I bet you’ve heard of EFT Tapping – Emotional Freedom Tapping? Is it something you know how to do?
Here, I will, tell you what Emotional Tapping is and the basic method of doing it.
Initially, EFT was invented by Gary Craig, Emotional Freedom Technique founder. You use your fingertips to tap, on certain energy points on the face and torso. While tapping, you tune in to an emotional issue..
What happens, is that your emotional state about the issue often changes dramatically. Let’s look at an example of the EFT tapping technique.
Let’s say you have a disturbing memory from your childhood. You are getting caught doing something wrong. You remember the shame of feeling like a bad person?
During the years of your life, you have continued to believe that there is something wrong with you, regardless of whether you are aware that you have that belief.
Here’s how you would use EFT therapy to clear that memory and the resulting belief.
You tune into the memory of the event while you tap with your fingers on energy points on your torso, head and face. There are eight tapping points that are commonly used by an EFT practitioner.
While focusing on your memory of the event, and especially on your feelings from the event, you tap on the energy points. Your focus can also be on the belief that was formed in that event. – that something is wrong with you, or that you are bad.
The result, is that after tapping the points and tuning into the event, your reaction to the memory alters. You can go from feeling ashamed to feeling peaceful. Your emotional state often transform from resentment, upset, frustrated, overwhelmed – to feeling calm and compassionate. You can go from feeling insecure to feeling confident.
Now, just like any valuable skill, there are beginning, intermediate and advanced levels. And, after you see this awesome Youtube EFT video, you may be super-jazzed to learn more about EFT.
