  EFT: Emotional Freedom Techniques  

"EFT [Emotional Freedom Technique] is a simple way to rid yourself of phobias, anxieties and anything else that bothers you."

It has roots in ancient Chinese medicine and the modern science of Applied Kinesiology. Which is why it is often called "acupuncture without needles."

The basic theory is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. By correcting the disturbance on an energy level we simultaneously correct it on the emotional level.

That may be so.

But in my opinion, EFT is a rapid form of hypnosis.

It is often startlingly effective. New or old emotional upsets are often released in less than half an hour!

Similarly, life-long phobias, compulsive behaviours and unhealthy patterns of belief can be eliminated, quickly, easily and safely.

 


  Here are some issues which EFT can eliminate or alleviate:

Addictive Cravings (food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs)
Allergies
Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anger
Compulsions and Obsessions
Depression and Sadness
Dyslexia
Fears and Phobias
Grief and Loss
Guilt
Insomnia
Negative Memories
Nightmares
Pain and Symptom Management (fibromyalgia, arthritis, back & neck pain)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Poor Sports Performance
Public Speaking
Sexual Abuse Issues

 

Using EFT on Fears and Phobias

About 10% of people suffer with a phobia. A phobia is an irrational fear. It can have a terribly limiting effect on your life. But EFT can be effective on all of the hundreds of phobias. Here are some of the more common ones:

Bridges
Being alone
Claustrophobia
Computers
Dentists
Disease
Driving
Elevators
Flying
Heights
Marriage
Needles
Public Speaking
Rejection
Sex
Snakes, spiders, bees
The telephone
Water."

  You can even use EFT to make lots of money, according to Joe Vitale. He claims his "Money Beyond Belief! Home Tapping System" will attract countless money-making opportunities into your life as it transforms your relationship to money: Money Beyond Belief!
