As we have stated before, stress is a leading cause of premature breakdown of the body and a constant chronic state of stress can be precursor to a myriad of health issues and degenerative body problems.
EFT founder Gary Craig states, “EFT is based on a new discovery regarding the body’s subtle energies. Simply stated, it is an emotional version of acupuncture, except needles aren’t necessary.

EFT is a wonderful tool that you can easily learn and apply to your life. Using EFT for stress management, anxiety relief, panic attack and even PTSD has proven to be more than helpful for many people.
Here are 3 suggested ways to approach stress relief with EFT
1. Focus EFT setup statements on the actual physiological responses in the body. You can target the results of stress such as increased heart rate, shallow breathing, adrenal response, cold, clammy hands and excessive sweating.
2. Find a way to use EFT as you experience a stress response. It is very powerful to take a moment to use EFT at the onset of a stress response. When you can catch yourself this way and apply EFT you can often turn the conditioned stress response in a new direction.
3. Take some quiet time to use your imagination to replay a stressful situation and apply EFT until you experience peace with the issue. Observe yourself the next time you are in the situation and note the change.
EFT is a remarkable gift to the world. I have personally used EFT to relieve myself of loads of anxiety symptoms and have also facilitated many of my massage clients to a more peaceful and stress free life.
