The Fundamentals of EFT
In this chapter, I will cover the fundamentals of EFT or ‘Tapping’.
Here, I will explain what EFT is and talk about its origin, basic structure, its applications, and how it is different from other practices.
Let’s get right into it.
What is EFT or ‘Tapping’?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. EFT Tapping, or simply 'tapping' is a self-help technique that combines the principles of acupressure and modern psychology.
EFT involves tapping gently with fingertips near the energy meridians located around the body, while focusing on an issue or a thought.
The idea behind this is that all thoughts — negative or positive — are forms of energy. Our thoughts affect our bodies in some way or the other.
Negative thoughts, stress, and emotional problems can create emotional blockage in our bodies. EFT helps remove or free the emotional blockages through tapping and verbal affirmations, leading to our physical and emotional wellbeing.
The Origin of EFT
EFT tapping was first introduced in the 1990’s by Gary Craig. The roots of EFT, however, can be traced back to the works of psychologist Roger Callahan.
Around the 1970’s, Dr. Callahan developed TFT, or ‘Thought Field Therapy’, by combining his knowledge in psychology with traditional Chinese medicine.
Craig, who was Dr. Callahan’s student, further worked on his version to make it simple and easy to use. Craig called his unique version ‘Emotional Freedom Techniques’ or EFT.
The Science Behind EFT
EFT is based on the concept of stimulation of energy meridians, which also forms the basis of acupressure and traditional acupuncture.
Energy meridians are the energy circuits that run throughout our bodies. Emotional problems are stored in certain parts of the brain neurologically.
Tapping on particular points, also known as meridian points on the body, generates signals that reach these parts of the brain. These signals disrupt the old neurological patterns and, thus, helps remove the negative emotions stored in them.
Applications of EFT
EFT can be executed primarily in two ways — by oneself, or through a practitioner.
A person can self-administer EFT by gently tapping on certain areas of the face and body while tuning into a specific issue.
Alternatively, a person can approach an EFT practitioner, who can facilitate the process of identifying and addressing past traumas and issues through tapping.
