Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an alternative therapy, which includes various other therapies like energy medicine, acupressure and neuro-linguistic programming. It involves tapping on specific therapeutic acupressure points.
Principle
As given by Chinese medicine, there are acupuncture points and meridians that extend to the brain. Tapping on these points enable individuals to release their negative emotions and modify their brain functioning. This can help them to reduce neurological problems. Hence, this therapy is based on acupuncture and is used to relieve negative emotions by tapping.
Method
This is also considered as an emotional form of acupuncture. There are 13 specific therapeutic points identified, which can help to access the energy structure. When individuals are able to reach these points they can help themselves to release their negative emotions.
There are two basic areas that need to be worked out while practicing EFT. One is location and technique of tapping the therapeutic points and the other is positive affirmations. Tapping is done gently but by firmly using the fingers.
Benefits
EFT can be successfully used by those who wish to remove negative feelings, remove negative thoughts, wish to stay away from unwanted cravings and desires, and wish to implement new objectives or lose weight.
