It is not guaranteed to cure all woes, BUT a simple technique called EFT™ tapping is one of my go-to tools for dissolving stress and pain in my body, including shoulder and neck tension that is creeping up and threatening to give me a headache.

If you haven’t tried it, I am going to share with you why you may want to suspend your disbelief long enough to read up on the technique and try EFT™ for headaches yourself.

How can you use EFT™ for headaches ?

“So you just tap where it hurts?” you ask.

No, I tap on very specific acupressure points following a sequence that takes the guesswork out of trying to match up what is going on by covering all your bases.

In a nutshell, tapping on certain points along the meridians helps you to release stress, negative thoughts and reset your nervous system.

It may sound like woo-woo nonsense but it is just one of those things you have to try before dismissing. Hang in here with me…

As a classic Type-A person, I have developed a big arsenal of stress-relief tactics that I think of like tools in my toolbox. These include:

  • breathing exercises
  • yoga
  • guided meditation
  • solo meditation
  • essential oils
  • heart-rate variability training
  • journaling or making lists
  • exercise
  • epsom salt baths
  • massage
  • and Emotional Freedom Technique™ (sometimes called “tapping”)

If you feel a little silly trying it, just duck into an empty conference room.

Being a regular users of all of these handy practices, I can tell you what is unique about EFT™ is its ability to break through a frustrating pattern very quickly. Let’s say I am experiencing intense pain in my neck and shoulder. I start worrying about the pain, wondering why it is happening, thinking about the workout I am going to have to skip because of it and worrying that I won’t be able to fall asleep. Do you think these thoughts are going to intensify the pain? You betcha.

In a situation like this, if I whip out the EFT™ tapping technique from my toolbox and use it simply to accept and let go of the pain, I will feel tension and stress melt away in just a few rounds of tapping. 

 

Why is tapping a trend you can’t afford to miss??

  1. It is free
  2. It is fast, a session can be as short as 2-3 min
  3. It is painless
  4. It is instant
  5. It is versatile and can be adapted to help with many different issues
