Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping)

---

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT tapping) is a mind-body tool that can quickly relieve emotional distress and often alleviate physical pain and discomfort.

When addressing anger, fear, guilt, relationship issues, work challenges, traumas, food cravings, or other concerns, the ultimate focus is on the same underlying factor: strong emotions and a disruption in the body's nervous system contributing to emotional or physical difficulties.

Rebalancing and resetting the nervous system helps balance emotions, clarify situations, and can often ease physical discomfort and pain.

EFT is easy and painless for anyone to learn and apply. It can be used with a practitioner or as a self-help tool to empower you to regain control over your reactions to life.

During an EFT session, you use your fingertips to tap on acupressure points on your face and body while focusing on a problem or discomfort you are experiencing. Concentrating on the issue while tapping these electrically charged points calms your emotions, soothes your nervous system, and helps reprogram and reset your emotional reactions back to a balanced state.

You may not realize it, but every area of your life has an emotional component that may negatively affect your nervous system. This includes relationship issues, work stressors, fears, traumas, accidents, financial concerns, and much more. Identifying the underlying emotions contributing to the nervous system imbalance and transforming them into something positive through an emotional and perceptual shift is essential. EFT is an effective tool for facilitating this change.

It has been successfully demonstrated to alleviate various issues, including:

- Emotional stress of any kind

- Fears and phobias: fear of flying, spiders, public speaking, and childhood fears

- Feelings of guilt, anger, shame, and resentment

- Negative thought patterns

- Insomnia

- Allergies

- Addictions and food cravings

- Physical pain and illness by addressing underlying energetic and emotional factors

- Relationship problems, business concerns, and family discord

- Dissatisfaction with body image

- Sports performance issues

And many other challenges.

How is it that one technique can address so many different challenges?

Every experience, including pain and illness, is tied to an emotional component. Regardless of your circumstances, emotions are always present in your life. These emotions can disrupt your body's energy system, leading to distress, discomfort, and sometimes even illness. Addressing stuck or conflicting emotions and rebalancing your energy system can relieve physical and mental tension, allowing your body to access its natural healing potential.

What does a session involve?

During your session, we will focus on a specific event, pain, or situation causing you emotional distress. While tuning into your concern or issue, you will be guided through self-tapping, which involves using your fingertips to tap specific acupressure points on your face and torso. The combination of targeted conversation and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping helps deactivate the brain's arousal pathways, leading to an emotional release that calms your body, mind, and emotions. This release often alleviates physical pain or discomfort because when the mind is calm, the body relaxes, reducing muscle tension and potentially relieving pain.

EFT is one of the fastest and easiest healing techniques available, whether alone or in conjunction with other methods. Its calming effect and impressive results are often beyond what the mind can fully grasp until you try it yourself.
