Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

What is EFT?

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) — often called “tapping” — is a gentle, powerful method that helps release emotional and physical pain by working with the body’s energy system.

EFT is based on the principle that we are made of energy, and that energy flows through our body along pathways known as meridians — much like how blood flows through veins. When this flow is disrupted, it can lead to imbalances that show up as:

• Stress or overwhelm

• Fears and phobias

• Anxiety or panic

• Physical pain or tension

• Self-sabotaging habits

• Emotional blocks or trauma

 

How EFT Works

EFT combines light tapping on specific meridian points with spoken words that focus on a specific emotion or memory. This simple process helps to:

• Clear emotional blockages

• Calm the nervous system

• Rebalance energy flow

• Reduce the intensity of emotional reactions

• Shift the body out of fight-or-flight and into healing mode

 

Although the memory itself doesn’t change, how you feel about it does. It’s like a gentle reboot for your energy system — easing the emotional charge around difficult experiences so you can move forward with greater calm, clarity and control.

 

What to Expect in a Session

You’ll be gently guided through identifying a specific issue, emotion or memory, and supported through a tapping sequence using your fingertips. This is a safe, non-invasive process that anyone can do — including children.

Many people find that even one session can bring noticeable emotional relief, while regular sessions can help resolve long-standing issues and bring about lasting change.
