An Exclusive Look Inside... THE  ELUSIVE  GIFT  OF  TRAGEDY by Regina Rose Murphy

 

Appendix C
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

In the mid-1990s, Gary Craig created EFT as a simplification of and improvement over Dr. Roger Callahan’s TFT (see Appendix B). Craig trained with Dr. Callahan in the early 1990s, and was the first person Dr. Callahan trained in Voice Technology. Craig soon discovered that the sequence of tapping points did not matter and that Dr. Callahan’s proprietary diagnostics were unnecessary, so he did away with them. In lieu of individual algorithms for specific problems, he came up with a comprehensive “one size fits all” sequence for all problems. This avoids the need for diagnosis or muscle testing.

One EFT practitioner claims, “You can use it for everything from the common cold to cancer.” The basic EFT technique involves holding a disturbing emotion or traumatic memory in the mind while simultaneously using the fingers to tap on a series of 12 specific points on the body that correspond to the body’s meridians. The principle is that negative emotions are caused by disturbances in the body’s energy field and that tapping on the meridians while thinking of a negative emotion changes the body’s energy field, bringing it back into balance.

Gary Craig maintains that negative emotions are built in the following stages:

1. Something negative happens to you.

2. As a result, you experience a negative emotion, i.e., you feel bad.

3. The negative emotion leads to negative programming inside the body’s energy system, which is disrupted in some way.

4. This disruption influences how you respond to future situations, usually negatively.

EFT removes the negative responses to future situations by eliminating the negative emotion and by restoring the energy field’s balance. Most talk therapies stop at dealing with the negative emotions, and can take months or years to work, but EFT goes further by restoring the energy balance, often in two or three sessions. I have found it often to be instantaneous.

So EFT is basically an emotional version of acupuncture without the needles. Instead, you use your fingertips to tap on energy meridian points on the body. Gary Craig’s sequence is easy to learn and remember, and you can do it anywhere. The two mantras of EFT are:

• “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”

• “Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.”

You can sign up for Gary’s newsletter and download a free copy of his EFT manual from www.emofree.com . He emphasizes that the manual is a “starter kit” and that serious practitioners need to study his 5-CD course.
