EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) gently works with the body’s energy system to calm the nervous system and release stored stress. When we tap, we send soothing signals through the body that can deactivate the amygdala—the part of the brain that sounds the alarm during stress—and ease overactive memory patterns stored in the hippocampus.
Recent research suggests EFT may also support vagal tone, gently stimulating the vagus nerve, which helps restore a sense of safety and calm. In this way, EFT can help regulate the autonomic nervous system, guiding the body out of survival mode and back into balance.
Clinical studies have shown that EFT can significantly lower cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone. Even more fascinating: research into gene expression shows that EFT may help down-regulate stress-related genes and support immune function at the cellular level.
🕊️ Ancient Roots, Modern Practice
While EFT as we know it was introduced in the 1990s by Gary Craig, its foundation stretches much further back. EFT draws deeply from the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which dates back to around 5,000 BCE. These ancient systems recognized the body's meridian pathways—energetic channels that influence health and emotional wellbeing.
By blending this timeless wisdom with modern psychology and neuroscience, EFT becomes a powerful practice that honors both science and spirit.This practice is more than a technique—it’s a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself. Whether you're working through emotional patterns, chronic stress, or seeking deeper self-awareness, EFT offers a grounded, heart-centered path forward.
