HOW IT WORKS
Understanding Emotional Freedom Technique
What is EFT Therapy?
EFT is a rapidly working, non-cognitive behavioural therapy. It combines a tapping technique with verbal phraseology to elicit an effect on the mind, body, and spirit. It is a safe and effective tool, utilizing the power of neuro-linguistic re-programming and energetic medicine.
How EFT Works
EFT utilizes specific acupuncture points along energetic meridians (similar to those in TCM) without inserting needles to stimulate the point. Instead, the points are tapped using finger tips, stimulating their energetic properties.
Alongside tapping, verbal phrases are spoken and repeated which target the goals of the individual, helping to transform mental and emotional states.
