Growing numbers of health practitioners and therapists around the world are using and encouraging their patients to use EFT — Emotional Freedom Techniques — a simple do-it-yourself acupressure technique, for everything from migraines, allergies, and anxiety to sport performance.
According to osteopathic physician Joseph Mercola, “Suppressed emotions such as anger, fear and sadness that are not fully transformed will severely limit your ability to cope with the normal stresses of life. Most illness and disease is a result of unresolved stress. Fortunately, with EFT, we can now rapidly and effectively transform these emotions and release stress.”
Urologist Eric Robins says, “EFT is the perfect complement to conventional medicine, and I strongly recommend it for everyone.”
World-renowned endocrinologist Deepak Chopra affirms that “EFT offers great healing benefits”.
Psychiatrist Curtis Steele says that EFT is the single most effective tool he has learned in 40 years of being a therapist.
EFT’s basic premise is that the underlying cause of every negative emotion and most physical symptoms is a disruption of the body’s energy flow along the same meridians that were mapped over 4,000 years ago by Chinese physicians.
“Acupuncturists use needles to stimulate key energy acupoints,” advanced EFT practitioner Andrew Lewis says, “but in EFT we tap on these points with our fingertips.
“The tapping technique is easy to learn and, in most cases,” Lewis says, “people using it for the first time for pain, stress, phobias, physical symptoms, anxiety, sports performance problems, or other conditions report noticeable improvement within minutes.”
