Considered an alternative method for Managing Panic Attacks, Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT for short has helped people all over the world overcome anxiety disorders naturally. People who’d rather not take anti-anxiety medication, might turn to natural Cures for panic attacks such as EFT, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, homeopathy and acupuncture.
EFT is simply a Meridian Energy Therapy, similarly to acupuncture or acupressure. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique which has been practiced for centuries and works by positioning needles directly on the meridian system in the body to rebalance energy or chi flow.
Similarly, EFT is able to stimulate flow of chi by accessing major meridian points on the body. Relief from emotional distress and physical ailments can be very quick since the meridian system is worked on directly. The use of needles is not required, but instead you stimulate the major meridian points on your body by rhythmically tapping on them with your fingertips.
The mind and body is one energy system, one affects the other directly, like a stressful day which turns into a headache or backache, your mind affects the body and vice versa. Stress can be felt emotionally and physically, and can be seen as a disturbance of energy flow in the body. As they build up, more stress hormones are released triggering Panic symptoms.
Starting EFT immediately targets the build ups and disruptions in the body, relieving both the physical and emotional sensations of stress and anxiety. The tapping of the meridian points is combined with the use of affirmations during practice. Emotional pain can manifest as physical symptoms, which is why EFT is so effective since it treats both the cause of the problem as well as it’s symptoms.
Although EFT is a fairly new therapy, it’s use and success has spread across the globe. EFT isn’t just effective at emotional issues and managing panic attacks. It’s also effective at dealing with physical pain. Applying EFT is very easy and only takes a few minutes to learn, since you can ignore the science behind it and just get stuck in. You can find lots of free information out there on the Internet showing you tapping sequence in detail.
Apart from the actual tapping itself, it’s important that the core problem is recognized and worked on. Make a mental note of the problem you want to solve or put it down on paper before you start the tapping. Using positive statements in EFT is very important for maximum results. A healthy love and respect for oneself is healthy for the mind and body to grow and develop positively.
The brilliance of EFT is that it can be used anywhere and its quick which makes managing panic attacks much easier. The technique should also be applied as soon as you experience moments of stress, anxiety, negative thoughts or emotions to counteract them. Affirmations can be changed to suit the problem that you are trying to address. If you feel embarrassed tapping in public, try massaging the meridian points with your finger tips or doing it in private.
Although thousands of people have benefited greatly from EFT it is something that needs to be practiced regularly for consistent results. If it fails to work the first few times, try again, some problems need a lot more work. Don’t be afraid to use the technique for other physical and emotional problems. Through consistent practice the body’s natural energy system will continue to get better.
