving as a common treatment in the field of Energy Psychology, which is being used by spiritualists, scientists, healers and the everyday person.
EFT is often referred to as psychological acupressure and the technique can work by helping to release the blockages that are in the energy system. These are thought to be the source of discomfort and emotional intensity. The blockages that are in a person’s energy system will challenge you emotionally and can limit the behaviours and beliefs, as well as the ability to live life in a harmoniously manner. Some of the symptoms that you may have can be both physical and emotional and include the development of addictive or compulsive behaviours, feeling depressed or anxious or having a lack of self-esteem and confidence.
However, due to the acceptance that emotional disharmony is actually a key player in the physical symptoms and a number of other diseases, which is why the techniques of EFT are being used for a number of chronic illnesses, often with a number of impressive results.
How EFT Treatment Works
EFT treatment is a technique that involves the use of the fingertips, instead of needles to tap in the energy meridians end points that are found just under the skin’s surface. This is a non-invasive treatment and will work on the ethos that making a small change is as pain free and simple as possible.
EFT actually works by clearing disruptions and eliminating the emotional response or the intensity that results. It helps to restore your emotional harmony and provide relief from any physical discomfort that is being experienced. This is achieved by focusing on the specific issue while tapping on the energy meridians end points with the fingers. The combination of being able to send the kinetic energy into the energy system, while focusing and uncovering rood causes will help to create a “straightening out” of a person’s energy system, which will eliminate the existing issue of a negative emotion or learnt response.
Utilising the EFT method takes practice, but it is something that can be self-taught. There are a number of massage therapy and health spas that now offer this technique; however it is something that can be used on a daily basis by regular people once the technique is learned.
