Tapping (EFT)

Release your untapped potential

Tapping is a simple, effective and increasingly popular method of gaining a sense of ease and balance. It is primarily used to help alleviate the emotional and physical issues that are holding you back. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques, widely known as Tapping. 

EFT involves gently tapping on acupressure points on your face, hands and body, whilst using words and phrases to focus on an emotional issue, pain or difficulty you are experiencing. 

As with Shiatsu, EFT helps you bring balance into the body’s energy system and send signals to the brain that control stress. Clinical research shows that stimulation of the end points of energy meridians sends calming signals to the brain, lowering the stress hormone cortisol. 

As a treatment on its own or working hand in hand with Shiatsu Massage Therapy, Tapping can be used in times of physical pain, ill-health, stress, anxiety and depression. It also works well as part of your self care toolkit!

More about Tapping – how can it help?

EFT Tapping helps tune into the negative patterns that form around uncomfortable thoughts, pain, feelings, or troubling memories. Tapping on specific pressure points, silently or whilst using words and phrases can bring the thoughts or emotions into awareness. The aim is to find relief, relaxation, and promote healing around the emotional or physical issues that hold you back.

EFT can help you tap into and relieve:

• Stress, anxiety and overwhelm during or after difficult situations or uncertain times 
• Pain and tension in mind and body 
• Strong emotions such as frustration, anger, depression, sadness, grief, guilt and shame 
• Issues of self-confidence and self-esteem which hold you back in your career and relationships

EFT has been clinically proven to: 

• Reduce Stress
• Lower Cortisol
• Improve Sleep
• Reduce Anxiety
• Relieve Pain
• Support strong immune system
• Increase Productivity.
