Alternative Health and Emotional Freedom With EFT
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig.
Since its development, EFT has become widely used throughout the world.
Physicians, Psychiatrists, Personal Coaches, Professional Athletes, and lay-people alike, have found practical applications for EFT, and have achieved remarkable results - ranging from health benefits to financial gains.
EFT is a safe and simple technique with many uses and applications; and, best of all, anyone can learn EFT and take steps toward reclaiming their own health and life - and it doesn't have to cost anything at all.
EFT is based on the premise that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption of the body's energy systems (usually detectable in the muscles, nervous system, meridian system, or with the use of electrical monitoring equipment or bio-feedback instrumentation).
When an event, or some environmental stimulus, is experienced normally, there is no disruption of electrical functioning within the body.
If, however, the experience somehow triggers an altered response from your body, perhaps due to an unconscious fear within you, the information about the experience is disrupted as it moves through you, causing you to experience the uncomfortable effects of the stress response.
Why Would I Want to Know About EFT? The stress response is basically the starting point of most medical problems; but can it can be quickly interrupted by the use of EFT, or other similar techniques - of which there are many.
By interrupting the body's stress mechanisms, we achieve freedom from the emotions which always accompany stress - even if you have been suppressing them with activity, or consumer goods, there are always emotions associated with stress.
EFT accomplishes this interruption of the stress response by simply stimulating specific points on the surface of the skin - these points directly affect the underlying systems of the body.
By stimulating these points, the flow of energy, such as the electricity within your nervous system, can be altered and the subsequent physiological changes and experiences will be altered as well.
A physical example of this can be witnessed anytime you see someone who is about to sneeze, but attempts to stop the sneeze by placing their finger under their nose like a "fake mustache.
" What should actually be happening there is that they are pressing on an acupoint called GV-26 - an EFT point we will discuss later - which has been known for thousands of years to suppress sneezing, and even fainting, in many cases.
For that technique to be effective, you should be pressing inward just below the nose, and not up against the nose.
Covering the nostrils is about as effective for stopping a sneeze as putting your hand over your mouth is for stopping vomiting - not very effective, but kind of messy.
Using GV-26 to interrupt a sneeze is just one example of applying pressure to an acupoint in order to cause a change in a physical response to stress - an example everyone should be familiar with.
The Emotional Freedom Techniques have been used to overcome: Fears, phobias, stress, trauma, illness, allergies, food intolerance, and a number of stress-related problems.
EFT is very effective at managing and eliminating stress; and that's important considering the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has estimated that perhaps 90% of all trips to the doctor's office are due to stress-related complaints.
EFT has also been used successfully by world-class athletes in order to achieve peak performance.
EFT has applications in every aspect of human life simply because it directly affects the way we experience life.
EFT can help improve all areas of your life, including: Business, relationships, finances, academic performance, athletic performance, health, and many other areas as well.
