Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)
INTRODUCTION
EFT Discovery Statement
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”
The statement does not say that a negative emotion is caused by the memory of a past traumatic experience. This is important to recognize because that presumed connection of traumatic memories to negative emotions is a mainstay in conventional psychotherapy. It is the norm to “treat the memory” and, in the process, ask the person to repeatedly relive some emotionally painful memory or event. EFT, by contrast, uses the memory only as reference, but addresses the true cause....a disruption in the body`s energy system. The disruption in the energy system is cleared by tapping on the identified set of points.

Background
EFT is based on new discoveries regarding the body`s subtle energies. This technique has been described by some as one of the most important breakthroughs in the area of psychology in this century. EFT has been used successfully by physicians, therapists and even psychiatrists all over the world thousands of people benefiting from it.
EFT is based on the electrical systems in our body called the meridians. It is an emotional version of acupuncture except that needles are not used, where the release points are stimulated by tapping with the fingertips. We can think of the meridians like rivers along which the electricity in our body flows. This flow has been called many other names such as, chi, prana, life force, electromagnetic, electrical or just energy. EFT helps in restoring the energy flow to normal and that helps us feel emotionally and physically healthy.
The tapping on the acupuncture points on the meridian system releases the blockages that are created when a person thinks about or becomes involved in an emotionally disturbing circumstance. When this blockage is released, energy flow is restored and the emotions come into balance. When this happens, the person will react to the situation or memory in a rational way.The memory remains but the negative charge is gone.
Existence of Meridians
In the 1960s, western scientists injected and then twirled radioactive technetium into the acupoints of patients and used nuclear scanning equipment to follow the flow of technetium. They also injected at the nonacupoints. At non-acupoints, the radioactive tracer diffused outward from the injection site into circular patterns. When the true acupoints were injected,the radioactive technetium followed the exact pathways as the acupuncture meridians in the ancient charts of the human body!. This research supported the ancient Chinese claim that the acupuncture points stimulation affected the flow of ch`i through the body`s meridians.
