Where did EFT come from?
EFT has its roots in ancient Chinese medicine and the modern science of Applied Kinesiology.
EFT as we know it today was developed with the pioneering work done by Gary Craig in the late 1990’s.
How does EFT work?
The basic theory is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system. EFT restores the bodies natural balance, removes the energy disruption and thereby removes the problem.
With remarkable consistency, EFT relieves symptoms by an unusual (but scientific) routine of tapping with the fingertips on specific points on the energy meridians which neutralises disruptions in your body's electrical system.
This process has been likened to someone sticking a screwdriver into the back of a television set. Naturally, you will get a “Zzzt..” short-circuit and the television will malfunction. EFT removes the screwdriver, and restores the televisions correct operation.
It is the subject of much speculation why pain and physical problems respond to EFT in the same way as emotional problems. One clue may come from the recent discovery that the same area of the brain is used to deal with both depression and pain.
Do you have to believe in EFT for it to work?
Absolutely not. EFT works whether you believe in it or not. It doesn’t matter if the practitioner believes in it or not. The way I look at this question is that you don’t have to believe in drugs for them to work, and neither does your doctor have to believe in them. So why shouldn’t EFT be the same?
What can be treated using EFT?
These techniques have been used successfully by thousands of people with a broad range of difficulties. Some of these, I have listed below.

Are there any side-effects?
EFT is very gentle and rarely has any side effects. It is often combined with or used instead of other procedures, because of its gentle nature. In my experience, people often feel energised after an EFT session. The only other side effects are good ones, where treating one problem will cause another problem to heal, spontaneously.
How long do the results last?
EFT is almost always long lasting. Physical healings are often impressive and enduring as well but are more likely to re-emerge than emotional issues.
How long does it take me to heal?
Unfortunately there are no hard and fast rules that may be applied here, because every problem is different, and every person is different.
Deeply rooted behaviours or beliefs will necessarily take longer to eliminate than some more simple problems.
Usually a person with even the most deeply seated problems to start seeing real benefits within (at worst) a few weeks, and some people (at best) within a few minutes.
But ultimately these techniques will rid us of the excess emotional baggage so that we are free to get on with our lives and realise the full range of our potential and freedom
