Emotional Freedom for Success

The Sunday Mail today carries an interesting article about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and the application of this to overcome food cravings, depression, anxiety and emotional issues as well as to achieve career success. This technique was developed by Gary Craig and pioneered in Australia by Dr Peta Stapleton, senior lecturer at Griffith University in Queensland.  Dr Stapleton used the techniques to treat people with bulimia and anxiety.  Her recent research shows that after use of the technique all people in the trial reported that their food cravings disappeared.  Very powerful.  This modality is based upon the meridians of acupuncture and uses a tapping technique while thinking and speaking of the negative emotion that one wishes to clear.

Anyone working on self development will know that managing emotions is one of the most important and sometimes most difficult actions to master. Staying in a state of happiness and holding a positive attitude is always a challenge,  particularly for those who may work in a highly negative environment or have a life history of being pessimistic.  EFT is one possible solution.

Not only is this technique available widely from a number of qualified practitioners, but it can also be learned from the manual available from Gary Craig’s website. I am sure that the generosity in making this information available in such a way will return tenfold to Gary Craig.  Once learned, the technique can be used at any time, anywhere and it is entirely possible to hold yourself in any emotion that you choose.  What a bonus!

From the perspective of success, I use the technique to assist in embedding my positive affirmations. First I can clear any emotional blockages and then establish the affirmation.  Now there is a very powerful tool for personal development.
