Have you ever wondered how EFT works to manage tension, stress, anxiety, and cravings, and find emotional freedom?

Let me help guide the understanding of EFT and how it can help benefit you and your loved ones.

EFT therapy was first used and developed by Gary Craig. He found an approach to effectively communicate with mind-body medicine and acupressure techniques. Emotions and thoughts are all forms of energy have you ever heard someone say? What do we think about what we bring about? Energy whether it is positive or negative energy can have physical manifestations that affect how the body functions.

We as “beings” were designed to naturally heal. Meaning heal from the inside out. Myself & clients have been using it for years. EFT has been described by its users that it helps enhance focus, increase vision & vibrancy, improve mood and perception of triggered events, clear your mind, eliminate cravings, assist in weight loss, and help with overstress reduction & health. With consistent use of EFT has been shown to help those struggling to better handle the challenges and stress of everyday life.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a self-help technique that involves tapping near the end points of “energy meridians” located around the body in order to reduce tension and promote a deeper mind-body connection. This technique goes by a few different names, including the Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT Tapping, or simply Tapping. According to the EFT Universe website, “EFT has been researched in more than 10 countries, by more than 60 investigators, whose results have been published in more than 20 different peer-reviewed journals”, which include the Journal of Clinical Psychology, the APA journals Psychotherapy: Theory, Research, Practice, Training, and Review of General Psychology.

One of the best things about EFT is that it can be done anywhere, at any time, quickly and without the use of any equipment, medications, or supplements. What types of symptoms can EFT help to manage or prevent? People use EFT tapping techniques for:

• Reducing short-term or chronic stress-reducing muscular tension and joint pain

• Decreasing fatigue and boosting energy levels

• Decreasing tension headaches

• Coping with emotional problems such as low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety

• Improving athletic performance, focus, and coordination

• Helping to improve sleep quality

EFT was introduced around 1995, following another mind-body method called Thought Field Therapy, or TFT. In the 1980s, TFT was developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, a clinical psychologist, who found that it helped people naturally manage symptoms of anxiety, phobias, and physical problems related to stress.

Gary Craig, one the lead creators of the Emotional Freedom Technique, was one of Dr. Callahan’s students who further researched and refined TFT techniques in order to establish his own unique approach. Since 1995, a variety of EFT courses have been available to the public, focusing on teaching people how to easily use tapping techniques to overcome obstacles like fear, anger, and feeling overwhelmed.
