EFT (Tapping) is a simple but powerful tool that can help you reduce stress, anxiety, fear, and negative emotions. It can also help you improve your physical health and well-being.
1. What is EFT and how does it work?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique and was inspired by the ancient practice of Chinese acupuncture and modern psychology. In the 1980s, a psychiatrist named Dr. Roger Callahan was studying traditional Chinese medicine to incorporate into his mental health clinic. What he discovered in the process was much more valuable than he anticipated. He found that the Chinese practitioner of old knew the effects that emotions play on the body and influences on our lives. They would clear these emotional blockages by stimulating certain points on the body also known as meridians. This involved inserting needles into those points to help people heal from their ailments. EFT, also known as “Tapping” is similar in that it uses pressure points on the body, but instead of needles, you use your fingers to tap on these points. Over the next several decades, multiple practitioners adopted this practice. One of the most prominent is Daniel Craig who coined “Emotional Freedom Technique.”
In short, EFT (Tapping) is a modern adaptation of traditional Chinese wisdom that uses gentle tapping to stimulate specific points on the face and body while focusing on a particular issue or concern. The tapping coupled with affirmations, designed specifically for you by your practitioner, have been shown to reduce if not eliminate stress in the body in regards to specific issues. In fact, 90% of people that try tapping have significant results.
2. How can EFT help me?
Most diseases are caused by emotional stress, so it is important to reduce stress in your life. If we are constantly ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, we can get stuck in “fight or flight.” EFT has been shown to bring you back into “relax and repair.” This in turn, will reduce stress, anxiety, fear, and negative emotions. It can also help improve physical health and well-being.
One of the most powerful aspects of EFT is its ability to help us let go of negative emotions that are holding us back in life. These emotions may be from a traumatic event or they may be everyday worries and concerns that have built up over time.
EFT can help us to release these emotions and reframe how we feel so that we can move on with our lives and achieve our goals.
3. Examples of how EFT has helped people achieve their goals
You may have heard of someone who has overcome a fear of public speaking or flying using EFT. Or maybe you know someone who has used EFT to reduce stress or anxiety in regards to becoming a new mother. Another thing to ‘tap’ on his your purpose in life or lack thereof. These are just a few examples of how EFT can help people achieve their goals. There are thousands of examples out there and new ones being discovered all the time.
One of our favorites is about a woman, we’ll call her Jan, who was afraid to swim. In fact, she was afraid of water, even showering was quite the ordeal. She discovered EFT (Tapping) and was willing to try it but was very skeptical. Jan was convinced that this was just who she was and nothing will change it. After just one session, to her surprise, her fear of water as completely eliminated. She immediately darted out of the building to the near by pool. Jan was so excited she almost jumped in! She needed to learn to swim still since had this fear her entire life but after that day, you can find her swimming and showering with no problem at all. It is as if it never existed.
It can be that fast. I can also take several sessions depending on the severity of the situation. There could also be many different aspects that may all need individual and acute attention that one session couldn’t offer. Either way, the results are astounding.
