EFT Tapping Demonstration

Here is a quick tapping demonstration with Nick Ortner, calming anxiety and stress.

Why not tap along and see the effects yourself? 

What is EFT

 

In essence, it is a psychological version of acupuncture (which is meridian therapy) but instead of using needles to stimulate the meridian points, we gently tap on a sequence of energy points, whilst using spoken affirmations to focus directly on the emotional issue.  This enables negative emotions to be released to the surface where they can be more easily processed.

The tapping communicates directly to the amygdala, which is the part of the brain that holds onto trauma and stress.  As it does not understand spoken language, the tapping sends pulses to the energy system to help the emotional trauma to discharge.

Most of us at some point in our lives will encounter an emotional stumbling block that we find hard to overcome.  When we are in a stressed and anxious state, we can often become consumed by destructive emotions such as anger, resentment, and guilt.  Our behaviors then become restricted by our own fears, and we can develop self-sabotaging patterns resulting in low self-esteem and feelings of being unworthy.
