WHAT IS EFT OR TAPPING ?
‘Emotional Freedom Techniques’ (EFT) or Tapping is a healing therapy that offers healing from physical and emotional pain. It works by releasing emotional blockages within the body’s energy system. This is done through tapping on key meridian points around the body whilst focusing on the emotional stresses the individual is experiencing. It has often been described as an emotional version of acupuncture but without the needles.
HOW CAN EFT HELP ?
There are many positive benefits to the EFT process and experience, which are as follows:
• It can release emotional and physical pain very quickly. Clients often report a decrease in their emotional intensity within minutes.
• There are no drugs or equipment needed in this therapy.
• We don’t have to be in-person for this to work. Sessions can be offered on-line via Zoom or Skype, although some clients prefer the experience of being ‘Tapped On’ by the Practitioner..
• It is very effective in working with aches and pains in the body and the effective release of emotional stress within the body.
• We look to discover past traumatic experiences which have caused blockages in the body’s energy system, once these traumatic memories have been cleared the client will usually enjoy rapid and long lasting relief.
• It works with recent or very old memories that need clearing from your energetic system. Often there are times when you can’t access the memory but you know what you are feeling. In these instances there are techniques to help to tune in to the subconscious mind and access these memories in order for them to be cleared.
• It often works where nothing else seems to. This is because the issue is stemming from an emotional root and not a physical one.
• Can be self applied after guidance from a practitioner. In this way EFT becomes a tool for life, one that you can use whenever you are feeling emotional or physical pain.

WHAT ARE MERIDIAN POINTS ?
Similar to acupuncture, ‘Emotional Freedom Techniques’ focuses on the meridian points — or energy hot spots — to restore balance to your body’s energy. It’s believed that restoring this energy balance can relieve symptoms that negative experiences or emotions will have caused. Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are thought of as areas of the body that energy flows through. These pathways help to balance energy flow in order to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence disease or sickness.
Acupuncture uses needles to apply pressure to these energy points.
EFT uses fingertip tapping to apply pressure.
HOW DOES A TYPICAL EFT SESSION WORK ?
1. Very simply we will start by identifying what you want to achieve from working together.
2. Once you are clear on what it is you are working towards, we will identify what’s getting in the way – what are the blocks, fears, beliefs or set backs that need to be addressed.
3. Once you know what has been holding you back, we will start tapping!
4. Typically I tap on you, so that you are free to let go and focus, however, it is also effective if you tap on yourself following my instructions.
5. At the end of the session we will identify what has shifted and been released and what we still need to address in a follow up session.
6. I will also teach you how to tap on yourself and sign post you to lots of great resources to keep you on track.
