The Life Force of Water & EFT - written by Nikki Macro from the ATTA clinic

The following principles are basic to Dr Emoto’s work and of relevance for EFT.
1. Water is the life force and it is sensitive to all vibration.
2. The entire universe is vibrating and everything has a unique frequency (sound).
3. The Universe is naturally in balance and harmony, and discord has a destructive vibration.
4. The words “love” and “gratitude” form the fundamental principles of the laws of nature and also of the phenomenon of life.
There is a strong correlation between Dr Emoto’s findings and EFT principles.
Dr Emoto’s pioneering research has provided sound evidence of the impact of thoughts, words and feelings on the body through the medium of water.
Whereas Dr Emoto’s work measures the impact at a personal and global level, EFT provides a therapeutic approach to influence and manage negative emotion at the individual level. Thanks to Dr Emoto’s work, it is now possible to understand more about the wider therapeutic implications of tapping into the meridian system through EFT.

Simon attended the aftermath of the 7/7 London Terrorist attacks as a senior paramedic, and subsequently developed Complex PTSD (C-PTSD). He underwent Emotional Freedom Techniques Therapy (also known as 'tapping') and says 'it changed his life' - here's Simon's story.

"I started to struggle with the day-to-day incidents and my tolerance levels were very low. My symptoms included irritability and poor sleep. I suffered nightmares about that day. They were a jumbled frightening mess. I kept getting triggered by incidents of the day at work and I would go into a trance-like state. I would be more there than here.

My eczema broke out and it was so severe that I had to wear a bandage soaked in an emollient cream. I had an infection in both my legs and needed antibiotics. I also noticed that I had an abhorrence for cooking and eating pork chops. I realised later this was due to the sight and smell of the burn injuries.

I became isolated and introverted and I couldn’t face going out. A friend was in contact with a therapist, and she asked if she could pass on my details. I agreed and a consultant psychotherapist recommended that I begin EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with a therapist who specialised in Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD).

My first session began over SKYPE. I was nervous because I didn’t know what to expect. My EFT therapist explained how the treatment worked and we took things at my pace. I noticed that my eczema started to clear up quickly. My sleep patterns improved. My mood lifted. I felt more able to cope with life and my job. I was no longer triggered by sounds and smells.

During the sessions, there were periods when I had no recollection of what happened. We progressed slowly from the last thing I could remember. That calmed me. I was gradually able to remember more detail.

We kept tapping until I remembered everything and we tapped away all traces of the remaining emotions. We tapped away emotions like fear, rage, anger, disgust, guilt, sadness, grief. I once remarked that I thought I should be feeling something My therapist said, ‘it’s just the tapping doing its job. It doesn’t mean you don’t care’.

At the end of my treatment, my therapist explained that the last part was being able to tell the story of what happened. Up until then we were only using guesses and other ‘psychological distancing’ techniques. I couldn’t believe that I was able to talk about everything and there was nothing, no emotional reaction at all. I was also able to eat pork again!

I had six sessions in all. Since the sessions I have had no flashbacks, nightmares or any lasting problems. I haven’t had eczema since my sessions.

I would recommend EFT to everyone. It’s a life changer.”

Today I proofed the next paper we have coming out - Clinical EFT as an Evidence-Based Practice for the Treatment of Psychological and Physiological Conditions. It will be out soon!

In 2013 Dawson Church published a paper defining Clinical EFT and reviewing published research. It has been viewed or downloaded over 36,000 times, indicating widespread interest in this treatment modality. Here we updated the findings based on subsequently published literature, and propose directions for future research.

Retrieval of 4,167 results resulted in the identification of 56 RCTs (N=2,013), 41 of which were published subsequent to the earlier review, as well as eight meta-analyses.

Results: RCTs have found EFT treatment to be effective for (a) psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); (b) physiological issues such as pain, insomnia, and autoimmune conditions; (c) professional and sports performance; and (d) biological markers of stress. Meta-analyses evaluating the effect of EFT treatment have found it to be “moderate” to “large.” Next steps include determining its impact on cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive impairment; analysis of the large-scale datasets made possible by mobile apps; and delivery through channels such as virtual practitioner sessions, online courses, apps and standardized group therapy.

Clinical EFT is an evidence-based stable and mature method and can be used in primary care settings as a safe, rapid, reliable, and effective treatment for both psychological and medical diagnoses continue to grow 💞
