EFT Tapping for Pain Relief: A Natural Approach to Healing

What Is EFT Tapping?

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), commonly known as tapping, is a holistic therapy that combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and acupressure. By tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on physical discomfort, EFT aims to alleviate pain and promote overall well-being.

How EFT Tapping Alleviates Physical Pain

EFT Tapping has been shown to benefit people with tension headaches, frozen shoulder, and other chronic pain conditions. It works by stimulating the body’s energy system, helping to release emotional blockages and reduce pain perception.

Benefits of EFT for Pain Relief

• Reduces Chronic Pain: Studies have demonstrated that EFT can significantly decrease chronic pain symptoms.
• Alleviates Migraines and Tension Headaches: Regular tapping sessions can help in reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches.
• Improves Sleep Quality: By reducing pain and stress, EFT can lead to better sleep patterns.
• Enhances Emotional Well-being: Addressing the emotional aspects of pain can improve overall mental health.

How to Practice EFT Tapping

1. Identify the Pain: Focus on the area of discomfort and rate the pain intensity on a scale from 0 to 10.
2. Create a Setup Statement: Acknowledge the pain and affirm self-acceptance, e.g., “Even though I have this pain, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
3. Begin Tapping: Use your fingertips to tap on the following points while repeating a reminder phrase:
   • Eyebrow (EB): Above the nose, where the eyebrow starts on each side.
   • Side of Eye (SE): The bone on the outside corner of each eye.
   • Under Eye (UE): An inch below the pupil on the bone beneath each eye.
   • Under Nose (UN): Between the bottom of the nose and the top of the upper lip.
   • Chin (CH): Between the chin and lower lip.
   • Collarbone (CB): Just below the collarbone.
   • Under Arm (UA): About 4 inches below the armpit.
   • Top of Head (TH): The crown of the head.
4. Reassess the Pain: After several tapping rounds, rate the pain again to observe any changes.
