Why I use and teach EFT (See Sample Session Video Below) I don't know what I would have done without EFT this past 2 years! When I was "called" to move to New York City in 2007 from a tiny village of about 1,000 in southern Arizona (Patagonia) to finish the Interfaith Seminary I had started, I thought it was as crazy as everyone else did, but with faith in the Love that was moving in me, I began the journey, but not without tapping every day to release fears about leaving my home of 24 years, my 4 children (ages 12-20 at the time), and virtually all of my friends and supports. I could hardly believe how "easy" the move went, selling all of my belongings (except what fit into a small 4 door Prius), settling my unhappy children with their new living situation (another story all together to be continuously tapped on), and traveling over 3,000 miles in a month and landing in NYC with a month's rent and $200 cash in my pocket. Well, it hasn't been all peaches and cream, but I lived in the NYC area for 15 months, living the life I have Always wanted to live, doing what I LOVE to do: help people find their own way to their Truth and happier life! Now I'm back in Arizona AND I still tap every day...why? Because I love being balanced and I'm not perfect yet...so, What is EFT?
"EFT is based on a new discovery regarding the body's subtle energies. Simply stated, it is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren't necessary. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere. It launches off the EFT Discovery Statement which says... "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system." And because our physical pains and diseases often appear to be connected with our emotions the following statement has also shown merit... "Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases." This common sense approach draws its power from (1) time-honored Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years and (2) Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy. These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing Practices and that is why EFT can work where nothing else does." (www.emofree.com) "EFT is: What does EFT work on? Sports and other Performance Almost Everything Else Does EFT ALWAYS work? EFT isn't the perfect tool, and we don't get 100% success, but: It works most of the time. It's effects are usually permanent. It can work when other treatments/modalities have not. · How do you learn EFT?

Testimonials: "I am new to EFT and Kathryn is my first teacher. I met her in a group setting where she spoke about and gave a brief demonstration of EFT. I enjoyed her presentation and her style. I followed up and did couple of private sessions with her. Working with Kathryn helped me to forge a real connection with my inner child and guage my progress with EFT and my emotional health based on that connection. A totally new experience for me! My programming has been to be a THINKER and Kathryn helped me to FEEL more with our sessions. I experienced a shift in perspective and increased clarity on important areas in my life--in just 2 sessions! Kathryn encouraged me to keep tapping in between and after sessions and that's what I'm doing. I'm grateful that Kathryn got me going in a meaningful way. If you're new to EFT, thinking about trying it out, or would like to expose a group to this technique, I would recommend a private or group session with Kathryn to experience her genuine style and down-to-earth approach. -----Alex, Boston."
“Thank you so much for treating my foot! It was a miracle! I woke up without pain as well! My body and Spirit respond so well to that work/healing! (with EFT)” J.D. Tucson, AZ
History of EFT:"It began in 1980, with a psychologist by the name of Roger Callahan, and a patient with an extreme phobia of water. Mary's fear of water controlled her life and kept her from daily activities. She was unable to take her children to the beach and was unable to drive near the ocean; she grew fearful when it rained, and could not even withstand the sight of water on TV. She had vivid nightmares involving water.
Dr. Callahan and Mary had been working on this problem together for over a year. Finally, Mary worked up the courage to sit within sight of the pool at Dr. Callahan's house. Even doing this caused Mary extreme distress, and though she found ways to cope with the intense fear and emotional pain, she did not overcome her phobia. They discussed her problem, and how to overcome it, but without success.
Her fear of being near the water caused Mary stomach pains, a common "gut reaction." Dr. Callahan had recently been studying traditional Chinese medicines, and learning about meridians. Suddenly he had an inspiration. Remembering that there was an acupuncture point for the stomach meridian on the cheekbone, he asked her to tap there, thinking it might cure her stomach pains.
Mary tapped her cheekbone as directed, and this little action changed medicinal history! The response seemed miraculous, to both Mary and Dr. Callahan. Her stomach pains disappeared. But even more amazingly, her phobia of water disappeared, too! She ran down to the pool and began splashing herself with water, rejoicing in her newfound freedom from fear.
Based on this discovery, Dr. Callahan began a series of investigations to develop and refine this technique, which he termed Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Gary Craig trained under Dr. Callahan's tutelage in the 1990's, learning the procedures for TFT. As time passed, Craig began to observe some problems with TFT, aspects that he saw were unnecessary complications.
TFT required practitioners to tap on a specific sequence of meridians (called an algorithm) for each different problem. Diagnosing the problem required a technique called muscle testing, wherein the practitioner would measure the relative strength of a muscle, while the patient explored various thoughts or statements.
Craig observed repeated scenarios in which the problem was incorrectly diagnosed or the practitioner tapped out the meridian points in the wrong order, yet the patient was still cured. Based on these observations, he concluded that it did not matter in which order the meridian points were tapped.
Craig developed EFT as a simplified, improved version of the concepts behind Callahan's TFT. EFT has one basic, simple sequence of points to tap, no matter what the situation. It does not require complicated muscle testing. It is simple to administer and easy to master.
Because of this, thousands of people have used EFT for illnesses and to resolve emotional problems. EFT practitioners have studied the techniques and trained to take on more complicated and difficult cases, and these dedicated practitioners report more successful applications daily. More and more people are discovering and exploring EFT. Many are discovering how EFT can change their lives." (www.tryitoneverything.com)
More EFT Websites: EFT Workshops, Seminars and Teleclasses: http://www.eftbyworkshop.cc/eft-workshops.taf Thought Field Therapy Information: Practitioners Disclaimers: EFT is still in its infancy and we have much to learn about its inner workings. In the meantime, it has been made into a user-friendly procedure so you can try it yourself. Please know, though, that some people's emotional and/or physical issues are such that they shouldn't try ANY healing procedure without the presence and guidance of a qualified health professional.
We do not claim that EFT is a substitute for drugs, surgeries, radiation or other conventional medical interventions, and we encourage you to get regular medical exams and talk to your doctor or other health professionals about what treatments are best for you. I am not a physician nor do I have any formal training in medicine, acupuncture or psychotherapy. I am a Stanford-trained engineer with an intense interest in personal improvement. Always use EFT with common sense and don't go where you aren't qualified.
