EFT Tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is more than just a stress-relief tool—it's a transformative process for emotional and physical healing.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, chronic pain, or limiting beliefs, tapping has been shown to offer relief and promote overall well-being. But what exactly is tapping good for?
EFT Founder
Gary Craig was famous for saying, "Try it on Everything." This is because he understood that all distress in the body is a reflection of the health of our underlying energetic health. Our emotions are a perfect representation of how our energy is running. If it is running smoothly, we are happy and healthy. When there are blocks, we experience symptoms.
Moreover, except in rare and complicated cases, EFT Tapping comes with very little risk. And in the hands of a well-trained EFT professional there is virtually no risk at all. For that reason, it is safe to "try it on everything.
Let's explore this short list of proven ways that EFT Tapping can help.
