Coaching Healthy Lifestyle

Emotional Freedom Techniques (or EFT for short), often called “Tapping,” is a gentle, hands-on method that helps ease emotional and psychological stress. It involves lightly tapping on specific points on the body—called meridian points—while tuning into whatever you’re feeling in the moment.

It’s simple, effective, and something just about anyone can try. While tapping has helped countless people shift everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional patterns, there are a few common misunderstandings that can trip people up, especially when it comes to tuning into their emotions.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) tapping is a therapeutic approach that has gained widespread recognition for its effectiveness in addressing emotional, psychological, and physical issues.

The history of EFT tapping is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine’s use of energy meridians and acupuncture. This millennia of tradition was the starting point for what we today know at clinical eft. Here I explore the evolution of EFT tapping through the pivotal work of Dr. George Goodheart, Dr. John Diamond, Dr. Roger Callahan, Gary Craig, and Dawson Church, each of whom left an indelible mark on the field.

The Dark Night of the Soul is a profound spiritual journey that takes individuals through a series of challenging phases, ultimately leading to spiritual growth and transformation.

This concept, rooted in the writings of mystics like St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, describes a period of intense inner turmoil, doubt, and despair that often precedes a deepening of one’s connection with the divine.

Ayurveda, often referred to as the “science of life,” is an ancient system of medicine that originated in India over 5,000 years ago. It offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of balance in various aspects of life. At the core of Ayurveda lies your dosha combination, or the fundamental elements that make up our physical and mental constitution.

The Three Doshas

According to Ayurveda, everything in the universe is composed of five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether (space). These elements combine in different ways to create three primary doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each dosha is associated with specific qualities, functions, and characteristics, and everyone has a unique combination of these doshas within them, known as their prakriti.

Many of us have a habit of either being “No” champions or “Yes” enthusiasts when it comes to protecting ourselves. It’s like we’ve got boundary superpowers! But here’s the catch – both of these extremes of being too closed or too open might be unhealthy.

People who say “No” as a knee-jerk reaction don’t stop to consider the possibilities. As soon as they feel the pressure to do something they react by closing it down. Behind this is a lack of trust in the other person.

Conversely, people who overwhelmingly say “Yes” often do so to appease the other person without consideration of their own wants and needs. Behind this is an unwarranted trust in others and a belief that it is not safe to push back.
