Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT™) by Ananga Sivyer Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT for short, are still relatively new to the UK but the word is spreading fast. Why? Because these techniques really work and anyone can learn to use them. EFT works upon the meridian system as do many well-known therapies such as acupuncture and shiatsu. Using a set sequence of potent points EFT balances meridian flow and promotes relief from both emotional and physical pain.

In this half-day workshop I will teach you the basics of EFT and how to use it for yourself. It is an opportunity to learn these remarkable techniques in a friendly and supportive environment. Venue: Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. Date:Saturday December 1st 2001 Trainer: Peter Delves Further Details:www.delves.co.uk or e-mail info@delves.co.uk
