Hundreds of physical symptoms including headaches, body pains and breathing difficulties, have been relieved by the use of this technique.

Properly applied, over 80% achieve either noticeable improvement or complete cessation of the problem. EFT has been described as follows:

...Often works where nothing else will.
...Usually rapid, long lasting and gentle.
...No drugs or equipment involved.
...Easily learned by anyone.
...Can be self applied.

You can learn more about this fascinating and effective technique by downloading the manual for Emotional Freedom Techniques from this site.

Use of Emotional Freedom Techniques in Grief

At a time when decisions need to be made and rituals are unfolding, it is important to possess the ability to get through these steps of the grieving process.

EFT allows this to occur in a natural and healthy way, preserving the dignity of the moment while allowing natural grief to proceed.

One of the many experiences of the griever is emotional eating, frequently accompanied by unwanted weight gain. EFT has been very effective in resolving emotional eating behaviors.

Exciting Results from Emotional Freedom Techniques

With chronic pain:

Laura has suffered from chronic shoulder pain for several years after a surgery for rotator cuff tears. After several rounds of tapping with the Emotional Freedom Techniques, taking about 10 minutes, her pain went from an 8, (on a scale of 0-10) to a 0. She was able to fully extend her arm, where her range of motion was about 60% restricted before the EFT.

I met Anna in the beauty salon while waiting for my appointment. She had severe knee pain and reported that she just 'had to sit down'. Since we were both just waiting, I sat down beside her and told her about EFT.

I taught her the process, she tapped for her knee pain, and within about 15 minutes, she was walking around the salon, amazed at the relief. She said, "I haven't had this much relief in a year and a half!"

She also had had many years of post-herpetic neuralgia, a very painful response to stress. This is caused by the herpes virus which stays in the body after an attack of shingles. Frequently, and she never knew when it would hit, she would get intense itching and pain on her neck.

We tapped on a situation which caused her great distress, and not only did we relieve the distress from the situation, but she experienced no neuralgia. She was delighted to think that she may also be done with that condition.

**UPDATE FROM ANNA: three weeks later her knee pain has not returned.

This is a common occurrence. Often when the emotional stressors are gone, spontaneous disappearance of physical symptoms occurs as well.

She promised to stay in touch with me, so stay tuned for a follow up report.

With guilt:

Dianne had intense guilt (10) over a decision she had made to terminate life support for her mother, ten years ago. After two rounds of Emotional Freedom Techniques tapping, she smiled broadly, and began to cry. "Something happened!" she said. "Does this happen to everybody?"

Then she described how as she tapped her facial points, she felt the guilt 'just go out of me' and she gestured with her hand, from her head down to her feet. It was zero!!

With germ phobia:

Noelle had experienced intense distress since childhood whenever she was around sick people. We treated her phobia with a few rounds of EFT in one session.

For the past four weeks she has had no distress with sitting in a doctor's office waiting room, and while her husband has had severe allergies, with coughing and sneezing.

She even reported that she had been petting a cat, which she had never been comfortable doing in the past.

On her latest visit, Noelle reported that she had easily handled money at a garage sale. This would have created intense anxiety and handwashing behaviors before Emotional Freedom Techniques.

EFT results are not always ONE MINUTE WONDERS such as these examples, some take daily tapping for a period of time. However, it often is this quick and permanent.

With breathing difficulties

My neighbor, Donna, had been a smoker for years. She quit several years ago, but at 72, she had just been diagnosed with emphysema. She would have chest pain and couldn't get more than 75% of a full breath.

I explained Emotional Freedom Techniques to her, and how useful it had been for so many people. We did a brief session of tapping on an issue that was very worrisome to her, the worry went away, and she was surprised that she could easily take a full breath.

That was over a year ago, and she is still breathing, can shop for hours without fatigue and is, understandably, amazed and thrilled.

There are hundreds of examples just from my own practice over the past three months. Needless to say, this has revolutionized the way I practice.

I am beginning to do presentations and workshops to teach this technique to others. I also offer telephone sessions where I teach the technique.
