Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, was introduced in South Lake Tahoe more than a year ago as a form of stress reduction. And the easy, effective technique has become so popular that massage therapists are signing up to learn more and are earning education credits.
An Intermediate EFT class is 6-9 p.m. April 24 in room 206 at Douglas High School, at the intersection of highways 88 and 395 in Minden.
Local and regional EFT classes, sponsored by Barton University, are taught by Rosemary Manning who has been a practitioner of mind-body therapies for more than 20 years.
Learning this powerful tool can help people take charge of their lives, relieve stress, break bad habits, stop phobias, overcome anxiety and pain and open emotional blocks to well-being.
Manning has a master's degree in clinical psychology, is a master hypnotist, a Reiki master and a licensed massage therapist. She teaches classes for Barton University and is an instructor at Lake Tahoe Community College.
Cost of the workshop is $20 for community members and $50 for massage therapists receiving CE hours and is free for Barton HealthCare System employees.
By stimulating meridian points on the body, you can balance your vibrational matrix and enjoy good physical and psychological health. EFT can eliminate physical symptoms, anxiety, fear and food cravings.
The intermediate workshop is EFT is one effective way to manage stressful reactions and emotions and is something that, once learned, can be performed on yourself at home, at work, in the car or wherever you are when a stressful situation arises.
