Sharing Parental Experiences

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. Acupuncture, hypnotherapy and aromatherapy are considered unconventional or alternative Cures for panic attacks.

Much like acupuncture, Emotional Freedom Technique uses the same principals. Commonly used in the practice of Chinese medicine, acupuncture uses long needles which are inserted lightly at precise points on the body to unblock disrupted energy flow in the meridian system.

EFT works in the same way by balancing your energy flow and disruptions. By directly treating the energy system it can bring quick relief from negative feelings as well as physical ailments. 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.

What we feel emotionally affects us physically and what we feel physically affects us mentally. Stress can be felt emotionally and physically, and can be seen as a disturbance of energy flow in the body. Harmful build up of chemicals such as adrenaline and stress hormones then lead onto anxiety and 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. When stimulating the meridian points the person must use positive statements in combination. 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.

More and more people are using EFT and reaping the benefits of this simple and natural technique. It’s use stretches beyond managing panic attacks. People have used EFT for sleep problems, depression, weight problems and even addictions. 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. There are lots of resources online to find out how to do it step by step.

EFT merges two sciences and although the tapping is an essential part, it is only effective when the problem is addressed properly. Before starting the sequence it’s a good idea to write down the problem that you want to address. Prepare affirmations using positive and self-accepting words. A healthy love and respect for oneself is healthy for the mind and body to grow and develop positively.

EFT doesn’t require any tools but your fingertips and can be applied at anytime, making it convenient for managing panic attacks that occur out of the blue. 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.
