EFT Emotional Freedom Technique

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Women who are experiencing the devastation of infertility are finding hope in a simple, self-applied acupressure. Researchers from Emory University showed that infertile women resumed ovulation after twenty weeks of psychotherapy to reduce stress levels. However, relief need not take that long.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) was developed to accelerate and improve conventional psychotherapy methods by addressing stress related issues at their energetic source. It often reduces the psychotherapy process from weeks or months down to minutes or days. It can be learned freely by downloading the EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

EFT targets a person’s disrupted energy meridian system (Chi or Qi) as the real driver behind heightened stress levels, and the inability to conceive. This simple do-it-yourself acupressure technique balances one’s energy and eliminates the body and mind’s stress response. EFT claims an 80% success rate.

Dr. Sarah Berga led the infertility study, and states, “This study underlines the important contribution that lifestyle factors make in determining overall health and reproductive health in particular. It is quite possible there are many individuals who could benefit from stress reduction in terms of infertility therapies.”

Participants in the study underwent cognitive behavior therapy, which focused on teaching the women strategies for coping with stress. After 20 weeks of therapy, the ovulation cycle was restored in 80% of the women. Conversely, EFT users have reduced their stress and reversed infertility in one to three EFT sessions. EFT is a more cost effective method than expensive fertility techniques, or even lengthy psychotherapy.

According to EFT founder, Gary Craig, “EFT offers a faster, more permanent solution to stress reduction and fertility issues because it addresses the energy imbalance as well as the unresolved negative emotions that are creating the energy imbalance and infertility. When stress, fear, and anxiety are resolved at this deep level using EFT, we found that normal stressors simply no longer activate a stress response.”

Dr. Tam Llewellyn-Edwards, an EFT Master located in the United Kingdom, has worked with women who were having difficulty conceiving children. While working with Dr. Llewellyn-Edwards to collapse emotional issues, one client revealed her own fear around giving birth. They used EFT to neutralize this fear and she was able to recognize other concerns. She identified and cleared her doubts about being able to care for an infant, as well as a fear that her husband would love their baby more than her.

Says Dr. Llewellyn-Edwards, “Four months later I heard from Jane again. She was two months pregnant! She now has a lovely 3 year old boy and she did cope and her husband still loves her.” This EFT treatment took just three sessions, and illustrates that fear and anxiety about parenthood may inhibit conception.

According to the medical journal, Fertility and Sterility, one in ten American couples is infertile. Craig says, “When infertility is an issue I would recommend trying EFT before investing in expensive fertility treatments or lengthy psychotherapy. We are not suggesting that EFT replace conventional medical treatment but offering an option that brings healing to the body, the mind as well as the energy system. It is my belief that a calm, balanced body would be more receptive to conception.”

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Children, adolescents and adults can take charge and change their future health by using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to address traumatic experiences. Research repeatedly shows that children who experience unresolved trauma and adversity are likely to become adults with compromised physical and emotional health. Conventional medicine appears unprepared to supply solutions to prevent childhood trauma from translating into adult illness.

EFT is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique that anybody can use to halt depression, anxiety, anger and fear. It involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the problem in question. This adaptation of acupressure claims an 80% success rate in calming the body and mind’s response to trauma.

Vincent J Felitti, MD, co-authored the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study that compared 17,400 adults’ health status with decades-old childhood experiences. According to Dr. Felitti, “The ACE Study reveals a powerful relation between our emotional experiences as children and our adult emotional health, physical health, and major causes of mortality in the United States.”

The ACE Study findings categorized adverse childhood experiences (physical, emotional or sexual abuse, dysfunctional households with family issues like violence, alcoholism, mental illness and depression). A person who had four of these adverse childhood experiences (ACE score of 4) was 390 percent more likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) than someone reporting no adverse childhood experiences. A person with and ACE score of more than 4 was 460 percent more likely to be a depressed adult than someone with an ACE score of zero.

