I t’s simple. It takes minutes to practice.
Healing is miraculous and often in one
session. You can do it yourself. There are no
side-effects. Applying it causes no physical
pain and minimum emotional pain.
The perfect panacea? For our times, yes.
There may come a time when healing will be
even simpler. One may just utter an intention
and bingo – the broken bone sets and the asth-
ma whistles itself out of your lungs.
But for now, this is plenty.
Meera Kotak, a workshop trainer and
co-founder of Energy Centre, says, “About
a couple of months ago I had no sense of
purpose and was going through deep sorrow
and pain. Emotional Freedom Technique
(EFT) has restored my sense of purpose and
joy. Today, I have hope.”
Says Daralyse Lyons, who calls herself the
founder of Emotional Yoga, a combination of
EFT and yoga, “Using Emotional Yoga, I have
recovered from a rampant eating disorder,
obsessive compulsive disorder, depression,
anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder.
My life before finding Emotional Yoga felt
hopeless and I was institutionalised 18 times
at residential treatment facilities for my eating
disorder and associated emotional problems.
The combination of yoga and EFT has given
me lasting emotional freedom.”
Brad Yates, a popular EFT practitioner based
in the US, whose newsletter has over three mil-
lion subscribers, says, “At the first workshop
I took – an all-day class with Gary Craig – it
was the tapping on chocolate cravings that first
hooked me. I’d been a bit of a chocoholic, and
after a minute of tapping I had as much inter-
est in the candy as I did in the foil wrapper
around it.  I knew then that there was some-
thing to this simple technique.”
Nithya Shanti, a young Buddhist monk
turned spiritual teacher based in Pune, who
is also a votary of EFT, shared that recently a
  
young woman came to meet him along with her
mother and brother for help in dealing with the
sudden suicide of her father. It was she, in fact,
who stumbled upon his body hanging from a
fan. After two rounds of practice, she had healed
from the trauma of seeing him dead as well
as the guilt she felt about his death. And her
mother, who was heavily arthritic and had been
unable to lift her hands to feed herself or comb
her hair, was able to lift her hands to her head.
Kshitij Negi, an EFT practitioner based in
Mumbai, was attracted to the therapy because
it helped him to heal from a break-up. “The
love pain would not abate until I tried EFT,”
he said. This former scriptwriter for the Hindi
film industry took to EFT like a fish to water
and later had a wonderful experience of its
healing capacities. A friend had been hospi-
talised with dengue and his platelet count had
slipped to a dangerously low 26,000 (normal
counts range from 150,000 to 450,000). All
day, Negi worked extensively on him using
EFT. “By six I was itching to know the results.
Although it was a Sunday, we got a pathology
lab to open and we took the results. His platelet
count had climbed to 100,000!”
Radically simple
For big issues and for small; for body and for
mind, Emotional Freedom Technique is a
radically simple tool that is bringing health and
happiness to millions across the globe. Indeed,
not since reiki swept through the country like
wildfire in the early ‘90s has there been a
healing technique with so much potential for
self-healing. Unlike reiki, however, it takes just
minutes to practice and is simple enough to be
grasped even by little children.
We live in an age where everything seems
to happen quicker and faster including fame,
wealth, bankruptcy and disease. It is only fit-
ting therefore that healing techniques too
should speed up and enable us to access well-

