Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), is a powerful tool for calming the nervous system and reducing the body’s pain response. By gently tapping on specific acupressure points while focusing on distressing thoughts or physical discomfort, EFT helps interrupt the stress response, signaling safety to the brain. This shift can lead to decreased cortisol levels, improved emotional regulation, and reduced pain perception. As the nervous system stabilizes, the body moves out of fight-or-flight mode, making healing more accessible and promoting balance and well-being.
