Magic + Science = The Emotional Freedom Technique! – I am always blown away by the power of the Emotional Freedom Technique, aka Tapping. EFT can improve your state of being in minutes, no matter the level of distress you are facing. It feels like Magic because it is very simple and incredibly efficient in creating lasting changes. In fact, I became a practitioner because I was able to create tangible results in my life quickly and effectively with the addition of EFT to my healing journey.
I had been struggling for nearly 15 years with major issues and blocks to creating healthy relationships in my life. I was very consistent in patterns of dysfunctional relationships with men, money, and substances. Despite being in therapy and able to trace my dysfunction back to childhood trauma, things were not changing as quickly as I had hoped. This created oceans of shame in my body and mind. I tried so many things and desperately wanted to change but kept seeing the same situations arise! It was beyond frustrating.
Then, out of nowhere, in walked the Emotional Freedom Technique. I was at a healing event in Topanga, California, in 2012, when the facilitator led the room in a round of EFT focusing on anxiety and safety in the body. I had never heard of EFT in my entire life. When the session was complete, I felt an intoxicating calmness in my body and energy. Within minutes, my anxiety was gone, and my mind was calm. What was this sorcery?!?! That elusive feeling of calm was something I was only able to create for myself after an intense 2-hour workout or a few glasses of wine.
How the heck did 20 minutes of just tapping on my body create the intoxicating calmness that I so deeply desired?? Apparently, there are tons of sciences out there now to confirm the biochemical responses in the body.
The Emotional Freedom Technique blends ancient practices and modern knowledge:
By lightly tapping on certain activation points, you stimulate lines of energy in the body. These meridian lines have been used by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners for thousands of years.
We combine energy stimulation with principles of cognitive behavioral therapy. Speaking to the body with love, acceptance, and kindness to foster safety in the nervous system.
The proven Science behind the magic:
- It reduces Stress: Studies have shown that EFT reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) levels in the body.
- Neural Plasticity: Studies have shown consistent practice of EFT has the profound ability to create new neurological pathways in the brain, fostering positive thoughts and beliefs.
- Nervous System Regulation: EFT will take you out of “fight or flight” and into a neutral space so that you have the energy and resources to take care of yourself and prioritize your healing.
- Emotional Processing: When your nervous system is regulated, you can move the emotional blocks and traumas that have been keeping you trapped and create alignment with your authentic life goals.
It is so exciting that science has caught up with the magic of EFT!! Learning to move through and process your emotions is the biggest gift you can give yourself. EFT allows you to take your healing journey into your own hands (literally and figuratively).
Once you have moved the emotions and traumas keeping you hostage in a prison of your own making, creating the life you desire becomes delightfully fun! I have seen clients create massive financial windfalls and lasting partnerships with EFT.
You can align with your desires and become a magnet for what you desire. It takes a commitment to yourself and your goals, mixed with a consistent EFT practice. I have personally experienced it countless times in my own life as well as with my clients.
The power of EFT is like a magic potion:
- You get yourself out of “fight or flight.”
- You create the safety to shift and expand.
- You process the trapped emotions keeping you stuck.
- You align with your goals in both your subconscious and conscious minds.
- You shift your limiting beliefs into positive beliefs.
- YOU BECOME A MAGNET TO YOUR DESIRES

The participants’ stories were outstanding, too!!
