Consider how you feel when you face a fear you have. It may be a fear of heights, flying, escalators, clowns or doctors. You can truly feel the fear rising in your body and taking over. You know that the fear is most likely irrational – unless of course you are feeling fear and there is a bear directly in front of you – then it’s not irrational! The fear and anxiety triggers hormonal release that enables you to flee the scene or fight your attacker. But when this fear is irrational and your body has no outlet for the release of hormones, then you begin to develop physical symptoms, such as insomnia, anxiety attacks and indigestion.
This fear you feel is based on cellular memory that is buried deep in your body. It can’t be eradicated by simply telling yourself that the fear isn’t rational. You must somehow break the energy pathway in the body that triggers the hormone release and the intensity level of fear or anxiety.
That is where Emotional Freedom Techniques work. By tapping on the meridian points that are pathways for anxiety and fear in the body, you break the pattern and reduce the stress. As the stress is reduced the individual is able to perform at a higher level and improve their health.
The truly interesting piece of the puzzle is that you don’t have to believe in EFT for it to work, it is free, requires no equipment, is easy to learn and has no side effects. All in all, it is a small modern miracle that improves the way that each of us are able to achieve our goals and satisfy our needs.
