Get rid of anxiety in minutes: an introduction to EFT tapping & its benefits

Tapping, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a tool that is pure gold in the holistic wellness world. It uses modern psychology and cognitive therapy techniques along with ancient Chinese medicine of acupressure to do anything from reduce acute anxiety to creating balance in the body and healing past emotional blockages and trauma.

Alleviate Stress and Anxiety, Promote Relaxation

Tapping on these specific points, or meridians, of the body, releases energy blockages and calms the immune system. It’s been scientifically proven to reduce levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone. While tapping, the individual thinks about the negative emotions or thoughts that are present in their mind, effectively helping to process through them while keeping the body relaxed, balancing emotions and allowing cortisol to reduce.

Heal Past Trauma and Build Resiliency

Tapping can be used as an effective way for an individual to process past experiences that may have been a source of trauma. Keeping the body calm and physically relaxed while strategically and intentionally processing the past can help an individual move beyond the body physically and emotionally locking up in response to triggers. However, it’s important to keep in mind that trauma healing is best facilitated by a professional, and you should consult a doctor or therapist before beginning to dig deep into past traumas.

Create Lasting Emotional Well Being and Self-Awareness

Tapping is a mindfulness practice of sitting with yourself, feeling your physical body and being aware of your thoughts and emotions. In this way, tapping fosters self-awareness, self-compassion and self-love and acceptance. Tapping helps you to get to know your own thought patterns and emotions, and to sit with yourself just as you are in that moment. It allows you to adapt and flow with life’s ups and downs in a mindful way, and can be a powerful tool of transformation.
