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.
