Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Meridian Energy Therapy is a non invasive therapy which uses meridian points on the body's energy system to assist in removing emotional issues.

The Chinese developed acupuncture, and have used it successfully for thousands of years. Very fine needles are inserted in to certain parts of the body - along the meridians (energy lines) - in order to rebalance the 'chi' or body's energy.

Acupressure (Shiatsu) was developed in which, instead of inserting needles, the practitioner simply applied pressure to the major meridian points to obtain results.

EFT is a meridian therapy, also without the use of needles, The technique was first introduced by an American psychologist, Dr. Roger Callahan, who was also knowledgeable in the art of acupuncture. He stumbled up on it almost by accident. He called his therapy Thought Field Therapy (TFT). It was further developed and refined by Gary Craig, a student of his. He called the treatment Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).

Meridian Therapies are sometimes referred to as Energy psychology or Meridian-based psychotherapy. They work with the body to free undesired patters in the mind, along with associated negative emotions.
