The Meridian Tapping Techniques (MTT) encompass a multitude of tapping techniques and/or algorithms such as Emotional Freedom Techniques, Thought Field Therapy, to mention some best known techniques. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) represent a healing system based on years of continuous search done by Gary Craig, the founder of EFT. The techniques stem from Dr. Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Dr. Callahan developed a series of energy algorithms as adjunct forms of intervention to psychotherapy. EFT can relieve/reduce/eliminate emotion-based ailments/disorders by tapping on the body’s energy points located on the body’s energy meridians. In addition to mechanical tapping, EFT include eye movement and verbal/vocal cues that access both brain hemispheres; they rely on the practitioner's advanced intuition (i.e., intuitive diagnosis), on mental metaphors and reframing and, oftentimes, on surrogate muscle testing. The main idea of EFT is that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. There is relatively little emotional suffering involved with EFT, and the techniques are relatively painless. In fact, very few people report discomfort when using EFT. These techniques have been used for a multitude of illnesses and disorders, trauma, addictions, relationship issues, children’s issues, school, sports, sexuality. |
The Centre uses EFT-based exercises in conjunction with hypnosis, mostly for desensitization, breaking habits, interrupting/modifying thought patterns, stress, memory improvement, to mention just a few. According to Gary Craig, EFT can be used for any and every unresolved emotional issue. A growing number of therapists are adding EFT to their practice due to their immediate, dramatic results. For example, Dr. Patricia Carrington's Choices Method is a highly effective version of EFT (this technique is now called the MTT Choices Method), that is also endorsed by Gary Craig. Recently, versions of EFT have been used with the Matrix Reimprinting technique, created by Karl Dawson. Matrix Reimprinting is an EFT-based approach that uses principles from Quantum physics and Epigenetics, and theories such as Heartmath, Meta-medicine, New German Medicine, The Field, Morphic Resonance, The Journey and NLP. Also, practitioners in the medical field developed the META-Medicine®, an integrative healing approach that uses CT scans to locate the trapped energy in our body. Once these energies have been located by a doctor (both in the ailing organ and in the brain), the EFT practioner proceeds with EFT and Matrix Reimprinting (or just EFT).
