Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, Meridian Tapping)

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Meridian Tapping) blends the Ancient Eastern evidence based treatment of acupuncture with more contemporary scientific studies in Mind-Body Medicine. EFT has been called a form of psychological or emotional acupuncture, without the needles.

EFT helps the body undergo a physical process that enables negative emotions and psychological blockages to release.It's believed that the physical intervention of tapping on the nerve channels whilst simultaneously ‘tuning in’ to the patient's issue is what makes this particular technique work so quickly and effectively. With EFT, as you concentrate on the stressful issue or emotion we literally change the way your body responds to stress and trauma. This technique is simple, empowering and inspiring.

  “The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s

  energy system.”
  -Gary Craig, founder of EFT

Like Acupuncture and Acupressure, EFT or Meridian Tapping consists of a set of techniques that utilise the body’s energy meridian points. The therapy works by tapping with the fingertips on the end points of the body’s main meridians- nerve channels within the body -literally tapping into your body’s own energy pathways and stimulating healing abilities.

The points are tapped in turn as a trigger word or phrase is repeated relating to the negative emotion, target problem or physical issue. Properly applied, this process clears the ‘blockage’ or negative feelings, thus regulating the energy levels of the whole system and restoring balance.
