For versatility, EFT is the technique to know. This is an amazingly simple yet effective technique. It can be used anywhere and at anytime for all kinds of things and to use it you don't need anything but a basic knowledge of how to perform it. Pretty awesome advantages I would say!
What is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)?
EFT is a gentle tapping technique used to release blockages in the body’s energy system. It could be considered to be a cousin to acupuncture and acupressure. Through the body run energy meridians (or pathways). Acupuncture and acupressure work to release the blockages in the energy pathways by working with various points along the meridians. EFT also works with these pathways through tapping on these meridians to release blockages.
What can EFT be used for?
Try it on everything - phobias, addictions, traumas, depression, pain management, emotional issues - to name just a few. It is great for releasing performance anxiety and building confidence. There is no limit to the possibilities.
Why Use EFT?
It often works when nothing else will.
It can be used easily for yourself without the need of another person although there are times when a second person can give valuable aid and input.
It is cost-free (except for maybe ink and paper) unless you choose to spend money for learning purposes or for specific programs.
The basics can be learned in a short amount of time and put to use immediately.
It can be taken anywhere because the technique is carried in your memory.
Children can easily learn the technique.
It can be used anywhere, at anytime (within reason).
Much is learned about oneself in searching for answers and what to tap about.
It is empowering and freeing. The potential that lies within can be opened up.
Why you wouldn't use EFT?
You might feel the disturbing urge to let go of those problems in your life that are bringing you so much attention.
You might move out of your comfort zone and change. Change can be scary.
You might feel a little silly when first starting to use the technique.
No reason not to use EFT comes to mind. All of the above listed concerns center around fears that can be overcome by tapping.
Another great place to learn the points with tutorials is found at Dr. Mercola's site. He teaches a shortened version of the full technique. Dr. Mercola's Manual
