Witness the miracle of Emotional Freedom Technique

By Rev. Joy Violette Wolf

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) was introduced in 1995 by Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer in lifelong pursuit of personal well-being. Based on the premise that unresolved emotions can compromise our potential for happiness, EFT began as an effective remedy for phobias, addictions and war trauma. Vietnam vets were finally able to sleep at night, smokers could choose fresh air, and paralyzing phobias lost their grip all without medication!Before long, EFT was providing relief for migraine headaches, sexual abuse trauma, and a wide assortment of everyday ailments. Fascinated by the results, founder Gary Craig taught the technique to therapists, clients and people on the street. He said, "Try it on everything." So they did.Since then, EFT has grown into a revolutionary healing aid, used by traditional therapists, medical professionals and alternative healers on everything from weight loss to cancer. The discovery behind this relief is that unresolved emotional issues are caused by disruptions in the body's "subtle energies." These disruptions inhibit our natural ability to heal, leaving us open to nagging fears, chronic pain and terminal illness.Combining this emotional element with the ancient principles of acupuncture/acupressure, EFT has been able to address the causes of these energy disruptions with a gentle tapping procedure (using the fingertips). Impressive results ensue because the process addresses causes instead of symptoms.Most recently, advanced EFT applications have been demonstrated on clients with serious diseases at a series of workshops in the U.S. and England. These workshops have drawn between 250 and 400 participants each, and clients have walked away with measurable relief from conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Diabetes, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Multiple Chemical Dependencies, to name just a few.As Gary Craig says, "We are on the ground floor of a new Healing High Rise."A universal healing aid that often works where nothing else does, EFT is in use worldwide by over 5,000 physicians, and other healing professionals of every kind. It is in use by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide in every walk of life, including young children. It is simple to learn and is a powerful tool that you have with you wherever you go.Want to get over emotional upsets very quickly? How about rapidly, and pretty much painlessly, going beyond your phobias that control your life? Would you like to dramatically improve your physical, mental and emotional health, your work, school and sports performances? Do you want to turn your relationships into "elationships"?Would substantially reducing or eliminating the pain you are in be of interest to you? How would you like to use more of your potential, or help your friends and family do the same? Would being able to rapidly and gently improve or eliminate the underlying cause of asthma or allergies, without drugs, be a miracle for you? This and much more is available through EFT.Introductory presentations and workshops are now being offered throughout New Hampshire and Maine by S. Nathan Stein and Rev. Joy Violette Wolf, of WolfStone Holistic Healing Center in Effingham. Full, multi-level certification courses in EFT will also soon be available.Stein, who is also certified in clinical hypnotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming and past life regression therapy, has, in addition, developed his own ground-breaking, in-depth work in Transdimensional Energy Channeling and Energy Repatterning Therapy. He is also a member of the National Guild of Hypnotherapists.With a 30-plus-year background in engineering, not unlike that of EFT founder Gary Craig, Stein has also had a lifelong interest in the exploration of personal growth and healing. As a young man, his extensive studies of the life and works of Edgar Cayce inspired him to explore in depth the potential of holistic healing and the connection of mind, body, emotion and spirit. He brings his knowledge and his many skills to his work with EFT.Rev. Joy Violette Wolf, who is his wife and partner at WolfStone, is an ordained minister of The Healing Fellowship, and is certified in Unity Healing, a healing modality working within the body's energy field. She is also a spiritual counselor, and teaches classes on many topics including angels and spirit guides, Indigo children, spiritual growth. She has a special interest in healing through dance and music.Stein and Wolf will be offering a free introductory presentation on EFT, "Witness the Miracle," at the Conway Public Library on Nov. 2, from 6 to 8 p.m., and at the meeting room at The Met in North Conway Village on Nov. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m.
