We’re less than a week away now from the launch of Energy EFT by Silvia Hartmann, which we’re recommending all practitioners and trainers read through to keep themselves up-to-date with many of the latest changes introduced by the EFT Master Practitioner course. Whether you discovered EFT days or decades ago, we guarantee you’ll fall in love all over again.

“Gary Graig told us that we are on the ground floor of a healing high rise, with Silvia Hartmann's Energy EFT
book we are moving up to the second floor.” - Edeltraud Grace, Australia (read review)

Bringing a family together is a whole new experience using EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques and the group entity pattern.

All the group combines to tap for the whole group, thus avoiding any individual being singled out as a problem, or feeling left out of the process. This is a very bonding experience which really improves the flow of communication and love in a group as in this example shared by Kirsten Ellis from Yorkshire, UK.

EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques, tapping on special energy points whilst tuning in to an emotional problem which needs to be released, is an energy technique. EFT is not hypnosis, it isn't witchcraft, it isn't psychology or a behavioural pattern interrupt, it isn't tissue massage or physiotherapy - EFT is an example of modern energy work.

Trying to deny this simple fact in order to gain "scientific acceptance" is not an option, as energy work is greatly influenced by intention and directed by conscious focus of attention.

Using EFT from the wrong mind set reduces its effectiveness; and conversely, when we apply EFT "with energy in mind," we put EFT in its rightful place in the treatment of the mind, body, spirit triad and we improve its effectiveness, power, ease of use immediately and noticeably.

We are pleased to welcome the world's first AMT EFT Master Practitioners to be qualified by the highly recommended Distance Learning Course.

Ryan DeMares from Colorado, USA and Dolores Andrew-Gavin from Galway, Ireland, both completed the course early in December, showing dedication and a real talent for EFT.

I recently taught a group of children how to tap. The children were aged between 5 – 9, two boys and three girls so we had a nice mix including a nice mix of personalities from quiet children to more outspoken children. Only one of the children had heard of EFT and most did not know what to expect. They arrived eager and giggling and as it was straight after school a little on the hungry side!

Are you involved with modern energy work such as EFT or EmoTrance? Do you love it? And do you feel a little bit uncomfortable to tell everyone about it because you're afraid people will call you a fool, unscientific, or laugh at you? If so, welcome to the club! We all have acquired energy reversals about talking freely about energy!

So if you're a little nervous about holding out your hand to the world and saying, "Good morning! My name is Silvia - and I'm an energist!" join the AMT conference delegates for a group EFT session right now.

In conjunction with TheAMT conference 2011, 60 delegates joined the first official live EFT Master Practitioner training, created by Dr Silvia Hartmann in discussion with the AMT trainers to provide an in depth, state of the art training syllabus for the teaching of EFT for the next decade.

This is the second part of this excellent 3 part series from AMT Trainer Cathy Dixon. From working with all kinds of people to help them change their outlook on life, Cathy Dixon has developed an empowerment programme based on simple steps and common sense.

What's Matrix Reimprinting all about? Want to see a Matrix Reimprinting session?

This live session, filmed a few months ago, deals with an intense frog phobia. The session starts off with classic EFT - then uses one of the Matrix Reimprinting techniques to locate the traumatic event behind the phobia. Matrix Reimprinting is then used to get resolution on the traumatic event.

In a very high percentage of cases, traumatic events, regardless of their intensity and nature can be resolved within one session of Matrix Reimprinting.

Not only is it very quick and relatively painless, traumatic memories can be re-written as positive ones and negative beliefs made into new resourceful beliefs.

AMT Trainer Cathy Dixon writes: This is the first of three articles in a series that offer an approach to coaching and guiding clients through the change process.

Whatever the issue that people bring with them, it almost always involves some aspect of dealing with change. I believe that understanding the change process in more depth makes us better practitioners and more effective at helping our clients to move on with their lives.

On August 8th at 8pm we are having a moment to do some real energy work - to change the powerfield of the ages that has made people be blind to the reality of energy. With more energy awareness, the world for all of us must change and becomes a better place.

Here are some ideas for EFT set ups or EFT opening statements to use on World Energy Awareness Day and to help bring the light to many, many more.

The big "hang  up" in EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques for beginners is to find the right EFT set up or EFT opening statement - what you say when you tap your round of EFT.

Once you've done EFT for a while and with a few other people as well (which gives a much better perspective than always tapping only on yourself or wondering about your own problems) finding EFT set ups is easy, logical and natural. Here is a tip how to speed up learning how to find the right set up phrase or opening statement for EFT self treatment for beginners.

Wendy Beresford writes: When I first started training as an EFT Practitioner, I was amazed at how effective it was and how quickly I could get results on a variety of issues. After a while, however, I tried to apply the technique to uncover and release limiting subconscious beliefs that I felt may be holding me back in my everyday life. I quickly found that although I could identify some of my general behaviours or thought patterns that may need updating, I struggled to contact any feelings about them. Without feelings that I could give a rating to, I found I was only dealing with the symptoms of my issues rather than resolving them at the core.

We look forward to meeting up again at the 2011 European EFT & Energy Psychology Conference 12/13th November 2011!

Thoughts of a large bottle opener come to mind with a title like this one, yet how else would you describe the fact that it is through TappyBear that many wonderful opportunities to share the gifts of EFT with others have been able to present themselves, that otherwise would have stood before a closed door...
