EFT tapping to heal anxiety, fear & emotional pain on your own

  • EFT = Emotional Freedom Technique, or simply "tapping."
  • "is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology," - - Jessica Ortner, co-creator of The Tapping Solution App, author of The Tapping Solution for Weight Loss and Body Confidence .
  • According to experts, focusing on a challenge while simultaneously tapping on these acupressure points sends a calming signal to the brain, allowing you to acknowledge the stress, while calming the body.

Does EFT tapping work? How?

Does it work?

  • EFT has been shown to relieve anxiety and depression; help with academic performance; minimize food cravings and alleviate fears like doctor visits,public speaking,even childbirth.
  • It has even been used with great success among those with PTSD. 

How?

  • Tapping works because there is a physical and mental focus.
  • Also, the ritualized process of tapping is meditative, which can be useful to those who feel they can't meditate.
  • A practitioner is not needed to do it. Unlike acupuncture or massage, this is a technique you are encouraged to do on your own, ideally with the help of an app.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
