Based on the ancient principles of acupuncture,  EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body’s energy system, without the discomfort of needles. Unlike other energy healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction, and personal performance limits. 

EFT is based on this theory or Foundation statement. 'All negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body's energy system.'

This 21st century energy therapy was developed by Stanford graduate, Gary Craig, after studying Thought Field Therapy (TFT) under Dr Roger Callahan.

Gary discovered that stimulating the major meridians by tapping on acupuncture points on the body, while simultaneously focusing on specific issues, could lead to remarkable alterations in the body’s energy patterns. This shift of energy results in substantial freedom from emotional and physical symptoms and literally rewires energy disruptions – often eliminating them entirely.

It is still often overlooked, but emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing.

Negative emotional experiences disrupt the energy meridians that run through our body.  The physical changes we feel from those disruptions, like nausea or anxiety, become attached to the memory of that experience and affect the way we see the world…until we heal that disruption.  Through a combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing of the statements, EFT quickly clears the energy blocks and realigns the meridians with respect to negative memories, disconnects the physical discomfort that we attached to it, and quite often removes the resulting symptoms. This restores your mind and body's balance, which is essential for optimal health and healing. Most energy imbalances may be partially or completely relieved within a short time using this process.

EFT cannot take away a natural emotional response to events that happen to us during our lives; however, it can reduce the intensity leaving us with a rational response.
