One practice for easing tension and rewiring patterns of thoughts that can lead to psychological imbalance is Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT). This practice is commonly known as tapping, or psychological acupressure.
How Does it Work?
EFT uses finger tapping to apply pressure to acupuncture points. By stimulating key meridian points, tapping is meant to reduce the charge of emotions being held in the body and lessen the spiraling impact from triggering issues. This technique is meant to create a balance of energy in the body and has shown positive effects at treating pain and recurring emotional ailments such as acute anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
For me, I find I can create a deeper sense of balance, increased energy, and additional clarity for how to deal with triggering or difficult situations. Here is a helpful sample for these times.
Instructions
Tap through the points I illustrate and describe, and say the words out loud with emotion, moving from point to point at a pace that feels most comfortable to you.
