NLP and EFT – Fab Methods of Alternative Healing
If you have interests in the field of alternative healing you may have already come across EFT or the Emotional Freedom Technique where certain points on the body are tapped whilst thinking of a problem. The information for learning EFT is available free so all you need to do is make time to learn.
How can we make the most of EFT as a change process? The answer is to “supercharge” the technique by using presuppositions of NLP to prepare the mind for positive change just prior to using EFT. That’s twice the healing you had before. I have found this to also apply to other healing techniques or change processes outside the field of NLP.
A presupposition relies on something other than the statement itself to be true. Whether or not the statement is true the brain must accept the information as true in order to understand it in the first place. You’ll find it easier to understand with some examples:
* It doesn’t matter if you heal now, or later (presupposes you will heal)
* How easy will it be for you to feel better now? (that you will feel better)
* Just as you have healed a cut, you can heal this (that a cut is as easy to heal, that you have been cut before)
Of course presuppositions can be simple or complex.
You could also use many other NLP techniques such as pacing and leading or metamodeling which will improve things even more, however if you are new to EFT I suggest just the presuppositions for now.
The point is by combining a very simple idea (let’s face it you don’t have to have been fully trained in NLP or hypnosis to use this) with another healing technique you optimise change. And that’s a good thing.

If you can get someone to accept a presupposition that they can change, then they have already changed!!

Another example, “It doesn’t matter how long it takes me to lose this weight, three months or twelve, I’m still going to feel great being fit”.

Yes the mind is creative. What ever you think about comes to be whether good or bad. If you think you can be/do something the mind makes it happen.

I believe there is a lot to say about mind over matter.
It reminds me of the little train that could.
Thanks,

I learned EFT several years ago at the National Guild of Hypnotist’s convention. It’s amazing!

I’m not too familiar with EFT, although it sounds intriguing.

Okay, I’ve heard of NLP and EFT, but I don’t really know what either one is. Can you give an overview of that?

I set up the posts so after I approve your first, I don’t tend to moderate the rest (although I do read them – nothing worse than an unmoderated blog!)

Hi Keri,
Indeed, I find the principles of EFT quite intriguing. I first stumbled across it on the internet in early 2007 just before attending Kevin Hogan’s Influence Boot Camp when I first met Kevin. Since we somatize our beliefs into our cells, I find the idea of EFT as healing and helping modality to be quite interesting. I would love to have to have a CATEGORY within your blog on EFT and to have you elucidate upon it at least once a week so I could learn more at your temples.
Best regards,
Happy Dating and Relationships,
