EFT Tapping: A Powerful Technique for Emotional Healing Shaina Tranquilino November 4, 2023
Stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil have become an integral part of our lives. We often find ourselves struggling to cope with overwhelming emotions and negative beliefs that hinder our personal growth and well-being. However, there is a powerful technique called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping that can help us release these emotional blockages and experience profound healing.
So, what exactly is EFT tapping? Developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, EFT tapping combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine and modern psychology to address emotional issues. It involves gentle tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on the negative emotion or belief we want to overcome.
The rationale behind EFT tapping lies in the concept of energy meridians in our body. According to ancient Chinese medicine, disruptions or imbalances in our energy flow lead to various physical and emotional ailments. By stimulating specific acupressure points through tapping, we aim to restore the balance of energy flow and alleviate emotional distress.
The process of EFT tapping begins with identifying a specific issue or problem that causes emotional distress. This could be anything from anxiety, phobias, trauma, limiting beliefs, or even physical pain associated with emotional triggers. Once identified, we rate the intensity of this issue on a scale from 0-10.
Next, we formulate a setup statement that acknowledges the problem while affirming self-acceptance and unconditional love towards ourselves. For example, if dealing with anxiety about public speaking, one might say "Even though I feel anxious when speaking in public, I deeply and completely accept myself."
Then comes the actual tapping phase where we gently tap on specific acupressure points while repeating statements related to the issue at hand. These points include the top of the head (crown), eyebrows (beginning of eyebrows near bridge of the nose), side of the eyes, under the eyes, under the nose, chin (just below the lip), collarbone (where it meets sternum), and under the arm (about 4 inches below armpit). This tapping sequence is repeated multiple times while focusing on the problem.
As we tap through these points, we might experience a range of emotions. Some people report feeling relief almost immediately, while others may notice a shift in their emotional state after several rounds of tapping. It's important to pay attention to any changes that occur during this process.
The final step involves reevaluating the intensity of our issue and rating it again on a scale from 0-10. Ideally, we should aim for a significant decrease in its intensity or even complete resolution. If there is still some lingering distress, we can repeat the tapping process with slight modifications until we achieve satisfactory results.
EFT tapping has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in addressing various emotional issues. Scientific research and clinical studies have shown promising results in reducing anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, cravings, and chronic pain.
One reason for its success lies in EFT's ability to target both the mind and body simultaneously. By combining physical stimulation of acupressure points with cognitive reframing of negative beliefs, EFT taps into the power of neuroplasticity β our brain's ability to adapt and change β allowing us to create new neural pathways and release old patterns that no longer serve us.
Moreover, EFT tapping is a self-help technique that anyone can learn and practice without requiring expensive equipment or professional guidance. While working with an experienced practitioner can enhance the experience, individuals can also benefit from learning and applying EFT tapping on their own.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping offers a unique approach to emotional healing by integrating ancient wisdom with modern psychology. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a valuable tool for anyone seeking relief from emotional distress, personal growth, and overall well-being. So why not give it a try and tap into the power of your emotions for profound healing?

Recently, Iβve been undergoing some identity issues, drawing this helped the thoughts die down for a bit.
Itβs finals week, and what better way to βcelebrateβ my coming death than drawing a draconic version of the UGoHD/Asriel Dreemurr? Iβm enjoying working on this one. Who knew drawing a dragon version of DEATH INCARNATE would be such good stress relief?
Stress relief oc thing. They are siblings :)
DrΓΆhnendes Rauschen in den Ohren legt sich wie eine schwere Decke ΓΌber die Stille, die ich heute so sehr gesucht habe. Stress und Frust bahnen sich ihren Weg zum Trommelfell und schlagen eine neuen, nervigen Takt. Gegensteuern, ΓΌberdecken, irgendwas, um zur Ruhe zu kommen. Musik sollte helfen... Und vielleicht ein guter Drink. https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=uFX_ZQCPerk
