EFT

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive therapy and exposure therapy with acupressure through tapping on specific meridian points on the body. While EFT is not a traditional yoga practice, it can be integrated with yoga to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Here’s a closer look at EFT and how it relates to yoga:

Key Components of EFT

• Tapping: EFT involves tapping on specific points on the body, usually corresponding to acupuncture points, while focusing on a particular issue or emotional problem.
• Affirmations: As you tap, you verbalize affirmations or statements that reflect your feelings about the issue you want to address, allowing for emotional release and cognitive reframing.
• Emotional Focus: EFT encourages individuals to acknowledge and express their feelings, which can lead to greater emotional awareness and healing.

Benefits of EFT

• Stress Reduction: EFT can help lower stress and anxiety levels by promoting relaxation and emotional release.
• Emotional Healing: By addressing and processing negative emotions, EFT can facilitate healing from trauma, phobias, and other emotional challenges.
• Physical Relief: Many people report relief from physical pain or discomfort through the emotional release achieved in EFT.
