EFT News & Notes

What are aspects?

Aspects are a key piece of getting results with EFT.  If you tap an issue down to zero but the issue still remains then in many cases there are other aspects of the issue that need to be resolved.

An issue like fear of flying might be addressed and released by just tapping on "Even though I have this fear of flying....."  5 minutes later and the issue is gone.  Great!

But its not always that easy.  Typically there is more depth to the issue.  Or in other words there are more parts of the issue.  We call these parts aspects.

The Tapping Sequence

This is a brief summary of how to tap during the EFT process using the short version that most practitioners use.  If you are new to EFT I strongly recommend that you download the free 79 page manual in order to understand how EFT works and how to apply it:

Complete EFT Manual

The short sequence goes as follows:

You identify the issue that is causing you distress.  For example, lets say you have a fear of flying. 

You start by repeating the setup phrase: "Even though I have this fear of flying I deeply and completely accept myself." As you repeat this phrase you will tap on the karate chop point which is the side of either hand.

Then you will tap all of the other points saying a quick phrase that reminds you of the issue.  In this case: "Fear of flying" And then tap on the following:

1. Corner of either eyebrow ( just above the nose)
2. Side of both eyes
3. Under both eyes
4. Under the nose
5. Under the mouth
6. The collarbone points (go to your collarbone at the center of your body, tap the points about an inch to either side)
7. Side of the body just under the armpit (either side)
8. Top of the head

That's it!

Baseball Catcher Uses EFT To Correct Throwing Errors

Cress had a case of the throwing yips in fall ball. It just crept up on him. One minute he was an All-West Valley Region catcher, the next he couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher.

"Baseball is a mental game, and it gets to you," Cress said. "I didn't know what was going on at first, but I knew I had to find a way to overcome it. I kept throwing the ball over the pitcher's head."

Here's a story seen in AZCentral.com  A highly recruited baseball catcher starts to have problems throwing the ball to the pitcher. He sought the help of a sports performance coach who uses EFT.  A couple of quick rounds of tapping and problem was gone.  People always ask me if the changes from EFT last.  Read the catcher's description on how he performed for the rest of the season:

History Of EFT Part II

In an earlier post I wrote about the beginnings of EFT from my perspective and from the stories I have heard.  Now I would like to post the history of EFT as told by Gary Craig.  This is courtesy of emofree.com and it is what Gary puts in his standard brochures.  Enjoy:

 

Foundation of EFT

EFT was introduced in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford Engineering graduate in lifelong pursuit of personal well-being.

“I have been intensely interested in personal improvement via psychology since my age 13. That was when I recognized that the quality of my thoughts was mirrored in the quality of my life. Since then I have been self taught in this field, seeking only those procedures that, in my opinion, produced results. EFT is my latest finding, the core of which I learned from Dr. Roger Callahan. I also have high regard for Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in which I am a Certified Master Practitioner.”


Gary Craig is neither a psychologist nor a licensed therapist. He is an ordained minister through the Universal Church of God in Southern California, which is non-denominational and embraces all religions. He is a dedicated student of A Course in Miracles, and approaches his work with a decidedly spiritual perspective. However, there is no specific spiritual teaching connected to EFT or its Practitioners.

“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. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will.”

History of EFT

Earlier we discussed the history of TFT and that leads into the genesis of the Emotional Freedom Technique more commonly known as EFT.

Gary Craig was a successful in the fields of engineering and finance.  He started to move into a new path as personal performance coach and therapist.  He studied TFT under Callahan and started to modify the TFT approach.  (This was around the early 90's)  One thing an engineer likes to do is build a better mousetrap.  Take an existing process and simplify it and/or add more functionality.  He put that mindset on TFT, expiremented, reworked it and the end product is EFT.

Go to his website www.emofree.com and search on "TFT" and read an article on the "Scientific Evolution of EFT From TFT".  A great article that sheds great insight on how EFT grew out of TFT and and some of the reasoning behind how EFT works

TFT to this day works and gets dramatic results just like EFT. However TFT can be cumbersome with multiple algorithms for different issues.  (Keep in mind that this is nitpicking TFT in a way since it is still much easier and much more effective than most forms of therapy). Gary Craig experimented and looked for a common algorithm to use on all issues.  Or in other words what if we tap the same meridian points for EVERY issue.   He found a series of 12 points that work on most issues and to this day we still use those same 12 points.

Ultimately EFT has grown tremendously due to three reasons:

1. It works!!!
2. It is relatively simple to learn and apply
3. Gary Craig has made it very inexpensive to learn

On the last point - I am always amazed at the humble and giving nature of Gary.  He really loves this field and wants it to spread to the masses and help heal the world.  His detailed intro manual is FREE!  Go here if you want it: Free EFT Stuff. His DVD's are outstanding and he sells them for only $60 when they could easily go for hundreds plus he lets you make copies and give them away for free: Explore The DVD Library.
