The Emotional Freedom Technique reduces and eliminates fears, anxiety, stress, traumas, pains and so much more sometimes in a matter minutes.
Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, this system of lightly tapping on certain easily accessed acupuncture points is noted for its speed and its effectiveness. The fact that it’s easy to learn makes it even more appealing. Knowing the basics of EFT can change your life in ways you’ve only dreamed.
The revolutionary concept of tapping, discovered by accident about thirty years ago by Dr. Roger Callahan, made much of conventional talk therapy obsolete. Psychotherapists spent thousands of dollars for a weekend class teaching them Callahan’s method, Thought Field Therapy, where they learned how to tap away their patients’ problems. Perhaps the most famous student of Callahan’s was not a therapist. Gary Craig is a Stanford trained engineer who streamlined Callahan’s technique. Craig made it easier to learn and more accessible to the masses. He called his tapping method the Emotional Freedom Technique.
I’ve engaged in all sorts of self-improvement, self-help, new age and metaphysical studies for decades. Discovering EFT was a major milestone for me. Here was something I could use easily and teach others to use with a very high success rate. EFT is so quick and easy to use, I find myself using it often. Instead of getting angry at the driver who cut me off in traffic, I tap. When I don’t want to make a particular phone call, I tap. If I can’t fall asleep, I tap. Work starts to get me down. I tap. Any day can be improved with tapping.
EFT requires:
No belief or belief changes. It works on skeptics and believers. In fact, every person I’ve taught EFT to started out as a skeptic.
No years in a monastery. You can learn it today in your home or wherever you are and achieve results before bedtime.
No years on a therapist’s couch. You don’t have to figure out why something bothers you. If you can feel it, you can eliminate it.
And most importantly of all, it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars.
How could it get any better than that?
Over the last ten years, I’ve answered that question. Sometimes through trial and error, sometimes purely by luck or accident and sometimes by being perseverant and observant, I found ways to improve the results I got with EFT. That’s why I wrote Super Tapping
For those who already know EFT, the technique I teach isn’t different. There aren’t any secret new acupressure points to learn or special, secret ways to tap the points. But there’s an art to doing EFT that, once learned and practiced, makes tapping so much more effective.
With all the tapping others and I have done and continue to do, I don’t think we’ve found the limits to what tapping can accomplish. In time, I believe tapping will become a lot more super than it already is. And as soon as I find out how to do it, I’ll let you know.
