Meridian Energy Therapy started to gain so much attention after its huge success in the early 1980s.
It is a revolutionary healing therapy which uses the body´s energy system to treat psychological problems such as fear, anxiety, phobias, traumas, agression, guilt, shame, etc.
Meridian Energy Therapy works directly on the meridian system in the body and instead of using needles as in acupuncture, it stimulates the major meridian points by tapping on them or massaging them lightly.
Dr. Roger Callahan researched and created the original Meridian Energy Therapy, namely Thought Field Therapy.
According to his theory, a person who suffers from, lets say fear, has a disturbance on his thought field and his/her present emotion is not the result of a trauma lived in the past; and every mental disturbance is associated to one or more energy meridians. In order to release the negative emotion (fear) it is necessary to "repair" his/her thought field. Using Thought Field Therapy through tapping on the meridians, not only the thought field will be fixed, but the correspondent blockages on the meridians as well.
Variety of METs
In recent years, due to the extraordinary success of MET, therapists coming from different fields came up with different meridian energy techniques.
In the US, Gary Craig, a Stanford Engineer, designed and developed EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques. He came up with the idea to just tap all the meridian points for every presenting problem, so whichever point or points were the correct ones, they would always be covered by default.
His protocol was known for its user friendly, easy design, which brought thousands of professionals and lay people to get to know the wonderful benefits of using Meridian Energy Therapy on their daily lives.
According to Craig, the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the bodys energy system.
In Germany, Rainer and Regina Franke developed MET according to Franke. According to their theory, "all negative emotions are caused by an energetic blockade in the energy system of the body and by smooth tapping of certain meridian points these blockades can be solved permanently. Harmony, relaxation, serenity are the result of a natural energy flow in the meridians".
