The Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as Tapping, has the ability to access the parts of the brain that control stress (the amygdala) and memory (the hippocampus). These centers of the brain are involved in the decision-making process when determining whether something is a threat, or whether a fight or flight response is necessary. The effectiveness of EFT lies in its ability to influence these areas of the brain.
How does EFT do that?
Tapping is a safe and effective energy healing technique that uses specific acupressure points on the body to alleviate mental, emotional, and physical pain by eliminating blockages.
By tuning into a problem while tapping on specific points, you are consciously recognizing the issue, and correcting the blockage with body work, allowing the symptoms to go away, often on the spot.
EFT is easy to use, highly effective, and painless. It works anywhere, anytime for anyone, and has no negative side effects. You can use it to help others or to help yourself. It works for “almost everything” and is among the most effective and versatile healing techniques on the planet.
EFT operates on the belief that any physical or mental ailments that arise in the body are a result of blockages or imbalances in the body's energy system. By clearing these blockages, the body can return to a state of balance, and the symptoms can vanish.