Psychology that is redefining

Model: Kumar Amlendu workshop on EFT by Jasmine
Bharathan, considered to be one of the
most senior and respected of EFT thera-
pists in India, and was amazed to discover
how quickly traumas, fears and physical
afflictions lifted.
One of the participants, Bina Gehi, a fash-
ion designer, complained of a severe shoulder
and neck pain that had been afflicting her for
the last three years. After ten minutes of tap-
ping with Jasmine, who addressed both the
physical symptoms as well as the underlying
emotional contributors, the pain had com-
pletely lifted. Bina could not stop smiling for
the rest of the workshop. When last checked
within days of going to press, she was still free
of the pain.
   july 10
Another participant, Manjushri
Dandekar, was so traumatised by the che-
motherapy treatment for her breast cancer
that she had a horror of even passing a hos-
pital, let alone visiting one. Within a few
minutes of tapping, the smiling Manjushri
confirmed that her fear had been released
by about 90 per cent.
Redefining psychology
Indeed, in many ways, Energy Psychology is
turning upside down some of the treasured
precepts of conventional psychology.
Lengthy periods of time are not necessary
to process underlying emotional issues,
major traumas or childhood conditioning.
It can happen in a few sessions or maybe
even in one. Says Brad Yates, “There was
one woman who was able to let go of
the traumatic feelings from a 20-year-
old episode of molestation in a matter of
minutes, and I recall another woman who
was able to laugh at how her husband served
her divorce papers (on her birthday!).”
And yet the very simplicity and ease of
EFT often go against it. Many conventional
therapists still dismiss it as one more New
Age fad. And seekers, used to more mental
methods of processing emotion, give it
the go by because they cannot believe that
anything so simple and so fast can be trusted
to deliver lasting results.
Says Robert E Najemy, a highly respect-
ed spiritual teacher and life coach based in
Athens, Greece, “I had initially rejected TFT
(the source of EFT) for 18 years as I believed
that emotions could not be let go of so eas-
ily. Then after 18 years, I decided that my
approach was not a scientific one and that I
needed to try it before rejecting it. It worked
extremely well – we were able to reduce
or eliminate long-standing emotions and
also physical pain.”

H ere are the points that you need to tap on after checking your
SUD and uttering the set-up phrase three times for what is
called the Full Basic Recipe. Two rounds are needed.
For the short-cut technique, stop at under the armpit.
Tapping sequence:
Using your index and middle fingertips, tap gently, but firmly, five
to seven times on each of the points give below as shown. Remem-
ber to repeat the reminder phrase once at each of these points as
you tap.
• Eyebrow point is located just below and inside the inner starting
edge of your eyebrow.
• Side of the eye is the bony part of your eye socket adjacent to the
outer edge of your eye.
• Under the eye is located below the centre of your eye.
• Under the nose is the area between your nose and upper lip
• Chin refers to the indented area just below your lower lip.
• Collarbone actually refers to the end of the collarbone, to the
immediate left and right of the hollow at the base of your throat.
• Under the arm is the area on your side, about three to four inches
below your armpit, in line with your breast.
• Side of thumb, near base of nail
• Side of index finger near base of nail.
• Side of middle finger near base of nail.
• Side of little finger near base of nail
• Karate chop point at the side of your palm
• Crown of the head or CH is located at the apex of your skull, half-
way between an imaginary line joining the two ears. Be gentle at
this point.
The gamut procedure is followed in between the two tapping rounds.
The gamut point is located just above the midpoint of the knuckle
between the little and ring finger. Whilst tapping this, do the following:
• Close your eyes
• Open your eyes
• Look down and towards the right, keeping the head steady
• Look down and towards the left, keeping the head steady
• Roll your eyes in a full clockwise circle
• Roll your eyes in an anticlockwise circle
• Hum any song for two seconds
• Count rapidly from one to five
• Hum any song for two seconds again

who had a troubling eczema for 15 years.
The itch, oozing and irritation immedi-
ately subsided within a couple of rounds
of tapping. After three weeks of daily tap-
ping rounds, his entire skin was restored to
a completely healthy state. Skin problems
are challenging and this was a miraculous
recovery in my opinion.”
EFT was founded by Gary Craig, a
Stanford-educated engineer, performance
coach and ordained minister who was
concerned by the slow, expensive and
often ineffectual treatments available for
emotional and mental healing. With an
engineer’s zeal, he set out to overhaul the
system and soon came in contact with
Thought Field Therapy (TFT), which is
the source of EFT.
TFT was founded by Dr Roger Callahan,
a clinical psychologist. Dr Callahan, an acu-
puncture enthusiast, was once seeing a patient
when she complained of stomach pain. Dr
Callahan suggested that she tap under her eye,
which according to acupuncture, is one of the
meridians governing the stomach. When she
did so, not only did her stomach pain dis-
appear but so did her fear of water, which
fact she dramatically illustrated by jumping
straight away into the pool.
The astute doctor recognised that he was
on to something and eventually came out
with TFT. However, the therapy is slightly
cumbersome, requiring tapping on many
points and also following it up with muscle
testing. Gary Craig streamlined the pro-
cess and came out with a compact 13- or
14-point tapping schedule, which is also
accompanied by an affirmation.
What is EFT?
EFT, like acupuncture, believes that energy
flows through meridians within the body.
Negative emotions can cause energy blocks

