 The Science Behind EFT

“There are only two ways to live your life.

One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Albert Einstein
 Some Thoughts About Thoughts
"You become what you think about most of the time."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

"If you want to be confident, but normally don't act that way, today, just this
once, act in the physical world the way you think a confident person
would."
Dr. Wayne Dyer

"As a man thinketh, in his heart so is he."

The Bible

"The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it
is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the
witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition.
As a man thinketh, so does he perceive."
A Course In Miracles
 How To Create Your Destiny
• THOUGHTS turn into WORDS
• WORDS turn into ACTIONS
• ACTIONS turn into HABITS

• CHARACTER turns into DESTINY

It All Starts With A Thought!

 What Is Energy Psychology?
• Energy Psychology is a family of mind/body techniques that are clinically
observed to consistently help with a wide range of psychological
conditions. These interventions address the human vibrational matrix,
which consists of three major interacting systems:
– Energy pathways (meridians and related acupoints)
– Energy centers (chakras)
– Human biofield (systems of energy that envelop the body)

• These techniques are also helpful in promoting high-level mind-body

health and peak performance in the physical, mental and creative arenas
of life.
 History of Energy Psychology
• Psychologist, Dr. Roger
Callahan, founded and
developed TFT over the last
16 years based on his
discovery that the same
energy meridian system
identified by the Chinese
approximately 5,000 years
ago and used in
acupuncture for centuries
could also be used to
successfully treat most
psychological problems.
History of Energy Psychology
• Gary worked with Roger
Callahan in 1990-1995
• In 1997 he developed a
simpler technique to
deal with psychological
issues
• He desires that
everyone should how to
use EFT
