Thought Field Therapy

Thought Field Therapy or (TFT) is a simple and effective therapy consisting of tapping on acupuncture points and consciously recognizing and resolving emotional, psychological and physical issues. Personally, I believe this therapy to be one of the most profound healing tools that I have experienced. I have overcome viruses, fears, anxiety issues, pain,  and past emotional trauma by simply tapping on specific acupuncture points. The concept of TFT was originated in the 1980’s by Roger Callahan, Ph. D., author of “Tapping the Healer Within.”

“TFT breaks the connection between the original traumatic event and the conditioned response that is being habitually activated. All chronic conditions have an element of energy field distortion or detachment. These distortions or perturbations are encoded information contained in the energy field. These distortions are the root cause of negative emotions, each corresponding to a meridian point on the body. Tapping the acupressure meridian points unblocks or balances the flow of QI. Each point corresponds to an organ  and a feeling.”

    Here are some basic rules to help to make this therapy more effective:

• Focus intently on troubling sensations, emotions, or memories while tapping.
• Tap points by using all 10 fingertips. Keep wrist relaxed and flexible. Tap strongly and slowly about one tap per second.
• Tap yourself in a rhythm of the heartbeat or waltz. Tap every point nine times.
• Look at yourself in a mirror and make eye contact with yourself, or have somebody listen to you, to be a witness to your healing.
• Take a deep breath after each round of tapping, notice sensations in your body, feelings, emotions, memories. Focus on them again while tapping.
• Hum or repeat affirmations while tapping. “Even though I… (Say several negative and troubling things you are working on), I fully and completely accept myself and love myself the way I am.” (Repeat all affirmations while tapping initial four points, and only negative issues when tapping the rest.)
• To deepen an experience, move your eyes side to side or put on glasses of a specific color.

        MFT Points and (Acupuncture points):

• Crown Line (Governor 19-21  points) - along sagittal suture (it's the line between two bones at the top of the head, from the crown of the head toward the nose.) Position all fingers along this line.
• Eyebrow (Bladder 1-2 and extra points) - little finger positioned over the beginning of the nose, with the rest of the fingers around the eyebrow.
• Temple (Gall Bladder 1) - From the corner of the eye, where pinky should touch during tapping, toward the ear.
• Nuchal Line (between Gallbladder 20 and Bladder 10 and many extra points) - immediately behind the mastoid (head and upper part of neck). Tap with the side of  both palms, like a karate chop.
• Stomach line (Stomach 1,2,3) - Position all fingers on the bone just below your eye.
• Upper jaw line (Governor 26 and upper jaw dental acupuncture points) - tap with all fingers between nose and upper lip with pinkies touching.
• Lower jaw line (Conception Vessel 24 and lower jaw dental points) - tap with all fingers under lower lip.
• Under the armpits (chicken wings) (Spleen 21)  - Tap on the line under the armpits with you thumb and index finger forming a V shape.
• Thymus (breast bone line) (Kidney 21, 26 and Thymus) - Thumb lies in the hollow underneath the clavicle, just adjacent to the sternum, with the other fingers going down the sides of the sternum.       

         

TFT has been a wonderful therapy for me in addressing unresolved emotional conflicts, (negative thoughts that are stuck in my thought process) and fears. One of my fears was feeling that I would stay chronically sick and not get well. Dr. Gurevich  showed me how to do TFT, at first.  Between his therapies and the Allergie-Immun drops, I am well today. But healing takes a lot of work and I continued to do TFT on my own until I resolved this fear. I believe that TFT was a big part of my recovery as well as maintaining my health to this day.

This is an example of working through my fear of chronic sickness.  As I tapped on the acupuncture points, I would start by saying out loud:

“Even though I have a fear of being chronically sick, I believe that with the help of my Higher Self*, I will dissolve this fear and be healthy and whole.”

“Even though, I have a fear of not getting well, I believe that with the help of God*, I will dissolve this fear and be healthy and whole.”

“Even though I am afraid that these treatments won’t work for me, I believe that with the help of God, I will dissolve this fear and be well.”

“Even though I feel vulnerable and helpless, I believe with the help of God, I will dissolve this feeling and be healthy.”

“I am ready to be well.”

“I am willing to be well.”

“My body is ready to be well.”

“My immune system  knows how to get well.”

“I give myself permission to be free of my brain fog, etc. continually from now on.”

“I will do everything necessary to see to it that I am free and remain continually free of these problems from now on.”

“Even though my doctors believe I will not get well, I will get well fast and completely.”

“I let go all my beliefs that I will stay sick.”

“I let go all my beliefs that others hold about my illness.”

“I let go of my unforgiveness towards all those who believe I will always be ill or die.”

“I let go of my unforgiveness towards myself because I have become so ill.”

“I forgive myself.”

“I love myself the way I am.”

*My affirmations HAD to include “the help of God or my Higher Self” because I was conditioned to believe that I didn’t have the power to heal myself.  Believing and saying that God ( Jesus, Higher Power, Higher Self, the Universe, ) was within me and helping me was essential for my healing.
