Root cause of illness •  85% of illnesses have a root cause in stress •  Unresolved emotional upsets and negativity result in

illness, low self-esteem and self-sabotage later on in life, for example –  Heart & Lung disease –  Cancer –  Depression –  Addictions

! Introduction to Emotional FreedomTechniques

Emotional Freedom Techniques is probably one of the most powerful healing techniques inthe world today! It is easily taught by a skilled trainer and extremely empowering for clients.EFT can enable stress relief in seconds and is used all over the world by millions.

Based on discoveries involving the body’s subtle energies, EFT has been proven to be over80% clinically e ective for stress, fears, depression, addictive cravings, weight loss and manyother physical symptoms.

EFT is long-lasting, gentle and usually rapid. There are no drugs or equipment involved and itis easily learned. Once learnt, it can be self-applied.

The basic theory behind EFT is that all negative emotions and behaviors, and many of thephysical discomforts that they cause, are the result of disruptions to your body’s energysystem.

The term ‘energy system’ refers to the meridians used in Chinese acupuncture. These areenergy channels that run throughout your body and through all of your major organs.Acupuncturists adjust their patients’ energy by inserting needles at speci c points along themeridians. EFT works in the same way, but without the needles: instead, the ngers are usedto tap on certain points on the body.

This training is approved by the Global Governing Body, Association of Advancement ofMeridian Therapies (www.ammet.org) and delivered by Vitality Living College. Each of ourtrainers have been personally trained by Dr Rangana Rupavi Choudhuri (PhD) who has over 15years’ experience in the medical, healthcare and personal development eld.

AAMET is the largest professional EFT Association worldwide. Founded in 1999, AAMET has setin place standards of training and safeguards for the public and has been accepted as avoluntary organisation. Therefore AAMET is required to operate on a lawful, not for pro t basisand all committee members work voluntarily. AAMET is set up to promote ethical practice, tosupport its members and forge links with professional organisations. All EFT Practitioners andTrainers registered on this site have had their quali cations validated and have signed up tomandatory CPD & Mentoring and to the AAMET Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Creating a space to use EFT with yourself and othersThe rst step before working with oneself or others is to create a safe space that is non-judgemental, accepting and understanding. Whether you are using EFT on yourself or withothers the same rules apply. From now whether you are self applying EFT or working withothers we will use the term client to refer to the person receiving the treatment andpractitioner to the person facilitating the treatment. The same applies when you are self-applying EFT as we recommend you take on both roles. Consider what is the environment youwould like to create for yourself when you receive treatment. Some suggestions are to be:
