Tapping: A Powerful Method for Managing Stress and Emotions ✨😌💆‍♂️

In this modern era where stress and negative emotions can often take over, it is crucial to have effective tools to take care of our emotional well-being. Tapping, an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), offers an innovative and accessible approach to managing stress, anxiety, and other difficult emotions. 

In this article, I delve into the world of tapping, exploring its benefits and teaching you how to put it into practice.

💆‍♂️ What is Tapping?

Tapping is a therapeutic technique that combines elements of traditional Chinese medicine, modern psychology, and acupuncture. By gently tapping on specific points of the body while focusing on disturbing thoughts or emotions, tapping aims to reduce stress, release emotional blockages, and restore the body's energy balance.

💆‍♂️ How to Do Tapping?

1-Choose a Tapping Point: Main tapping points are located on the face, upper body, and hands. Points include the top of the head, inner corner of the eye, outer corner of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, under the mouth, on the collarbone, and under the arm.

2-Connect with the Emotion: Identify the emotion or issue you want to address and assign it an intensity score on a scale from 0 to 10 to assess its level of disturbance.

3-Make an Empowering Statement: Formulate an affirmation that acknowledges the problem while affirming your self-acceptance despite it.

4-Tap on the Points: While repeating your affirmation, gently tap on each tapping point repeatedly, focusing on the emotion or issue you are addressing.

5-Reevaluate Intensity: After completing a tapping sequence, reassess the intensity of your emotion or issue. If necessary, repeat the process until you feel relief.
