A Pathway to Emotional Release

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, is a holistic healing modality that merges ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology. This technique involves tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on emotional or physical issues. Practitioners believe that tapping can help restore balance to the body's energy system, which can lead to the alleviation of emotional distress and physical ailments.

What is EFT Tapping?

EFT is based on the concept that negative emotions are a result of disruptions in the body's energy system. Tapping seeks to clear these blockages and restore harmony. This technique was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, who adapted Dr. Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy. EFT involves a sequence of tapping on acupuncture points while repeating phrases that resonate emotionally with the individual. 

What Does EFT Tapping Do for the Body?

1. Restores Energy Flow: Tapping stimulates the body's energy meridians, helping to restore the flow of energy and release blockages. This process is thought to diminish the intensity of emotional pain or trauma associated with specific memories or situations.

2. Reduces Stress and Anxiety: Numerous studies have demonstrated that EFT can significantly reduce cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in the body. Lower stress levels can lead to enhanced emotional well-being and improved physical health.

3. Alleviates Physical Symptoms: As EFT addresses the underlying emotional issues, many practitioners report a reduction in physical symptoms that manifest from emotional distress, such as headaches, chronic pain, or digestive disorders.

4. Enhances Self-Awareness: The practice encourages mindfulness

EFT Tapping: Unlock Your Emotional Wellbeing

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as "tapping," is a powerful self-help tool that can help you release trapped emotions and improve your overall well-being. This simple yet effective practice combines gentle tapping on specific acupressure points with verbal affirmations to address a wide range of emotional and physical issues.

What is EFT Tapping?

EFT tapping is based on the principle that the body's energy system can become disrupted by negative emotions, stress, and traumatic experiences. By tapping on specific meridian points on the body, you can help restore the flow of energy and alleviate the emotional and physical symptoms associated with these disruptions.

The Process of EFT Tapping

The basic EFT tapping process involves the following steps:

1. Identify the issue: Tune into the emotion, thought, or physical sensation you want to address.

2. Rate the intensity: On a scale of 0 to 10, how intense is the issue you're experiencing?

3. Set up the statement: Create a short, positive affirmation that acknowledges the issue and your desire to resolve it. For example, "Even though I feel anxious about this situation, I deeply and completely accept myself."

4. Tap the points: Using your fingertips, gently tap on a sequence of acupressure points on your face and upper body, such as the eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, and under the arm.

5. Repeat the affirmation: As you tap, repeat the affirmation you created in step 3.

6. Reassess the intensity: After tapping, notice how the intensity of the issue has changed. Repeat the process until the intensity has decreased to a more manageable level.
