Better known as “tapping”, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a practice that combines gentle tapping on key acupressure points while consciously focusing on concrete emotions or themes.

Similar to acupuncture but without needles, EFT uses gentle fingertip tapping in order to stimulate the flow of subtle energy in the meridian system thereby restoring balance to the disrupted energy.

As with most holistic therapies, EFT operates on the assumption that a disruption in energy is the cause of all negative emotion, pain and disease. Emotional stress held in the body can impede its natural healing ability.

During a tapping session, we engage the thinking mind as a way to focus on memories or situations we would like to work on. The repetitive stimulation of chi calms our stress centre (amygdala), an area responsible for processing fearful and threatening stimuli. As we keep tapping, our brainwave patterns change, allowing us to access deeper states of consciousness in a peaceful and easy way, through which cognitive shifts can be accomplished and consciously integrated.
