http://positivetranceformations.com.au/blog/eft-what-is-it/ Most of us instinctively know the soothing power of touch to calm and steady emotions. EFT combines tapping key areas of the body in a set order in combination with positive affirmations, making it particularly potent. It is suitable for use in conjunction with hypnotherapy when treating a range of problems.

1. EFT EMOTIONALLY FOCUSSED
THERAPY AND ITS BENEFITS

2. EFT combines the instinctive use of
touch with the principles of
acupuncture.

3. Instead of using needles to stimulate
and manipulate the body’s Chi, an
EFT practitioner uses the fingertips
to stimulate the body’s meridians
and produce the desired effects.

4. In fact, the EFT practitioner will
direct you where you can tap at your
own body, as EFT is easier than you
think and, furthermore, some of the
key meridian spots are in rather
sensitive areas, such as in the
armpit, which are most of us are
more comfortable touching ourselves
rather than letting another person
touch.

5. Now, we all know that the mind and
the body work together and it’s hard
to draw a hard and fast line between
them.

6. What happens to the brain affects
the body and vice versa.

7. When we untap a bad memory, this
often stimulates a flow of negative
energy, which we perceive as a
negative emotion such as stress,
anxiety, grief, anger and so forth.

8. EFT aims to stimulate the right
meridians and release positive
energy that will swamp the negative
energy and thus overcome the
negative emotion.

9. The key areas are tapped in a
predetermined sequence, and each
place is tapped seven times during
one round of the sequence.

10. As well as using pressure on key areas
of the body, EFT also uses positive
affirmations.

11. We’ve discussed the power of positive
affirmations and how they work to
change thinking.

12. But when a positive affirmation is
used in conjunction with the power
of touch, you’ve got a potent
combination.

13. You’ve got both the mind (the
repetition of the affirmation) and the
body (touching or tapping on the key
areas of the body) at work to dispel
the negative energy.

14. People have managed to apply the
principles of EFT in a range of areas,
from counselling to sports
performance.

15. EFT ties in particularly well with the
principles of hypnotherapy, as
affirmations implanted in the deep
part of the mind accessed by a
hypnotic trance are particularly
effective.

16. What’s more, hypnotherapy often uses
regression to explore and uncover
negative memories, and using EFT
techniques can help a person get
through the regression and to
release or dispel the negative
emotions triggered by the
experience.

17. Of course, you can apply the principles
of EFT by yourself while fully
conscious – you can even do it at
home!
