ways of using EFT

• By yourself to release negative feelings in the moment eg anger, stress, anxiety
• With a practitioner to release more complex problems such as trauma, limiting beliefs and core issues
• With your children eg to help them get to sleep, support them if they don’t want to go to school
• By your children eg to release upsetting feelings in the moment, release exam stress
• To identify and release unconscious blocks to succeeding in your goals

The technique involves tapping areas of the body with our fingertips to stimulate certain acupuncture points while the client is “tuned in” to the problem. According to Gary Craig, the founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques, the “cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. The tapping stimulates the problem area and helps the body’s energy system to function properly.”

There are three main ways of using EFT;

• Habit Tapping – tap every day for as little as five minutes to create a habit
• First Aid Tapping – once EFT is your habit, use in the moment of a stressful situation
• Therapeutic Tapping – tap with an EFT practitioner to get the the roots of any issue and create emotional freedom
