‘The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system’  -  Gary Craig

• EFT views our emotional reactions as a direct result of disturbances within the energy system.
• The first indication of an emotion is a change in the body’s energetic and electrical state
• Once the energetic disturbance is released, memories cease to hold the original intensity, enabling negative feelings to be resolved quickly

HOW DOES IT WORK

Our body is controlled by electrical impulses; this can be clearly seen when you look at a heart or brain wave monitor.   We have what are known as MERIDIANS which are an intricate network of energy pathways flowing and channeling energy throughout our body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine maintains that physical vitality and peace of mind are reliant upon the clear and even flow of these invisible energies.   If disturbed, disease or emotional problems may result.   Therapies such as Acupuncture and Acupressure directly stimulate, balance or unblock the meridian channels to relieve physical illness and promote psychological health.

There are 14 major meridians that form an interconnected circuit  –  12 of these pass through the main organs of the body.   Identical sets of meridians are found on each side of the body.   The two remaining meridians control and modify the supply of energy within the entire circuit.

The two end points of each meridian channel appear close to the surface of the skin.   Spaced along each meridian, there are key points, which act as amplifiers or gateways.   These are commonly known as acupuncture or acupressure points.   EFT uses the end points of each meridian.   Many problems can be alleviated by tapping on these end points.   It is completely safe, effective and, once taught, can easily be using by the client at any stage.

ENERGETIC PATTERNS

The energy that flows through our body is unlike our physical energy  –  it is our own consciousness.   Our energy is an integral part of our make-up.   It is a balancing and regulating factor for the entire system.

Repetitive emotional reactions can be seen as an energetic pattern that becomes imprinted on our psyche, causing us to react in a similar way repeatedly.   This may explain why so many people become stuck in certain emotional responses or modes of behaviour.

Phobias, fears and anxieties are good examples of this.   Phobias can be likened to a ‘stuck record’ response that continually repeats itself.   Rationally we know that a spider across the other side of the room will not harm us.   Statistically, the chances of us being in an aeroplane crash are relatively small.   We realize most of our fears are irrational, unfounded or unlikely to happen, yet the emotional intensity is just as strong.
