Complementary therapy is known by many different terms, including alternative therapy, alternative medicine, holistic therapy and traditional medicine.
EFT's foundation comes from a common sense blend of
Acupuncture and Mind-Body Medicine, both of which have decades of scientific
studies supporting them. Their effectiveness has been so profound that
prestigious institutions such as Stanford, Harvard and many other universities,
clinics and hospitals have chosen to use and/or study them. Just do an internet
search for terms such as "Mind Body Research" and "Acupuncture
Research" and you will be exposed to the huge warehouse of scientific
studies that validate the EFT Tapping underpinnings.
About 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex
system of energy circuits that run throughout the body. These energy circuits
... or meridians as they are called ... are the centerpiece of Eastern health
practices and form the basis for modern day acupuncture, acupressure and a wide
variety of other healing techniques.
EFT breathes fresh air into the healing process by borrowing
from the Chinese meridian system. While acupuncture, acupressure and the like
have been primarily focused on physical ailments, EFT stands back from this
ancient process and points it also at emotional issues. These, in turn, often
provide benefits for performance and physical issues.
Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT (often known as Tapping
or EFT Tapping), is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive
results for physical, emotional, and performance issues. EFT operates on the
premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are
unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain,
or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional
stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.
