Benefits of Body Tapping (EFT) for Improving Mental Health

Body tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is a form of alternative therapy that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while thinking about a negative thought or feeling. The goal of EFT is to release the emotional charge associated with the thought or feeling, and to replace it with a more positive feeling.

EFT is based on the idea that negative emotions are caused by a disruption in the body’s energy system. When we experience a negative emotion, our body releases stress hormones, which can cause a blockage in the flow of energy. Tapping on acupressure points is thought to help to unblock the energy flow and restore balance to the body.

There is some scientific evidence to support the use of EFT for anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. One study found that EFT was effective in reducing anxiety in people with social phobia. Another study found that EFT was effective in reducing depression in people with major depressive disorder.

If you are interested in trying EFT, there are a number of resources available online and in libraries. You can also find EFT practitioners who can help you learn how to use the technique.

Here are some of the benefits of body tapping for mental health:

• Reduces stress and anxiety: EFT can help to reduce stress and anxiety by releasing stress hormones and restoring balance to the body’s energy system.
• Improves mood: EFT can help to improve mood by reducing negative emotions and increasing positive emotions.
• Increases self-esteem: EFT can help to increase self-esteem by reducing negative self-talk and increasing positive self-talk.
• Reduces pain: EFT can help to reduce pain by reducing stress and anxiety, and by increasing the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms.
