Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), also known as tapping. It is a simple self-help method where you gently tap with your fingertips on specific spots on your face and upper body while focusing on a feeling, thought, or physical tension.
How It Works
Tapping on acupuncture-related points sends a soothing signal through the nervous system.
This can lower stress hormones like cortisol, helping you feel more relaxed and clear-headed.
Naming the feeling ("Even though I feel anxious, I totally accept myself") while tapping helps you face it without being overwhelmed.
Many people notice the intensity of difficult emotions—like worry, anger, or sadness—gradually decreases.
EFT often includes affirming phrases such as "I deeply accept myself."
Repeating these while tapping reinforces self-kindness and can shift negative thought patterns toward more constructive ones.
Because stress can contribute to tension or discomfort, reducing stress through EFT may ease headaches, tight muscles, or fatigue for some users.
