EFT Tapping

EFT means “Emotional Freedom Techniques” and is a powerful self-help method based on research showing that emotional trauma contributes greatly to disease. Clinical trials have shown that EFT tapping is able to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories and incidents that trigger emotional distress.

Once the distress is reduced or removed, the body can often rebalance itself, and accelerate healing.

EFT uses elements of Cognitive Therapy and Exposure Therapy, and combines them with Acupressure, in the form of fingertip tapping on 12 acupuncture points. Over 100 papers published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals, including dozens of clinical trials, have demonstrated that EFT is effective for phobias, anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, pain, and other problems.

Pain Relief With EFT

The results of EFT for pain management are often long-lasting, especially when you tackle the emotional issues that often exacerbate pain.

EFT addresses two of the underlying aspects of pain. These are:

1 – Disrupted Electromagnetic Fields:

When you get an MRI or EEG test at a hospital, the medical professionals are using information from your body’s electromagnetic fields for diagnosis and treatment. When these fields are out of balance, due to stress or emotional upset, your health can be compromised, resulting in pain and disease. EFT is able to calm those upsets quickly, resulting in a balance in your energy fields. EFT’s easy-to-learn process allows even beginners to produce emotional calm by tapping on certain “release points” on the body.

2 – Stress Neurochemistry:

It is a well established medical fact that our emotions trigger shifts in the hormone and neurotransmitter balance in our bodies. Joyous emotions can produce healthy hormonal shifts, while negative emotions stimulate the production of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Emotional stress contributes to many physical symptoms, from high blood pressure to heart disease. Negative emotions are also a major contributor to pain. We have seen hundreds of cases in which pain subsides once negative emotions have been addressed with EFT.

Properly done, the EFT process address both of these potential sources of pain simultaneously.
