No Drugs Involved ~ High Success Rate

No Drugs Involved ~ High Success Rate

A new innovation usually meets with scepticism because it violates people's beliefs. And EFT lies in the face of just about every belief there is about psychology and emotional healing. Rapid remedies for "difficult" emotional problems are, in some circles, considered impossible and anyone who purports to do them rapidly is labelled a charlatan. "After all", the belief goes, "these things are deeply ingrained in people and therefore they must take a long time to remedy." Beliefs are very powerful. We fight wars over them. We build monuments to them. Medicine, psychology and political systems are built on them. But, alas, sometimes they aren't true. We just think they are. Sometimes we believe in fairy tales. If your reaction to the promises made in the preceding pages includes an "it's too good to be true" attitude...or anything like that...then I have probably already violated your beliefs. This is healthy and to be expected.

New ideas should be subject to rigorous scrutiny. It lends them strength in the long run. You hold in your hand a major innovation. As you will see, it is based on the soundest of scientific principles. But because it is so dramatically different from "conventional wisdom," it is consistently, and understandably, greeted with scepticism. EFT is not alone in this. Other innovations have met with similar attitudes. Here are a few quotes from history:

"Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
Lord Kelvin, President Royal Society

"Everything that can be invented has been invented."
Charles H. Duell, Director of U.S. Patent Office, 1899

Hardly ever, does anyone say to me, "Oh...it's like
you said. You balanced their energy system while they
were tuned in to the problem and thereby eliminated the
cause." Yet that is what happened.

Often even the people making the changes will credit something else for creating the change. And it's usually something totally unrelated like a recent earthquake or a raise in pay they just received. Mind you, they don't deny the change occurred or that it happened while doing EFT. They just aren't able to link it with the tapping techniques. To them it doesn't compute. It doesn't make sense. There must be some other explanation. Dr. Roger Callahan, from whom I received my initial introduction to these procedures calls this the APEX problem.

Another reason for scepticism is that EFT looks weird. I mean really, really weird. These techniques will have you talking to yourself, rolling your eyes around in your head and humming a song while tapping on various parts of your body. They don't even remotely resemble psychology as most people know it and may be waaaay outside your belief system.

However once you understand the logic behind them, these techniques become obvious. And you may wonder why they weren't discovered earlier. That being said, here's an interesting aside. You do not have to believe in these techniques for them to work. Some people mistakenly conclude that EFT gets results simply because people believe in it.

That is a particularly strange conclusion because it is usually made by those who are sceptical.
The fact is, people rarely believe in these techniques at first. They are almost always sceptical...at least to a degree. Despite the usual lack of belief by newcomers the results obtained by EFT occur undiminished. People make their improvements in spite of their scepticism.

brought about by EFT frequently result in profound
