Emotional Freedom Techniques

SUPPLEMENT- EFT

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is an easy-to-learn self-help technique that combines three ingredients:
 

  • Tapping on acupressure points, 
  • Focusing on the identifying problem, and
  • Affirmations.

Tapping, as it is sometimes called, calms the emotions around an issue, so that you can think more clearly about the problem. EFT can help you gain emotional freedom so that you can begin doing more of what you really want in life.

This simple technique often provides rapid relief from physical and emotional issues, relief from traumatic memories, phobias, persistent grief, anger, guilt, anxiety, addictive cravings, and physical discomfort.
