4. Patricia sought relief for her emotional issues but had no idea that she was also going to achieve relief for her asthma. However, within the first few minutes of her use of EFT she was breathing deeply and freely in a manner that her medications had never provided. She also suffered from low back pain and that, too, subsided within the same session. This full session is included in The EFT training video set known as The EFT Course (see http://www.emofree.com/eftcourse.htm).

Unique Features of EFT

There are several features that set EFT apart from other such healing procedures. For example, it employs one basic tapping routine that is effective for both physical and emotional issues. That’s why diverse audiences can achieve high percentage results even though each member may be addressing a different issue.

Further, healthy belief changes often occur as the energy meridians come into balance. The abuse victim, for example, may experience a belief shift from “My father hates me” to the healthier, “Dad doesn’t know how to love. He needs help.” Along with this more peaceful attitude, physical symptoms often subside.

Also, EFT’s results are often long term. Properly done, the process most often does not need to be repeated. I know a number of people, who received very successful EFT sessions more than 10 years ago, and have never had a relapse. This is particularly so with emotional issues involving traumatic memories, grief, fears and phobias. It is also true with many physical symptoms although highly skilled practitioners may be necessary in complicated cases. Many injuries, including sports injuries, tend to heal faster when EFT is part of the healing protocol.

A New Moment in Science?

My view of science is that “SCIENCE IS THE BEST WE KNOW AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT.” However, “the best known” is not always “the best available.” Valuable breakthroughs often take a long time before being accepted. For example, the doctor who discovered and proved the need for sanitary conditions when clients were being treated saw his proven work ignored for decades.

EFT, by contrast, has already received international acceptance. Thanks to close teamwork between highly skilled practitioners, seminars and word-of-mouth, the EFT email list has grown over a thousand fold since it first started 6 years ago and it continues to grow at an impressive pace. Also, the EFT training videos are modestly priced and can be copied and freely distributed to your colleagues and to other professionals. It is estimated that over 1,000,000 people worldwide have received the benefits of EFT.

A controlled study is now available in the September, 2003 Journal of Clinical Psychology.
