Self-Help with EFT

Actually, this question is a bit misleading, the better question would perhaps be, what can it not do for me? But I didn’t want to start out with a limitation when limitation is practically the least that comes to mind when I think about EFT (for an extensive collection of case studies check out the website www.emofree.com).

Gary Craig, founder of EFT, coined the phrase “Try it on everything” and this is a very fitting statement, even though it sounds overly general. Try it on everything. OK, you will not perform open heart surgery with it, and it is also not the best treatment for whitening your teeth. But other than that, the sky’s the limit.

There are positive experiences with EFT on practically all levels, like relationship issues, fibromyalgia, blood clotting, side effects to medications, fevers, toothaches, inflammations, colds, coughs, headaches, cramping, cold feet, erectile dysfunction, menopausal problems, anxiety attacks, phobias, anger, performance issues, mental strength, fear of public speaking, memory loss, concentration problems, multiple sclerosis, even stuttering and severe trauma.

There are thousands of websites all over the internet reporting all kinds of astonishing stories, stories that I would consider ludicrous if I hadn’t had so many astonishing experiences with EFT myself.

Despite the simple procedure of EFT, its application range is enormous, and its success rate is with 75-80% even for self-help issues remarkable. With more experience and artful and skilled application by an expert, the successes are even more impressive and even long standing problems are sometimes solved by merely one round of tapping (this is not something I just invented, it is demonstrated over and over by clients all over the world).

EFT can be applied over the telephone, via e-mail consultation, in group sessions or face to face. It is really hard to say which approach is the most powerful as they are all very powerful.

What brings sometimes outstanding results is the combination of EFT and hypnotherapy, especially for deep seated problems, traumas that go far back in your childhood.

A wonderful thing about EFT is that it doesn’t require any special equipment, and it also doesn’t require painful visits to the past. There is no need for going back and trying to resolve old topics, you don’t have to dig in old painful memories in order to “burn through these old issues”. You can work with the most traumatic situations in a very gentle, very secure manner, and still resolve them completely.

Gary Craig and Carol Look, an EFT Master, have (amongst countless others) applied EFT to Vietnam veterans who have been under clinical treatment for decades with no measurable success. After their work with EFT, many of them could sleep for the first time since the traumatic events had happened, they lost their phobias that were related to the horrible scenes they were witnesses of and that were to cruel to talk about them, they resolved issues of guilt and self-flagellation for the first time in 40 years.

I am still convinced that now, in this phase when conventional health systems all over the world are collapsing under their economical weight, Energy Medicine and amongst this EFT are the valid answer to the problems of our burdened societies.

The only thing that you cannot do with EFT (besides the open heart surgery and organ transplantations) is enjoying your illnesses as you did before. Even though EFT also helps in severe cases, it is always recommendable to already intervene in the early subtle stages of a problem, and so very many problems never have the chance to really make it to a stage where they would be worth being discussed in broad.

But in my opinion, this is a small price to pay…
