We interviewed Robin Friedman about the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), sometimes called meridian tapping or just tapping. You can watch the replay below. Please note that you will be asked to enter your email address at the 30-minute mark to finish viewing the video.
What Is the Emotional Freedom Technique?
EFT is a simple-to-learn, powerful technique in which a person taps on meridian points of the face and body while saying affirmations about something that bothers them. This helps to clear the body’s energy system of the block and often the issue that bothered you will lose the emotional intensity.
EFT works by calming the fight-or-flight response in the brain and reducing the stress hormone cortisol. What this means for us, in practical daily life, is that we have a simple way to change how we feel about an emotionally charged situation. It is a gentle yet empowering way of changing symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Being overwhelmed
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Anger
- Pain
- Illness
- Other emotions and feelings
In This Webinar
In this webinar, Robin taught us how to do EFT, led us all through a tapping session, and shared many online free resources. Once you learn it, you will have an invaluable tool. It is free, it is always available at your fingertips, and there are no negative side effects. You can tap for yourself, to relieve your own stress, you can tap surrogately for your child, to relive their stress, and you can also teach your child how to tap for themselves. Tapping can work without any speaking, or even if you don’t believe it will work. You can find Robin’s presentation about the Emotional Freedom Technique here.
Key Discussions
Tapping Points and Meridians
Tapping specific points on the body, such as the kidney meridian, spleen meridian, armpit point, and the top of the head, can help alleviate stress and physical issues. The practice is rooted in the concept of meridians from traditional acupuncture, aiming to balance the energy body and reduce stress.
The Setup Statement and Intentions
Establishing a focused and meaningful setup statement is crucial in EFT. This involves acknowledging the problem (e.g., fear or frustration) while stating self-acceptance. Setting clear intentions and concentrating on specific issues during tapping amplifies the technique’s effectiveness.
Use of Visualization and Color
Visualization techniques, such as using colors to symbolize positive emotions, aid in creating new neural pathways and transforming negative emotions into positive ones. Visualizing happy, calm moments or colors like pink and green during tapping can enhance emotional healing and promote positivity.
Addressing Emotions and Affirmations
Acknowledging and addressing a range of emotions—fear, frustration, anger—during tapping sessions, is helpful. Emphasizing positive affirmations and giving oneself permission to feel emotions like faith, happiness, and love can facilitate emotional release and promote a state of calm and acceptance.
