Tapping (also known as EFT or emotional freedom technique) is a powerful way to release emotion from the body. It’s a transformative merging of positive psychology and acupressure. 

 

By tapping on various energetic points while deeply and truly expressing yourself, frozen or stuck places in the energetic body are cleared and released. The beauty of this practice is that it gives you something concrete to do with anxiety, tension, fear, and sadness.

 

Tapping meets you exactly where you are. You don’t have to try and make yourself believe in affirmations if you aren’t there yet. If you need several rounds to vent your anger, it’s there for you. If you need to safely express your fears, it’s there for you. You come around to installing positive beliefs only when you’re ready.

 

It is this deep honesty that gains the trust of your subconscious—when you express how you truly feel (not how you wish you felt or think you should be feeling), the subconscious stops fighting you. Your ego gets on board. You can then move toward the change that you’d like to experience.

 

In the personal peace process, you work with the fears and worries that have been cycling for you. You tap on each of them and cull the central theme to create the map of your healing.

 

As with most bodywork, it is recommended that you stay well hydrated to help your lymph system flush toxins. You may feel more tired as your body processes the emotional release.
