WHAT’S NEW – the evolution

It was November last year when I chose The Evolution of EFT as a description for the Masterclass theme. The 2007 International Masterclass in Ilkley was not long over. The Australian Masters showcase, at which I presented, was just behind me. As I turned my attention to 2008 I was asking myself the question: “Where do we go from here and how do we do it?” But I did not know just how prophetic the name would turn out to be. What was in my mind then was my passion for seeing EFT used more widely in medicine and education, and in building two-way bridges with both…….

Exclusive Gary Craig Interview with EFT World

We have an exclusive interview with the founder of EFT Gary Craig about his new certification program. The problems that developed from my open-handed and trusting proliferation of EFT have grown quite severe and have begged for resolution. If EFT is to continue to gain stature, we simply cannot tolerate the sloppy and inexcusable work emerging from some of the EFT Practitioners and Workshop listings. One alternative was to eradicate all Practitioner and Workshop listings forever and that, indeed, was considered. It would be much easier for us to operate EFT if we did not provide these opportunities. We chose a middle ground, however, so that these opportunities were maintained, albeit with more rigorous requirements. Those who think we should sit still and do nothing just simply don't understand the depth of the problem……

Fear of Change

Ingrid Dinter

http://www.eftcoach.us

Ingrid Dinter shows us how to tap on the fear of change. Most people are concerned and fearful when change is on it's way. But change only means that something new is coming while something old is leaving. It is up to us to see the potential in the change and create our life in a way that works for us. Today's Tapping Topic is to help you release the fear of change. KP: Even though change is coming and I am NOT OK with that, I allow myself to relax.

“Even though I am scared of change, what if it doesn't work out for me?, I choose to feel surprisingly in control of all that is happening.”……

Connecting with the VA (or not)

Ingrid Dinter

Many EFT practitioners have been inspired by Gary Craig’s DVD “6 days at the VA” to help Veterans who suffer from the trauma of war. However, having the tools and skills to release traumatic memories alone is often not enough. Reaching out to Veterans and building up trust and rapport can often be the biggest hurdle. Denial and trust issues are very powerful symptoms of PTSD. In this article, I want to share some experiences on how we can help Veterans and their families heal. I have a dream…That someday, Veterans and their families, those who understand what war truly means, will be able to go out into the world and teach.

Since my father was a WWII Veteran and Prisoner of War, helping Veterans and their families heal has always been very dear to my heart. After some wonderful successes with EFT for Veterans, I thought of ways to spread the word and make EFT available to more soldiers and their families. My first strategy was to inform the professionals who work with Veterans about EFT. I spent months giving EFT presentations at the VA and National Guard, making phone calls and mailing out Gary’s 6 days at the VA DVDs to Vet Centers, VFWs and other Veterans organizations. I tried whatever I could, and the feedback was positive and appreciative. But other than a few referrals, the doors stayed closed.

This was a frustrating and disillusioning experience, which I know I share with other practitioners. Through my contacts within the military and the Veterans I had he worked with, I learned to understand though, that the military is in many ways a closed community. It is almost impossible for a non-military person, to get access. Not because our methods aren’t valuable enough, but because the system is often slow moving and not set up for quick change. So I realized that I needed to honor that. I decided that if I wanted to help Veterans, it was best not to go through the VA at this time, but to find veterans who are open to EFT and help them release their traumatic experiences. Then they can talk to others about it, and the word will spread quickly from within.

Another important information I received was: that if we can present research data that shows that EFT helps with insomnia, the military would be very interested to hear about it. Most returning soldiers don’t sleep.

Starting an unusual research project So I decided to work with one Veteran at a time and collect data about sleep patterns and other changes, and put them together in a relevant way that will allow those open to new methods to feel safer about them……

Healing Pathways

By Deirdre Brocklebank

In my practice I now combine elements from some of the modalities which I have studied including Reiki, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Shiatsu, crystal healing, Pranic Healing, Kinesiology, Reflexology, EFT and Theta Healing. My main modalities are the last three that I have listed. I have found my clients benefit greatly from the combination of those modalities. They generally experience rapid reversal and positive changes from what they have been experiencing in their lives on all levels, whether physical, emotional, spiritual and/or mental after our sessions.I am currently working with several clients who are experiencing different degrees of depression ranging from paranoia and panic attacks to bipolar. I have had several other clients with the same conditions over the last few years but not in clusters like now. Practising therapists will no doubt identify with the phenomenon when they get several clients with the same conditions all seeking help at the same time……

Relieving rage using EFT for a Transgender person with an abusive mother

Carna Zacharias-Miller, professional EFT practitioner in Florida.

www.missingmother.com

Margaret (not her real name), 65 years old, was sent to me by her nurse practitioner. She suffered from a host of debilitating diseases and intense, chronic anger. She was not really interested in this weird stuff called EFT and probed into my transgender/transsexual attitude before she made an appointment. "You wouldn't believe what I hear, even from doctors." In our first session, I taught her how to do EFT, and then asked if she felt any physical pain right now.....

The emotional changes in people that attract external circumstances

Alina Frank, EFT-ADV, PPCD (Birthworks), Certified Matrix Energetics Practitioner

www.tapyourpower.net

More and more I find that by addressing the psychological reversals as soon as I feel the moment is right in an EFT session, the faster and quicker shifts happen. Psychological reversals (PRs) or secondary gains as they are also known are those hidden reasons why one would not want to let go of their problems and challenges. The most frequent way that I access these little gems is by asking the following questions-

What would you have to do/face/be if you no longer had this condition?

What is the downside of healing from your condition?

What aspect of your condition feels safe and comforting?

How would others around you have to change if you weren’t ill?

EFT Master Karl Dawson's 'Matrix Reimprinting' Technique

At the recent Master's Showcase in Denver, EFT Master Karl Dawson presented his 'Matrix Reimprinting' technique to high acclaim. For those of us that have been studying and training with Karl for some time, there is growing excitement as he begins to get this material out into the wider EFT arena. Matrix Reimprinting changes our relationship to our past by affecting our energy fields. Quantum physics has taught us that we are all connected by a unified energy field. Lynne McTaggart refers to it simply as 'The Field' - a unifying concept that links everything in the universe……..

The Blue Box Technique

By Gill Wightman

www.eastneuktherapies.co.uk

We are always interested in new innervations and welcome any ideas you may have, so that we can share them with our readers. Here is a simple technique from Gillian Wightman that you might find interesting, which was taught to her by Gwyneth Moss, who learnt it from a hypnotherapist and EFT practitioner originally. It’s called the blue box technique where you ask the client to put their high intensity trauma into a box and then tap on the imagery of the box. I find it useful when people know they have a memory but can't access it, often if we start with imagining putting whatever it is in the box, then the imagery of the box seems to deal with the issue and it comes up eventually as something we can work on……
