How does this EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or tapping work anyway?
How does EFT or this tapping thing work? I get this question a lot in my personal sessions with clients and in my workshops.
If we can agree that our bodies are energy and that there is energy moving around in our bodies than we have a place to start.
I use a series of magnets in my workshops or with clients to demonstrate that when the magnets are lined up properly than everything works fine but if one or more of the magnets are not aligned properly the energy is not flowing. I thank my wonderful mentor and AAMET Master EFT Trainer, Ingrid Dinter to demonstrate that concept in her EFT Certification classes and workshops.
It is clear that energy is being disrupted in the magnets if they are not aligned properly and in our bodies that same concept is happening. The idea is that in our bodies if the circuits of energy are disrupted than we have physical and or emotional discomfort.
Gary Craig the founder of EFT, proposes in the EFT Discovery Statement, “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”
So our bodies in effect have energy pathways or what is called an energy system.
EFT Practitioners are tapping on the same energy pathways that a acupuncturist would use needles.
The idea is as I stated above that when these energy pathways or these circuits are disrupted, emotional and physical discomfort is experienced.
Gary Craig describes this energy disruption like a TV with a short in a wire. The effect of this short is a ZZZZT on the image seen on TV. The impaired flow of electricity causes the problems with the TV image.
When the flow of energy is disrupted in people, some parts of the body experience a shortage of energy and others too much.
The physical tapping (EFT) with the tips of the fingers on the energy circuit points or what is called meridian or acupuncture points on the face and body clears this ZZZZT. In this way the energy traveling through these pathways is balanced and flows freely throughout the body.
For me, I don’t really need to know how or why it is working but only that it does. My clients report this daily as they speak their truth with confidence, their inner critic is calm, their emotional eating decreases and their self image soar.
