Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
How EFT (tapping) works
Similar to acupuncture, EFT focuses on the meridian points — or energy hot spots — to restore balance to your body’s energy. It’s believed that restoring this energy balance can relieve symptoms a negative experience or emotion may have caused.
Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are thought of as areas of the body energy flows through. These pathways help balance energy flow to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence disease or sickness.
Acupuncture uses needles to apply pressure to these energy points. EFT uses fingertip tapping to apply pressure.
The tapping helps you access your body’s energy and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. They claim that stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce the stress or negative emotion you feel from your issue, ultimately restoring balance to your disrupted energy.
Energy EFT is not just about symptom reduction. It has the capacity to give us access to the positive side of feeling good and by working on the SUE Scale (Subjective Units of Experience) we are encouraging the participant to evolve and potentially solve this particular energy blockage, thus experiencing ‘better than good’.
This highlights that energy EFT has a proven track record of relieving stress through the removal of blockages in the energy body. Further to this it can help with shifting stuck and negative emotions as well as improving the flow of energy through the energy body. In turn this has proven to be beneficial for mind, body and spirit.
The treatment of energy body stress is the main premise of Energy EFT. By releasing stress from the energy body through the removal of blockages and the improvement of energy flow will, in turn, allow individuals to think more clearly and logically. It also allows for the empowerment of emotions, thinking and behaviour. The more this is achieved, the more powerful and easier Energy EFT treatments are for the practitioner and client alike.
Body stress signs can include chaotic, over-exaggerated behaviours, illogical and/or crazy thinking which in turn can manifest into stress talk. Here the client is unable to think logically or rationally and everything may well appear very dark/negative. Reversing energy body stress allows for a deeper and more productive EFT treatment as it gets to the heart of the problem.
Subsequently the client and practitioner work together as equals in order to solve/evolve a problem in the client’s energy system. Breathing correctly significantly improves the flow of overall energy. Movement improves the energy flow throughout the entire body. Finally, positive feedback helps to stabilise the client’s energy system and lift the energy of the entire system. In turn this relaxes and reassures the client by allowing for a more therapeutic rapport between both parties.
The protocol followed will lead us to the original energy blockage which is causing the issues currently. This will be described by the client in their own words and as practitioners in conjunction with the client, we tap through from the beginning following the story protocol through to the middle and finally the end. Every problem has an origin which has been stored and remembered by the energy system, otherwise known as the heart of the matter. Focusing the EFT treatments on specific events and memories allow for ‘the healing event’ that the client is looking for within their energy system. In turn this makes the EFT treatment so much more effective.
