"The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." -Gary Craig |
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a totally new approach to psychotherapy. It was developed by Gary Craig by modifying Thought Field Therapy and belongs to the rapidly growing field of energy psychology. It works with your body's energy system by tapping several acupuncture points with fingers while you focus on an emotional or physical distress. At first, it might sound strange to work on your body's energy system in order to heal your emotional wounds. But it makes sense when you understand that every emotion has a physiological response in the body. When you are angry, your body tenses up.You might feel tightness in the throat if you cannot express your feelings. You might feel a knot in the stomach. Sadness might bring heaviness in the chest. When you feel threatened, the heart races and palms sweat. When you are upset, you either cannot eat anything or instead, cannot stop eating or drinking. |

| YOU EXPERIENCE YOUR FEELINGS IN YOUR BODY. | |
| The problem is, these
physiological responses remain in your body when you do not express or
acknowledge your feelings fully. Imagine how many unexpressed feelings you
are carrying in your body. When you recall a sad incident in the past, you
not only remember how it was but also feel it in your body as if it is happening right now. EFT works on your body's memory by unblocking the energy flow in the major energy pathways in your body called meridians. You may have heard of or actually experienced acupuncture, a 5,000- year- old Chinese healing system. Acupuncture usually works with physical pains and ailments. EFT combines the ancient acupuncture principles with Western psychology and aims to heal emotional and mental problems by releasing a disruption in your body's energy system. |
