EFT - Who uses it?

Panthau · March 3rd, 2009, 09:32

Since there is no thread about this technique, i thought im making one.

What do you think about it, who is using it, and if - how (much) do you benefit from it?
Did you bought the whole course or did you only use the free pdf from their website?

Ty,
Pan

I do, every now and then. I downloaded the free PDF course, which is quite good and covers all the basics for "home users" like myself.

There may be better methods in the paid course, who knows...

It works quite well for me tho, the tapping

Good to know! Im still learning the technique (im a bit lazy).
Im curios about it

Ah i saw you´re from the netherlands! My Grandmum lives in Rotterdam, i was there in 2007...10hours driving :-/
I hate the fact that theres no possibility to get vla outside of the netherlands (only this durable vla...beh!) :-(

Why is there no possibility to send pms? :-/

Ha !

A grandmother from Rotterdam, wow !

I have been to Austria a few times myself, I love the country ! ( still get mail from camping Schluga ;-).
I like the Karnten region very much, but I also love Salzburg

I don't know any way to get vla your way

sorry.
It's one of those Dutch things that doesn't seem to be interesting for export.

Unfortunately it is also very hard to get a good typical Austrian Schnitsel here, in 2001 I got totally hooked on Schnitsemmel, and never wanted to try hamburger again while in Austria.

The Dutch butcher sais he makes schnitsels too, but they are yucky compared to those enormous wheels of meat that have been pounded into oblivion like the real deal from Austria

And I saw a t-shirt there that I thought was funny, it said: "There are no kangaroo's in Austria" and I bet that shirt was made for Americans

on-topic, get over your lazyness when it concerns EFT ! it will help you a lot

I've watched youtube videos but didnt really learn much from them. Where do you find the free PDF?

EFT Home - World Center for EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques)

Haha Wiener Schnitzel...yes, i´d miss that one if i´d live in the netherlands. On the other hand, this country scares me...lol
I drove there on a street where the street was about 20cm broader then my car, and on both sides were water! AND it was two-way traffic (ok with some isles here and there)! Felt like Alice in Wonderland lol.

Really a problem, no Wiener Schnitzel for you and no Vla for me. How hard can a life be? :-/

Hehe those americans...they think we dont even have tv over here lol.

Ok, to be on topic...i got over my lazyness and did the EFT technique twice on different problems. Ill repeat that the next days, and will give feedback if it helped me (for example, since im a child im afraid of getting blind, and that still affects my daily life).

Hiya,

Yes, I'm trained as an EFT practitioner.
The free downloadable pdf covers most of the basics for anyone to do EFT, but there's a whole load of stuff that can be learnt from the DVD's available too although some of them do specialise in certain fields. You'll also find that a lot of practitioners no longer use the tapping points on the hand and they find just going from the eyebrow to under the arm is sufficient for most treatments.

I personally now do Freeway CER in place of EFT. The reason... with EFT you aim to get back to the root cause of the issue as much as possible and work on that. If you can't determine the clients root cause you have to work with as far back as you can get, work on that and see what else comes up, hoping that it will 'unpeel the onion' until you can find the cause. With Freeway CER (which also includes other techniques apart from just a meridian tapping routine) it isn't necessary to try and work out the root cause, you can just tap on a recent occurence of the issue e.g. the last time the person felt the emotion, and also any other issues/emotions that arise whilst tapping on that. When you then go and test previous occurences of events or even the root cause if it is known then you mostly find that the treatment has propagated backwards and dealt with that automatically. So, for me and many other Freeway practitioners who have also done EFT, we find that EFT is a wonderful technique, but Freeway allows us to deal with things more swiftly with our clients. I've had some clients I've treated using both techniques and they all say they prefer doing Freeway over EFT.

I guess the main advantage of EFT is that Gary Craig has been very generous in offering the basic technique for free on his website and, if people are willing to give it a go, they will find it works. I know I thought it was a crazy thing when I first came across it, but when it got rid of my spider phobia in a single treatment I was convinced about its effectiveness.

P.S. If any of you are giving EFT a go and get stuck or want any advice, feel free to ask on here and I'll happily advise if I can.