within these pathways, resulting in anxiety,
stress, phobias and eventually physical ail-
ments. By gently tapping on the acupressure
points along the meridians and focus-
ing on the negative emotion, the energy
block is removed, energy moves freely
and the patient experiences emotional
and physical relief.
Here is how EFT works. Assume you have
a problem with stress. While tapping on the
side of your outer palm you not only state
the problem but you also make an affir-
mation like so: “Even though I am feeling
very stressed, I deeply and completely love,
accept and forgive myself.”
This is called the set-up. Although there
are many ways of phrasing the set-up, the
above one is a good default statement and
can be used for almost all situations. After
doing this three times, you tap on a few
points on your face, under the arms and on
your fingers. (see pictures for exact points)
This tapping is accompanied by a statement
of the problem, called the reminder phrase,
  
3 4
7 8
which in this case is the stress. The reminder
phrase therefore goes: “Feeling stressed”.
Often, just one round offers substantial
relief but for full relief one must keep tap-
ping until the SUD (intensity of the problem
measured) is zero. That is it. The procedure
takes about a minute a round, which probably
makes it one of the quickest therapies going.
The aspect that appeals most to me and
that drew me to the therapy when I first
heard of it is the set-up phrase. What a com-
forting statement to affirm to oneself! And
how grounded. One is stating the fact of
the matter – how one feels but one is also
at the same time extending an acceptance
of oneself, and by extension, the problem.
A crucial deal fell through for a friend of
mine. I encouraged him to tap on the prob-
lem as well as on his disheartenment. After
doing a round he slowly admitted that he had
not even acknowledged to himself the deep
hurt he had felt when the deal fell through.
Most of us are reluctant to admit consciously
to ourselves what we are actually going
july 10
 lead ~ story

through. And the seeker, so focused on positivity, is

often deeply reluctant to look at his reality
squarely in the face.
Since almost all emotional and physical
problems are a consequence of non-acceptance,
the set-up phrase actually primes us to let
the problem go.

Why it works
There is the simplicity of genius in the way EFT
is put together. Tapping involves the body and
the energy system, the affirmation involves the
mind. There is a third process called the 9-gamut
procedure (see box) which is supposed to
address the neurology through a combination of
eye movements, humming to activate the right
brain and counting figures to activate the left
brain. That probably explains its effectiveness.
Says Robert E Najemy, “Tapping on the acupunc-
ture energy points especially on the face, head and
fingers, dissolves the crystallised energy structure
created by our habituated mental and emotional
reactions toward specific events, behaviours or situ-
ations. This allows us to relax, let go, release and gain
access to alternative internal and external reactions
to these stimuli.”
Although as the name suggests, EFT was
meant to heal emotional issues, it soon became
clear that when the emotional cause was lifted,
many physical ailments were healed. “Try it on
everything” was Gary Craig’s breezy advice and
the website www.eftuniverse.com has innumer-
able case histories dealing with physical cures.
Among the most popular categories are pain
management, addictions, weight loss, vision,
allergies, panic/anxiety, asthma, depression,
headaches, dyslexia, ADD-ADHD, phobias, back
pain, blood pressure, and so on.
Dinaz Dastur, a healer who combines EFT
with prayer and her own hands-on heal-
ing technique, shares that when she did EFT
on a client suffering from severe migraine,
she felt such enormous relief that she

