Emotional Freedom Technique Provides Side Benefits in Groups

Recently I have worked with two separate groups in multiple-week tele-class series. In both classes we utilized Emotional Freedom Technique. EFT is a wonderful tapping technique that accesses the body’s electro-magnetic field by tapping points on the body that correspond with the acupressure/acupuncture meridian system. It is used world-wide now by practitioners, and taught to their clients, in order to release physical, emotional, psychological pain caused by emotional trauma.

In the recent series of classes I first taught the process to participants, then we identified a topic to focus on. We identified the following issues and worked on them together:

• Resistance to participating in regular physical exercise
• Constricted breathing / breathing problems
• Reluctance to letting go of/purging accumulated items, stuff, clutter
• Blockages to losing weight / eating a healthy diet only when hungry
• Procrastination or confused thinking
• Others

There was great success in releasing people’s charge on these issues. And, what was also exciting was the fact that additional issues got resolved. This always happens, although often it isn’t realized when underlying related issues or even unknown issues resolve as people work in unison on a focused topic.

In energy work such as EFT one need not know the initial cause of an issue. Also, an exact title for the emotion being felt is not needed as long as an emotional charge is felt. It is the feeling and charge that causes physical pain, psychological blockage, emotional unrest, and that is what is released.

In a group setting, when a single topic is identified for focus, some people either don’t have real charge around this topic to begin with, or they release their charge before others. In participating without any more of their own charge on the topic of focus the technique automatically goes to that person’s next priority energetic block or a related issue to that of the group focus. Either way, all who participate end up being freed of energetic blockages and they benefit. When somebody does extensive Emotional Freedom Technique work with others they may notice that their food allergies have disappeared or that other blockages in their lives have disappeared. They may be surprised at first, but then it makes sense to them that in a process they thought they were performing for the good of someone else’s issue, they, too benefited in ways very pertinent to their own needs.

What a wonderful gift we have in these easy-to-learn, life-changing energetic techniques!!
