EFT...Always at Your Finger Tips

American Clinical Psychologist Roger Callahan stumbled across a remarkable technique that he called “Thought Field Therapy” whilst he was working with a client named, Mary. Mary had been coming to see him for approximately 18 months for treatment for an extreme water phobia. Dr. Callahan was using a desensitising technique with his patient, whereby he would take her out to his house and they would work beside the swimming pool. Gradually over this period Mary had been able to sit, albeit with discomfort closer and closer to the pool. On this particular occasion she complained that she was suffering from a stomach- ache. Dr Callahan had recently been studying kinesiology with Australian psychiatrist John Diamond. Kinesiolgy had been developed by Detroit chiropractor George Goodheart to address the problem of why so many of his adjustments would not hold. Eager to help his patient Dr. Callahan tapped Mary on the bone under the eye. This point is known as “Stomach 1” in acupuncture, as it is the first point on the stomach meridian. The result was not at all what the doctor was expecting. Mary leapt to her feet and began to make towards the pool much to Callahan’s alarm. As she moved she exclaimed, “it’s gone, it’s gone!” By tapping Mary under the eye he had removed her life long fear of water in a matter of literal seconds. Mary’s cure was permanent and Roger Callahan went on to develop TFT.

TFT was a remarkable therapeutic tool that could remove fears and phobias in minutes. It depended on a series of formulae that required the tapping on the end points of specific acupuncture meridians. In the late 1980s a lifecoach, successful financial services consultant and ex-Stanford engineering graduate Gary Craig, started TFT training. He felt the method was cumbersome and could be simplified. Thus with Roger Callahan’s support he went ahead and developed EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. In this simpler form the client puts his/her attention on the problem, clears any reversals by tapping on the outside of the palm whilst repeating the problem out loud and then follows up by tapping on the end points of 8 specific Meridians or Energy Channels. It really is as simple as that! And the results are far above average expectations.
It seems the“Meridians" are influenced by the minute electrical energy of our thoughts…recent research indicates that when meridians via (Acupuncture) points are stimulated there is corresponding activation of a specific region of the brain. Tapping shifts the energy sent out by the brain and this regulates the nervous system. Having said that there is little wonder that EFT is so successful in treating a whole host of problems, is there? Gary Craig urges people to try it on everything. It might not always work but on the other hand what have you got to lose?
