Hypnosis - Can It Include EFT! or is it Hypnosis!
Here is an article from Gary Craig's news letter. Having used EFT with clients with significant results, I wonder if there is anyone who has merged the two successfully and effectively.
"Did EFT clear a 90% blocked artery?
Hi Everyone,
Does that headline stretch your belief system? Is it possible that a severely blocked artery can be completely cleared in short order without surgery? This article by Gayla Sanders displays this stunning possibility. Note that EFT was the only thing done to unblock this artery. Gayla says, "Betty called the next day after the surgery, quite stunned. The doctors found the artery completely clear! There was no need for the balloon and they had no explanation for an artery going from 90% blocked to 0% in just one week."
Hugs, Gary
There are 3 EFT aspects in this story involving the blockage of an artery:
1) releasing fears, 2) releasing past hurts, and 3) giving the body permission to heal itself.
Both sessions I did with Betty were by phone and our time was limited, so I spoke the phrases and directed her to tap each spot as I went along. I followed intuition and lingered at certain spots to have her breathe deeply and focus. We used the EFT Shortcut spots and sometimes I directed Betty to simply press each spot during an entire round of taking multiple deep breaths. The breathing seemed to give her greater opportunity to relax and release her issues.
Betty was going in the following day for a drug induced stress test and dye injection to look for blockages in her arteries. Some years ago, her dear friend died during surgery while Betty had been in the waiting room. Her fears were at a level of intensity of 10 on a scale of 0 to 10. Over the course of 2 hours, we tapped for all aspects of fear, surrounding each of the procedures, needles, hospitalization, bypass surgery, death...
Rather than use the common stress test, the doctor wanted to inject Betty with a stimulant to stress her heart. This caused her great concern, because, unlike the stress test where she could stop moving and calm her heart, she would have no control over the drug's effect.
Our tapping over each of these issues brought Betty down from a 10 in every category to a 0 out of 10.
When asked, Betty said she felt she had 90% blockage in her arteries. We tapped for the blockage to safely dissolve and leave her body. This, I am certain, began immediately, but was not evident upon her dye test the next day.
Intuitively, I believed the cause of the blockage was from harboring hurts and offenses. Betty agreed. Time constraints only allowed us to bring this down from a 10 to a 2. Betty said she was at a 0, but I knew inside of me, the tremendous relief she was feeling was giving her the false impression of a 0.
Next day, Betty felt bold and calm. Upon her insistence, she was allowed to take the regular stress test. This step was significant, as Betty has always obeyed the doctors and has never made her desires known, much less, taken such control over her own care. Also, we had not tapped to have such boldness. I believe her inner strength came from tapping away the fears. With the fears out of her way, she was able to stand up for herself.
In addition to her successful stress test, Betty remained calm throughout the dye test. The doctor and staff commented several times on how calm and relaxed she was - especially with the needle and injection.
The dye test showed 90% blockage in one artery. How about that for knowing her own body! The doctor scheduled Betty to have the balloon procedure, or stint, or bypass surgery, depending on the situation they would find, for the following week.
We tapped for one hour the night before the surgery. Betty was at a 0 on all aspects of fear and was making rapid headway in releasing the numerous hurts of her past. The hurts toppled to a 0 like dominoes. We also tapped thanksgiving for the safe and natural clearing of her artery. I had been convinced for 5 days that the surgery was unnecessary. I was thoroughly certain, deep down, that her artery was completely cleared. I told my friend and colleague of my feelings, but we agreed such information was inappropriate to share with Betty.
Betty called the next day after the surgery, quite stunned. The doctors found the artery completely clear! There was no need for the balloon and they had no explanation for an artery going from 90% blocked to 0% in just one week.
Hurray for EFT!! It is more than enough that EFT helped Betty release her fears and go through the procedures in perfect calmness. That alone is an incredible gift. But how much more wonderful is it that her body was allowed to literally, release the blockage and "heal" itself through EFT.
Betty has learned the significant importance of releasing hurts. She now has the tools to walk in emotional and physical freedom. For that, I am profoundly grateful.
With hugs and appreciation,

In your practice, do you ever use the actupunture points as a means of causing correction or hastening the desired healing?
With the extraordinary effects observed with EFT and other methods is there a way of merging the effects of both hypnosis and EFT?

