In times, where emotional overwhelm, stress, and unresolved trauma are common, tools that support deep inner healing are not just helpful—they are essential. Among the most accessible and powerful of these tools is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), also known as tapping.
At Golden Age Isvara, we are dedicated to reviving practices that bridge ancient wisdom with modern healing. EFT is one such practice—simple, non-invasive, and profoundly transformative. This blog explores how tapping works, why it’s effective, and how you can begin using it to free yourself from emotional baggage.
EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a gentle form of psychological acupressure that involves tapping on specific points on the body while voicing emotions, memories, or beliefs. The technique is designed to release emotional blockages and restore balance to your energy system.
Why does this matter? Because our unprocessed emotions do not disappear—they settle into the body, subtly shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and even our health. EFT offers a practical path to release these blockages, helping us feel lighter, calmer, and more in tune with ourselves.
Our emotions are not just in our heads—they live in our bodies too. Emotional blocks often originate from past experiences, internalised beliefs, or suppressed feelings. Over time, these can manifest as anxiety, tension, chronic stress, or even physical illness.
EFT works by addressing the energetic roots of these patterns. Drawing from ancient meridian-based systems (like acupuncture), EFT helps regulate the nervous system and calm the body’s stress response. When emotional energy is released, the body begins to shift naturally toward healing and clarity.
EFT combines focused awareness with light tapping on specific acupressure points—typically on the face, chest, and hands. As you tap, you verbalize a setup statement that acknowledges the emotion or issue, followed by a series of affirming phrases.
The technique was developed in the 1990s by Gary Craig, who simplified earlier energy psychology practices. It’s now used worldwide by therapists, coaches, and individuals seeking emotional release and self-regulation.
The idea is simple: By tapping and speaking simultaneously, you disrupt the emotional charge behind limiting beliefs and trauma responses, effectively rewiring your emotional response patterns.
Here’s a basic outline of how EFT is practised:
➤ Identify the Issue: Choose one emotion, memory, or belief you want to work on.
➤ Rate the Intensity: On a scale of 0 to 10, rate how strongly you feel it.
➤ Create a Setup Statement: Example: “Even though I feel anxious about this situation, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
➤ Tap on Meridian Points: While repeating the issue or feeling, tap gently on specific points: eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, under the arm, and top of the head.
➤ Re-rate the Intensity: After a round or two, re-rate your emotion. Most people experience a noticeable shift, even if subtle.
EFT is more than stress relief—it can create lasting change. Some of the key benefits include:
➤ Emotional release from anger, fear, grief, shame, and more
➤ Improved clarity and mental calmness
➤ Physical relief from chronic pain and tension
➤ Freedom from old patterns and self-sabotaging beliefs
➤ Enhanced self-acceptance and resilience
The more consistently you practice, the more your emotional responses begin to shift in daily life.
EFT can be used by anyone, whether you’re navigating daily stress, healing past trauma, or simply seeking to understand yourself better.
Common areas where EFT is especially effective:
➤ Anxiety and panic attacks
➤ Low self-esteem or self-worth
➤ Fears and phobias
➤ Grief and heartbreak
➤ Chronic pain or tension
➤ Unprocessed trauma or emotional wounds
At Golden Age Isvara, many of our clients have shared how EFT became a turning point, unlocking years of emotional weight in just a few consistent sessions.
If you are new to EFT, start slow. Choose simple, manageable emotions. Find a quiet space. Be kind to yourself.
Beginner Tips:
➤ Keep your setup statements honest and neutral.
➤ Do not rush—allow emotions to surface and pass.
➤ Journal your experiences to track your emotional shifts.
➤ For deeper emotional wounds, work with a trained EFT practitioner.