Gary Craig, founder of EFT explains, “The ACE Study and similar research is finally coming to the conclusion that unresolved childhood emotional issues affect adult health. However, practitioners of EFT have known this since 1995. Furthermore, EFT practitioners all over the world have been erasing traumas associated with adverse childhood experiences for more than a decade.”

Although most conventional physicians have yet to learn about EFT, this simple technique fills a void that cannot be filled by prescription medications or traditional psychotherapy. According to the theory behind EFT, childhood trauma causes a severe disruption in the body’s energy meridian system (also known as Chi or Qi), and unless this disruption is corrected, physical and emotional symptoms and coping behaviors are likely to erupt as the traumatized child ages. EFT corrects that energy disruption and its accompanying physical and emotional symptoms.

Says Dr Fellitti, “Clearly, we have shown that adverse childhood experiences are both common and destructive. This combination makes them one of the most important, if not the most important, determinants of the health and well-being of the nation. Unfortunately, these problems are both painful to recognize and difficult to cope with. Most physicians would far rather deal with traditional organic disease.”

Dr. Felitti indicates that the treatment and prevention implications of the ACE Study are daunting to conventional doctors. “Why would one want to leave the relative comfort of traditional organic disease and enter this area of threatening uncertainty that none of us has been trained to deal with?”

Gary Craig says, “Thousands of EFT Practitioners are currently working with children and adults, teaching them EFT and helping them to resolve complex emotional traumas. In addition to laypersons, medical professionals of all kinds are incorporating EFT into their practices. The work is already being done but it is my goal to have EFT in the family first aid kit of every household in North America. To this end, I am making the EFT Manual freely available from the EFT website”.

Although most Americans have yet to hear of it, EFT may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique. Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — For some people, road rage is more than just bad behavior; it’s a psychiatric condition, according to researchers from Harvard Medical School and Chicago University. If someone has more than three explosive outbursts in their lifetime, threatening physical harm or causing damage to property, they may be diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED).

But there are alternatives to using prescription drugs like antidepressants or mood stabilizers, to combat road rage. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique used by many to calm themselves in traffic and avert angry, destructive outbursts. It involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the disturbance in question. This adaptation of acupressure claims an 80% success rate in calming the body and mind’s anger response. It can be learned by downloading the free EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

Seth Joyner, former Arizona Cardinals linebacker and three time Pro-Bowler, learned EFT to enhance his sports performance but uses it regularly in daily life. When using EFT as a stress reliever he found it helped him control road rage. Says Joyner, “Anger management really has more to do with your reaction to a situation than what someone else does.” He no longer gets angry when someone cuts him off in traffic; instead he taps.

“You naturally get upset when that happens, but now I start tapping right away,” he said. “It calms you right away and makes you realize you’re in control of your emotions, of how you act and react in certain situations.”

Road rage is a term used to describe drivers’ behaviors when they lose their temper in traffic. They may yell at other drivers, speed, tailgate and maneuver their vehicle dangerously. Not every road rager becomes violent, or has IED, but most drivers have experienced anger and impatience when driving in congested traffic.

Drivers who do EFT while they are stuck in traffic consistently report that their impatience and anger fades, and they find themselves calmly thinking of other things.

While medical research justifies medicating angry people, little is being done to address anger problems at their root. EFT is a notable exception. According to the EFT theory, unresolved negative emotions, trauma and a severely disrupted energy meridian system (or chi) is at the root of this intense anger. This simple acupressure technique quickly brings the energy meridians into balance, neutralizes negative emotions and calms explosive behavior. With a little practice, EFT can be safely administered while driving, making it a useful road rage antidote.

“We don’t claim that EFT is a cure-all, but when used correctly, we do get an 80% success rate, even with rage issues,” says Gary Craig, the EFT Founder. “There are no known side-effects with EFT and angry people are able to find true peace, rather than a simple tranquilizing of their emotions. I believe that, left unchecked, these unresolved emotions will manifest into illness”.

The American Heart Association links heart disease with anger in several medical studies. In fact people with high anger scores are three times more likely to suffer a heart attack than people with low anger scores. What is particularly disturbing is that excessive anger proved to be more of a heart health risk than common risk factors of smoking, obesity or diabetes.

