When life feels overwhelming, and your heart longs for calm, there is a gentle path you can take to find relief. I want to share with you the beautiful world of EFT therapy techniques. These simple, nurturing methods invite you to reconnect with your inner peace and release the tension that weighs on your spirit. Together, we will explore how this healing art can become a soothing companion on your journey to emotional well-being.


What Are EFT Therapy Techniques?


EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a tender form of energy psychology that blends ancient wisdom with modern understanding. It involves tapping on specific points on your body, mostly on your face and hands, while focusing on the feelings or thoughts that trouble you. This process helps to clear emotional blockages and restore balance.


Imagine gently knocking on the doors of your energy pathways, inviting calm and clarity to flow freely. The tapping is light and rhythmic, like a soft drumbeat that harmonises your mind and body. You don’t need any special tools or prior experience—just your fingertips and a willingness to be kind to yourself.


Here are some key EFT therapy techniques you can try:


  • Tapping on Meridian Points: These are specific spots on your body linked to energy channels. Common points include the side of the hand, eyebrow, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, and under the arm.

  • Setting an Intention: Before you begin tapping, gently acknowledge the feeling or issue you want to address. This could be stress, anxiety, or a lingering sadness.

  • Using Affirmations: While tapping, softly repeat phrases that accept your feelings and encourage healing, such as “Even though I feel this way, I deeply and completely accept myself.”


By combining these steps, you create a nurturing space where your emotions can be acknowledged and gently released.

How EFT Therapy Techniques Help You Find Calm


When you practice EFT therapy techniques, you are inviting your body and mind to work together in harmony. Stress and emotional pain often get stuck in our energy systems, causing discomfort and unrest. Tapping helps to unlock these blockages, allowing your natural healing energy to flow.


You might notice a shift in your feelings after just a few minutes of tapping. The tightness in your chest may soften, your thoughts may become clearer, and a gentle wave of peace can wash over you. This is because tapping stimulates the body's meridian points, which are connected to the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones and promote relaxation.


For example, if you feel overwhelmed by a busy day, you can sit quietly, tap on the points, and say to yourself, “I am safe. I am calm.” This simple act can ground you and bring you back to the present moment, where healing begins.


Remember, EFT is a practice of self-compassion. It’s okay if your emotions feel big or confusing. The tapping is your way of holding space for yourself with kindness and patience.

Practical Steps to Begin Your EFT Journey Today


Starting with EFT therapy techniques is easier than you might think. Here’s a simple guide to help you begin:


  1. Find a Quiet Space: Choose a calm spot where you won’t be disturbed. Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths.

  2. Identify Your Feeling: Tune into what you want to work on. It could be stress, sadness, or a specific worry.

  3. Create Your Setup Statement: Say out loud, “Even though I feel [your feeling], I deeply and completely accept myself.”

  4. Tap Through the Points: Use your fingertips to tap gently on each meridian point. Spend about 5-7 taps on each spot.

  5. Repeat Your Affirmations: As you tap, softly repeat phrases that acknowledge your feelings and invite healing.

  6. Check In: After one round, pause and notice how you feel. You can repeat the process if needed.


You might want to keep a journal nearby to write down your thoughts and feelings after each session. This can help you track your progress and deepen your self-awareness.


Remember, this is your personal journey. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Your body and heart will guide you.
