Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping)
Taking the next steps in life can sometimes feel hard. Maybe there are relationship issues, money or health challenges, transition in career or life. You might have managed short spurts of motivation to move you forward but have been met with procrastination, burn out, anxiety or just simply feeling stuck. Fear and worry set in as we’re reminded of past failures or we’re overwhelmed by limiting beliefs and patterns, and ruminating thoughts. As an EFT Coach, it’s my job to help to remove the blocks and obstacles and support my clients in finding clarity while moving toward meaningful change.
By calming the nervous system, reducing tension and pain, undoing limiting patterns and beliefs we open up possibility for something new to unfold. In my sessions I use a blend of EFT (Tapping), energy reading, visualization and Inner Child Healing. I have found this to be a potent combination to not only bring about positive change but to also empower my clients with tools that they can apply to any life challenge they face.
EFT, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques or Tapping, is an evidence based method which uses a combination of tapping on energy meridian points and voicing a script. This clears the emotional block from your bio-energy system thus restoring the mind and body's balance which is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease.
HOW IT WORKS
Tapping is a blend of modern psychology, Chinese medicine, and neuroplasticity. In 2016 scientists were able to prove that the Chinese meridian lines do in fact exist. From a Chinese medicine point of view, these meridian lines bring prana, Qi or life-force energy into the body. This energy flow helps to regulate a person’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance and well-being. Tapping on certain points on these lines stimulates the nerve endings in nerve clusters which reassures your nervous system that you are safe. Voicing a script to access limiting thought patterns, beliefs and programming that keeps us stuck helps to clear trauma from the energetic body as well as clear stored trauma in the nervous system. This is where neuroplasticity comes in. The brain is now rewiring, choosing new beliefs and having a new way of seeing reality and creating new habits.
EFT is evidence based and peer-reviewed. Research on clinical EFT demonstrates its effectiveness in reducing stress, anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD.
