Emotional Freedom Technique Or EFT By Marie Holliday

Hi my name is Marie and I am an Advanced Practitioner and Qualified Trainer with Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT as it is simply known, here in Spain. Let me tell you how I was introduced to EFT.

Several years ago, I had a brain hemorrhage with side effects that couldn't be helped by the medical profession or drugs. The symptoms included severe dizziness and nausea accompanying this. The haemorrhage was the best thing that ever happened to me! Don't be shocked....through that I was introduced to EFT and after a few days of applying this simple therapy to myself, I totally eliminated my symptoms. Amazing! And years on,it still amazes me when working with clients.

Here is a selection of questons I am asked about EFT.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique?

Emotional Freedom Technique is a form of energy healing. It is classed as a cousin to acupuncture, or in laymans' terms a " DIY acupuncture" without needles. EFT works on the same subtle energies used in acupuncture and dates back over 5,000 years to Ancient Chinese Medicine. It is a self healing technique that helps you manage your own health and can help alleviate symptoms such as pains/aches associated with sickness and ill health. In effect, this means that EFT can be self applied or used with a practioner.

How does EFT work?

EFT is a simple combination of "tapping" or "stimulating" specific points with our fingers, whilst using verbal statements describing the problem. EFT is based on the premise that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the bodys' energy system".

Imbalances in the bodys' energy system have profound effects on the person's psychology and health. When EFT is applied to certain points on the meridian lines, the imbalances are generally corrected. A balanced system can start to heal itself.

Our bodies all have an electrical or energy system, Albert Einstein told us back in the 1920s' that everything is composed of energy, including our bodies. This electrical energy system is as vital to us as our other bodily systems.

Can everyone learn EFT ?

Yes EFT is suitable for anyone and everyone to learn, even children can learn how to simply apply it with childhood and learning issues. Mothers also are applying it to their children and babies to help overcome a lot of worries and fears that children grow up with. Once learnt, EFT can be used on yourself, with familyand friends. Additionally, professionals are using it, in conjunction with other therapies eg: an acupuncturist has a client with "fear of needles", he will use EFT first, prior to applying acupuncture to alleviate their fear. Red Cross have used it in Kosova, volunteers in Tsunami with trauma bereavemnt/loss. Sports people are using it to "climb higher" in their given area.

How can I learn EFT?

Training courses are offered by a Qualified Trainer and Advanced EFT Practioner, either individually, small groups or workshops. They are verified by the AAMET (Association of Advancement of Meridian Therapies). Standardisation is becoming an important part of EFT, therefore it is important to check that the trainer has correct certification/verification.

Included in the course is a comprehensive training manual, Certificate of Completion and complimentary follow up.

Half day courses are aslo offered for those that require a simpler, non certificated version - possibly for their own health use. Simpler still is a NEW Training EFT DVD with simple demonstrations and information that can be referred to, available from EFTSpain, again complementary follow up is offered with DVD.

To finalise, try EFT on everything and everyone and anything and everything. It is far too good to keep to ourselves ... it truly is "A sharing & caring" technique".
