Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping is a form of Acupuncture, which uses your fingertips instead of needles to stimulate the 9 meridian points on the hand, face and head. It works by tapping directly into your bodies own energy and healing system and restoring balance. Tapping has been around for over 5000 years and can help alleviate a whole host of emotional and physical problems.
First of all, you need to address the thoughts/feelings that you wish to work on and create a statement/affirmation that is relevant to you. The statement should acknowledge the problem followed by an acceptance then positive affirmation.
For example; even though I feel I am not good enough, I completely love and accept myself.
If you have nothing in particular you wish to work on and it becomes part of your daily routine you can repeat a positive affirmation such as; I am strong enough to handle whatever comes my way today, repeating it at every point through the sequence below.
Before you begin, measure the intensity of this memory/feeling/pain on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst). Below is a diagram of the meridian points you need to tap along with your personalised statement.
Like everything, this technique requires practice, however when used properly, it is a great tool to help you regain control, it really can help you leave your past where it belongs and move forward.
Remember, time is not a healer, what you do with it, is!
