What is EFT?
EFT is a simple, non-intrusive, method of defusing emotional issues and releasing the stresses people may feel in everyday life.
EFT developed by Gary Craig and based on Chinese acupressure points, works at energetic and psychological levels.
EFT compliments and goes beyond hypnotherapy, reiki and other energy healing tools in particular because of its speed, ease to learn and obtain therapeutic results.
All negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body's energy system
The foundation statement of EFT is 'all negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body's energy system'. Energy travels through the body at the speed of light, and our thoughts are energy at work. Next time you experience a negative emotion, notice how long it takes for the information to travel from the brain to be experienced somewhere in your body. Chemicals move at a much slower rate of 1cm per second. Yet in the West, modern medicine has focused on the physical and chemical aspects of the body, and the electromagnetic energy that flows throughout our body and regulates our health has only recently become widely recognised.
Focusing on Emotional Health
Emotional health is absolutely essential to our physical health and wellbeing. To quote Dr Bruce Lipton, one of the world's top cellular biologists, '95% of ALL illness is caused by stress, and 100% of stress is caused by wrong beliefs'. EFT addresses the body's energy systems and memories and beliefs stored at both a mental and energetic level.
EFT is now becoming widely taught, used and scientifically accepted. It is based on the tapping of acupressure points and has been called 'psychological acupuncture', as it uses the same meridian points as acupuncture to treat emotional and physical issues, but without the invasiveness of needles. Simple tapping of the fingertips is used, to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the body, while tuned into a specific problem.
EFT Origins
EFT is a relatively new technique developed in the USA by Gary Craig and featured by Paul McKenna on his television show. Yet EFT has its origins in ancient Chinese Shaolin and Taoist monasteries, where the subtle energies and meridians that travel through the body were first mapped. It also owes much to our growing understanding of human psychology, especially for in-depth emotional issues which are beginning to be explained by quantum physics.
"EFT is destined to be the top healing tool of the 21st Century."

An Easy to Learn Technique
The combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing of specific statements works to clear the emotional disruption or energy block from the system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance.
EFT is simple to learn and use; so simple in fact that you can learn how to apply it in a few minutes and use it regularly on a self-help basis whenever an emotional issue, fear, pain or phobia occurs in your life, to collapse it quickly. As well as relieving specific problems, it has a cumulative effect - each issue addressed will help to reduce the overall stress level experienced.
Life becomes easier and freer with every session as you lose your fears, phobias and limitations. It is truly amazing!

The Benefits of Working with an Experienced EFT Practitioner
The main advantage of working with one of our practitioners is speed. Our Practitioners understand and have the experience of collapsing the many issues, energy imbalances and psychologies causing your unwanted feelings, and behaviours and can therefore help you overcome more significant issues and patterns quickly and painlessly.
It is extremely difficult if not impossible, for an individual to identify and release themselves from emotional, psychological issues. We can't solve a problem with the same way of thinking that created it. The 'problem' is part of our mental construction of reality which creates the way we perceive. As this is an unconscious process, it is therefore outside the awareness of our conscious mind.
Furthermore, many problems start as solutions, and so what may be a problem/issue for us now would have been useful for us at some stage in our life. This again may mean the help of an external practitioner is required , once your practitioner has helped you to identify the belief patterns holding you in an unwanted state, and begun to work on the issues together, the speed at which results can be achieved is incredible. it is very beneficial to continue collapsing the negative emotions associated with them on your own between sessions. Any difficult issues or memories that may arise can be dealt with in your sessions. Just imagine - if you work on one aspect every day, you will have collapsed 365 issues in one year!

EFT for Self-Confidence
EFT can help anyone examine the relationships between their thoughts, feelings and behaviours and literally overturn negative self-limiting beliefs, feelings and behaviours which have been holding them back which can help anyone develop a can do attitude toward life. By realising and releasing limiting beliefs people often comment about feeling lighter and like they have more energy and motivation to do things.
Many people think that confidence is something you either have or don't have, some think that your born with it others may think it is inherited genetically.
Some people feel that they've lost their confidence due to some situation and may believe they'll never get it back. Other struggle with issues of self-esteem/self-worth all their lives believing that's who they are.
What the majority of people don't realise is that our levels of confidence are implicitly linked to our beliefs about what we can or can't do.
Many of these self-limiting beliefs are formed early in on life and very few people revisit, examine or test these ideas to see if they are really true.
Worse still many of our beliefs come from outside ourselves, teachers, parents friends or even social media.
We live and act as if our beliefs were the truth about reality when in fact they are only one perspective in it.
