THE
METAPHOR OF THE FOREST AND EFT
Gary
Craig uses a metaphor to explain EFT. He states the presenting
problem is similar to a forest with diseased trees. Each of the
underlying specific issues of the problem represents a diseased
tree. At first, the forest is so densely populated with trees
that it seems impossible to find your way out. When you neutralize
each specific negative event connected to the problem with The
Basic Recipe, you are effectively cutting down a diseased tree.
Continue cutting down these trees, and after a while the forest
will have thinned out so that you can walk out of it with ease.
WHAT
IS THE ORIGEN OF EFT?
"The
cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in
the body's energy system."
Gary Craig, EFT Founder
EFT
evolved from a technique called Thought Field Therapy™ (TFT)
developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, a clinical psychologist. Dr.
Callahan discovered this technique while he was studying acupuncture
and the body's energy system. During this period he was treating
a patient who had a severe water phobia. Dr. Callahan noted that
the patient said her fearful feeling was located in her stomach,
so he tapped on the meridian point under the eye that is linked
to the stomach and anxiety. After a few minutes of tapping, she
stated excitedly that the fearful feeling was gone. She then told
him her water phobia was also gone and proceeded to prove it.
Gary
Craig, an engineer from Stanford and a master NLP practitioner,
studied with Dr. Callahan. After several years he created a procedure
that is easy to use which he called Emotional Freedom Techniques
(EFT).
Here
is a brief description of how EFT works: After measuring the emotional
charge of your problem (on a scale of 0-10), you state the problem
clearly and do the Basic Recipe. The Basic Recipe consists of
tapping energy meridians on the body while saying a phrase associated
with the presenting problem. It takes only a minute or two to
do, and the results are often quite remarkable. For a complete
