Welcome to the very first AMT Energy! newsletter of 2012.

This month is packed full of great news and articles to get you inspired for the year ahead.

In this issue:

• Introducing The Definitive EFT Book – Energy EFT!
• Congratulations to our 2011 Christmas Competition Winners
• EFT Energy – EFT with Energy in Mind by Dr. Silvia Hartmann
• World's First Distance Learning AMT EFT Master Practitioners
• You Are Never Too Young To Tap! by Dolores Andrew-Gavin
• EFT and the Group Entity by Dr. Silvia Hartmann
• 14th Annual Canadian Energy Psychology Conference – Now Accepting Presenter Proposals

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.

Read on to find out more about Ryan and Dolores and to hear their thoughts on the course...

The three original EmoTrance books, Vol. 1: Oceans Of Energy, Vol: 2 Living Energy and Vol. 3: Energy Magic are going out of print from June 1st, 2011. The trilogy documents the development of EmoTrance from its beginnings in 1993 to its first formulation as EmoTrance in 2001 and the many different research directions of EmoTrance until 2005. They represent a complete record of the journey of discovery at the time.

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.

True Happiness: Your Complete Guide to Emotional Health by Dr. Mark Atkinson stands out amongst the vast ocean of self-help guides available today. The easy to follow instructions coupled with the authors obvious passion and knowledge, make for a complete and concise guide to gaining “True Happiness”.

I am extremely pleased to be able to announce that the brand new "EmoTrance: Emotions, Energy, Information & Love" is now available - this is a complete re-write of the theory and practice of EmoTrance with the wisdom of a decade's worth of hindsight.

When we first discovered EmoTrance, we were so pleased with it - a direct method to use when "terrible emotions strike in real life," there and then, in the field. What a relief!

But there was so much we didn't know back then.

After much preparation, AMT Trainer Irene Lambert recently underwent an inspection from the Federation of Holistic Therapists.

We are pleased to announce that she passed with flying colours!

After 12 years of steady growth The AMT has practitioners in a number of countries and is proud to welcome very first AMT Trainer Mrs Zeinab Alloub living and based in Cairo Egypt.

Over the last few decades a group of ‘super-techniques’ have emerged and are increasingly gaining in popularity. Coming under the umbrella term of ‘Energy Psychology’, these techniques engage the mind and body simultaneously, and create rapid personal transformation on both a physical and emotional level. One such, Matrix Reimprinting, has been catapulted into the limelight, following the release of the new book Matrix Reimprinting Using EFT published by Hay House. Created by Karl Dawson, and evolving from the popular self-help technique Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).

I'm pleased to announce that, in celebration of The AMT's 2010 European EFT & Energy Psychology Conference, DragonRising Publishing are giving away their latest eBook totally free!

The book, The StressFish Guide to Easy EFT, is no longer available free of charge, but you can still order the book by Clicking Here.

A new study by the University of Oregon, in collaboration with the Dalian University of Technology, this week has found that meditation can actually enhance the brains ability.

Dr. Mark Atkinson is a holistic medical doctor, probably best known for his work on the nations best loved breakfast show, GMtv, as well as work for many of the largest newspapers in the UK.

Dr. Atkinson will be presenting Total Well-Being at the 2010 European EFT & Energy Psychology Conference, which takes place at the Europa Hotel, Gatwick this November. We thought it would be a great idea for you to get to know Mark a little better, so TheAMT's Josh Alliston caught up with Mark earlier this week, finding out a little bit more about his history, and what has drawn him into the world of holistic medicine and Meridian Energy Therapies.

Gary Craig, founder and creator of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques, has just announced his impending retirement. This sad news comes after much consideration by Gary, but due to the stress of running a huge organisation, coupled with health issues, it was deemed a necessary step. Gary will be retiring on the 15th January 2010.

 Founded in 1998, TheAMT is the oldest and most respected certifying body of EFT courses and will be continuing to teach Gary Craig's good work well into the future. Together we can carry on teaching EFT to the world.

Author of 'Adventures in EFT' Dr Silvia Hartmann's reaction to the news can be found on her EFT site.

EmoTrance, EFT and other therapies are well known for their abilities of helping people deal with negative emotions, but many people are sceptical of their ability to help relieve physical pain.
