EFT: Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, otherwise known as tapping. Tapping is a natural and powerful stress relief technique based on the principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. The basic technique requires you to focus on a negative emotion—a fear, worry, or anything causing you stress—and while maintaining mental focus on the issue, you use your fingers to tap five to seven times on nine specific meridian points of the body.
According to experts, focusing on a challenge while simultaneously tapping on these acupressure points sends a calming signal to the brain, allowing you to acknowledge the negative emotion while calming the brain/body. We don't only experience negative emotions in the mind, and we experience them physically as well. Tapping is a true mind-body connection.
