Emotional Freedom Techniques

tapping-pointsEFT™ or Emotional Freedom Techniques™ is sometimes called “tapping”. It is another methodology that I have found to be helpful especially in working with the imprinted beliefs and patterns you took in as a child. It helps clear the energy body using the Chinese acupressure meridians. This approach also aids in working with trauma and other events from history that may be affecting you in your present experiences.

The idea of EFT™ comes from traditional Chinese medicine which refers to the body’s energy as “chi”. According to The Tapping Solution, “In ancient times, the Chinese discovered 100 meridian points. They also discovered that by stimulating these meridian points, they could heal. In some ways, Tapping is similar to acupuncture. Like Tapping, acupuncture achieves healing through stimulating the body’s meridians and energy flow. However, unlike Tapping, acupuncture involves needles! “No needles” is definitely one of the advantages of Tapping.”
