A few weeks ago I caught part of a video in which Jack Canfield was talking about this amazing technique called “tapping.” I was skeptical as I watched, but decided to investigate the literature and do some testing on myself. The process that Jack was describing is called EFT (emotional freedom technique) and it is a form of psychological acupressure based on the ancient principles of acupuncture. Instead of needles, EFT uses finger tapping on a series of key acupuncture points while focusing one’s thoughts on whatever happens to be the presenting issue (ie. pain, uncomfortable emotions, memories, cravings, etc.)
EFT operates on the premise that everything is made up of energy, including us, we’re simply moving it around, realigning it and allowing it to flow. The goal of EFT is to help the body to re-balance the internal energy field and accelerate healing. The underlying idea is that an energy imbalance in the body is at the root of illness, physical pain, depression, anxiety, fear, anger, etc. EFT re-balances the energy system and helps to relieve psychological stress and physical pain. Restoring the balance of the energy system allows the body and mind to resume their natural healing abilities. Practioners swear that EFT often works when nothing else will.

In order to learn about the system, I watched a video called The Tapping Solution and read “Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies.” Both of these resources make EFT easy to learn and apply. According to experts in the field, EFT can be used on virtually anything–emotional issues, physical pain and healing, fears and phobias, money, success and abundance, addictions, relationships, sports performance, childbirth fears, and apparently anything else that seems to be an impediment to achieving success. The process employs the dynamic of the body-mind connection by saying certain phrases while tapping, which facilitates reprogramming at the cellular level while one is focusing on what needs to be cleared and/or reprogrammed so it can happen faster than with other types of alternative methods.
