POWER of the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

To me it seems like the Law of Attraction has become a magnet (pun intended) to all the other New Age proponents and they are jumping on the Law Of Attraction band wagon and trying to incorporate it with their particular New Age beliefs. 

Recently I have seen something called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) becoming popular and being linked directly to the Law of Attraction. 

I found this definition of EFT:  

EFT is based on the electrical systems in our body called the meridians. It is an emotional version of acupuncture except that we don’t use needles, instead we stimulate the release points by tapping with our fingertips.

Some of the meridian points ( also called acupuncture or acupressure points) on the skin have actually been measured with very sensitive instruments and the electrical charge there has been higher than in the non meridian points. We can think of the meridians like rivers along which the electricity in our body flows. This flow has been called many other names such as, chi, prana, life force, electromagnetic, electrical or just energy. EFT helps in restoring the energy flow to normal and that helps us feel emotionally and physically healthy.

EFT seems to be a New Age (nice – no needles) version of the old yet to be proven Chinese system of acupuncture with its belief in energy channels running through your body.  While my research has only been very superficial it does seem to me that EFT is a good example of a New Age belief jumping on the Law of Attraction bandwagon.    

I watched some videos and basically the practitioner talks to the subject determining what is troubling them and then gives verbal instructions telling them to release and let go of the feelings or problem and tapping them in a number of places with their fingers.  As I watched the EFT practitioner I was reminded of some aspect of NLP in the way they were working with the subjects. 

Visit any EFT website and you will see how strongly it is being linked to the Law of Attraction.  I remain a sceptic of EFT but believe that its possible people undergoing EFT are helped partly by the power of suggestion and perhaps by the Law of Attraction.
