The benefits of whole body tapping EFT

Whole Body Patting (EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique) stimulates the energy meridians of the body through vibration, while increasing blood and lymph circulation.

In short, tapping yields enormous benefit. Simply on a physical level, tapping improves blood circulation, helps release tension, and improves skin elasticity, thereby reducing pain and promoting the healing process.

Body tapping circulates energy through the body and stimulates the central and peripheral nervous systems, helping to settle the mind, release stress and emotions, increase energy levels, and sharpen the senses.

The benefits of tapping can be greatly increased by regulating the mind. As with meditation, rather than letting your mind wander as you tap, keep directing your attention to the sensations in your body. For example, try to notice the vibration as it stimulates the muscles in your body and calmly watch, rather than react to, any emotions or pain that may surface through the tapping.

As you allow your mind to “sink into” and accept the feelings in your body, true transformation can occur: you can uncover and release old emotions and self-effacing beliefs, heal chronic pain and intransigent illness, and naturally experience feelings of inner peace, gratitude, and unconditional love.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not! When practiced with deep awareness and acceptance, tapping helps you release the many layers of stress and emotion that you may have built up inside over time, and allow you to experience a more essential part of your being.

You can thus encounter a deeper, common core of self from which you can experience a sense of connection with yourself and with the world. It enables you to hear the messages that your body is sending to guide you to a state of well-being.

Of course, as with any exercise, don’t overdo it. Stinging and pain are normal signs of blockage and stiffness in the body. However, if you feel excessive pain, try tapping more lightly or move to a different part of the body.

If you have specific health conditions, please consult a physician before trying this or any other exercise.

Stand with you feet parted shoulder-width and knees slightly bent. Extend your left arm ninety degrees from the body with your palm facing upward.

With your right hand slightly cupped, begin to pat the top of your left shoulder, and then pat down your arm toward your palm for ten counts.

Turn your palm over and pat up the other side of the arm for ten counts. Repeat on your right arm.

With both hands, pat your chest for 50 counts.

Move your hands down and pat your lower abdomen for 50 counts.

Bring your hands to your lower back and pat for 50 counts.

Then with one hand on each leg, pat down the back of your legs for ten counts, then up the front of the legs, down the sides of the legs, and up the inside of the legs for ten counts each.

Return to your lower abdomen, patting briskly for 50 counts.

I start my yoga session by starting a tapping exercise focusing on the Dahnjoong—the meridian point found in the middle of the slight indentation in the center of the chest. This point is close to the middle Dahn-jon—the chakra located behind the heart. It's highly sensitive to everyday anxiety and is, for that reason, effective at relieving stress and promoting emotional stability. By tapping the Dahnjoong at least 100 times and controlling your breath, you may experience tingling sensations in your chest and fingertips that are signs that stagnant energy is leaving your body.
