What is TFT and EFT?
TFT/EFT can be described as acupuncture for the psyche.
TFT was developed about 20 years ago by Dr. Roger J. Callahan, Ph.D. Dr. Callahan discovered that by moving the body's energy in specific ways, distressing emotions could by eliminated. TFT/EFT combines elements of acupuncture, Chinese medicine, applied Kinesiology, Cognitive Therapy and psychoanalysis.
It is a new discovery that has provided thousands with relief from pain, diseases and emotional issues. Simply stated, it is a unique version of acupuncture except you don't use needles. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips. The process is easy to memorize and is portable so you can do it anywhere. It launches off the statement which says...
“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.“
And because our physical pains and diseases are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true...
“Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.“
This common sense approach draws its power from time-honoured Eastern discoveries that have been around for over 5,000 years and Albert Einstein, who told us back in the 1920 that everything (including our bodies), is composed of energy. These ideas have been largely ignored by Western Healing Practices and that is why TFT/EFT often works where nothing else will.
What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
The underlying principles of TCM are very different from traditional Western notions about health, illness and the workings of the body.
The ancient Chinese proposed that every living thing is sustained by a balance of two opposing forces of energy, called Yin and Yang. Together, they make up the life essence, or Qi - a type of energy that flows through the body via invisible channels called meridians. Half of certain organs and meridians are governed by Yin and the other half by Yang. When Yin and Yang are out of balance in the body, this causes a blockage of Qi and a subsequent illness. Yin and Yang imbalances can be caused by stress, pollution, poor diet, emotional upsets or infection. For diagnostic purposes, Yin and Yang are further subdivided into interior and exterior, hot and cold, deficiency and excess.
The TCM philosophy proposes that everything including organs of the body - is composed of the five elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The herbs are similarly classified into the five tastes - sweet, salty, bitter, pungent and sour - which correspond to the five elements, for example, since the skin is a metal element Yang organ, it would be treated with a pungent herb.
Traditional Chinese Medicine involves one or of the following therapeutic tools:
- Acupuncture (see above)
- Chinese Massage - a form of manual medicine dating back almost three thousand years.
- Qi Gong (exercise & energy healing techniques, meditation)
- Chinese herbal medicine
