Achieve Emotional Freedom for Better Health
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) are particularly helpful for dealing with health issues like weight control or food addiction. EFT has also helped people reduce their risk of diabetes by cutting their intake of sugar and refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, pastries). In fact, the “turbo tapping” technique in EFT is one of the best available for cutting the sugar habit. EFT works by helping you redirect your focus away from what you will be losing from dropping certain foods that you crave and towards what you will be gaining (such as increased energy).
EFT is a set of techniques, easy to learn and use, that combine traditional Eastern and Western healing methods. They target the root cause of any difficulty we are struggling with and follow the principle that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in our body's energy system. Repressed emotions create imbalance in our body system and, if left unresolved, can often lead to dis-ease and disharmony. EFT helps to free us from our self limiting beliefs and its benefits are often felt within minutes. If we use it daily, we experience greater happiness, peace, personal empowerment and freedom.
EFT grew out of an earlier energy therapy linked to Kinesiology known as Thought Field Therapy (TFT) developed by US psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan. Gary Craig, founder of EFT, was an early TFT practitioner but felt that TFT was rather cumbersome and complicated. Using his engineering background, he reassembled it into the much simpler form of EFT.
EFT involves talking while tapping on certain stress-relief points or meridians found around the face and upper body and it has been likened to acupuncture, but without the needles! Eric Robins, a physician in the US, has said of EFT: "Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses. When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools, as it is for me."

EFT Research
Some excellent results are being reported in worldwide research studies. One study, carried out in 1999 by psychologists at Curtin University in Western Australia, found EFT to be successful in treating specific phobias and the results were superior to more traditional treatment. Behavioural shifts achieved in the 30-minute treatment sessions were maintained at follow-up sessions six to nine months later.
Most people start to relax almost immediately and report that their traumatic experiences are less bothersome after EFT treatment.
