Emotional Freedom Technique -
(EFT)
Where emotional release brings physical

Tapping
What is
EFT?
Simply stated, EFT is an emotional version of
acupuncture. Instead of using needles, however, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your
body by tapping them with your fingertips. Thus the process is easy for you to memorize and is portable so you
can do it anywhere. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which says...
"The cause of all negative emotions is a
disruption in the body's energy system."
This common sense
approach draws its power from (1) time-honored Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years and
(2) Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy.
These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing Practices and that is why EFT often works where nothing
else will. It's not that EFT is so stunning. Rather, it is because conventional healing methods have simply
overlooked the obvious. You will see that clearly as you allow EFT to bring freedom into your life where you
thought none was possible.
EFT is a way of bringing ourselves back into balance. It involves tapping on a series of
acupuncture points located along energy meridians within the body.
What Does it Do?
Imagine experiencing emotional distress - anger, sadness, fear, anxiety - but finding
rapid relief in minutes - that's what EFT does.
Is it a New Age
Process?
EFT is a new approach to utilizing the truth of
ancient knowledge. It is based on the meridian system which was realized in China about 5000
years ago and on which acupuncture is based. Both Chinese Medicine and acupuncture state that energy flows
along meridians of the body and when the energy becomes blocked, then people become sick. Negative emotions
or distress cause the energies to become blocked and EFT unblocks it - it is really that
simple!
Why Is It Important?
1. It is
non-invasive! (no one has to do something to you.)
2. It is easy to learn! (I teach my life coaching clients on the
phone.)
3. It is empowering! (you are in control at all times)
4. It is powerful! (it works!)
5. It can be done anywhere and
anytime!
Who Discovered It?
We are indebted to those who discovered the energy meridians. Roger Callahan took this
discovery and came up with a distinct tapping sequence for various emotional distresses - migraine, phobia,
anxiety - and Gary Craig built on Callahan's work and simplified it into one tapping sequence for all
emotions.
ALL TAPPING YOU DO IS GOOD FOR YOU.
Any tapping you do stimulates the meridians, relaxes you, calms you and makes you feel a little
better, even if you get totally the wrong opening affirmation and the original problem has not yet
shifted.
Just try again with a different start up phrase, or think about what the truth about the problem
might be.
