EFT Recipe

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a method of using pressure on select parts of the body to relieve stress.  The belief is that stress within the body impacts the emotional and possibly spiritual selves.  I won't knock EFT because I believe in the power of acupuncture (a similar field) and other fields that focus on natural treatments for wellbeing.  

This said, to believe any method can alleviate all types of stress is unlikely.  They are support systems for the mind, but it is the mind that controls healing.  EFT is a physical method to accomplish recap.  Does it work?  Placebos work for some people.  I'm not suggesting EFT is useless, I'm suggesting that it's a tool and we have many tools available to use.  

EFT is inefficient as it doesn't address the core issue, merely the symptomology of the core issue.  There are better methods to achieve the outcome EFT serves.  Better meaning faster and of higher quality.  Being kind to others is such an example, but if everyone used kindness on others (to heal themselves) there's very little profit for those who are trained to perform EFT.  People have the potential to heal themselves when given adequate resources of knowledge.

Here's a recipe for EFT (it's cake): https://www.emofree.com/eft-tutorial/ta ... o-eft.html

wiki says
During a typical EFT session, the person will focus on a specific issue while tapping on "end points of the body's energy meridians".

According to the EFT manual, the procedure consists of the participant rating the emotional intensity of their reaction on a Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) (a Likert scale for subjective measures of distress, calibrated 0-10) then repeating an orienting affirmation while rubbing or tapping specific points on the body. Some practitioners incorporate eye movements or other tasks. The emotional intensity is then rescored and repeated until no changes are noted in the emotional intensity.[1]

So EFT is a fancy term for desensitization? But uses a method adapted for new agers?

Now EFT makes sense to me, thanks for breaking it down MS. Wow. They took a simple and efficient process and added a lot of inefficiency to it... figures.

I agree with the intent of EFT, but not the methods. Lol. I've lost count of how many times I've bitched about inefficiency xD
