EFT - Emotional Freedom Techniques

Tools for personal development

EFT is a tool developed by Gary Craig as a way of simplifying and condensing a number of ‘energy healing’ methods devised by earlier practitioners for use by therapists in this field. It differs mainly in that it is intended to generically rectify certain symptoms of internal imbalance rather than deal with specific developmental or traumatic causes. It is also well suited to ‘DIY’ practice, rather than requiring a trained therapist to be present.

Together, these factors make EFT an attractive self-help system - it is relatively simple and easy to learn, does not require ‘belief’ (although active disbelief may prevent it working), and is easy to ‘program’ for any purpose from removing or reducing physical pain to re-scripting limiting beliefs to allow the flow of abundance.

The philosophy underlying this technique involves the belief that as well as all the physical systems identified by Western medicine, the human body has a series of ‘meridians’ or energy channels flowing through it, and that these come to the surface at various specific points. This idea is based on traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture). EFT similarly holds that ‘blockages’ in the meridians can cause disease and other problems, and that tapping gently into the right locations in a particular order while reciting certain phrases designed to focus attention on a problem, can restore flow and so rectify the ‘targeted’ problem.

A majority of Westerners (at least those who have not experienced the real benefits of acupuncture) will probably dismiss this whole idea as nonsense. It is completely without any basis in the scientific world, and seems more than a little weird. Yet the fact is that EFT actually works for the overwhelming majority of people who try it, and it often works spectacularly well, especially for minor physical ailments.

HOW exactly it works is therefore not of particular importance to anyone who simply wants to benefit from the simple procedures involved.

EFT and Money

If you have read about the 'Law of Attraction' on this site or others, you will know how crucial it is that your expressed desires for financial prosperity are not cancelled out by 'automatic negative beliefs’ lurking in your subconscious mind. A number of effective tools are provided on this site to help 'rescript' such beliefs, but EFT is one such tool that is often overlooked.

Which is a shame, because for many people it is one of the most effective.

EFT homes in straight at the 'symptoms' (the apparent lack of progress towards increasing financial wealth), so it is not necessary to directly address the underlying belief system that is causing this lack of progress. All that is needed is to 'mechanically' go through certain routines a few times each day, and the subconscious mind itself is directed to seek out the causes of a self-imposed limitation, and eradicate them.

One of the best methodologies around for using EFT to clear the way to wealth has been developed by the well known internet marketer, Joe Vitale, working with EFT practitioner Brad Yates. Their ebook package, 'Money Beyond Belief' is now one of the top sellers in the field, and has a host of testimonials that show that real people are getting the results they want from the information.

The focus of "Money Beyond Belief" isn't actually just about money as such - it is about achieving the inner qualities that are consistent with a higher income, and with all aspects of an abundant life. It is about clearing away the subconscious junk connected with 'deserving', the 'work ethic', self esteem and other issues that for most people, get in the way of their quality of daily life. The rest follows naturally and automatically.
