The May meeting of the EFT Cafe will focus on Simple Energy Techniques (SET) a an approach that is similar to EFT because it involves tapping on accupuncture points but different in that it doesn’t use setup statements and encourages continual tapping throughout a session. SET was developed by Steve Wells and Dr David Lake in Australia you can find out more about it here.

Many EFTers complain that they have trouble coming up with the correct form of words for the setup statement. SET may be very useful in this case because the setup statement is abandoned completely. Also because tapping can be done continuously without any special wording it would be possible to integrate this way of working into conventional talk therapy just by adding the tapping to what you already do.

This EFT Cafe will be on May 13th between 7pm to 9pm costing just £10. For more information contact me

One of the strangest parts of EFT for newcomers on an EFT Level 1 training is the strange eye-rolling procedure of the nine-gamut process. If the rest of EFT looks strange, this part looks very strange indeed. The eye-rolling part of the nine-gamut procedure is designed to take advantage of the way we use our eyes to engage as much of the person’s nervous system while the tapping as possible.

Students of NLP are familiar with eye accessing cues,the idea that people move their eyes to help them access different thinking processes. For most people looking up to the left helps them access visual memories, looking down to the right helps them to tune into their feelings and so on.

Although it my seem strange, using these eye movements is a part of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapy which is proving very effective for resolving traumatic memories and is now entering the therapeutic mainstream.

I recently attended an Integral Eye Movement Therapy training with Andy Austin (which I highly recommend). IEMT is his formulation of an eye movement therapy in which the therapist puts the eye movements to very good use.

IEMT and EMDR require quite a bit of training however the principles of using eye movements are quite simple and I’ve been working on combining some of these eye movement routines with EFT tapping to enhance the results.

We’ll be exploring these enhancements to EFT at the next EFT Cafe meeting here in Newcastle on January 8th. If you know some EFT and would like to try out some new routines drop me a line.

“The Level 1 course was fantastic. Lots of ’stuff’ to work on both on the day and afterwards. I particularly appreciate the ‘craving’ technique as I’m now totally Pringle free. No craving, no desire, nothing. How good is that? … There was nothing about the day I did not enjoy or feel could be done better. The group size was small and that possibly made my enjoyment more memorable. Your style was informal and informative.”