Although most Americans have yet to hear of it, EFT may be the world’s fastest-growing self-help technique. Over 300,000 have downloaded Craig’s free training manual and another 10,000 download it each month. The official EFT Manual has been translated by volunteer practitioners into nine languages.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — Improved vision is a possibility for the 11 million Americans with uncorrected visual impairments. Dr. Carol Look, Master Practitioner of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), conducted an experiment to determine whether or not EFT could help improve vision. The results were remarkable; of the 120 EFT users who completed the experiment, 75 percent reported a significant improvement in their vision, with many no longer needing to use reading glasses. This innovative acupressure technique can be learned freely by downloading the EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

A National Institute of Health (NIH) survey indicates that 14 million Americans are visually impaired and of those, 11 million people do not use vision correction. Dr. Elias A. Zerhouni, director of the NIH stated that “uncorrected visual impairment is a major public health problem.” The NIH recommendation is for health professionals to increase awareness of the importance of eye health and that people undergo routine eye exams.

Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, explains, “Conventional medicine has yet to fully explore the relationship between deteriorating vision and unresolved emotional issues. EFT has been at the forefront of this viewpoint since 1997 when we started receiving reports from people who used EFT to resolve emotional issues only to find their vision had improved. This innovative approach is an emotional version of acupuncture, except that needles aren’t necessary. Instead, key meridian points are stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips.”

Craig continues, “Dr. Look’s EFT experiment served to validate what our case studies have been showing for years. When people using EFT address emotional issues like fear, anger, grief and guilt, many physical symptoms fade, including poor vision”.

In her experiment, Dr. Look directed 120 people to use EFT daily for 8 weeks. Each week, participants received an email with an emotional topic for the next seven days of EFT. Participants spent about five minutes per day doing EFT for a specific emotional issue like anger, fear, guilt, and hurt. Anyone can do EFT by simply tapping on a series of acupuncture points while focusing thought on the emotional issue.

As Cheri, a 55 year old woman, addressed the emotional issues outlined in the EFT experiment, she neutralized many unresolved feelings regarding her mother. As she did so, her vision improved in several categories defined in the experiment. Her perception of brightness improved, as did her color perception and contrast. Her farsighted vision also improved considerably. In Cheri’s words, “It has been many years since I’ve been able to see clearly the trees and their foliage or to determine if the rattle was a squirrel or a bird.”

Prior to the experiment, Cheri wore glasses for reading 95% of the time but now no longer uses reading glasses at all. “This is a dramatic finding for people who are conditioned to believe that as they age, they will need glasses to read,” says Craig.

An appointment with her eye doctor verified Cheri’s improvements. Compared to her appointment two years previous, she could read two more lines on the eye chart. She had been diagnosed with “vertical muscle imbalance” and “mild map dot dystrophy.” Although he could not explain it, the doctor’s tests showed that neither condition existed any longer.

Cheri’s doctor was very interested in and supportive of using EFT to improve her eyesight. He indicated that, “emotions play a strong part in the flow of blood to the retina, as well as to different parts of the brain, so increased blood flow (as a result of EFT) to both the retina and the brain would be reflected in the sharpened clarity.”

In an interview with Dr. Look, Cheri reported that in addition to the vision improvement, her ability to set boundaries with her family and to voice her concerns with her mother also improved. Two months later, Cheri writes “my vision shifts with my emotion but for the most part holds nicely. My communication skills within my family continue to improve. Clarity from afar continues to hold strong…”

Dr. Look noted that more participants reported vision improvement after working through the emotion of anger, than any other emotion. Overall, more than half the participants reported that their nearsightedness had improved, and 42% indicated that their farsightedness had improved.

Says Craig, “We recognize the limitations of this experiment and are not suggesting that it is a pristine scientific study. However, the results go far beyond the possibility of coincidence. I would encourage the 11 million Americans with faulty, uncorrected vision to see what kind of improvement they can achieve by using EFT for just five minutes per day.”
