Introduction to EFT Tapping
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT is the abbreviation for Emotional Freedom Techniques, an effective self-help tool for calming anxiety and fear.
Tapping is a description of the way EFT is used on the body’s natural healing energy points – or meridian points (the same points used in acupuncture to help healing).
Tapping is like acupuncture for emotional healing, but you can do it for yourself tapping on a sequence of calming meridian points with your fingertips.
