About Emotional Freedom Technique in Swansea

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is one of the main modern energy therapies that comes under the umbrella of energy psychology or meridian therapies. It has its roots in 5000 year old Chinese acupuncture and is often referred to as emotional acupuncture using gentle tapping with the fingers rather than needles to stimulate the meridian or energy points. EFT can very gently release long standing and deeply rooted negative emotions  enabling  healing from virtually any physical or emotional problems very speedily. It is very easy to learn, simple to use, is non-invasive, painless, swift in action and has no known side effects.   Success rates using EFT are high and it can be combined extremely well with hypnotherapy.  It often works where nothing else will.

It was preceded in the early 1980s by Thought Field Therapy (TFT) which was developed by Roger Callahan after he unexpectedly found a way of freeing a lady called Mary from her long-standing phobia of water. When she mentioned feeling the anxiety about water in her stomach area he asked her to tap just below her eye which is the beginning of the stomach meridian or energy channel. Her phobia vanished instantly and the development and use of modern energy therapies begun.

 
In the 1990s Gary Craig simplified the tapping procedure of TFT to develop EFT. EFT is based on the theory that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption or imbalance in the body's energy system. When the energy system is out of balance unwanted emotional and physical symptoms are experienced. It can be used to gain freedom from just about anything from fears and phobias, stress, addictions, unwanted emotional issues and trauma or even finding lost objects. 

To rebalance the energy system and let go of unwanted emotions or symptoms  and restore emotional and physical wellbeing EFT combines gentle tapping on the meridian points mainly around the face and on the hand with verbalising the unwanted feelings or reactions e.g. “Even though I have this issue/emotion/physical symptom" and then saying a few words of positive self-acceptance such as “I deeply and completely love and accept myself” or “I'm OK” or “I choose to feel calm and relaxed”. These positive affirmations of self acceptance help to let go of inner conflict which can further disrupt the energy flow.  

As it's so very easy to learn you will be able to use EFT for self-treatment after your first session enabling you to feel empowered and able to take control of your life should any unwanted day-to-day challenges occur. It can be used regularly as a self-help tool anywhere or anytime and is indeed a gift for life.
