Learn how to become free from your past, from addictions, phobias, trauma, anxiety and unhappiness. With EFT you can rediscover your dreams and move into a space of positive transformation.

EFT is a gentle 'meridian therapy' which works by stimulating the acupuncture meridians on the body to release emotions. (We 'feel' emotions in the body -
muscles will tighten when we are stressed, for example.)

EFT involves tapping specific acupuncture points with the fingers. During your sessions you will learn how to perform this technique on yourself, so that you use it, as needed, in your daily life.

Ranjana Appoo is co-founder of The Emotional Health Centre and a gifted practitioner, artist and health researcher. Her practice is focused on patience and tenderness.

All workshops 6.15 p.m. to 7.45 p.m. £18 (£15 if booked at least 24 hours in advance) 50% deposit payable at time of booking. Places are limited so it's advisable to book in advance.

Next Session: Monday 1st March, 2010.
