WHAT IS EFT?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a Meridian Tapping Therapy using elements of EMDR, Cognitive Therapy, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Exposure Therapy, and combines them with the Traditional Chinese Medicine meridian system that has been used in acupuncture for thousands of years (except that no needles are used!).
Essentially, EFT takes the emotional intensity out of a negative emotion or past memory so that its power in your every day life is neutralised.
Over 100 papers published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals, including dozens of clinical trials, have demonstrated that EFT is effective for phobias, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, pain, and many other problems.
EFT was created by Gary Craig, a Stanford University engineer by degree and a performance coach by career, having always been passionate about people-oriented professions.
In his search for effective personal development tools, Gary dedicated a significant part of his life studying the science of traditional psychology, spending significant time with therapists and patients. He concluded that the methods used in traditional Psychology were not optimum.
He observed:
To me there was something obviously wrong with the methods used because:
1/ They were not working (at least to my standards)
2/ They were painfully slow.
So I asked therapists and patients: Why does it take so long to do so little?" The answers varied, of course but generally speaking they went something like this:
- "Well, the problem is deeply ingrained"
- It's a deep scar
- We don't know for sure. We are dealing with the mysteries of the mind, you know.
MATRIX RE-IMPRINTING
Matrix Reimprinting is a technique that has evolved from EFT and connects people with their past traumas and negative core beliefs, powerfully transforming them into supportive platforms for their lives.
Our beliefs are the filters through which we view ourselves and the world around us. We have thousands of them which we hold in our subconscious mind. Many will be supportive, but we will also have formed beliefs from negative past events that can create various problems throughout our life and form negative patterns that do not benefit us.
Where conventional EFT is used to take the emotional intensity out of a negative emotion or past memory so that its power in your every day life is neutralised, Matrix Re-imprinting dives into the memory and transforms the core belief that was created at the time, efficiently uprooting the negative filters that have conditioned your life ever since that specific experience.
You can go into any past memory, say and do what you wished you’d said and done, bring in new resources, and create and transform the picture you have in your mind. It is not erasing what happened; it is transforming the negative outcomes it has injected into your mind and into your life, bringing resolution and allowing you to move forward and start living a brighter and more colourful life, free of those dark filters you were experiencing it through.
