Mind Body Institute of America - Emotional Freedom Techniques

The Mind Body Institute of America is incorporated as a non-profit organization. (501C3 pending)

The acronym EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT is an emotional form of acupuncture in which the fingertips are used to tap and stimulate certain of the body’s energy meridian points while the client is tuned in to the problem (the negative emotion).

We are still learning why EFT works so well. The theory is that "the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system."

The subtle energy that circulates throughout the human body has been largely ignored until very recently by western scientists. As a result, our use of this energy for emotional and spiritual healing has been neglected.

EFT considers a disruption of these subtle energy forces to be the cause of emotional upsets – negative emotions. EFT generates positive results that are FAR beyond those of conventional methods in eliminating negative emotions – emotional trauma and even physical pain. We see the results over and over again every single day.

EFT can provide relief for a very wide range of physical symptoms. The link between negative emotions and physical ailments is now unmistakable; and EFT often provides relief in minutes to emotional and physical issues that have gone unresolved for years.

Gary Craig, the founder of EFT states "I've been doing energy healing work since 1991 and my jaw still drops at the results. I've lost count of the number of phobias, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and physical ailments that have been elegantly relieved (often in minutes) by this procedure. Even though EFT violates just about every conventional belief out there, the results remain remarkable. EFT isn't perfect, of course. We don't get 100%. But it usually works well and the results are sometimes spectacular. It often works where nothing else will".

At the Mind Body Institute of America, our INTENT is to help you resolve those issues that are causing you emotional distress and/or physical pain. EFT is quite gentle and substantial relief is often achieved with little or no emotional pain; and the results are usually immediate and lasting.

Over 5,000 years ago in ancient China, it was discovered that our bodies have meridians or pathways, through which energy (Chi) flows. It was also observed that when there is an imbalance or blockage in the flow of Chi within the meridians, different types of emotional disturbances appear along with their corresponding mental (emotional) issues or problems.

In the last 10-20 years the work of several researchers, most notably Dr. Roger J. Callahan and Gary Craig, has proven that the reverse is also true; that when the energy flow in the meridians is brought back into balance, the emotions are integrated and restored to their natural state of balance.

Incredible as it may seem, every negative belief or negative context that we hold is connected with a corresponding imbalance in our energy system and this resulting negative emotion can and often is carried with us our entire lives, and can result in tremendous emotional difficulty and even related physical pain.

Using the techniques of EFT these negative emotions can be addressed in a manner that is so immediately effective it often seems miraculous in the speed with which the issue is resolved.

Anxiety, stress, fears, physical discomfort and pain disappear and experience indicates there is an 80% chance of the specific issue never recurring. In some cases there may be multiple aspects of the negative emotion that have to be addressed; but once all aspects of the issue are addressed with EFT and cleared - the issue is usually resolved forever.
