What Is Emotional Freedom Technique?

Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as EFT or "tapping", is an ultra-modern complementary therapy that can be used by anybody. It is easy to learn, causes no pain and you need no special equipment to do it!

EFT is a surprising natural healing aid you can use for almost everything. This technique is something like acupuncture, however, there are NO needles used for EFT! Acupuncture is based on the Chinese meridian energy system, and so is EFT tapping! It works on the body's energy systems and was originally developed by an American called Gary Craig following the discovery that imbalances in your energy systems can have a huge impact on personal psychology.

How does EFT work?

Your body has a constant flow of electrical messages being sent around your body. If there is a build-up of emotional or psychological distress, one of the pathways or meridians becomes blocked and must be cleared, strengthened or realigned in order for healing to occur. The energy circuits are then realigned and balance to the energy system is restored.

Strong negative emotions cause a shock in our systems, creating the equivalent of a short-circuit in our energy system. Strong emotions can be triggered by a thought, a memory or an event (depending on how you think about the event).

For instance, if you think about how angry you are that your boss yelled at you, you may feel tension (even pain ie a headache) in your body, whereas if you have positive thoughts, you don't have this reaction.

Using EFT balances the energy system, which stops the power of that thought affecting your body in that way. You may still have the thought and the memory of what occurred, but without the intensity that the thought was associated with. You are then much more able to think about the event differently. Your thoughts become more flexible. Perhaps your boss was having a bad day and has his own challenges to deal with. You may not have been able to think this way before because you were consumed with emotion.

EFT uses the tips of your fingers to lightly tap various spots which are located on your face and body. The process of gently tapping on these "tapping points" clears the blockages and allows the smooth flow of energy once again. Tapping whilst you think about your specific problem, whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain etc and stating positive affirmations works to clear the "short circuit".

I'm Still Not Sure This Works

Now, anyone in their right mind would be questioning whether this is too good to be true and I know it sounds kind of cheesey because I know I took some convincing about it myself!

It only takes a few minutes to try EFT and even if you dont feel like you have an issue in particular I bet you will feel more relaxed after tapping through the process.
