Emotional Freedom Technique (EFTi - Tapping)

What is EFT?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) also known as 'Emotional Acupuncture' and 'Energy Psychology,' is a mind/body technique and is a gentle way to release an emotional charge attached to a thought or a memory that is blocked within your energy system. 

The technique is based on the important discovery that a thought or memory (both energetic information) from trauma or stress can cause disruption and blockages in the electromagnetic energy system of the body which can manifest into physical, emotional and mental symptoms and present as behaviours (often seen as over the top or out of context) and experienced as physical disease.

The Discovery Statement:

'The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.'

EFT is known as 'Emotional Acupuncture' because it combines gentle tapping on key acupuncture points whilst tuning into issues which could be emotional pain, unhappy memories, physical pain or fearful events from the past, present or future. When done correctly, EFT releases the emotional triggers that contributed to the problem.

EFT is known as 'Energetic Psychology' and often works when nothing else will...

• is easy to learn and apply
• results can be gained immediately
• is a drug free procedure
• stress reduces as levels of adrenaline and cortisol drop and your sympathetic nervous system calms down
• is a tool that allows you to release old patterns and programming of thoughts and behaviours and to choose alternative ones.

Some examples of the symptoms that show the blocked energy is being released are:

• yawning
• burping and releasing of trapped wind
• tears
• laughing
• deep sighing
