EFT Emotional Freedom Technique

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) — While researchers have spent ten years developing a cure for Huntington’s Disease (HD) in mice, people suffering with the disease have gained symptom relief with a simple do-it-yourself acupressure technique. According to the theory behind Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), illness and disease are caused by unresolved emotional issues and a disrupted energy meridian system (Chi or Qi). When emotional issues are resolved using EFT, physical symptoms associated with serious diseases have been shown to clear, sometimes immediately and often permanently.

EFT is a do-it-yourself acupressure technique that anybody can use to provide relief from the physical and emotional symptoms associated with HD. It involves fingertip tapping on select acupressure points while focusing on the symptom in question. EFT claims an 80% success rate in calming symptoms associated with serious diseases. It and can be learned freely by downloading the EFT Manual at http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html

Researchers from the University of British Columbia have found a way to block the enzyme believed to be instrumental in the development of the disease. For the next five years, researchers will focus on developing and testing a drug that will achieve the same results in humans.

In the meantime, EFT is giving HD patients drug-free relief from the symptoms associated with this degenerative brain disease. EFT theory takes a very different approach to addressing symptoms associated with such diseases.

According to Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT, “When EFT Practitioners approach serious diseases such as Huntington’s, we look at the person’s symptoms and the emotions associated with their symptoms. When we address illness-related emotions like fear, frustration, and grief, we repeatedly find that the symptoms subside, even disappear.”

Children of HD patients have a 50% chance of inheriting Huntington’s. If they have inherited the disease, symptoms generally appear later in life. “I can’t help but wonder whether applying EFT could postpone or even suspend the development of symptoms,” says Craig.

Diane Kendrick is an EFT Practitioner in the United Kingdom whose client had Huntington’s disease. The client presented as having a phobia about walking down stairs, but her HD was evidenced in her slurred speech, jerky gait, twitching and labored breathing.

Because of her symptoms, the woman had difficulty tapping the EFT points, so had her husband do it for her. When she returned a week later, Diane was surprised, “I couldn’t believe the changes in her. Her visual symptoms were about 60% improved.” Her jerkiness and twitching had subsided and her communication had improved. Her speech was less slurred and more clear. During the week between appointments, the woman had done EFT tapping every day on her own. It had become increasingly easy to do as her coordination and enthusiasm had improved.

They did a little more EFT for the phobia of stairs and the woman pinpointed having fallen down stairs ten years previously. With five minutes of EFT, she went up and down stairs with no trace of fear or anxiety. The phobia was gone, but more importantly, she had a considerable improvement in several of the symptoms associated with her incurable physical condition.

Craig explains, “We see this repeatedly with EFT, where addressing a specific issue like a phobia has a generalized positive result for the person’s health. We are not claiming that EFT cures diseases, but EFT users all over the world have experienced remarkable results in the reduction of symptoms associated with cancer, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Crohn’s disease, lupus, Alzheimer’s disease, MS, arthritis and others. Fortunately, an increasing number of health professionals are incorporating EFT into their medical practices.”

There are no known side effects associated with EFT and it often gives symptom relief where nothing else works. “It is my goal,” says Craig, “to encourage the use of EFT to compliment any medical protocol employed to treat serious diseases. To this end, I make the EFT Manual available freely on 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) — An estimated one out of three patients, including adults and children, suffer from moderate to severe anxiety whenever they visit a dentist’s office. Their fear of fillings, extractions, crown and bridgework, and even routine tooth cleaning, often leads to neglect. Untreated dental problems can contribute to serious illnesses, including heart disease.

For years practitioners of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), a simple do-it-yourself acupressure tapping procedure, have reported stunning results for fears and phobias, including dental anxiety. Now a study conducted by Dr. Graham Temple, an English dentist, shows that patients using EFT experienced a significant reduction in anxiety regarding necessary dental work. EFT’s basic instructions are available in a free download of the 79 page EFT Manual. See http://eft.gocmw.com/eft-manual.html .

In the study, patients whose examinations showed that they required treatment such as fillings, extractions, or crown and bridgework were asked whether the thought of the proposed treatment caused them any anxiety. Patients who stated that they felt anxious were asked if they would like to try EFT, which was explained as a form of “psychological acupressure.”

All of the patients who agreed to try EFT were given appointments that included an extra 10 minutes in which to learn the procedure. When they arrived for treatment, patients were asked to rate their anxiety on a scale of zero (completely calm) to 10 (most anxious). Only patients who reported an anxiety rating of 6 or more were used for the study, which involved 30 patients.

After 6 minutes of acupressure tapping, patients were again asked to rate their anxiety. This was immediately followed by the dental treatment. All patients were informed that they could tap on points on their hands, if necessary, during the dental procedure. Following treatment, the patients were asked to comment on their experience.

All (100 percent) of the participants reported reduced anxiety, with over 72 percent experiencing a level of comfort and feeling of control that allowed them to cope well with the dental work as it was carried out.

The study showed that even very brief (6-minute) tapping sessions can significantly improve dental visits not only for patients, who might otherwise postpone or avoid necessary dental work, but for dentists and their staff as well.

“As an EFT practitioner and trainer,” says Dr. Temple, “I use EFT consistently, not only for my dental patients but for myself and other clients who attend my therapy center. I hope that this study will encourage other dentists and their staff to learn about EFT and its effectiveness in dentistry.”

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.”

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) — 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.
