Isaiah 61:3 Ministry

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. (Isa 61:3 KJV)

What is EFT™ or Tapping?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques™), sometimes called "tapping", is a somewhat new approach to uncovering and helping to relieve emotional (and spiritual) strife and upset. It has been compared to psychological acupuncture, without the needles. It can also be called a relaxation technique or energy therapy that helps you think more clearly about your problems. That makes it easier for you to make better decisions; as well as having increased peace of mind.

You can use it as a 'self-help' tool, or alongside a coach / teacher or another professional. It may appear a little strange or odd, and it also seems to go against some of the 'conventional wisdom' about psychology and related topics. But don't let that stop you from trying it. Results generally come very quickly; but not every issue results in a 'one minute wonder'.

EFT™ was derived from Thought Field Therapy

EFT was developed as an adaptation of something called 'Thought Field Therapy' (TFT), which was developed by Roger J. Callahan, Ph.D. (See his book: Tapping the Healer Within.) image of book Tapping the Healer Within

Gary Craig then developed EFT, as an easier and less costly approach to TFT. I found Gary's web site after reading Dr. Callahan's book, and having become somewhat frustrated with the different 'formulas' or 'tapping sequences' and trying to figure out which one fit, since I was only getting partial relief using the formulas in the book.

How does it work?

I'm not a scientist, so this is just a layperson's explanation. I am also not a medical doctor, please do your own research.

If you have ever found yourself rubbing your forehead or temples when you're upset or tired; or impatiently drumming your fingers on a table while you're waiting for something, you've been using the principles behind EFT without being aware of it. What EFT can do is allow you to be more aware and specific, to more easily resolve whatever issue(s) you're working with.

We all have nervous system 'pathways' or 'meridians', and EFT has a person tap (gently but firmly) on certain easy-to-reach points where these pathways are close to the skin's surface, related to those used in acupuncture. You do this while you are thinking about whatever the issue or past occurrence may be that brings about the negative emotion, or feeling. Sometimes all you will have access to is the negative emotion or feeling, and tapping on that may bring to mind a specific incident. Having a specific incident in mind isn't required, though it is generally the fastest way to get to the root of an issue. The goal is to make it as painless as possible, on the way to finding relief.

There are some who say that one's thinking determines one's emotions, (those who advocate 'change your thinking, change your life') and to some degree that's possibly or probably true. But the more I work with EFT, the more I believe that one's feelings or emotions impact one's thinking and behavior as well. In fact, advertisers, politicians and others will frequently try to manipulate a person's feelings or emotions so that they'll buy their 'solution'.

Some benefits of using EFT tapping

The introduction to the EFT instruction manual says this: You will, indeed, develop the ability to discard your fears, phobias, traumatic memories, anger, guilt, grief and all other limiting emotions. And it won't take years and years of painstakingly slow and financially draining sessions either. Often, even the most severe negative emotions vanish in minutes.
