EFT, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a form of energy meridian tapping that combines the ancient healing art of acupressure with modern psychology. We all intuitively know that emotional reactions to events or traumas cause a physical response. When we are angry, scared, ashamed, or stressed, an entire cascade of hormones and chemicals are released in the brain that prepare our bodies to fight, flee, or freeze in response to a perceived threat.Our bodies are also equipped with an energy system that travels along pathways called meridians. As with our nervous system, energy moves through these channels much like an electric current. When this energy is blocked by negative emotions such as fear or otherwise trapped in our nervous system from past traumas, it can show up in our bodies as symptoms, diseases, or limiting beliefs.Tapping stimulates these meridian points using the fingertips while verbally addressing the root causes, allowing the energy to once again flow freely. Among other biological responses, tapping also calms the amygdala and hippocampus, those parts of your limbic system responsible for encoding emotional responses and long-term memory. Not only does tapping have an immediate relaxation effect, it also allows for the disassociation of negative emotions from past events and future anxieties as well.EFT is a simple, easy to learn technique that engages your entire body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Is it any wonder why it is so effective?Andrew W. Lukonis is a certified EFT practitioner and the founder of EFT Science. He offers individual EFT sessions, group training, and corporate seminars.