I believe your question requires a Yes and No answer -- But, first -- I believe that conventional hypnosis and EFT are different applications of the power of suggestion on an excited imagination--
Now, to further answer your question -
Yes, in the sense that -- I use EFT-like techniques and act out the tapping rituals with great enthusiasm--
No, in the sense that I view the EFT as highly effective and an unacknowledged form of hypnosis --- The tapping pulls people into the experience, the claim that EFT is not hypnosis often helps people relax and the acu-tapping mythology sounds reasonable to most people interested in alternative health care approaches.
I also believe that simply helping people move out of chronic "fight or flight states" and into "rest and digest states" is a major factor in all healing and in skillfull hands-- EFT is very, very relaxing hypnotic modality...

I learned EFT from Gary Craig 10 years ago. Initially I used EFT prior to the hypnosis part of their session. However, I kept running out of time so I now induce hypnosis, tap for them during trance (with their permission) and future pace their new outcome. It's been very effective. Before I changed my approach clients were dropping into trance anyway from the tapping.
The students in my hypnotherapy training (I teach a weekend of Hypnosis & EFT in Level 3) report that the EFT is much more powerful during hypnosis.

Thanks for the feedback Katherine - I suspected there would be an impact with the addition of EFT. Good to hear that there is someone who is incorporating it within hypnosis with good results.

Consider this; I have used EFT without saying anything on a client and it worked, I have used EFT just imagining tapping the points and it worked, and I have used EFT with folks tapping on myself for their problem and it worked.
I would love to hear how you might fit these examples into your theories.
Sincerely,
JT Moore

My understanding is that EFT is pure hypnosis, with a metaphor for healing.
as long as your client understand that you are doing a pwerful healing technique, you could wiggle your nos, tap your forehead, or theirs, or do any other little ritual which fits into the belief system, and it will work.
so the question of wether it works with Hypsosis becomes redundant.
Of course other people will believe whatever they have invested in. If you have paid for a course which says you are working on the meridians... then you are likely to be to some degree attatched to this story.
Love and hugs,
Fable

I never had considered EFT to be a form of hypnosis. This is indeed interesting.
A fellow instructor teaching medical students recently had her students use EFT to reduce the stress and anxiety just minutes before a final exam. Her take in the application of EFT prior to the test was higher scores overall and a reduced level of stress before and after the examination.
The students being surprised by the results have indicated their desire to repeat the application of EFT prior to future testing as well.

Hi Michael,
I use EFT with virtually every Hypnosis session. However, I use a somewhat different approach than Gary Craig. I am the one speaking and tapping....not the client. And, I use "hypnotic language" to assist in the effort. The added Hypnotic language in addressing emotional problems result in a shifting of the person's state from let us say sorrow....to one of not only removing the negative emotion related to the sorrow....but, adding the element of understanding and hopefulness. The results have been amazing. I use it very, very successfully in tandem with Hypnosis especially for smoking cessation and alcohol abuse. I also teach workshops in EFT both for the modality itself and for removing fears, phobias, anxieties and stress. Usually each workshop brings me a large per cent of the attendees into my private practice as Hypnosis clients. I have been blessed with astounding results when I use the combination of EFT (or, Energy Therapy as I refer to it) in partnership with Hypnotherapy. I use at the beginning of the session to relax the client and enhance their trance experience. I have had people go directly into trance while I am standing there doing EFT on them. I just guide them to the chair and proceed with the Hypnosis session. I hightly reccommend that everyone begin most of their sessions with this method. Please let me know if I can provide any more information for you.
