Meridian Tapping Techniques History
The history of meridian tapping began with Dr. George Goodheart, a leading chiropractor who found he could use acupuncture points beneficially for physical conditions by just "tapping" on them (no needles were needed!).
An Australian psychiatrist, John Diamond, M.D., then took this discovery a step further. He began using verbal affirmations as the patient was stimulating the acupuncture points. This was a major step forward as it introduced a psychological tool into the process. But still the treatment method lacked a cohesive "engine" to drive it forward with real effectiveness. That engine was supplied by Dr. Roger Callahan, an American psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders.
Dr. Callahan's contribution was immense and has been well documented. Through his interest in acupuncture and his awareness of the use of the value of tapping on acupoints, he made a key discovery upon which all later meridian tapping methods are based. Callahan found that if a person is focusing on a specific fear at the time they tap, that fear can be removed, often permanently. He developed his discovery into a complete system and concluded that there was a correct tapping sequence for every emotional issue, and that this could be determined for each individual through the use of muscle testing. He called these tapping sequences "algorithms" and his treatment became known as Thought Field Therapy, or TFT.
Dr. Callahan's work, although brilliant and groundbreaking, was however quite complex and difficult to master because different algorithms were required for each one of the numerous disorders studied.
The next step was the creation of simplified versions of Callahan's technique. These were known as "single algorithm techniques" (i.e. they did not require diagnosis or muscle testing). Dr. Pat Carrington�s early method, Accutap, was one of the very first single algorithm methods, predating EFT by about seven years and there may have been others who devised similar adaptations of Callahan's method. Then, in the 1990's, quite independently of any former single-algorithm methods, one of Roger Callahan�s pupils, Gary Craig, unveiled a major development of the meridian tapping techniques which he called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Today his single algorithm method, EFT, is a lead tapping technique.
Meridian Tapping Techniques are now developing beyond EFT, TFT and others as highly skilled experts in these methods create tapping approaches that are evolving away from traditional EFT and TFT, and which are often more innovative in their approach. This is an exciting development that promises to grow in friendly cooperation with all tapping techniques, as all these methods become better known throughout the world.
Thanks to Dr. Pat Carrington, EFT Master, for this brief history.

Matrix Reimprinting with EFT Master Karl Dawson
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. Greg Braden calls it the 'Divine Matrix' - the force that links all of creation. Rupert Sheldrake refers to it as 'morphic fields' and 'morphic resonance', and suggests a living, developing universe with its own inherent memory. And it is this inherent memory within our fields that Matrix Reimprinting helps to change. You can find more details in the Summer 2008 edition of the magazine.
Reiki created by Usui
Reiki comes from Japan and is an ancient healing art. It was discovered by Mikao Usui in the late 1800's. Mikao Usui was a devout Buddhist, who, in his intense desire to understand and work with methods of medicine and healing, developed Reiki. Reiki translates into: "Universal Life Energy". Reiki's initial stages can be learned by anyone regardless of their personal philosophy and/or spiritual belief system. Through the initiations of Reiki comes a "re-awakening", a re-opening of the stronger healing potential that lies within us all. At "Just Stretch Yourself" we run a number of Reiki workshops at all levels and we adhere to the original Usui teaching process. To find out more please google the word Reiki in the search engine.
