EFT
Ok so what is all the fuss about? Why this sudden promotion of EFT? And what IS EFT anyway?
Valid questions, valid feelings, valid irritation.
Let’s start from the beginning, i.e. where I began. I was at an NLP Seminar when EFT was introduced as a side show so to speak. After I had tried it out I began to see its effectiveness, simplicity and rationale.
And, naturally, I like to spread the idea. Here is something that is available freely on the internet, costs you no money and only a few minutes of your time to practise and you don’t have to be a specialist, have knowledge of psychology or counselling or be an expert in the field.
The results range from amazing to stunning. Further down I have given various sites where you can learn more about EFT. In addition ADMI will be conducting sessions on how to do EFT free of charge. So do look out in the 'Buzz' section of The Navhind Times and 'Heartbeats' section of Herald every day for details.
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT is a trademark of Gary Craig who was doing a lot of research. He was looking for a simple and inexpensive method to relieve people of their emotional suffering. Having studied a lot of techniques including Neuro-Linguistic Programming he finally met a Dr. Callaghan who had developed these techniques. Craig paid Dr. Callaghan US$1,00,000 to learn his techniques,. He simplified it and then offered it free-of-cost on the internet! The world owes a lot to this amazing person.
You can learn all you want about EFT by going to www.eftuniverse.com. When you go to the site make it a point to read the various testimonies and methods provided in the menu on the left hand side of the home page. There is a free subscription to a weekly newsletter and also a free manual that will be sent to you once you register your name on the site. (The free EFT manual gives all the basics and has been translated by volunteer practitioners into seventeen languages. It can be freely downloaded at /downloadeftmanual.asp).
EFT involves a simple procedure of tapping on various points of your body – the same points that are used in Chinese acupuncture. The procedure may seem a bit weird at first but you will forget about that once you see the results.
In my experience things which are simple do not really take off at first. People seem to want to do something complicated if they are to get rid of something they have suffered for years. Like Naaman the leper they seek something more complicated.
Below I give some excerpts from the site to whet your appetite. EFT can be used to take away any emotional ailment and is a great help in physical and psychological ailments as well. People have reported cure from phobias and addictions as well as weight loss/gain – all this without medicines, drugs or any kind of invasive or non-invasive surgery!
Happy tapping!
