Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) – popularly referred to as “Tapping” – was founded by Gary Craig in the early 1990’s. It is based on the belief that emotional and physical traumas cause electrical or energy blockages, both at the cellular level, and within the energy meridians, thus causing us to retain the traumas far longer than we should. It is widely agreed upon by most physician, research hospitals and major medical organizations, NIH, WHO, Kaiser Permanente and many others that between 90-95% of all illness, disease processes and injuries are rooted in negative emotions. When we hold onto our old emotions we quite literally make ourselves ill.
Negative emotions lower our immune systems and make our bodies physically weaker. Releasing old emotions is the essential key to healing your body, mind and spirit. However, doing that is not always easy. Tapping, or EFT makes it simple to do. When you heal your emotions, you heal your body. I suffered from back pain for 12 years after I ruptured a disc in my neck. After surgery to fuse the discs, I continued to get a trickle-down effect resulting in 11 other discs to become compromised. The pain and physical limitations were debilitating and life altering. I was raising two young children with my husband and could not be physically active with them. I found EFT and within several hours, I released all the emotions from a previous situation. I no longer have back pain, twelve years later.
Every emotional and physical trauma experienced in life can potentially stay with us for life – in the form of the chemicals of emotion, physical and emotional pain can stay with us emotionally, biologically, physically and energetically as well as from recalled memories. These chemicals of emotion dock onto our cells’ receptor sites. Tapping helps dislodge these chemicals and the attached emotions from the cells and clears them from the body, releasing one’s mind of the negative thoughts surrounding the events. The individual still recalls the event, but there is no longer a heavy negative charge to it.
Tapping imparts kinetic energy (of motion) and is done on the energy meridian endpoints – or acupuncture points – on the face, hands and a few other areas of the body with your fingertips. No needles are involved. Tapping with your fingertips on these specific points, while focusing on areas of emotional or physical trauma, is proven to help release blocked negative energy. And this, in turn, provides relief. Tapping has been shown scientifically to calm the amygdala, part of the limbic system involved in emotional responses, including fear, anxiety, aggression and more.
EFT or Tapping is a self help tool that you can use and teach to others for a lifetime of freedom from negative emotions and physical pain. When paired with these Healing Programs, the results are

“Words have the power to rewire our brains on demand to dramatically shift your mind and body so that chemically you are no longer the same person you were only moments ago.”
“When we speak the words,….something shifts within us. And that “something,” is…..the power of words, chemistry and neurons converge in a beautiful way.”
