About EFT: The Emotional Freedom Techniques was originally designed
to reduce the psychotherapy process from months and years down
to minutes and hours. From there it was discovered that astonishing
physical healings also occurred. Symptoms faded for everything
from Migraine Headaches to Cancer. It often works where nothing
else will. Complete details are given on the EFT World Headquarter

About Energy Psychology:
At the Institute, our research, coaching, and clinical experience has shown that EFT is a powerful treatment method with wide application. EFT is one version of a class of new treatments called Energy Psychology. EFT was developed by Gary Craig and is simple, straight-forward, and easy to learn.
In the United States in the 1960s, Dr. George Goodheart, a chiropractor, developed the field of applied kinesiology which includes percussion (tapping) acupuncture points. In the 1980s, a psychiatrist, Dr. John Diamond, and a psychologist, Roger Callahan, Ph.D., applied Dr. Goodheart's procedures to psychological issues. Their work lead to the development of the field now called "Energy Psychology."
In 1997 the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health endorsed acupuncture for the treatment of nausea and dental pain. They also said that there was evidence that acupuncture may be effective for addiction, stroke, rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma.
EFT is a new psychological treatment procedure based on the principles of acupuncture and acupressure. It can be thought of as acupressure for psychological issues, or as Gary Craig, the inventor of EFT says, "EFT is an emotional version of acupuncture except we don't use needles. Instead, EFT is a self help process that works to stimulate well established meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips while focusing in on an issue. EFT often works when everything else has failed."
ABOUT SUBTLE ENERGY MODELS:
To better understand the bodies energy systen, the photos below depict the two major forms of subtle energies. The top photo is representation of the seven chakras or energy vortexes based on traditiional Reiki, and the bottom photo is the meridian outline employed in EFT tapping points of the meridian system used in acupuncture, each illustrating the flow of electrical waves running through the suttle bodies.
It is becoming more acceptable to the mainstream that people are able to learn methods of creating positive effects on these subtle forms of energy, and in so doing, find positive results in the quality of their life.
