What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Techniques, abbreviated as EFT, traces its roots back over 5,000 years to ancient Chinese Shaolin and Taoist monasteries, where early healers and scholars laid the groundwork for Eastern healing practices like acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu massage, and reflexology by mapping the body’s energy pathways.

Incorporating ancient wisdom, EFT has been enriched by the insights of numerous individuals who have advanced our understanding of human psychology. This therapy draws on a wealth of accumulated knowledge, particularly in addressing profound emotional and psychological issues.

The evolution of EFT owes a debt to the pioneering work of Dr. George Goodheart, the originator of Applied Kinesiology, and Dr. Roger Callahan, the trailblazer behind TFT Thought Field Therapy. In the early 1990s, Gary Craig, a former student of Dr. Callahan, streamlined the intricate TFT procedures, making the technique universally accessible.

Through gentle tapping on established energy meridian points of the body using our fingertips, EFT effectively dislodges emotional obstructions in the energy pathways that are associated with mental, emotional, and physical issues. This straightforward yet profound method facilitates the successful dismantling of emotional barriers, contributing to the restoration of balance and well-being.
