What does EFT mean in CHEMISTRY

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments. It uses gentle tapping with your fingertips to directly input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on your head and chest while you think about your specific problem—whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc. —and voice positive affirmations.

EFT has demonstrated effectiveness in relieving anxiety, depression, fear and phobias as well as physical pain and other conditions by releasing blockages within the energy system. Additionally, many people find that it helps them gain clarity and better dealing with their emotions. Benefits can include improved sleep quality, better relationships with others, increased self-esteem and confidence, improved concentration/focus, reduction in stress levels among many others.

To begin using EFT simply start by tapping five to seven times on each of the 8 main points located along the body’s energy pathways – this process is called ‘tapping’. You’ll be focusing all your attention on what you’d like to change or improve in your life (an issue or problem). While doing so say out loud an affirmation such as “I deeply accept myself even though I have this issue/problem” After that you can simply explore any emotions which come up for you and continue tapping until you feel complete.

The length of time required for results will vary from person to person however most find they experience significant shifts within 2-3 sessions depending on how complex the problem is. Some more acute conditions can be resolved in a single session while some more chronic issues may require ongoing treatment over several weeks or months before significant changes are noticed.
