Thought Field Therapy 
            By Regina Murphy

Thought Field Therapy, or TFT , is a revolutionary technique dealing with psychological problems or energy blockages. 

It has been extensively used and studied for well over seventeen years. In TFT, the client is asked to think about a specific issue. They do not have to talk about the issue which is a big thing with many people and a roadblock to some who truly desire relief but have trouble talking about themselves to others. The client is then asked to tap on certain acupressure points on his or her own body in a specific order. This is called an Algorithm. There is also some eye movements and counting added to the mix, also in a certain order , and to the surprise of most clients the stuck emotion is gone. The first impression is that you are simply distracted by the Algorithm, but as time goes on you quickly realize something is very different. Not only is it extraordinarily powerful, it is simple enough to be taught to anyone including to self! Treat or treat others.

Much research has been done on this subject and nowhere can it be found that it is harmful in any way. Dr. Roger Callahan has written several books. The Five Minute Phobia Cure, Tap The Healer Within and Stop The Nightmares Of Trauma as well as his website that has enough information to help you learn the technique and self treat. The Journal of Clinical Psychology issued a special edition in October 2001 dedicated entirely to TFT and its research.

I am still in awe of how I stumbled upon this therapy. As a massage therapist and a Reiki Master I was doing everything in my power to avoid having a hysterectomy due to tumors in the uterus and bleeding that would not stop. I exhausted western medicine, progesterone pills, self Reiki treatments, meditation and prayer to no avail. After eight months I was weak and desperate, but my belief system and the fact that I’m Irish and a Taurus kept me trying to avoid surgery. I made an appointment at The Nevada Clinic, a homeopathic center, with the very respected founder, Dr. Fuller Royal. I expected that he would tell me I was allergic to my massage oil and prescribe some remedies and I would be on my way. Boy was I wrong. After a number of tests on machines I had never seen or heard of Dr. Royal came in and started doing TFT. I had no idea what he was doing but I was along for the ride. About an hour and a half later and a full box of Kleenex I felt allot lighter, got my remedies and left. To my surprise the bleeding stopped immediately and never came back. About a month latter my energy was completely restored and I looked up on the internet what this unbelievable thing (TFT) really was and if a massage therapist could use it on her clients. As fate would have it Dr. Suzanne Connally was giving a workshop in Las Vegas that very weekend. I took the course which by the way included a video featuring Dr. Fuller Royal and his machine, the HRV, and began using the therapy in my practice right away. I decided to see what kind of difference there would be if I took pictures before and after with my aura camera. On of the first photo’s of before and after was on a man that was quite angry. The first photo clearly showed the anger and the fact that his energy was out of balance. As soon as I did the anger algorithm I took his picture again and you could see the anger leaving the aura. It was so impressive that Dr. Royal and Dr. Callahan asked for permission to use the photos to train with. When I called the clients secretary to get his permission to use the photo she said, "I don’t know what you did but he is a different man."

Since then I have worked on people who have had traumatic personal losses. Family members of suicide or drowning and fatal car accidents as well as people newly diagnosed with AIDS. Sexual abuse, panic disorders and even Sept. 11 survivors that were in the building when the planes hit are among other issues that TFT was successful in treating. All have reported being able to deal with their trauma or problem much differently. One young man came to me because he was very angry with his father. About ten minutes after the session I asked him if he was still angry with him and he said " I was never mad at him, I always just felt sorry for him." It was as though it altered his memory. His relationship with his dad is so much better now that when I asked his sister how they were doing her response was "oh, they are like best friends now." In my own life it has helped me with many different things like my anxiety when my son was in two car accidents within the same month and a fear I had of being pulled over when I am near a police car. I feel we have been so blessed with a therapy that is available to so many without the use of prescription drugs and long term counseling that never seems to end.

There is no reliving emotional traumas and sessions may last as long as five minutes to three hours. For those seeking cellular level healing by this simple method called Thought Field Therapy then check it out for yourself. Experience this healing modality in just one session.
