What Is "EFT" ?

EFT is a powerful new discovery that combines two well established sciences so you can benefit from both at the same time:

1. Mind Body Medicine
2. Acupuncture (this new version does not require needles--anyone can do it).

There is voluminous scientific evidence that each of these methods, applied by itself, can provide impressive relief. But when you combine them both with EFT, a profound synergistic effect is possible. I have observed this repeatedly since 1997 and have seen many stunning results. I believe it is this synergism that allows EFT to sometimes work where nothing else will.

Some of the benefits include:

• You can make enormous strides by introducing EFT into your emotional therapy process (whether you are a professional or a client). Instead of taking months or years using conventional "talk therapy," EFT often does the job for you cleanly and thoroughly in one or two sessions ... and we sometimes achieve noticeable results in a few brief rounds of EFT. We label these near-instant results as "one minute wonders."
  
  
• Once you have seen how well EFT clears out emotional debris, your next step is to notice how physical ailments start to fade. Headaches, back pains and other discomforts often tend to improve or vanish as emotional issues improve (this is the essence of Mind Body Medicine). Your vision may become clearer and everyday stress may take less toll on your system.
  
  
• Accordingly, you can apply it to just about everything. That is one of the most astonishing things about it. You use the same basic procedure for your fear of public speaking as you do for improving your golf score. You can also use it for everything from the common cold to multiple sclerosis (consult your physician, of course). Further, we have had reported successes for nearly every emotional issue on the books...including fear, trauma, depression, grief and schizophrenia. Some consider it the missing link in the pursuit of health and happiness.

Because of it's unique approach, it can work where nothing else does and, to many, it represents a Doorway to a new Healing High-Rise.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

The brain operates in four general states determined by the frequency of the bio-electrical energy through the exchange of chemicals in the neural pathways. The four states include Beta (or Waking State), Alpha (or Hypnotic State), Theta (or Dream State), and Delta (or Deep Sleep State).

These four states correspond to Brain Waves that can be measured on an EEG machine. Waking State occurs when the majority of the brain wave activity is at 14+ cycles per second. The Hypnotic State occurs when brain wave activity is between 8 and 13 cycles per second. The Dream State occurs when brain wave activity is between 4 and 7 cycles seconds, and the Deep Sleep State occurs when brain wave activity is 0.5 and 3 cycles per second.

For Adults, the Waking State is where we are functioning in Full Conscious Awareness. In this state, our conscious mind is attentive and uses logic to reason, evaluate, assess, judge, and make decisions. Unfortunately, when making life changes, the critical faculty (the part of the mind that stores our "Beliefs," negative and positive) often gets in the way.

In the Hypnotic State, the doorway through the critical faculty between the conscious and the subconscious mind is opened, memories become easily accessible, and new information is received and stored. In the Hypnotic State, you are not really "thinking" in the traditional sense. You are "experiencing" without questioning, without critical judgment or analysis the memories and events of the past. It can be a similar experience to watching a movie. During this time, the Hypnotherapist can make suggestions that will enable you to reframe memories and negative subconscious beliefs because the critical faculty is not getting in the way. You are not "filtering" the suggestions through the negative belief in the critical faculty that is keeping you from living a life to the full.

It is very important for us to realise that as adults, we enter into an Alpha or Hypnotic State several times a day in the normal course of living. When we are focussed specifically on a task, reading a book, watching a movie, entering or leaving the sleep state, etc., our brain waves change and we automatically move into the Hypnotic State (Alpha). There is no power on earth that can stop it from happening, it is a natural process of the mind. Just as important to realise is the fact that there is no person or power on earth that can force you into Hypnosis. It has been scientifically proven that, "all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, you must want it to happen and make it happen, the Hypnotherapist is merely the facilitator to support and guide your efforts."

One of the major misconceptions is that the person in hypnosis has "given up control of their mind" to another person. This is absolutely incorrect. If, for some reason, you do not want to allow the suggestions to be accepted, they won't be. For example, the smoker who comes into treatment in order to stop smoking but is not really committed to that goal, cannot be forced to do so. To have suggestions take effect in a person's mind, three keys must be in place - 1) The most important is the motivation and intention of the person "TO" change; 2) Depending on the issues and circumstances brought into therapy, a series of sessions to repeat and compound the suggestions for change may be necessary (hypnosis is not an instant magic bullet) and 3) The suggestions given must be believable and fit into the moral standards of the person.

The conscious mind with the critical faculty develops in the latter stages of early childhood. By this time, the subconscious has been firmly established and programmed by the events and experiences in our Family of Origin.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

According to Wikipedia Cognitive behavioral therapy (or cognitive behavior therapy, CBT) is:

a psychotherapeutic approach that aims to influence problematic and dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. CBT can be seen as an umbrella term for therapies that share a theoretical basis in behaviorist learning theory and cognitive psychology, and that use methods of change derived from these theories.

So what does this mean? Well simply it means to bring to the conscious or logical mind (Cognition) your current actions (Behavior) and work on changing them (Therapy).

In regards to weight loss, there is often one or a number of behaviors which are unhealthy and at a minimum are not bringing a person to the goals they desire. In combination with Hypnotherapy and EFT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to affect change in these behaviors.
