What is EFT Tapping?

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques and it involves tapping on acupressure points* while you are speaking about something that’s emotionally charged, followed by an acceptance statement. For example, the set-up statement of: “Even though I'm feeling angry and disappointed,” followed by an acceptance statement of: “I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

As a result of tapping on acupressure points, while expressing your emotions, your cortisol levels are quickly lowered, promoting a feeling of well-being. Here is a recent study that shows that EFT Tapping, an “evidence-based self-help therapeutic method,” Improves Multiple Physiological Markers of Health.

*In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these acupressure points are located along meridians of energy in the body. Read more about these energy channels in the body (meridians in TCM, and nadis in Ayurveda).
