EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a gentle and highly effective "energy psychology" that helps people achieve freedom from the emotional imbalances that have created problems in their lives, by clearing specific issues blocking their emotional happiness or personal growth. It is based on the premise that all negative emotions are the result of a disruption in the body’s energy system. EFT is a form of acupuncture without the use of needles where certain energy meridians are gently stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips.  It is a very successful tool for reducing or eliminating procrastination, anxieties, addictions, stress, fears, trauma and much more.

Using EFT involves determining  the issue you want to address and then tapping on specific acupressure points with your fingers. EFT works through the power of energy meridians and the tapping serves to release the blockages that are created when a person becomes involved in an emotionally disturbing circumstance. When this blockage is released, the emotions come into balance. For example if you had a traumatic experience in the past which is negatively influencing your life and stopping you from living the life you always wanted to, you would be asked to think about that situation and notice how you feel. However, you do not have to relive this traumatic experience but you just have to be aware that the negative feeling is there. You are then shown which points to tap, and what words to say as you do so. Having done that you are then asked to think about that situation again and check how you feel. You will normally notice a significant reduction in the intensity of the feeling. If it's not completely eliminated then the EFT process is repeated until full balance is restored.
