What is EFT Therapy?

​The Emotional Freedom Technique therapy ( EFT Therapy ) is widely known as tapping or psychological acupressure. It draws from theories including energy healing, acupressure, and acupuncture.

While the discovery is relatively new, the treatment is evolving quickly. The purpose of the technique is to release the many blockages in the body’s energy system.

So many millions of us have settled. We have settled on lives where we carry heavy emotional burdens and experience poor health as the norm.

We no longer know how to achieve contentment, there’s no desire to reach goals and lead the lives we dream of. We’re stuck. That’s just on the emotional side.

There are physical aspects to consider as well, and often these physical issues are the direct result of the emotional issues.

Often, we choose to self-medicate to escape our emotional problems, which means we drink too much, pick up drugs and smoking.

You convince yourself it’s to help you sleep at night, yet sleep is slow to come. All we are really doing is fueling our anxiety.

It’s difficult to break out of this when you feel so trapped in the cycle.

• If you are tired of feeling tired, anxious, unhappy, unwell, and depressed, then EFT Therapy might be the answer to your problems. 
• If you are tired of spending your money on treatments that are as ineffective as they are expensive, then EFT Therapy may help. 
• If you want to flourish, thrive, and grow and you want to live your best life… then Emotional Freedom Techniques could be the answer.
  

​EFT Therapy can help you find relief, both physically and emotionally. It’s a way for you to take control of your wellbeing. The best part is that it’s free because it’s easy enough that anyone can master it.

There are a variety of issues that EFT Therapy can assist with. In addition to helping you find relief from chronic pain, it will also assist with disorders, phobias, emotional problems, addictions, and even physical diseases.
The Inner Compass Initiative breaks down just how effective EFT Therapy can be in helping with addiction. It can assist in withdrawal symptoms such as brain fog, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, irritability, anger, shame, and even panic attacks (https://withdrawal.theinnercompass.org/coping/emotional-freedom-technique-eft).

While you might think that tapping is a new practice, in actuality the healing concepts that it’s based on have been practiced for thousands of years. These techniques were designed to utilize your body’s meridian points.

All it takes to stimulate them is tapping. Yes, use your fingertips and literally tap into your own body’s energy and create your own healing.
Our bodies are more powerful than we give them credit for, and EFT therapy can help you tap into it.

​How EFT Therapy Works?

​The negative emotions that we experience cause disruptions in our body’s energy. Any illnesses, diseases or physical pains that we experience are the results of that disruption.

Every health problem that you experience will create a feedback loop, your physical symptoms create emotional distress just as emotional distress manifests in physical symptoms.

This is why it’s vital that you approach the health of your body as a whole. It’s impossible to simply address symptoms rather than addressing the root cause and vice versa.

Your body is made up of energy, just like the rest of the universe.

So, to restore its balance, you first need to repair the physical symptoms and the negative emotions that have been caused by the disruption in your body’s energy.

EFT Therapy is what helps restore that balance and assists in the conquering of those negative emotions and physical symptoms.

You will need to focus on your negative emotions, whether it’s an unresolved issue, a specific fear, the memory of a negative event… just, anything that bothers you.

You maintain your focus on that issue and begin tapping on those meridian points.

There are twelve points and each of them should receive around five taps.

While you tap on these points, concentrate on accepting the problem, and resolving it.

Tapping allows you to access the energy in your body and dealing with the emotions and issues at hand will allow you to balance your energy.

To explain the meridians in a bit more detail, your body’s energy circulates on a specific path.

Think of them as your energy highway – and the meridians are junctions that you can tap into to clear the road of any traffic that is backing things up.

 The concept stems from Traditional Chinese Medicine where the energy of the body is known as qi (or ch’i). It’s your life force.

Initially, ancient Chinese practitioners found 100 points and they discovered that stimulating them could help the body heal. 

EFT Therapy is much like acupuncture, except there are no needs necessary – your fingertips do that job.

​Additionally, acupuncture will take many years to master and you can’t do it to yourself. Practitioners study for years to learn hundreds of different points throughout the body.

 With EFT Therapy there are just twelve points to memorize. It’s also painless, simple, and just about anyone can learn it.

While it’s certainly possible to carry out EFT Therapy on others, it’s just as simple to do it on yourself.

The benefit of this, of course, is that you can do it wherever you want and whenever you want.
