What is EFT and how can it help you towards a balanced life?

What is EFT precisely?

Imagine that your emotions reside not only in your head, but also in your body. That is the basis of EFT. This technique, also known as "tapping," combines elements of Eastern medicine (acupressure) with modern psychology. It is a simple, accessible method in which you gently tap with your fingertips on specific points on your face and upper body. These are the same points as the meridians you know from acupuncture. While tapping, you focus on the emotion or problem you are experiencing and repeat phrases that acknowledge this feeling.

The idea behind this is that negative emotions cause a disruption in our body's energy system. By tapping on these meridians, you remove that disruption and the emotion can be released, causing the tension to decrease.

How can EFT help you?

EFT is a powerful tool that you can use for a variety of complaints. It has been proven effective for:

• Stress and burnout: It helps to lower the constant tension in your body and reduce the emotional burden caused by burnout.
  

• Anxiety and phobias: By tapping on the fear you feel, you can significantly lower its intensity, making your anxiety reactions less strong.
  

• Unprocessed traumas: EFT can gently help process the emotional charge of painful memories, without having to relive the event over and over again.
  

• Physical pain: Since emotions and physical complaints are often connected, EFT can alleviate the emotional component of pain.
  

• Limiting beliefs: Feelings such as 'I am not good enough' or 'I can't do this' can be addressed by letting go of the emotion behind them.
