EmoTrance is a simple natural process of transforming our emotional state. It works by paying attention to the physical sensations in the body that accompany our emotions and using our intention to soften and flow, releasing the internal pressure of our negative emotion and restoring the flow of our new positive emotion. It all boils down to the fact that 'it's all energy' and simply a question of 'is it flowing?' or 'is it blocked?' Simple? Yes, but the implications of this discovery are far reaching and profound.

EFT Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Gary Craig. EFT is based on the discovery that our negative emotions arise from a disturbance in the body’s subtle energy system, associated with a thought or memory.

EFT is a simple way of releasing this energy disturbance associated with a distressing thought by tapping or holding specific energy release points on the body so we use and teach EFT on our healing retreats. These special points are acupressure points, corresponding to end points of the major meridians or energy pathways in the energy body.

Often referred to as the ‘tapping technique’ or ‘acupuncture without the needles’, EFT is simple and easy to use, and is extremely powerful and effective for releasing stress, creating emotional freedom and real changes in our lives whether we use it for self help or with the help of a practitioner.

Workshops and professional training courses in EFT and EmoTrance with Master Trainer Sandra Hillawi in Hampshire, West Sussex, UK, Egypt and International locations.

Sandra Hillawi, leading practitioner and international trainer in the field of energy psychology, has set up healing retreats which cater for mental healing, as well as physical, emotional and spiritual healing, in the UK and in Egypt by the Red Sea.

In fact, Sandra would say: mental emotional and spiritual health is all one and the same, and dis-ease or disturbance in any of these levels can cause physical pains and symptoms in the body too. A mind body spirit detox retreat could therefore be a new way for helping people with mental health and healing.

When we are wanting to lose weight, one of the things that sabotages our success is food cravings. In the workshops on our detox healing retreats we spend some time identifying what our food cravings are and use EmoTrance or EFT to release them and create lasting changes, to help us continue our weight loss goals.
