Emotional Freedom Technique®

The Emotional Freedom Technique®, or EFT, is one of the simplest, yet most
effective alternative healing modalities around today—it's also fast becoming one
of the most popular. And it's no wonder, since the technique is easy and quick to
learn (download a free manual on how to get started at www.emofree.com),
there's no special equipment required, and it can be used on yourself, as well as
others, for all sorts of issues, whether they be mental, emotional, physical, or
spiritual—in fact, the EFT "slogan" is "Try it on everything!" All this makes EFT
an ideal tool to have at your disposal during these times of accelerated change
and spiritual transformation.

The tapping process that is at the foundation of EFT may seem strange at first,
but it is actually based on the same principles as the ancient and well-
established healing system of acupuncture. In fact, EFT is a lot like needle-less
(yeah!)acupuncture, using tapping instead of needles to deal with disruptions in
the flow of energy through the body's meridians. To use an analogy for how EFT
works, you might think of each person's life energy as a flowing river flowing. The
river can be fast and furious, or slow and steady. Most people, when they are
younger, have free flowing water/energy in their river, but little by little, as life
passes, "rocks" (blockages) begin to form. The rocks can be any size; the
smaller rocks formed of school or work difficulties, up to the bigger rocks of
serious illness.

At first, the river/life energy flows over the rocks, but as they accumulate, it
begins to struggle and has to change its course. The water can become
stagnant, or muddy or cloudy because of the turbulence; it may even end up out
of control and threaten to burst its banks. EFT works to remove the rocks/energy
blockages so that life force energy can flow freely once again. It may not
happen instantly, and sometimes the biggest rocks may take time to be removed,
but removed they are, allowing the "river" to flow as it was meant to be.

Brad Yates, author, lecturer, evolution catalyst, and one of the leading teachers
and practitioners of EFT, considers the technique to be "acupuncture for the
emotions," since it works along the same meridian lines as acupuncture and acts
to clear blocks in the energy field that cause negative emotions. He also likens it
to dental floss, but calls it "mental floss," because it removes the "gunk" from our
thoughts/mind instead of our teeth. Yates points out that the extent to which we
are not experiencing what we say we want in our life, is the extent to which we
are resisting it, and EFT is great for clearing out that resistance.

The resistance is due to limiting thoughts and beliefs that are usually operating
at a subconscious level outside our conscious awareness (if you said something
like "What, me think that money is bad?" That's crazy!" you might enjoy reading
this article), and since around 90% of our behavior is run by our subconscious,
that negative programming is what's usually running the show. It leads to *self-
sabotage and us never really getting ahead or experiencing the life we desire
and deserve. Fortunately, EFT is very effective in addressing and neutralizing
limiting beliefs. You just need to be willing to put in the time and effort of tracking
down and weeding out the "offenders."

You can find out all there is to know about EFT at the official website www.
e ftuniverse .com (it used to be named emofree.com when EFT creator Gary
Craig had the site). And if one of your goals is to experience more wealth and
abundance in your life, be sure to check out Brad's program called Money
Beyond Belief, where EFT is specifically used to clear away blockages and
beliefs standing in the way of realizing the abundance you deserve. There's also
the wonderful (really!) EFT World Summit audios and materials and the site
TryItOnEverything.com,that's connected with the documentary on EFT of the
same name. Other websites you may want to visit are www.mygenie.tv, which
focuses on using EFT for self-empowerment, and www.tapping.com, which offers
some free guided EFT routines. And if you would like information about
scheduling an EFT session with Zirah at All One, please e-mail

*From Brad's perspective self-sabotage is really just mis-guided attempts at self-
love. For example, when the subconscious holds the dysfunctional belief that
having a lot of money would somehow be bad for you, it causes you to behave in
ways that work to sabotage any conscious efforts you make to get ahead
financially. It sees this as a way to help insure your safety.