  july 10 

 lead ~ story
went to sleep. When she woke up, the
headache was gone.
Kshitij Negi has helped clients recover from
serious physical ailments. Says he, “I once was
approached by a client from the South who
was suffering from a life-threatening blood
disorder. He says, “As we dug deep, issues kept
appearing which were of such magnitude that
she may not have wanted to live. Tapping on
the issues not just helped heal her illness but
the awareness helped her transform her life.
Though living within the constraints of a joint
family, she healed a dysfunctional relationship
with her sister-in-law and also managed to
create more freedom for herself to move out
of the house.”
Cancer patients have been helped to reduce
the pain and discomfort of chemotherapy and
even Multiple Sclerosis patients have found
their pain considerably checked by EFT.
A spiritual tool?
Perhaps because EFT brings together the
body and mind, it ends up tapping at the
door of the soul.
Nithya Shanti became an EFT enthusiast a
few years ago, when he dissolved an issue he
had with someone within a few minutes of
doing EFT. Says he, “I had meditated on
this problem for years and yet it did not
leave me. EFT released it in minutes.”
Says he, “Meditation helps you discov-
er your weaknesses and EFT helps release
them. My level of emotional freedom has
dramatically improved through EFT. My

   july 10
No one is promising moksha, but most
practitioners believe that there is little in
the emotional field that EFT cannot heal.
Says Robert Najemy: “I know that it works
100 per cent. If we do not get the desired
results it is because we are tapping on the
wrong issue. Or there is an underlying issue
that needs to be removed first. Or we are
not being specific enough. Or the person
subconsciously does not want to get well.”
Says Sangeeta Bhagwat, “We cannot
address the larger questions of life when
we are overwhelmed with emotional or
physical challenges. Clearing these with
regular tapping automatically brings in a
more spiritual interest and maturity in the
person. EFT can also be used for deepening
meditation and increasing awareness, peace
and compassion.”
In her book on EFT, Emotional Freedom
Techniques (Wisdom Tree), Sangeeta
Bhagwat has written a section called SCORE
with EFT where she offers a format to help
the reader do a SWOT analysis on them-
selves, create set-up affirmations for each
of these areas and to do a daily 10-min-
ute session on them. This, in effect, would
be a personal growth practice, helping in
time to strengthen the strengths and weaken
the weaknesses.
Personally, I have found that practising
EFT over the last few months has made
me much more comfortable with myself
and with my emotional states. Whereas
earlier I would affirm tirelessly, “I am
whole, perfect and complete” with EFT
I began to say, “Even though I am not
whole or perfect or complete, I deeply
and completely love and accept myself.” I
also found it useful to combine EFT with
awareness practices. There was a period
when I practised dropping expectations
that I should feel anything other than what I
 lead ~ story

actually felt. Tapping along with these state-

ments made them go deeper, and always gave
me a sense of release.

Phenomenal popularity
It is little wonder then that EFT is spreading
at almost lightning speed across the globe. For
a technique that has been around for only 15
years, its popularity is phenomenal.
According to Dawson Church, who looks
after the website www.eftuniverse.com, “Various
researchers have produced estimates suggest-
ing that there are at least 5 million people
worldwide who know or use EFT, and perhaps
twice that number.”
And an informed estimate places the num-
ber of EFT therapists to around one lakh. India
itself has a large number of practitioners and the
therapy is gaining ground rapidly.
One might ask why one should go to an EFT
practitioner when one can practice the therapy
oneself. To this the answer is that there may be
some complex or long-standing problems you
are unable to resolve yourself. That is when you
turn to a therapist. At the same time, the EFt
community makes it clear that for serious men-
tal disorders such as schizophrenia it is always
better to go to a psychiatrist.
Apart from its simplicity, speed and effec-
tiveness, one of the reasons for EFT’s rapid rise
lies in founder Gary Craig’s unusual generosity.
Instead of clamping a TM on it like most founders
(especially in the US) do, Gary set EFT free into
the world. He set up a website called www.emo-
free.com where he put down all his knowledge.
A free manual to help people learn EFT online
was downloadable and he encouraged both lay-
people and therapists to experiment freely with
it. Gary also brought out a free weekly newsletter
to update users on EFT’s unlimited potential. The
result has been an active and dynamic community
of EFT users who share their resources, air their
mistakes and bond.

