EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a gentle method that combines focused awareness with fingertip tapping on specific acupressure points. It helps the body and mind release emotional charge, calm the nervous system, and soften patterns held deep within.
It’s simple. It’s powerful. And it’s something anyone can do.
