Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is based on the principle that any physical, emotional or mental problems which we don't manage to process during day to day life, cause a blockage in the energy flow in and around the body. If the blockage remains for a period of time, symptoms - again physical, emotional or mental - begin to develop and can become major blocks or hindrances to us living our lives to the fullest.

Usually work begins by talking about the problem at hand and expressing it in a statement, whilst tapping on acupuncture points. The combination of statement and tapping releases the block and patients frequently experience an immediate feeling of release. If the problem is too painful to talk about, other ways in can be used.

Described in this way it can sound too easy to be true, but it really can be that easy and provide long lasting relief for things we have carried for years. Of course there are blocks which need more work to clear completely.

For videos of this technique, go to YouTube and search 'Gary Craig EFT Universal Healing Technique'. On this video you will see clips from therapists and patients and at the end is a link for a free downloadable manual - this can be very useful, but at the beginning people often need support to create well focussed set-up statements, without which progress doesn't really happen.
