These are a few questions that are often asked.
Matrix Reimprinting: Resolving Memories in the Field
Matrix Reimprinting is an innovative psychological technique that combines aspects of Energy Psychology, particularly Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), with concepts from quantum physics and Neuroscience. The idea centres around the belief that memories are stored not in our brains but in our local fields or Matrix, as part of the larger universal energy and consciousness that connects all living beings.
What is Matrix Reimprinting?
Developed by one of the Founding EFT Masters, Karl Dawson in the early 2000s, Matrix Reimprinting operates on the premise that traumas and negative experiences can be stored as energy in our bodies and consciousness. This energy can manifest in various issues, both emotional and physical. The technique allows individuals to “reimprint” these memories, transforming them into more positive experiences to create lasting change.
The Concept of the Field
The “field” refers to the interconnected energy that surrounds and binds us. It’s a blend of quantum physics and holistic practices, suggesting that everything in the universe is interconnected. According to Matrix Reimprinting, memories exist not only within our individual psyches but also in this collective field.
When a person experiences trauma, that event can create disruptions in their energy field, leading to negative emotions and physical symptoms. Through Matrix Reimprinting, individuals can tap into this field to address and reprocess traumatic memories, thus fostering healing.
How Does It Work?
- **Identification of Trauma**: The process begins with identifying a significant emotional trauma or negative memory. The individual reflects on the event, gauging its emotional intensity or “distress level.”
- **Accessing the Memory in the Field**: A unique aspect of Matrix Reimprinting is the concept of “inner child work.” The individual visualises themselves at the age when the trauma occurred. They mentally step into that memory and perceive it as if they are an outsider looking in. This visualisation allows them to interact with their past self, offering compassion and understanding.
- **EFT Tapping**: The practitioner guides the individual to clear the younger self’s trauma using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which involves tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing younger self.
- **Reimprinting the Memory**: In this altered state, the individual can change the narrative of the memory. They can introduce supportive figures, integrate positive affirmations, or even transform the outcome of the original event. By doing this, they effectively “reimprint” the memory within the energetic field.
- **Testing and Integration**: Once the memory has been reprocessed, the individual rates their emotional disturbance again. Ideally, the level of distress should decrease, indicating that the memory has been transformed. This shift can lead to real-world changes, improving emotional well-being and reducing physical symptoms linked to that trauma.
The Impact of Reimprinting
The implications of Matrix Reimprinting stretch far beyond personal healing. By altering traumatic memories at an energetic level:
**Empowerment**: Individuals often feel empowered as they reclaim their narratives, transformed from victims to empowered agents of their stories.
**Collective Healing**: As individuals heal, the vibrations they emit can contribute to collective healing, affecting relationships and broader social dynamics.
**Physical Health**: Many practitioners and clients report improvements in physical symptoms, underscoring the deep connection between emotional health and physical well-being.
Conclusion
Matrix Reimprinting offers a unique and effective approach to healing traumas by recognising the interconnectedness of our memories and the universal energy field. By tapping into this field, individuals can release negative experiences and reframe their narratives, paving the way for personal transformation and better emotional wellness. This innovative technique serves as a reminder that healing is not just about addressing the past but also about reshaping our perceptions and experiences for a brighter future.
In conventional EFT, tapping is used on points of the meridian system throughout the body. Tapping on these points whilst verbally tuning into a specific traumatic memory, releases the stress of the memory from the body’s energy system.
With Matrix Reimprinting, we take this to a whole new level and actually transform the memory. You can go back to any negative memory, say and do the things you wished you’d said and done, bring in new resources and other people to support you. And when you couple this with the tapping points used in EFT, the results are extremely fast and effective.
Transforming the memory is very different from denying that it took place. Have you ever rehearsed over and over again in your mind something that you wished you had said or done? Matrix Reimprinting gives you the chance to go back to that point in time to achieve this. This has a tremendously healing effect. And from a quantum physics point of view, we have any number of possible pasts and futures. This is just tuning you into one that is more resourceful. With Matrix Reimprinting, it is all about the pictures of your past negative memories that you hold in your field or matrix.
You keep tuning into these pictures on a subconscious level, which affects your health and well-being on every level. When you change the pictures, your physiology starts to change accordingly. So you are simply creating more resourceful pictures for your subconscious to tune into, which affects the way you interact with the world on every level.
