Meridian Energy Therapies
Meridian Energy Therapies (METs) originated in 1981, when Roger Callahan, a
US psychologist, developed Thought
Field Therapy (TFT)- which had good results treating psychological problems
by tapping on the body's acupressure points. TFT uses sequences of tapping specific
points, in a particular order, for a particular problem, eg. anxiety, phobias, physical
pain, trauma, addictive urges, depression, anger, shame & embarrassment,
obsessions/compulsions.
"Energy Psychology"
or Meridian Energy Therapies, are continuing to evolve, and the original
Thought Field Therapy has been further developed by Gary Craig, into a simpler,
more user-friendly tapping routine, known as
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT),
which is clamed to be effective at
treating anxiety, phobias and other various psychological disorders swiftly, gently and
very effectively.
Meridian Energy Therapies use the Discovery Statement, "The cause of all
negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system". When
experiencing the emotion, whilst using one of the METs, we can correct the
energy flow. Tapping on the body's acupressure points - the points
at which the main meridian energy lines are close to the body's surface - affects the energy flowing through
those meridians. Tapping on one meridian also impacts on the others, as they are all
inter-connected.
EFT is easy to use and learn, and can be done by anyone at home,
for use in their own personal development. Individuals are encouraged to seek the
help of a qualified MET Practitioner for specific psychological problems.
