Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a somatic stress-reduction method that combines acupressure tapping with cognitive reframing.
1. The Acupressure Science Behind EFT
EFT is based on stimulating specific acupressure points on the face and upper body using your fingertips. Tapping these meridian endpoints sends calming signals to the amygdala (the brain's threat detector), reducing immediate stress responses.
2. The Tapping Sequence and Setup Phrases
The sequence starts with the Karate Chop point on the side of the hand, repeating a setup phrase like: 'Even though I feel this stress, I deeply and completely accept myself.' This is followed by tapping on points like the eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, chin, and collarbone.
3. Benefits of Virtual EFT Sessions
EFT is highly effective virtually because you perform the tapping on your own body. Guruji Manoj Swami guides you through the process, modeling the tapping locations on-screen while adjusting setup phrases dynamically.
