The Mind-Body Connection With EFT Tapping

I've been performing EFT Tapping since 2003. I've not written much about it as I prefer to learn and then apply with clients. Yet, as I look to expand the Mind-Body Awareness & Healing Arts Center located in Prescott, Arizona, I suppose it's a good idea to begin writing about what it is we do besides massage, personal training and life coaching.

EFT Tapping in Prescott Arizona has been found to be very helpful with eliminating emotional ties. As I'm also a medical massage therapist, I work with clients who are also suffering with a lot of pain in one part of their body or another. Thus, to begin with, I'd like to copy from another post, WITH permission, just a bit about pain & injury. Let's see if you can connect this post with a form of EFT Tapping, AKA Emotional Freedom Techniques. 

"We used to believe (some people still do) pain and injury to be highly correlated and would utilize the measure of pain as an indicator of tissue damage. Unfortunately, as we begin to learn more about pain and injury, it is clear that pain is not an accurate indicator of injury nor damage. To understand this better, we have to understand a very important concept. So, pay attention!

"Pain does not (technically) begin at the level of the tissues: While we once thought pain to originate at the level of the tissue (and that “pain” information was carried up to the brain), we now understand that these carriers, nociceptors, relay “danger” information to the brain for processing. Once the “danger” information reaches the brain, it is then up to the brain to decide whether these signals are dangerous enough to respond by producing an output of pain. So, we don’t have pain receptors or ascending pain pathways as we commonly thought. Pain doesn’t begin until the brain determines it is needed. (Keep reading to see how EFT Tapping in Prescott Arizona relates.)

"It is crucial that we understand that this response is quite individualized. One may have a very serious injury and complain of little to no pain, while another may have a very minor injury and experience extreme pain. The degree of injury is not always related to the degree of pain. Hence, they say, injury and pain are not related and ‘pain is in the brain’." Written by Anoop Balachandran and shared WITH permission. What else is conjured up in the brain? Emotion! This is how EFT Tapping in Prescott Arizona assists so many clients.

I'll write more in regards to Anoop's post in the future, but for now, I just wanted to present this as a new, evidence, science-based approach. EFT Tapping as well as many other techniques (such as massage and movement therapy) are used here at the Mind-Body Awareness & Healing Arts Center in Prescott, Arizona for pain & injury.

So, the next logical question is, "What the heck are Emotional Freedom Techniques and EFT Tapping in Prescott Arizona?"

EFT Tapping is a very quick and simple method of reducing the intensity of traumatic memories. Our emotional growth has been shaped by them, and we may believe we’re destined to remain that way (in a stressed-out state) for the rest of our lives.

EFT Tapping has ushered in a whole new way of releasing emotional memories. Even the first few minutes after you try it, you are likely to find the intensity of your traumatic recollections rapidly dropping. There are many scientific and evidence-based studies of Tapping for depression, anxiety, stress and other psychological problems. They show that people who use Tapping recover very quickly, often in just a few sessions.

EFT Tapping in Prescott is easy to learn, and simple to apply. It’s so simple that the entire set of instructions fit on a single page. You simply measure the intensity of your emotion associated with a traumatic memory, then pair your memory with a statement of self-acceptance. If you would like to see video's of this Tapping process, please visit my page here, EFT Tapping Solutions

This pairing utilizes two very well-researched psychological techniques called exposure (remembering the trauma) and cognitive restructuring (self-acceptance). Then, you tap with your fingertips on a series of acupressure points on your face and body. (EFT Tapping in Prescott Arizona has often been labeled Acupuncture without needles.)

The Tapping sends a calming signal to your brain, telling it that you’re safe. So, while before, the memory might send your body into a conditioned stress response, you’re now re-conditioning your brain with a positive association.

The signal of safety sent by your fingertips tells your brain’s stress machinery to disengage. So, the conditioned association of the memory with the stress response is broken. Once that loop is broken, it usually stays broken. So later on, when you think of the memory, you no longer feel stressed. It’s that easy, and it takes just a minute or two to complete each set of tapping points with EFT.

Thus, can you now see the connection between pain & injury as relating to your mind-body in regards to both how the brain works and using EFT Tapping in Prescott? If not, I'll do my best to clarify in future posts. This is enough writing for now!

Take care, and we'll see each other again, soon!
