EFT is a form of Energy Psychology which could also be referred to as "psychological acupressure". It works with the same energy meridians as used in traditional acupuncture but instead, uses simple tapping with the finger tips on the end points of specific meridians on the face, hands and upper body. No needles are used. Light tapping acts to stimulate key points while stating out loud, the negative issue relating to physical or emotional pain being addressed which engages the subconscious mind in the process. Traumatic events, addictions and both emotional and physical pain are quickly completed as the light tapping sends impulses to the particular area where the specific energy blocks are stored, while stating and maintaining your attention on a particular issue. Tapping the meridian points while tuning into a problem, causes the blocks and withheld charge to dissipate.
The originator, Gary Craig, developed this remarkable technique based on the ancient principle known to all yogi’s and yogini’s, that an upsetting experience or problem is connected with a disturbance in the body’s energy system. “The CAUSE of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system,” EFT can be likened to a modern form of doing tapas, an ancient Sanskrit word which means” to burn”, referring to the ancient form of point holding which sometimes causes a burning sensation as old stored memories are literally burned away.
EFT has frequently featured on television with amazingly successful phobia cures and has been cited in publications for the last thirty years as one of the most powerful tools in mind/body health and personal growth today. The American Psychological Association recognizes EFT as one of the key treatments for relieving severe trauma such as P.T.S.D.
The real secret to why EFT works immediately in 90% of all cases is its ability to remove the automatic and long ingrained resistance we all have, to physical or emotional pain. As Karl Jung so aptly stated, “whatever you resist, persists.” EFT clears this automatic resistance to what is uncomfortable in your life and opens the body to receiving an impulse from a light tap on the ends of the meridians (while stating the negative issue out loud) , which acts in clearing the energy block which has kept the resisted physical or emotional pain in place.
The end result is that EFT provides humanity with a profound yet simple tool to clear what science has proven is a continual 90% unconscious resistance to even the subtlest thing we dislike, so that they can easily pass through. By helping us let go of this automatic habit to resist discomfort, EFT leaves us free to experience life fully mindful and present in each moment. No longer lost in automatic unconscious resistance, you begin to have real choice in your life.
Starting in 2021, Paula began teaching a popular online three weekend course which has changed the lives of participants in a profound way. Most EFT classes focus on the use of EFT for correcting health and psychological problems and relieving physical pain. While this is dealt with in Paula’s training, much like in her other programs, her true motivation is to help her participants complete lifetimes of karma, clearing the way for a direct perception of their true nature. An expert at finding hidden trauma in her students and clients, often from previous lifetimes, she knows how to ask the right questions which evoke the precise statements that need to be repeated and tapped to complete deep unconscious blocks that at times can bring a person to their first glimpse of their true nature.
Because of her many years of experience in bringing her students to the level of non-dual awareness, she is very adept at the ego’s many reactions to the mind experiencing emptiness for the first time. The bliss this depth evokes, sometimes creates a strong fearful “knee jerk reaction” in the ego, which is highly addicted to suffering and resists bliss at all costs when it arises. Paula trains her students to look out for this reaction and to tap the ego’s fear of emptiness before it can arise. Students learn to clear phobias and complete both their “Mommy” and “Daddy” issues as well as all traumas between conception and age seven (the years in which our entire persona is formed) by exchanging sessions with two different partners the first week. Completing father and mother issues takes care of most relationship issues with the opposite sex. During the second week, two more partners are chosen to complete any remaining traumas or key life issues.
During the three weekend online classes held in the afternoon, Paula takes volunteers who wish to tap key life issues and traumas and encourages all the participants to tap along. She also shares pre-written EFT protocols which help her students complete major spiritual blocks, from her previous Karma Completion online podcast. Themes such as “Completing Blocks To MIndfullness”, “Tapping Resistance to Taking Responsibility For My Life”, “Seeing Through the Victim” and other pertinent themes are included. A Certificate is provided.
A special protocol for completing the chemical addictions to emotions that Paula explains in her course, is available for free on this website. Yes it is true, our body literally becomes chemically addicted to the emotions we repeat over and over after a long bout of difficulties in our lives. The one on this site is adapted from Paula’s friend Stacy Vornbrock’s EFT protocol, created after her extensive research on the brain. Stacy is well known for her specialty work with sports stars, increasing their scores even as they age.
Anyone! You do not need any previous experience to gain great benefit. You will enjoy the lightness of being as you shed lifetimes of karma, and be inspired to share this powerful spiritual tool with friends and loved ones. Several have been inspired to take up sharing EFT sessions as a career or added it to their life coaching career and one former student has even authored her own book. By joining the course you will easily learn an effective healing modality that you can use anywhere and at any time.
The course is particularly ideal for

EFT
I am incredibly grateful to have met Dr. Paula Horan, who introduced me to EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). At the time, I was facing one of the greatest challenges of my life—a painful betrayal by a friend—and I felt completely lost. I was filled with anger and self-doubt, questioning why I had to endure such an experience. This betrayal left me struggling to trust others.
Paula guided me through this difficult time, showing me how to confront the emotions I had buried within. Before meeting her, I had no idea that something like EFT existed. Learning about how our emotions are stored in various points of the body, and how tapping combined with affirmations can neutralize those emotions, was eye-opening.
I was so inspired by its transformative power that I became trained in EFT myself. Today, I’m proud to help others—starting with my own family and children—navigate their emotions and lead more conscious, aware lives. Thank you, Paula, for this incredible gift.
