How Does EFT Work
When Dealing With Emotional Stress

EFT is based on the theory that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body meridians or energy system.

The Chinese meridians or energy system was diagnosed over 5,000 years ago.

The energy flow through these meridians is also referred to as "chi".

It's your body's "energy bloodstream" which is just as important as your blood circulatory system; your life and health depend upon both.

Body Meridians: Causes Of Energy Disruptions

There are a number of factors that contribute to disruptions in the meridian or energy system, but the biggest contributor by far is stress and negative emotions and how it is held in the body.

When you are stressed, those negative thoughts, emotions and feelings cause a short-circuit in your energy system – zzzzzzt - resulting in physical symptoms such as:

• stress headaches;
• pain and muscle tension;
• pounding heart;
• nausea;
• tears;
• perspiration etc;

Controlling Stress Is Easy With EFT

This self acupuncture technique is great for dealing with emotional stress and any resulting physical symptoms. So how does it work?

Acupuncturists balance your energy system by inserting needles into the acupuncture meridians or points, but with EFT you simply tune into your problem or issue by thinking about it and then activate the body meridians by tapping on them.

This helps you release negative emotions and restores balance and harmony.
