EFT Emotional Freedom Technique

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Smokers typically use nicotine replacement or they “go cold turkey” to quit smoking. They also typically fail. In fact the US FDA reports that 70% of smokers want to quit, but more than 84% of them are unsuccessful in their attempts. Gary Craig, Stanford trained scientist and founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) explains that, “conventional smoking cessation systems don’t work because they do not address the real reason that people smoke which is to tranquilize emotional issues like anxiety or low self esteem.”

Craig initially developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as a self-help tool for people with emotional difficulties but soon received reports from smokers who said that their craving for cigarettes subsided or disappeared while performing EFT for their emotional issues. These results didn’t surprise Craig who maintains that, “smokers are tranquilizing their emotions with tobacco and will find quitting enormously difficult until those emotional issues are resolved.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) reports that people suffering from nicotine withdrawal have increased aggression, anxiety, hostility, and anger. However, Craig doesn’t attribute these emotional responses to nicotine withdrawal. He says, “smokers become anxious and irritable when they try to quit smoking because the unresolved emotions they had been trying to suppress with cigarettes come bubbling to the surface as nicotine exits their system.”

Craig maintains that using EFT to resolve these emotions will help smokers to conquer this life threatening addiction permanently. “If emotional issues aren’t properly resolved, the smoker feels overwhelmed and eventually turns back to cigarettes to pacify the emotional pain.”

EFT is a simple technique that combines focused thought with gentle fingertip tapping on key acupressure points. Craig says, “The main cause of all negative emotions is not where psychologists have been looking. Instead, it involves the disruption of the energy pathways in the body. Once these pathways are balanced, the emotional drivers behind smoking and other addictions start to fade.”

Dr. Carol Look is a Clinical Hypnotherapist and EFT Practitioner who has helped many clients quit smoking. Dr. Look reports, “While I used hypnosis successfully for many smokers, I found that treatment using EFT gave the client more control, empowerment, and an active tool they could pull out and use whenever they wanted.”

Pat Farrell is another Clinical Hypnotherapist who prefers to use EFT for smoking cessation. One woman came to Farrell because she had quit smoking many times but had recently resumed smoking around the occasion of her wedding anniversary; a painful time since her husband had left her three years previously for a younger woman.

With EFT, Farrell helped her client collapse feelings of overwhelming sadness and betrayal as well as her immediate physical cravings for cigarettes. Farrell also addressed the woman’s habitual craving for cigarettes with her morning coffee. They worked together for about an hour and only spent three minutes on the actual cigarette craving. The rest of the time they addressed the emotional drivers fueling the woman’s need for cigarettes.

Two weeks after treatment, Farrell’s client still had no desire for a cigarette. She accomplished this without psychotherapy or nicotine replacement.

Anybody can learn to use EFT to eliminate cigarette cravings and even to quit smoking entirely. Gary Craig explains, “smokers generally expect to fail when they set out to quit. But when they use EFT, most experience an instant reduction in their cigarette craving. Their level of hope increases as their cravings decrease. If they persistently use EFT to address the emotional component of their addiction, they are likely to have a high success rate.”

If smoking cessation programs incorporated the proper use of EFT, Craig predicts that their success rate would be about between 50 and 80 percent - instead of the current 84% failure rate.

More than 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 5,000 to 10,000 download it each month. Known as The EFT Manual, it has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT website is the sixth most actively visited natural health site in the world.

San Francisco (PRWEB) — Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), announces that the procedure has helped patients recover from chronic yeast infections without drugs or adverse side effects, as reported by medical doctors and their patients.

The claim is impressive, considering that 35 percent of American women using birth control pills have chronic vaginal yeast infections, and in men, jock itch and athlete’s foot are common. All three conditions are linked to Candida albicans, a naturally occurring yeast that creates problems when it grows out of control. In children, especially those who have been on antibiotics, Candida can cause thrush, a throat infection. Even the family dog’s chronic ear infections are linked to Candida.

