EFT Hitting Mainstream News
Posted August 11th, 2008 by eftwizardFrom an NBC affiliate in Kentucky:
Shaun Riddle is a varsity soccer player for Solon High School. You may see her tapping parts of her body on the sidelines as part of her training.
"Almost every practice I use it," she says. "If I find myself getting out of focus, if we're running a lot and I just want to stop, I tap and it gives me more energy."
What's she's doing is called Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. It's based on the Chinese principle of acupuncture meridians.
The belief is that our bodies contain an energy flow and sometimes our emotions get in the way and block that flow. Tapping frees the energy and can help with stress relief, confidence, calming fears -- just about anything that gets in the way of what you want to accomplish.
