EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is an Acupressure Point, Tapping, body-based (somatic) therapy that allows negative emotions and limiting beliefs to be calmed both from the Human Energy Field and in the brain and nervous system of the body. It is based on the discovery that when focusing on a negative feeling or event (memory) while tapping gently on specific acupressure points the “emotional charge” of the event or feeling disappears. This happens because the neural patterns to the feeling, limiting belief or memory have been calmed. The mechanism in effect centers on the discovery that the act of Tapping sends an electromechanical message through the collagen in the fascia of the body just beneath the skin’s surface. Collagen is a semiconductor and energy is transmitted through the collagen to the emotional centers of the brain, calming emotional discomfort and it’s physiological symptoms. Once the negative emotion is no longer resonating, executive functioning skills in the prefrontal cortex are re-engaged creating more positive perspectives, calming changes and choices that would have otherwise been challenging to perceive. Simply put, EFT is acupressure for your emotions, painful memories and limiting beliefs.
