Why such dramatic relief?: EFT aims at two vital causes of pain that are largely outside the medical approach. This is why EFT often works for pain relief where nothing else will.

Cause #1 - Disrupted Subtle Energies: It has long been known that subtle energies circulate throughout our bodies and that the free flow of this energy can be vital to our health. Interrupt this energy and the result can be pain and disease. Stop it altogether and you may be headed toward death. Eastern health practices have been based on this concept for over 5,000 years. Einstein's findings also relate to our bodies being composed of energy.

It should be no surprise, then, that repairing any disruptions in these subtle energies can lead to symptom and pain relief. Fortunately, EFT allows even beginners to improve this free flow by stimulating (tapping on) certain "release points" on the body.

Cause #2 - Negative Emotions (Anger, Trauma, Fear, etc): It is a well established medical fact that our emotions trigger varying chemicals in our bodies. Joyous emotions can produce healing chemicals while negative emotions can create disease causing chemistry into our systems. For example, you may be familiar with how stress might contribute to ulcers or high blood pressure. We suggest that negative emotions may be a major cause of pain too. We have seen evidence of this repeatedly as pain subsides once negative emotions have been addressed with EFT.
