If this is the first time you have become aware of this energy technique, EFT is a system of tapping on points of the body to release energy blocks caused by stuck emotions. Please feel free to see my tapping points chart. We are all designed to feel the whole range of human emotions, but sometimes instead of experiencing the feelings and letting them go, they can remain stuck in our system. Prolonged stuck emotion can cause physical symptoms and increasingly intense levels of discomfort....
If you are reading this you may be suffering with anxiety and stress and wondering, how on earth can tapping on your body eliminate the anxiety and stress symptoms we experience, on a daily basis.For myself, I suffered horrendous anxiety. I mean, if we actually were to write down every anxiety symptom I probably had them all. I had a fear of choking, panic attacks, OCD, irrational thoughts... you get the idea. So, one day I went to see a guy for tapping (this was over 10 years ago) and I...
EFT is a technique that aims to help you release negative emotions and move past blocks in your life. The technique involves tapping certain points on the body (believed to be linked with energy or meridian points) and using specific language. The combination of kinetic energy and specific language is believed to have a powerful effect on our whole selves.
But, what exactly does tapping involve?

First of all let’s look at what emotional freedom technique (EFT) actually is. As with many complementary approaches, EFT is based on the premise that we have channels of energy within the body.
It is thought that when these energy lines get blocked, the energy becomes unbalanced and can become mentally or physically unwell. In the western world, we are beginning to appreciate the powerful link between our emotional and physical health. As well as affecting our health, emotional blocks can...
Ever had that feeling in your solar plexus - like an emotional version of the twang of an elastic band? You feel it in your body and it can be triggered just by recalling an upsetting incident. These feelings can really take you off-guard; at best they make you feel uneasy, at worst a gibbering wreck. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is great at neutralising these emotions, enabling you to regain composure in a matter of minutes – it really is ‘emotional first aid’....
“Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” - Tao Te Ching As mentioned in the previous post, ancient Chinese medicinal practices put a great amount of emphasis on energy (chi or qi in Chinese or Prana in Vedantic philosophy) that flows around the body through a system of meridians, or in modern Western terms: “an intricate network of connective tissue, known as cytoskeleton, which allows subtle energy to be transmitted throughout it”.

Are you, or someone you love, anxiously awaiting A Level results on Thursday? We all struggle with change at times in our lives and the prospect of leaving home to embark on university life is one of the big ones! In early August each year I am very aware of those students who, having finished their A Levels in June, do not know yet where they’ll be living and what they’ll be doing in six weeks’ time. Many young people experience the move to university as a...

sweaty palms churning stomach pounding heart sleeplessness tiredness anxiety and irritability.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a type of psychological acupressure. There are no needles involved; instead fingertips are used to tap the acupressure points, while you think or speak about something that may be troubling you.