  july 10 

lead ~ story
Books, and DVDs on the subject are
numerous as are free videos. Robert
Najemy’s EFT book, Free to be happy with
Energy Psychology, is considered to be one
of the best of its kind.
The road ahead
Practitioners and therapists dream freely of
fresh heights for this small wonder.
Says Robert E Najemy, “I hope more
and more people will learn and use it
and it becomes a major instrument for all
psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, social
workers, body workers, healers and other
health professionals. I hope it is taught in
elementary school as a means of dealing
with fear, anxiety, hurt, anger and other
negative emotions. I hope it is used by all
executives, entrepreneurs, artists, scientists
and other creative persons for removing
obstacles to inspiration and creativity.”
Says Gary Flint, a US-based EFT prac-
titioner, “Presently, EFT is not recognised
by the American Psychological Association
because there are not enough quality
studies demonstrating its effectiveness.
Once these studies are done, it should
become easily recognised as an approved
treatment intervention.”
Dawson Church refutes him: “EFT is
already making inroads in mainstream
mental health care. I’m part of a team
conducting a Randomised Controlled
Trial of EFT at Walter Reed Army Medical
Center in Washington, DC, an enormous
military hospital. EFT is starting to be used
in a few forward-thinking hospitals and
outpatient clinics.”
For the ordinary user, EFT represents, as
Nithya Shanti put it, a healing tool for any
issue that may visit them.
Shalini Rai, a writer and trainer, used EFT
to heal herself of her difficult relationship
   july 10
with her father. “I used to feel terrorised by
my father’s short temper. I remember that
the family had once gone on a holiday to
Calcutta to visit relatives. I had played a
prank and my father threatened to beat me
up when we got home. I spent the rest of
my holiday cowering at the thought of what
awaited me when I reached home. Nothing
did, because my father had forgotten all
about it, but I have never been able to get
over the fear and resentment it generated.
One session with a therapist healed me so
much that I actually have cultivated a playful
and loving relationship with my father which
I have not been able to in the last 40 years.”
Those who use it in their everyday lives
believe that it acts as daily cleanser, enabling
them to deal with their stuff ongoingly.
Vijayalakshmi Arora, who works in the
UNICEF as a Child Protection Specialist,
says, “EFT has become second nature to me.
It has made me very aware of my thought
processes. For instance, I know when I am
getting angry and am able to stop myself.”
Innovations
Thanks to the laissez faire extended by Gary
Craig, EFT innovations are innumerable.
Everyone uses EFT in their own inimitable
ways. Suchitra Parikh, a yoga teacher, uses
EFT in conjunction with yoga to help work
on the emotional issues of her students. Says
she, “There is a type of yoga called kriya
yoga which is a three-step process to over-
come klesha (emotional states). When I
combine EFT with kriya yoga, I find that
the results are faster. In kriya yoga we sug-
gest that the yogi shift from a negative state
to a positive one and eventually to a neu-
tral state. This is an intellectual method but
when accompanied by the naming of the
emotion, the affirmation and the tapping,
I find that people calm down faster.”
AB_Pustak Mahal full page.indd 6 6/23/2010 3:23:26 PM
lead ~ story
Says Sangeeta Bhagwat, “I describe it to be
like water – it blends with any other method
or healing. I combine it with sound, touch,
visualization, healing essences and have also
developed many different methods and
metaphors for framing the affirmations.”
Even as EFT seems set to storm the
world, its founder, Gary Craig, has quiet-
ly withdrawn from the scene a few weeks
ago. The contents of his website www.
emofree.com, have been transferred to
the new website www.eftuniverse.com
run by Dawson Church. His final words:
“My retirement is now a reality. The past 15
years resulted in an extraordinary journey
for all of us and, with support from the vast
majority of you, our EFT groundswell has
been impressive.  I will watch with interest
   july 10
to see what you do with it from here.”
Dawson Church is gung-ho about its future,
“I expect that as information spreads about
the very rapid improvements EFT produces
for depression, which is the second-most-
costliest condition, and pain, which is the
costliest, governments and organisations will
adopt it as a frontline primary care interven-
tion. I believe we’ll see more EFT in primary
care in 2011, and a tipping point, where it
becomes the ‘new normal’, in 2012.”
So be it.
