Have you heard of Emotional Freedom Technique? EFT is a scientifically proven way to rewire your brain and interrupt anxiety, panic attacks, fear, social anxiety, phobias, compulsive behaviors, stress and trauma in many people. The Energy Tapping script that I created around the issue is below… 

Greetings Beautiful,

 

As long as we’re breathing, there is stress. Our brains go into fight, freeze or flight mode, ready to rumble with the tigers in the jungle. Because most of us are not battling tigers, the fear and anxiety that can send our bodies into overdrive does not always have a helpful purpose.

The great thing is that we’re getting more comfortable with conversations around coping with stress and anxiety. This is particularly important as both women and men are focused on giving the picture of perfection. We put on our Glamouflage to distract from the fact that we’re terrified and inside folks are stressed, depressed and well-dressed – drinking, drugging, sexing, under-nourishing and over-working ourselves to distract and numb from what we’re really feeling.

EFT is one methodology that works for me. 

  • Whether you are dealing with relationship drama, money stress, career anxiety or mild depression, this acupressure technique may be helpful and healing for you. The great thing is that you don’t even need a practitioner. You can do EFT Tapping yourself. If you can’t see my EFT for Anxiety video, click here.


EFT, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique is one technology that can be incredibly helpful in maintaining a healthy state of mind. Tapping has been helpful for me for a myriad of issues including emotional eating. Journaling has also been very healing for me personally in dealing with anxiety.

If you’re looking to learn more about acupressure and this EFT Tapping energy healing technique, Nick Ortner’s new book, “The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living”  is unparalleled. This textbook on healing from Hay House explores the science behind this life-changing mode that has been proven to help with trauma and all kinds of issues from compulsive eating to depression. Of course, check with your own healthcare provider to find solutions that work for you. I recommend the book both as a love and life coach and as someone finds tapping powerful in her personal healing arsenal.
