What Is EFT?
EFT is similar to massage and acupuncture without needles. It is more like a form of acupressure or a tool to release blockages, emotions, memories that are stored in various parts of our bodies in our bodies/brains electrical systems. It is a form of body work…that works on the emotions and the beliefs we have hidden in our subconscious minds and areas of our bodies.
So, you may say…what electrical system? Our brains control the movements of our bodies. Our bodies have electrical systems that carry signals from the brain that produces a signal to tell our bodies, organs and glands what to do, how to do it and to tell it to stop doing things as well …except when there are old physical injuries, emotional injuries and impingements blocking those areas the signals are trying to run through.
Massage? How is it massaging? Massage has many different types of body work including tapotement. Tapotement is a form of stroke, pounding and tapping to stimulate the body. It is usually rhythmic, mostly fast percussion using the palms of the hands, the edge of the hands or the tips of the fingers.
Lightly beating on the body with the edge of the hand is also called Hacking. Cupping is curving the hand in a cup shape and gently striking the body. With the fingers, you drum and twiddle them and lightly tap, for instance on the face where deeper and harder contact would not be best.. Tapotement is primarily used to stimulate the endorphins, circulation and often to release or inhibit pain signals.
EFT is hacking the edges of the hands together and using rubbing and tapping of the fingers on areas of our bodies to perform emotional releases we have stored in the energy meridians of the body. Studies have been made for centuries about the energy systems of the bodies and EFT is one of many ways to emotionally cleanse the meridians of old stagnant emotions we stuffed or accidentally imprinted in ourselves. EFT is a bit like resetting the breakers that were shut off or flipped due to over amperage in our electrical systems.
