Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping or psychological acupressure, is an alternative therapy for anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and some other health conditions. Did you know that tapping on different parts of the body helps balance energy and reduce physical and emotional pain? Read on to learn more about this simple yet powerful technique.
How We Create Physical Pain
Common causes of acute physical pain are strained muscles, broken bones, dental procedures, surgery, childbirth, burns, or illness. Research shows that physical pain is often caused by unresolved emotional challenges, which lead to chronic tension, muscle spasms and constant stress. Core wounds such as rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal and injustice can cause many physical, emotional or mental disorders. Although our body has an innate ability to heal itself, negative emotions and stress turn off natural repair mechanisms, our cells go into a protection/survival mode, so the body is unable to transition into a healing state.
Tapping to Release Physical Pain
When it comes to experiencing problems in life, whether physical or emotional, the way to deal with them is to remove whatever caused them. The Emotional Freedom Technique is a powerful, research-backed tool that provides incredible psychological benefits and changes the way we feel mentally and emotionally. When we use EFT Tapping to shift our subconscious beliefs and emotions, we shift the chemicals that are released into the body. In doing so, we shift our nervous system, our digestive and endocrine systems, our energy, our hormones, we release negative emotions and physical pain from the body. EFT Tapping helps us remove or drastically reduce physical pain in a short time, in a very simple and effective way.

According to EFT International, “EFT Tapping helps us tune in to the negative patterns that we form around our uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or troubling memories. We ‘tap’ on the correct pressure points while bringing the thoughts or emotions into consciousness. The aim is to find relief, relaxation, and promote healing around the emotional or physical issues that hold us back.”
