A Universal Aid to Emotional and Physical Relief Rapid Release from Personal Issues, Performance Blocks, Addictions & Pain
time focusing on the negative emotions releases emotional (and often physical) pain, sometimes in just seconds. It truly was a miraculous discovery which has dramatically altered the way we see and treat mental and emotional problems. EFT balances the body’s energy flow and re-establishes harmony. As a result negative emotions and even physical pain can diminish and fade very quickly, very often in one session. Complex cases, eg, addictions may take longer to be released. EFT is gentle and extremely effective and can be used on all age groups with no ill effects. Released emotions do not return if properly and expertly treated.

Other ancient civilisations use different names for this energy, ‘prana’ in India, ‘mana’ in Hawaii for example. Without exception they know that this energy is fundamental to every living thing on this planet as its absence means no life. This vital life force is the basis of our energy system just like electricity in our homes. No electricity - no lighting. No chi - no life. Quite often however we suffer from an impairment in the flow of chi/ prana/ mana due to the negative things that happen to us in our life. Removing the ‘log jam’ in the natural flow of chi with its resulting negative emotions will re-establish the energy flow and we feel better.

"There are over 100 genes in your body that are activated by your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Those genes dramatically affect your immune system and your resistance to disease. Those genes can be turned on or off deliberately through thoughts, emotional responses, and experiences that you can effect with EFT. Those genes can be activated within a very short time, as little as three seconds. There is a powerful link between what you are feeling and what happens in your body" Dawson Church
