EFT "Tapping"
Emotional Freedom Technique
Relieve emotional distress
What is EFT?
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a technique that uses tapping on specific meridian points on the body to help relieve emotional distress. It is based on the idea that negative emotions are stored in the body and that tapping can help to release these emotions and promote healing.
EFT was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, who adapted a technique called Thought Field Therapy. EFT is now used by practitioners all over the world to treat a variety of emotional problems, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and phobias.
How does EFT work?
EFT works by stimulating the body's energy meridians. These meridians are believed to be pathways through which energy flows throughout the body. When we experience negative emotions, these meridians can become blocked, which can lead to physical and emotional symptoms.
Tapping on these meridian points helps to unblock the energy flow and release the negative emotions. This can be done by tapping with the fingertips on specific points on the face, chest, and hands.
