EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques.

 

EFT is very effective and easy to learn.

​

What is it?

​

EFT involves tapping on Acupressure / Meridian points on the face and upper body whilst focusing or talking about the problem.  All dis-ease originates from trapped emotions in the body.  By tapping on the meridian points whilst focusing on the problem allows the trapped emotion to release and the body to find balance.

 

How can it help me and my horse?

​

I have found EFT hugely effective in working with horses and their guardians for many and varied reasons. Here are just a few examples of how it can help:

​

• Rebalance fear after a bad fall which has upset you and your horse.

​

• Help with nerves at competition

​

• Help you learn dressage tests

​

• Help with spooking and lack of confidence

​

• Help with fear of riding alone

​

• Help balance herd dynamics (especially on introduction of a new horse or loss of an old herd member)

​

• Helps settle a new horse with a new owner and / or a yard move

​​

• Decision making and end of life care

​​

• To improve mobility

​

• Various behavioural issues and problems

​

​

What else can you use EFT for?

​

EFT has been used successfully around the world for numerous issues including:

• Pain management

• Weight Management

• Depression and anxiety

• Chronic illnesses (Parkinson’s, MS, ME/CFS, Stroke etc.)

• Nerves and Confidence

• Bullying and other childhood issues

• Phobias

• Post traumatic stress disorder ( a lot of work has been done with veterans and also the Philipines Earthquake victims )

• Sports and Performance

• General health and well-being

 

Who can benefit from EFT?

​

EFT is can be used by everyone for a wide range of things from physical and mobility problems through to mental blocks and fear related issues.

 

It's  especially good for people who need ‘something to do’ so for instance it’s great for people who smoke and need something to do with their hands or who would initially struggle to meditate and relax.

​

As well as animals, children can learn and use EFT as its such a simple method in its basic form.  I have worked with children in a local secondary school who I trained up to EFT level 2 so they could help both themselves and their friends with phobias, exam nerves and general worries.  All the children were amazing and produced some amazing case studies.
