MANCHESTER - EFT Training taught by CRIS JACOBS. EFT is a procedure used by thousands of practitioners around the world which has helped people find relief from physical discomfort, panic/anxiety attacks, traumatic memories, guilt, grief and phobias. It is an elegantly simple approach which often achieves substantial relief in just minutes. EFT is based on the theory that “the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.” Accordingly, EFT is like an emotional form of acupuncture except that needles are not used. Instead, we tap with the fingertips to stimulate certain meridian energy points while “tuned in” to the problem.
Level 1 Certificate Training - Workshops are highly experiential. We will be applying EFT to real life situations for participants, especially focusing on using EFT to help people “get out of their own way” and be free to move on in their lives. In the Level 1 Training, you will learn: 1) basic principles of EFT, 2) the three part procedure that addresses most situations, and 3) refinements, such as what to do when it seems not to be working. The workshop is highly experiential, and we will be applying EFT to real life situations for the participants. Participants will receive an informative handout and a Certificate of Completion, approved by Gary Craig, EFT Founder.

Pilates (PI-LA-TEES) is an exercise system developed more than 80 years ago by Joseph H. Pilates. His purpose for developing an exercise system was for individuals to develop their physique to high levels of strength, flexibility and beauty by practice of one’s own mental control. The method represents a simple way of combining static stretching and aerobic breathing in a series of controlled, non-impact movements. He believed that his method which was called “contrology” resulted in uniform development, alignment of the skeletal system, and control of the movement, core strength, balanced use of all the muscles, coordination, flexibility, joint mobility and more.
