EFT Tapping is growing up. It is gaining traction in the world. And for good reason, simply said: ‘it works’!
Over 300 peer reviewed scientific studies show that it is effective and how it works on a wide range of issues. Millions of people use books, apps and meditations to find relief from stress through tapping. And more and more people discover the power of doing the deeper work with a practitioner.
How can something so simple work on almost everything?
How can something so simple work on almost everything ranging from anxiety, depression, physical pain, insomnia, procrastination, people pleasing, fibromyalgia, burnout, PTSD, phobias, limiting beliefs, migraines, relationship issues, even ancestral trauma and much, much more?!?!?!
Here is why:
All these issues have a common denominator: STRESS.
And EFT reduces stress. Quite effectively. A study has shown that in just 1 hour of tapping, the levels of your stress hormone cortisol reduce by 24%!!! Which is significantly more than in the psychotherapy and no treatment groups, which both sat on about 14%.
The negative effects of chronically high cortisol
Stress hormones affect a large number of processes in the body. Chronically high cortisol can lead to brain fog, anxiety and depression as well as insomnia. It weakens your muscles and leads to longer recovery time from exercise. It negatively affects your immune system, leads to higher blood pressure, digestive upset and reduced libido, to name a few.
So lowering your cortisol levels by tapping is already a game changer!
General versus specific tapping
You can tap on general issues, such as stress, anxiety, overwhelm when you experience them. You will calm down your nervous system in the moment and feel better. This is great!! But … the feeling might return, next time you face a similar situation. You can tap again, and again and over time your nervous system will learn a different response, which does work but could be a lengthy process.
There is more you can do. In Clinical EFT, your practitioner helps you to work on the emotional and psychological stress of specific memories and events that lay at the root of your current responses. Doing so alongside sending the physiological calming tapping signals to the body, something profound happens: not only do you then feel calmer in the moment, your brain starts to actually ‘update’ old emotional patterns.
Updating and rewiring old emotional patterns and responses
When you experienced something that upset you, you feel these emotions every time you think about it, such as when a something in a current situation provides a trigger to this memory. This is something that you aren’t always conscious of. But when you actively remember the original event and tap at the same time, you are telling your nervous system: “Hey, it’s okay. That was in the past. There is no need to get upset now”, and the brain ‘re-saves’ the memory, but with less emotional intensity attached to it. And often with a new perspective on the current situation as well. This is the rewiring process!
Can you see the power of this? The potential to profoundly change your life?
