What is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)?
EFT is what is known as an Energy Psychology technique. It uses the same meridian points that have been used in acupuncture for thousands of years. But instead of using needles, you tap on the points whilst verbalizing, in a specific manner, an issue that you want to work with. It can be anything from a traumatic memory, to a pain in the body, to an emotional issue. This releases the stress and trauma of the physical or emotional pain from your body’s energy system.
Releasing Traumatic Memories
One of the things that EFT does is help you take the emotional charge out of traumatic memories. If you have experienced a stress or trauma, the memory is held in your subconscious. When something in life reminds you of the memory, you bring all the information of that stressful event back into the body.
For example, can you remember a time when you did something embarrassing? When you do, does your face go red, or your heart sink, or your stomach churn? What EFT can do is help you take emotional charge out of old memories, which have been keeping your body in a state of stress.
What is EFT Used For?
EFT has had impressive results with a whole host of physical and emotional issues. It can be used both to resolve the symptoms of issues, but also to get to the root cause. Many of our physical issues have underlying stressful life events which have triggered them, and EFT can take the charge out of these life events so they no longer trouble you, and so that the body can return to healing. It has also had exceptionally impressive results with conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has been used with soldiers who have experienced war trauma, with amazing results.
How Does EFT Differ from Matrix Reimprinting?
In EFT you can take the charge out of a traumatic memory, but the memory still remains the same. With Matrix Reimprinting you still use the EFT tappings points, but you can actually rewrite the memory. You can go back to any point in time, say or do what you wished you had said or done, bring in new resources and new people, find out what you learned about life on that day and if you are still running that same life message. So Matrix Reimprinting is more empowering. It also enables you to get to blocked or pre-conscious memories, and resolve them easily and effectively.
