All about EFT!

 

Hi There,

What is EFT? Why should you try EFT? Today we will discuss all about it. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. This is an alternative type of treatment for physical pain and any type of emotional distress. Many may have heard of this as "Tapping" and psychological acupuncture. Gary Craig was the developer of this. He believed that any kind of emotional distress is based off of a disruption of energy.

So how does it work?

EFT focuses on Meridian point similar to acupuncture. Meridian points are also known as energy hot spots. This is all based off of Chinese medicine. Meridian points have the energy flow through the body. The belief is is the energy is off then this can cause disease. EFT uses your fingertips and tapping to balance the energy points to bring it back to balance. The theory is to balance your energy flow by tapping and therefor bringing your energy back to balance which promotes overall well being. This technique is commonly used for anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress, immune system, stomaches and certain pain points.

An example is  "Even though I have this _________, I deeply and completely accept myself."

Here are the steps:

1. Think of the issue that is bothering you

2. Measure how this current emotion makes you feel 

3. Use your formulated sentence " Even though I have this __________, I deeply and completely accept myself."

4. Tap repeatedly using the edge of your palm below your pinky finger.

Use it in the following Meridian points:

1. Tap on the top, center of your head. 
2. Tap on the inside edge of one eyebrow. 
3. Tap next to the outside edge of one eye. 
4. Tap on the bone underneath one eye. 
5. Tap between your nose and your upper lip. 
6. Tap between your lower lip and your chin. 
7. Tap beneath one collarbone (find the notch beneath the inside edge of the collarbone). 
8. Tap under one armpit (about 4 inches below the armpit).

5.  Repeat if necessary.

Tapping allows our mind and body to connect through the meridian points. It allows your mind to understand that you are not in any physical danger and therefor allowing your body to relax and feel safe in order to release cortisol levels. This allows your energy to return back to balance.

There is significant evidence and studies that have demonstrated great success and the effectiveness of EFT. Try it for yourself! As always feel free to comment, share, follow for more content like this.
