MERIDIAN
THERAPIES
The
use of meridian therapies has been well documented since at least
3000 BC. Ayurveda manuscripts from that period show that meridian
healing using chakras and their interconnecting energy channels
was already in practice, whilst in China the use of acupuncture
since that period is also well documented. Since those times a number
of new meridian therapies have evolved including Emotional Freedom
Techniques© (EFT), Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) and EmoTrance.
Like
other meridian therapies, these modern therapies are based on the
principle that all negative emotions are caused by a disruption
in the body's energy system. Just as acupuncture works to release
blockages in the meridians (energy channels) by inserting needles
at selected points, so these new therapies are used to release such
blockages by tapping or applying pressure with the fingers on selected
points. Clients are taught to carry out the tapping sequence themselves,
thus providing them with a powerful self-help technique that can
be used for a wide range of issues.