Conventional medicine treats yeast and fungal infections with symptom-suppressing drugs, but these drugs can have side effects, and the condition often recurs.

Raul Vergini, MD, appreciates how difficult it is to eliminate candidiasis. When one of his patients couldn’t get rid of the condition he applied EFT. Modeled after acupuncture, EFT uses gentle fingertip tapping to release blocked energy along with stored emotions that contribute to health problems. Dr. Vergini tapped with the patient as they focused on her symptoms.

Two days later, her persistent itching, burning, discharge, and inflamed irritation had disappeared. A follow-up exam showed her to be clinically free from Candida. “She was also able to easily control, with EFT, the burning stomach pain she experienced every evening after dinner, especially when lying down,” Dr. Vergini says.

Los Angeles urologist Eric Robins, MD, blames unresolved emotional issues for 85 percent of all illnesses, especially chronic conditions that don’t respond to conventional therapy. “Some day,” he says, “modern medicine will realize this, and EFT will become a primary healing tool for physicians everywhere. It already is for me.”

Over 225,000 worldwide, including many health care practitioners, have downloaded Craig’s free EFT training manual from the official EFT website, which features reports and case studies on hundreds of illnesses, including cancer. The manual provides all the basics so that anyone can begin using it immediately. The manual can be downloaded here: http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB)–Stanford Engineer Gary Craig introduces a new technique to help the more than 19 million Americans who suffer from some kind of anxiety disorder.

Craig developed Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) as a self-help tool for people with emotional difficulties that were unresponsive to conventional medical and psychological treatment. People suffering with anxiety disorders (including panic attacks) were quick to report their success using EFT to reduce or eliminate longstanding anxiety issues.

“I have personally witnessed hundreds of cases where anxiety sufferers found instant relief from current attacks and long-term generalized anxiety” says Craig. According to Craig’s findings, unresolved emotional issues or past traumas cause a block or disruption in the subtle energies (Chi) of the body. It is these energy disruptions that cause the anxiety symptoms.

The reason that conventional treatments for anxiety are not working is because traditional psychologists and psychiatrists typically do not address their patients’ anxiety issues at the energy level. Instead they prescribe medication or therapy designed to help the patient cope with the anxiety.

“Anti-anxiety medication may keep a person from experiencing a full blown anxiety attack, but the reason for the anxiety is still there. If they don’t take the drugs they will have anxiety”, says Craig. “While there may be some exceptions to this, I haven’t seen any.”

EFT is a simple technique of tapping on specific acupuncture points while thinking about the issue. There is no talk therapy involved, no drugs, and anxiety sufferers do not have to be exposed to the anxiety-inducing environment or situation.

The healthcare costs associated with anxiety disorders are an estimated $63 billion a year and include the cost of lost productivity in the workplace, lost wages and missed work. This does not take into consideration the cost of alternative or natural therapies and supplements that anxiety sufferers purchase in an effort to find a “cure” for their debilitating illness.

Craig says, “I would like to see Employee Assistance Programs cover the cost of EFT treatments for staff who are suffering from anxiety and panic, stress, and other illnesses like Irritable Bowel Syndrome that affect employee productivity and well-being.”

Paul Grey, a newcomer to EFT reports “I believe self administered EFT has cured me of a 15 year panic disorder.” Grey experienced high levels of generalized anxiety, panic attacks and agoraphobia. Grey tried standard talk therapy with a trained psychotherapist, and with a clinical psychologist. He tried hypnotherapy, counseling, Transcendental Meditation, muscle relaxation techniques and breathing exercises. He purchased books about panic and anxiety written by doctors and therapists. He also used two herbs: valerian and kava kava. He found some relief using kava, otherwise his panic and anxiety hadn’t shifted in 15 years.

