EFT to De-stress Anxious Moms

EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique  is a technique of tapping on specific meridian (acupoints) which manipulates the body’s energy flow (chi or prana) to unblock and balance the flow of energy. 

When do you use EFT? 

When you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed

When your kid is having the 4537459th tantrum of the morning and your coffee is cold, again. 

When your feeling sad and depressed

When your anxiety has you spinning and you need to get grounded again

When you cant even identify what you are feeling but you need to make it stop

Why EFT?

The stress response is activated by the thoughts we think and the beliefs we hold.

The amygdala is a component of our limbic system that is in charge of our stress response; the fight or flight, or tend or befriend. 

Acknowledging specific thoughts, emotions, and sensations in the body while going through the tapping sequence communicates to the body to release what is being focused on. Once cleared, it’s time to replace or replenish with thoughts and beliefs that we want to feel. This process is used to reprogram the brain to release the blockages (beliefs) and replace (reprogram) the brain to think more positively and working for our highest potential. 

Longterm use of EFT

If you envision yourself as a peaceful, calm mother who has the patience to do the hands on activities with your children, spending the quality time you imagine yourself to have with your children and spouse (let's not forget how this will help you in your relationship). Learning EFT will help you to be there for all your loved ones by learning how to be there for yourself first!
