Medical experts agree that no one knows what causesrheumatoid arthritis, other autoimmune disorders, or chronic pain. They saythere is no known cure or way to prevent Parkinson’s disease, ulcerativecolitis, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, or dozens of other illnesses.Modern medicine doesn’t attempt to cure these conditions. Instead, it managesthem for as long as possible with symptom-suppressing procedures and drugs.
But a growing number of physicians, medical experts, and health carepractitioners believe they know how these illnesses begin and progress. It’snot all in your head, they say – but it is in the muscles and organs that storepast traumas. Releasing stored traumas releases the illness’s underlying causeand helps the body heal from the inside out. The method they use is EFT(Emotional Freedom Techniques), a do-it-yourself acupressure techniquedescribed in a free manual from the official EFT website. (Except taken fromPRWEB)
“At least 85 percent of medical problems are physicalmanifestations of how stress, anxiety, or past traumas are held in andprocessed by the body,” says Los Angelesphysician Eric Robins, MD. “EFT is the best technique for addressing theseissues and clearing them out of the body.”
The speed and effectiveness of EFT is the result oftreating the problem at its source, the imbalances in the body's energysystem. Stressful and traumatic experiences, that are not resolved, leavethe body’s energy system in a state of imbalance, and we experience strongnegative emotions that are difficult to let go of as a result. Once theseimbalances are corrected, the negative emotion quickly shifts into a positiveemotion. EFT does this by having the recipient "tune into" thenegative emotion, tap a set of acupressure treatment points and perform otherenergy balancing exercises to help the mind/body heal itself. This process cantake from five minutes to an hour depending on the number of aspects (separateemotional parts of a feeling or a memory) which need to be treated.
Gary Craig, the Stanford-trained engineer who developed EFT,worked with Vietnam War Veterans to help them resolve some of their traumaticmemories. Says Craig, “in the course of applying EFT, the Veterans experiencedprofound emotional peace for the first time in 20 years. A side-benefit wasthat many of the men reported that their chronic physical pain diminished ordisappeared along with their emotional pain. Soon we were successfully applyingEFT with people who were suffering chronic pain from arthritis, back injury andeven fibromyalgia. Emotional and physical relief tend to go hand-in-hand whendoing EFT.”
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure that used lighttapping instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points.The tapping on the designated points on the face and body is combined withverbalizing the identified problem followed by a general affirmation phase.Combining these ingredients of the EFT technique balances the energy system and appears to relieve psychologicalstress and physiological pain. Restoring the balance of the energy systemallows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. EFT issafe, easy to apply, and is non-invasive.
Many people here in our area have begun using EFT to resolveall types of issues, from stress relief to weight loss. The success rate isvery high and the technique is very easy. It seems to be most effective whenlearned from an experienced practitioner who can offer suggestions andguidance, however, once the technique has been learned the individual is encouragedto continue using the technique on your own for other issues that may arise.
