History of EFT

---

A basic EFT application would initially focus on a current issue… for example, a headache. The process would include simple language designed to hold one’s focus, and also to add self-acceptance to the process. For example, someone trying to address a migraine headaches might say: “Even though I have this horrible headache, I deeply and completely accept myself”, while Tapping through the meridian points.

Once you are confident that this initial procedure has provided significant relief, then applying the basic EFT procedure as headaches appear can be very effective. Some people have reported that it has provided permanent relief with their migraines.

If the headache hasn’t vanished after the initial realignment, or if the basic procedure doesn’t provide relief for subsequent headaches, then there is almost always a deeper emotional factor at work.

Advanced EFT application can enhance the results significantly, and is usually necessary for more complicated cases. The best EFT practitioners have learned the techniques available for uncovering core issues, and approaching them with minimal amounts of emotional pain.

Although the basic EFT procedure has shown astonishing relief for a wide variety of symptoms, applying EFT to serious diseases and chronic illness requires advanced experience. If you are experiencing a serious disease or chronic illness, please consult a qualified health practitioner before using EFT and before discontinuing any treatment or medications.
