Emotional Freedom Techniques™
Emotional Freedom Techniques™ (EFT), commonly referred to as “tapping,” is a cutting-edge, self-help tool that is gaining in recognition and followers worldwide. EFT is easy to do yet produces powerful results quickly. EFT has been shown to provide relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and physical diseases. While EFT is newly set to revolutionize the field of health and wellness, the healing concepts that it's based upon have been in practice in Eastern medicine for over 5,000 years. Like acupuncture and acupressure, EFT utilizes the body's energy meridian points. You stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body's own energy and healing power. Your body is more powerful than you can imagine… filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing. With EFT, you can take control of that power. Amazing healing can be achieved with persistent use of EFT, producing a sense of calmness, physical health, and, of course, emotional freedom.
EFT Classes
In addition to the Introduction to EFT class, local Certified EFT Practitioner and Trainer Ann Smith will facilitate classes on using EFT for relaxation, weight release, performance anxiety, difficult people and making/breaking habits. Participants will leave each class with a working knowledge of EFT and will be able to use it in their lives immediately. They will be provided with resources from which they can learn more about EFT and will learn when to consult a practitioner for help. No prior experience with EFT is necessary for these topic classes.
