Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Technique

Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT (often known as Tapping or EFT Tapping) is a universal healing tool that can provide impressive results for physical, emotional, and performance issues.

EFT Basics

EFT operates on the premise that no matter what part of your life needs improvement, there are unresolved emotional issues in the way. Even for physical issues, chronic pain, or diagnosed conditions, it is common knowledge that any kind of emotional stress can impede the natural healing potential of the human body.

The EFT premise also includes the understanding that the more unresolved emotional issues you can clear, the more peace and emotional freedom you will have in your life. Limiting beliefs can vanish, personal performance can soar, relationships can thrive, and vibrant physical health can be yours.

EFT Tapping Often Works Where Nothing Else Will

  • EFT breathes fresh air into the healing process by borrowing from the Chinese system of meridian points in the body (see diagram at right).
  • While acupuncture and acupressure have focused mainly on physical ailments, EFT stands back from this ancient process and points it also at emotional issues.
  • These, in turn, often provide benefits for performance and physical issues.

EFT combines the physical benefits of acupuncture with the cognitive benefits of conventional therapy for a much faster, more complete treatment of emotional issues, and the physical and performance issues that often result.

EFT is an Emotional Version of Acupuncture

. . . except we don’t use needles.
Instead, we use a simple, two-pronged process wherein we (1) mentally “tune in” to specific issues while (2) stimulating certain meridian points on the body by tapping on them with our fingertips.

When properly done, EFT appears to balance disturbances in the meridian system and thus often reduces the conventional therapy procedures from months or years down to minutes or hours. The basic Tapping process is easy to learn, can be done anywhere, and can be used to provide impressive do-it-yourself results.
