ABSTRACT

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is gaining significant recognition as the most effective and the fastest emotional healing and personal growth technique to have been developed. EFT has been coined 'psychological acupressure', in which specific acupuncture or acupressure points are stimulated through a gentle fingertip tapping method. Tapping is practised by a wide variety of therapists and health practitioners in many parts of the world, and by individuals in all walks of life, to reduce stress rapidly. The applications are extensive. Just as EFT is applicable to helping a small child with temper to calm themselves, it is equally suited to the elimination of severe lifelong trauma in an adult. EFT has the potential to alleviate chronic diseases and to ease illnesses and psychological conditions with an efficiency and speed that conventional treatments can scarcely touch. The opportunities offered by EFT in terms of emotional health and healing have made the best therapeutic alternatives seem quite inadequate.
