EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as “Tapping” or “EFT Tapping”) is a powerful meridian modality, a blend of acupressure and gentle inquiry. Lightly tapping with a couple of fingers on specific acupressure points while acknowledging your thoughts and feelings, can quickly clear imbalance from your nervous system and body. EFT calms the amygdala, the part of your brain that triggers the stress response (flight, fight or freeze) and it quickly lowers the level of stress hormones in your body. It moves you to the part of your brain where creative thinking, problem solving and the ability to see the bigger picture and your possibilities come on line.

My tapping session was amazing! A friend’s remark had upset me and a “tape” of the remark played almost constantly in my head along with my hurt, confused and angry feelings. After the tapping session, I felt peaceful and the incident seemed unimportant. Two days later, a replay of the remark came through my head, but instead of being upset, I felt curious and thought, “What an interesting thing to say! Why would she have said that?” After two more days, the tape came again, but this time, I knew with clarity why my friend had said what she said. It all made sense. My mind was clear and calm, my perspective had returned and I could let the incident go completely.
