What is EFT and why does it work?

No one but Gary Graig, who is my respected teacher and founder of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), can better explain what EFT is and how it can help us to resolve our negative emotions and physical pain with so much ease. Please also see the video's I posted for you.

Gary Graig: “I hope this doesn't sound too grandiose, but I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable...
We are still learning why EFT works so well. It centers around the profound effects of the body's subtle energies using the theory that:

'The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.'

Accordingly, EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture except that we don't use needles. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while the client is 'tuned in' to the problem.

The subtle energies that circulate throughout the body have been largely ignored (until recently) by western scientists. As a result, our use of them for emotional and spiritual healing has been sparse at best. With EFT, however, we consider these subtle energies to be the front running cause of emotional upsets. As a result, we generate results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods...

Further, EFT often provides relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms.
EFT is a Doorway to the new Healing High-Rise. It is where a growing number of newcomers to this exciting field get their start. We now have thousands of practitioners using EFT throughout the world.

Compared to other techniques, EFT is usually quite gentle and substantial relief is often achieved with little or no pain.”

I have found that:

• Not only does EFT bring relief to the issue involved, it also gives deep insight into their patterns, so you do not feel the need anymore to repeat them.
• The process is very gentle, even though intense emotions might come up, but at the end of the session most feel a lot better and the results are usually long lasting.
• Gary says: “Try it on everything”! There is no limit to it’s use.
