What is EFT and How EFT Complements Chiropractic in London Ontario?
EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques in London is a healing modality focused on the meridian system. The most commonly used and popular technique that people refer to around EFT complements chiropractic in London Ontario is “tapping” or EFT tapping.
My friend Natalie Macneil, from She Takes on the World (http://www.shetakesontheworld.com), uses EFT with her coaching clients at retreats to help them resolve psychological blocks that are holding them back in their businesses or careers. She was my first exposure to the technique, and she did some tapping with a group of us one evening where I saw people have significant shifts that led to big changes in how they were living their lives. My intrigue around EFT complements chiropractic in London Ontario led me and my husband to take the EFT level 1 and level 2 courses to learn more.
The Meridian System and How EFT Complements Chiropractic Care
EFT uses the meridian system which is commonly referred to in Chinese medicine and is also called the channel network. The meridians are energy highways where Qi (or energy) flows through the body. The meridians are also used in Tai Chi and qigong – other healing arts. There are 12 main meridians, and each meridian has a yin-yang pair.
EFT uses the acupuncture points that are closest to the skin, which do not require needles but can be effectively tapped on with your fingers. Practitioners of EFT work with the meridians similarly to acupuncture, but without the needles.

Origins of EFT
EFT was adapted by Gary Craig from Dr. Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy (TFT). Dr. Callahan was the original founder of tapping on meridians and famously cured a patient named Mary of intense water phobia. Dr. Callahan worked with this patient for over a year with little progress until he had the idea to get her to tap under her eye while thinking of her fear of water. The story goes that Mary ran outside, jumped in the pool, and was cured.

One of the interesting things about EFT is that if you are in a group setting and observing someone receiving an EFT treatment or administering a treatment, there are borrowed benefits. Observers are asked to tap along with the person working through their issues, and this has been proven in multiple studies by Jack Rowe, PhD, where participants’ mental health improved dramatically.
Personal Peace Procedure: Using EFT at Home
If you dive into the world of EFT, we highly recommend doing the Personal Peace Procedure. This entails writing down at least 100 events from your life that you wish you could have skipped and tapping your way through these events over time until you have cleared them all. EFT complements chiropractic in London Ontario by providing this powerful method to clear yourself of emotions that have been holding you back.
Want to learn more?
Although there is a lot on the internet about EFT, caution should be taken with using google as your main resource and training for this technique. If you do use google for EFT, find videos of an EFT practitioner tapping along with a student as these are usually the most professional and high quality sessions rather than youtube videos where anyone has posted what they think a session should look like.
Although there are a lot of resources online with regards to EFT, I recommend going through the resources of AAMET (www.aametinternational.org) or EFT Universe (www.eftuniverse.com)
We highly recommend working with a licensed EFT practioner (There is a directory of practioners here: http://thetappingsolution.com/eft-practitioners/) or taking an EFT level 1 course before you start working on yourself. We highly recommend Alina Frank and Craig Weiner from EFT Tapping Training (http://www.efttappingtraining.com) but you should be in good hands with any AAMET or EFT Universe certified training.