Matrix Reimprinting:
- It is quick and easy to use
- It is fun and creative
- Enables you to get to the root of the core issue and transform it
- Enables you to get to blocked and preconscious memories
- Quickly resolves trauma
- Transforms negative core beliefs
- Incorporates all the advances in the New Sciences and the New Biology
- Works with the unified energy field that connects us all
Matrix Reimprinting works very effectively as a stand-alone therapy. It can also be incorporated into any other therapeutic practice. We have GPs and doctors who we have trained who use the technique. We have practitioners who incorporate it into other psychological or emotional health practices, including EFT, TFT, Hypnotherapy, Counselling, Psychotherapy and so on.
Many body workers use Matrix Reimprinting alongside their existing practice. And other energy workers, such as Reiki practitioners, also incorporate it in their work.
As you are reading this, you have already taken the first step. There are several routes you can take to learn more about this cutting-edge technique.
Learn from an official Matrix Reimprinting Trainer
Matrix Reimprinting was created by Karl Dawson, one of the EFT Founding Masters. To learn the method as it was intended — safely, ethically, and effectively — it’s important to study within its original lineage through the EFT & Matrix Reimprinting Academy (EFTMRA). This ensures you’re not learning a diluted or modified version of the work.
Read the Foundational Books
Two excellent starting points are the Hay House bestselling books:
-
Matrix Reimprinting Using EFT
-
Transform Your Beliefs, Transform Your Life
These explain the principles, philosophy, and real-life applications of Matrix Reimprinting in a clear, accessible way and give deep insight into how belief change and trauma release really work.
You can work with one of our qualified practitioners to experience Matrix Reimprinting first-hand. Or you can attend one of our Practitioner Training Courses, for either your professional or personal use.
We have many Matrix Reimprinting practitioners listed on this site. All of the practitioners listed on this site have undertaken the Matrix Reimprinting Training course with an official Matrix Reimprinting trainer. You can search the practitioner database by specialism, if you have a particular challenge that you want to work with or by geographical area.
Please note that if you find a practitioner who you want to work with that is not in your area, they may work via messenger apps, WhatsApp, Zoom, FaceTime or telephone. Many work nationally or internationally using these methods.
Yes, but only on small issues or what we call small ‘t’ traumas. If you have big traumatic issues or deep-rooted emotional scars, you are advised to work with a practitioner. For the smaller issues, we suggest that you might also want to have a session or two with a practitioner to get you started before you work on your own issues.
A Matrix Reimprinting practitioner will be able to help you uncover blocked memories and get resolution on issues where you can not remember what happened. It is advised that you carry out this work with a practitioner for your own safety and well-being.

Our Matrix Reimprinting Trainers are hand-picked for their expertise and experience. Each trainer has been practising Matrix Reimprinting for many years and brings a strong background in teaching EFT or a related modality. Only a select few practitioners are invited to join our training program each year. Those chosen must meet the highest standards, demonstrating not only exceptional skill in delivering Matrix Reimprinting training, but also extensive experience as a practitioner in the field.
At EFTMRA, we do not offer online-only practitioner training in EFT or Matrix Reimprinting because true practitioner competence requires far more than theoretical knowledge or watching videos.
EFT and Matrix Reimprinting involve working with real emotional trauma, subconscious belief systems, and vulnerable clients, and this level of responsibility demands in-person training, live supervision, immediate feedback, ethical oversight, and carefully guided practical experience.
Skills such as precise language use, client pacing, safety protocols, trauma awareness, and recognising subtle emotional shifts cannot be reliably assessed or corrected through online learning alone.
By requiring live, in-person practitioner training, EFTMRA ensures the highest standards of professionalism, client safety, ethical integrity, and therapeutic effectiveness—protecting both practitioners and the public, and maintaining the credibility and reputation of EFT and Matrix Reimprinting worldwide.

EFTMRA practitioner training is designed to give students everything they need to confidently qualify, practise, and grow—without being burdened by lengthy, expensive, or unclear post-course requirements.
From the outset, students receive comprehensive in-person training, structured assessments, ongoing resources, and direct guidance that clearly map out the pathway to practitioner status. Rather than requiring months or years of additional paid supervision, repeated workshops, or accumulating ongoing fees before qualification.
EFTMRA provides a transparent, achievable route to accreditation that respects both the student’s time and financial investment. This approach allows students to focus on developing real-world clinical confidence and ethical practice, while knowing exactly what is required to qualify—often in a fraction of the time demanded elsewhere.
