My work as a counsellor and coach left me looking for something that was more effective than the tools I’d originally been trained to use, something that would help people to get relief from their pain, anxiety, stress, and depression; and that would do so without them necessarily having to go through even more pain to find peace.
I felt it was all very well to have clients tell their story and get another perspective from me, or some insight themselves, and perhaps even some relief in talking about the issue with someone. But how to help them find real relief, real peace, real self-acceptance, and then move on, more resourceful, happier, more in control?
Around 2000, I stumbled, as you do, over EFT Tapping. I tried it on a couple of issues I was experiencing myself, and was amazed at the results I got!
I tried it with clients, and saw them get relief, peace, and self-acceptance at a pace that I’d never seen with talking alone! In fact, traditional talk therapy, by having you retell again in detail the events that caused you distress (that you might have been carrying for years) can in some ways deepen the original trauma.
Energy therapies allow you to get to the heart of an issue and neutralise the emotional charge of it without re-experiencing the whole trauma again – and usually without tears (well sometimes there are a few… and it’s okay, I provide tissues!)
Time and time again I have seen clients go from being completely bound up by an issue, sometimes something they’ve suppressed for years, to laughing about it – no negative charge left – and often in just minutes! And they’re astonished that they’ve carried it for so long, that they were able to release it at all, and that they feel so free when it’s gone. I need to say though, that the longer you’ve carried something, the longer it may take to clear the ripples through your life, but most people do get quite remarkable shifts.
Let’s be clear – the client does their own healing with their own intention and their own touch - I simply facilitate the process. As EFT Founder Gary Craig says, it’s through me, not by me.
I truly believe that the human body is the most spectacularly wonderful self-repairing biomachine in creation, it is pre-programmed to be optimally healthy. And your true intention to be healthy, without subconscious false beliefs creating havoc, can bring you to happiness and health like you’ve never known – up until now.
Why is it so successful? There is some research happening to find out WHY EFT Tapping works – being drug-free there’s not a lot of money available to pay those researchers. I keep up with the results of that research, and from my own reading and experiences with my clients, I have a few of my own conclusions:
Research seems to be indicating that the subconscious mind is not located in the brain, but in the body. EFT Tapping puts a little pulse of energy into your body’s energy system. When you combine that with your powerful thoughts, and let your body use that energy how it needs to use it, we connect to our subconscious in unexpected ways. Memories surface that we didn’t know we had, we see our lives and our beliefs in new ways – sometimes we’re seeing them for the first time. When we shine a light on things that were previously dark, we see amazing change! I think EFT Tapping is a true, powerful, BodyMind healing process.
Best of all, it’s free
