MERIDIAN THERAPIES
Meridian Therapy is essentially comprised of five related but distinct therapeutic techniques. They are: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT), Be Set Free Fast (BSFF), Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and FREEWAY-CER EFT was developed in America by Stanford engineer, Gary Craig from Dr Roger Callahan's "Thought Field Therapy" (see below) and can best be described as Acupuncture without needles. The technique employs tapping on or the light massaging of, various acupuncture points, while concentrating on the presented problem. It is claimed to be widely applicable and effective, with relief often being obtained in a few minutes. The technique is simple to learn and is often taught to clients for their future use. TAT was developed in America by the acupuncturist, Tapas Fleming but does not employ either needles or pressure. Rather, it involves touching acupressure points lightly while considering various factors around the presenting problem. It was initially used in the treatment of allergies but has since been extended to a wide range of problems from physical and emotional distress to major trauma. It is claimed to be a fast and effective method of obtaining lasting solutions to the problems presented. BSFF was developed in America by clinical psychologist, Larry Nims, again following the work of Dr Roger Callahan's "Thought Field Therapy". It developed along separate lines to EFT (see above) however, utilising different tapping points and techniques. Later versions, often referred to as iBSFF, do not use tapping at all. The technique is claimed to be simple yet very effective. TFT was originally developed by psychologist, Dr Roger Callahan and is the basis for the later techniques of EFT and BSFF (see above). Unlike EFT, however (which requires the student to learn only one comprehensive tapping routine to cover all presenting problems), TFT requires the student to learn ten to fifteen different tapping routines (called algorithms), where each routine is designed to cover a specific problem only. FREEWAY-CER Meridian Energy System was initiated by British couple, Tom Bolton and Beverley Anderson. It is claimed to be a complete self development system that can be used by almost anyone seeking rapid change, improvement in life and relief from a wide variety of uncomfortable conditions. At its centre is the Change Energy Routine (CER) procedure which differs in many ways from other energy therapies, the development of which has been based on the ancient energy theories that the initiators have researched, adapted and devised over the last 17 years.
