EFT for Physical Pain Relief: A Natural Approach to Healing

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.

Step-by-Step Guide to EFT for Pain Relief

  1. Identify the Pain: Focus on the area of discomfort and rate the intensity on a scale from 0 to 10.
  2. Set-Up Statement: While tapping on the Karate Chop point (side of the hand), say aloud: “Even though I have this pain, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
  3. Tapping Sequence: Tap gently on the following points, repeating a reminder phrase like “this pain” at each point:
    • Eyebrow (EB)
    • Side of the Eye (SE)
    • Under the Eye (UE)
    • Under the Nose (UN)
    • Chin (CH)
    • Collarbone (CB)
    • Under the Arm (UA)
    • Top of the Head (TH)
  4. Reassess the Pain: After one round of tapping, rate the pain intensity again. Repeat the tapping process until the pain diminishes.
