WHAT IS EFT?

EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, or simply 'tapping', is a powerful mind–body practice from the field of Energy Psychology.

Based on principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, EFT works with the same meridian points as acupuncture, minus the needles.

EFT helps us clear and rewire fears, doubts and limiting beliefs at the root. It also helps us release stuck and stagnant emotions from unprocessed experiences that are still living in our bodies, energetic system, nervous system and mind.

HOW DOES EFT WORK?

We gently tap on specific acupressure points on the upper body while voicing whatever it is that’s weighing on us. Tapping on these points signals to the body that it’s safe to relax, despite us thinking about whatever it is that creates a stress response in our system.

This allows our brains to uncouple the ‘trigger’ and ‘automated stress response’.

This means stress levels lower, past experiences can be processed and filed properly, stuck emotions, fears and doubts begin to ease and beliefs begin to shift.

The result is a profound sense of relief, calm and clarity and the space and receptivity to anchor in new and supportive emotions, perspectives and beliefs.

WHAT MAKES EFT SO POWERFUL

EFT does not happen at the level of ‘let’s just talk it out’ but offers a very safe and gentle access to the systems that govern how we feel, think, decide and act and allows us to target the root rather than the symptoms.

With EFT, we can:

• Access the subconscious mind, which shapes our thoughts, feelings, decisions, and behaviors about 95% of the time (!!!)

• Work with the body and energetic system, where unresolved experiences and unprocessed emotions are stored

• Calm and regulate the nervous system, which is often on high alert and misidentifies threats, keeping us locked in stress, fear and/or anxiety.

By addressing all of these levels simultaneously, EFT supports deep emotional release, transformation and the creation of new, empowering patterns, perspectives, habits and beliefs.

SO HOW DO I FEEL AFTER A SESSION?

• Relief and lightness: Tension and heaviness in the body melt away, like a weight being lifted. Delicious freedom.

• Clarity and calm: Thoughts feel clearer and calmer and the nervous system moves out of high alert, creating a sense of stability, being relaxed and deeeeeper breathing.

• Emotional freedom: As old fears, anxieties and stuck emotions release, there is room for the naturally present joy of being alive, creativity, giddiness and awe to bubble to the surface.

• Empowerment and confidence: As limiting beliefs dissolve, decisions and actions feel easier, more aligned and authentic.

• Connection to self: A deep sense of being wonderfully centered, grounded and fully present in your body and life.

• Flow and ease: Habits and reactions shift naturally, allowing life to be experienced with more spontaneity, creativity and alignment with your true values.
