Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an tapping process developed by Gary Craig that works with the mind-body energy system to eliminate all kinds of emotional, mental and physical distress. It’s often described as a needle free version of acupuncture. EFT is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health and has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will. I was exposed to EFT through several sources and I have found it very helpful. Especially in bringing down the intensity of some old emotional pain.
This video There are two things I really like about this process. First, anyone can learn and use it. You don't need specialized schooling for it. And it’s clear Gary Craig is very concerned about helping people as he gives away the basic methods on his site as a free download. After you read the basic instructions, you can perform your first "rounds" of personal tapping in a few minutes. 
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Basic Instructions
As you begin using these techniques, I’d urge you to share these procedures with your physician(s) (even if they may be skeptical) as they may reduce the need for drugs and other therapies. Still as with everything offered here in this site (See Disclaimer), nothing should be considered a medical claim or medical advice and if you are under a physicians care by all means continue with the traditional therapies as well as adding these alternative therapies. It will become clear what is working best for you so that you and your doctor can make those decisions together. 
One of the best tools I’ve found for working with EFT are the Brad Yates tapes/downloads. I downloaded several, put them on my IPOD and use them regularly on breaks and when I feel the need for support. For more information on his technique Click Here!
HistoryEFT is based on the discovery by Dr. Roger Callahan that emotional discomfort is caused by a disruption in the mind/body energy system. Dr. Callahan combined the tapping of acupuncture points with modern techniques (kinesiology) and developed what he called Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Gary Craig was trained by Dr. Callahan and then streamlined TFT into Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).While tapping on acupressure points along meridians, or pathways of energy throughout the body, and being tuned in to a specific problem or issue, the mind/body energy system is "straightened out," and the energy becomes available so we can heal. Anyone interested in helping themselves or others benefits from EFT. Lots of people use EFT - I personally have found it extremely helpful in releasing blocks. And I continually receive information on how effective this treatment can be.
