Explanation of EFT in “The EFT Course” – A Review
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is taking the world by storm. It is justifiably becoming the most popular self-help method.
One very popular way of learning EFT for yourself or those around you is through Gary Craig’s Original EFT DVDs. The first in this series is the DVD entitled "The EFT Course".
Gary Craig is the founder of EFT. He developed EFT from TFT (Thought Field Therapy). EFT involves relieving negative emotions by the use of the acupressure meridians and some clever psychology. EFT can be used to help any emotional or physical condition.
In "The EFT Course", a full explanation of EFT is given. EFT is a simple formula that anyone can learn. The original format of this is Basic Recipe, which is explained in simple detail in this DVD set. The explanations are clear, and the viewer can simply copy the presenters in a monkey-see monkey-do fashion. There is an equally good detailed demonstration of the Collarbone Breathing procedure, a way of further helping EFT in some circumstances.
The history of how EFT developed is given, which is entertaining and easy to grasp. Many case studies are shown, both in video and audio. This serves as a further demonstration of the technique and how to use it.
It is easy to learn EFT from this DVD set. This is easier than from a book, as it is simpler to mirror the actions of the presenters than to do the same from static pictures in a book.
This DVD set has overwhelmingly more on the plus side than the minus side.
Considering that EFT involves connecting lightly to negative emotions, it is important that this connection is a very loose one. This is explained in the DVD set. However, it is that it is not made crystal clear how important it is not to concentrate vividly on the subject-matter being treated until the treatment is nearly complete.
Another criticism of this DVD set is that the viewer could get the mistaken impression that to do EFT one has to isolate the emotional components of a distressing memory, such and anger or fear. This is unnecessary and could be distressful. In fact, one of the biggest advantages of EFT is that there is no need to dwell upon negative feelings, unlike so many painful talk therapies. EFT is designed to whisk those negative feelings swiftly away, with minimum discomfort.
On the plus side, anyone with any emotional or physical problem can obtain relief very rapidly by using this DVD set. Complementary and allopathic health practitioners can use this DVD set to seriously help their clients.
Doctors, massage therapists, psychotherapists, teachers, sports coaches, and many other professionals can learn a great deal from "The EFT Course".
Even if you have attended EFT workshops, this DVD classic is too valuable to ignore. It really is essential viewing material for anyone serious about EFT.
