Basic TFT principles Let us look back for a moment and review exactly what we are doing with TFT. Put simply, we are first identifying the thought field/s that contain perturbations which, being a locus of information, become active when the client thinks about his problem. This information is referred to the physical brain which in turn reacts to that information and so generates the emotional upset. You, as the practitioner, then use the body’s meridian system to address and subsume the perturbations so that their information can no longer be passed to the brain and hence the upset is no longer experienced. Remember the computer analogy: ‘deleting the file’ from the hard disc memory so that it is no longer possible to run the program called fear - or whatever - in inappropriate circumstances? Also remember that as with the computer file, the perturbation is only removed from activity and does not disappear out of existence. Thus the ‘computer guru’ can retrieve the deleted file just as an exposure to a toxin can reactivate the perturbation in the thought field and the person is aware the problem has returned. So, these are the simple ‘mechanics’ of TFT which in the absence of any complications take only minutes to resolve a client’s problem. This speed is due to the fact that TFT is simple! It is because of this sheer speed and simplicity that so many in the traditional psychological and medical professions find it impossible to accept our therapy can be anything other than a ‘quick fix’! However simplicity has long been praised and should not be confused with inadequacy. Many professionals prefer things to be complicated - it might boost their ego to be seen working with something really complicated! Also something complicated should not be easy to treat! Sceptics will say that a simple treatment CANNOT work because it is too simple! These people should remember the wisdom of Albert Einstein: ‘Keep it simple. As simple as possible. But no simpler.’ ‘If the idea is at first not absurd, then there is no hope for it.’ We should remember that the body will not transfer huge amounts of energy during healing if it can be avoided. It will always go for the route of lowest energy expenditure whenever possible and this is brilliantly given by using TFT. Even then you will notice that the amount of energy expended during many TFT treatments will often cause the client to feel a little weary after treatment - thus yawning is usually a sign of a successful outcome!