Grey tried EFT because it was free. He reasoned that EFT’s inventor was not trying to get rich quick because he offered a free download of the EFT manual. After 15 years of trying to find relief from his anxiety, he was wary of charlatans.

In Grey’s words; “I studied the manual and started applying EFT for my current anxiety and my past anxiety. Within a day it was as if all the power of the attacks had gone and my general anxiety was at a zero. I have been testing myself by doing things that I have avoided for years. Like going to the gym. Using trains. Driving on motorways. My mind is sometime still on these problems. I have not been distracted. It’s just that the anxiety doesn’t come. I can even consciously worry a bit that it might, and it still doesn’t come. It’s as if it has been cut off at source.”

Anybody can learn to use EFT to halt the onset of an anxiety attack, or for long-term relief from generalized anxiety. Thousands of clinical reports show that anxiety sufferers experience relief about 80% of the time.

Over 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 5,000 to 10,000 download it each month. Known as The EFT Manual, it has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages. The EFT website is the sixth most actively visited natural health site in the world.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Stanford Engineer Gary Craig introduces a new do-it-yourself approach to Acupuncture that helps overweight Americans combat emotional eating. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) addresses emotional eating at the level of the energy meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine). There is no talk therapy involved, no drugs, no special diets, and it often works when willpower fails.

EFT is modeled after acupuncture but doesn’t use needles. Instead, one simply stimulates certain meridian points by tapping on them with their fingertips. In 80% of the cases immediate food cravings subside in moments. Craig acknowledges, “while this is not yet mainstream thinking, hundreds of doctors, psychiatrists and psychotherapist are using EFT to help their patients change their relationships with food.”

Craig reports, “I see repeatedly that emotional issues like fear, anger, boredom, shame, and resentment are the very centerpiece of someone’s weight gain. But their emotional issues have remained unresolved despite willpower and conventional therapies. This is because their energy meridian system (or Chi in Chinese Medicine) has been disrupted by the emotional issues. Until the energy system is balanced, the emotional eating will continue.”

In his book The Ultimate Weight Solution, Dr. Phil McGraw’s top two “Keys to Permanent Weight Loss” are 1) “Right Thinking” — change your thinking; and 2) “Healing Feelings.” McGraw offers extensive information and advice for readers to analyze themselves as well as exercises intended to help readers take emotional control of their lives.

Craig agrees that negative thoughts, feelings and emotions are at the core of people’s weight problems. But he maintains, “the energy disruption caused by the unresolved emotional difficulties is the missing link to actually changing your thinking and healing your feelings permanently. When the emotional issues are addressed at the energetic level, the negative thoughts and obsessive behavior regarding food disappears. There is no willpower involved because the trigger emotions have been resolved and the urge to overeat simply disappears … usually permanently.”

“Unsuccessful dieters fail because they are relying on their willpower to quell the emotional turmoil that is actually lodged in their energy systems”, says Craig. “Exercises like journaling, and meditation are great to help people connect to their emotional pain, but EFT will help people to gently extract their emotional pain from their system.”

Dr. Carol Look, a Manhattan psychotherapist and EFT Master Practitioner specializes in using EFT for weight loss. One client, Ann, reported being overweight her whole life and knew that her weight was contributing to her back pain. While working with Dr. Look, Ann recognized that she was using food to fill the emotional emptiness of her childhood, to tranquilize the pain from her back, and to fill the void of living with an inattentive husband.

After EFT treatment, her emotional drivers were gone and Ann’s natural ability to lose weight surfaced. She lost 25 pounds and reported that her relationship with food changed significantly. Her back pain improved as well. Ann said, “food isn’t as central in my life anymore…I eat moderately and am more conscious of when I’m full and what I need.” She said that using EFT for her pent-up frustrations and emptiness made all the difference in her life to help her stop overeating and care about her body and health.

Over 225,000 people have downloaded Craig’s free EFT training manual from the official EFT website. It provides all the basics so anyone can begin using it immediately.
