TAPPING

What is TAPPING?

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a set of techniques that

they allow the person to break free from the emotional block they carry
accumulating over the years or from a specific problem, in a way
quick and simple.
EFT is an emotional freedom technique, as it combines the practice of
tapping (lightly hitting) on specific points of the body, to release the
stagnant energy of the body, while the person evokes theiremotions

that cause the problem are released at the same time as our energy blockage

elements of modern psychology.

The central idea of EFT is that when we feel good, without stressors,
anxieties and/or problems, the energy of our body flows without any
obstruction. However, when our energy is blocked or
interrupted, negative emotions surface, which can appear
accompanied by all kinds of physical symptoms. EFT is based on a type of
psychological acupuncture that focuses its attention on meridian energy,
which also focuses on traditional acupuncture for the treatment of
diseases both emotional and physical. However, the tapping technique

Origin

These techniques were born in 1970 with the help of Dr. Roger Callahan, while
treating Mary, a patient with a terrible fear of water, whom he had in
therapy for more than a year.
Having studied the topic of the subtle energies of the body, it occurred to him/her to make
tapping under the eye of her patient, to regulate the stomach meridian. For
to her surprise, Mary's fear of water disappeared instantly, so as not to
reappear.
As a result of this experience, he developed a technique called TFT (Thought Field)
Therapy, Field therapy of thought). Subsequently, the students of
Callahan developed his own methods, among which EFT stands out.

How does EFT tapping work?

Like acupuncture, EFT focuses on meridian points—or points

energy warm-ups—to restore balance to the energy of your body. You
I believe that restoring this energy balance can alleviate the symptoms that a
a negative experience or emotion may have caused.
Based on Chinese medicine, meridian points are thought of as the
areas of bodily energy flow through. These pathways help balance the flow
energy to maintain your health. Any imbalance can influence
diseases or illnesses.
Acupuncture uses needles to apply pressure to these energy points. EFT
use the tapping of your fingertips to apply pressure.

and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. They affirm that
stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce stress or
the negative emotion you feel from your problem, ultimately restoring the
balance to your interrupted energy.
