Simple And Effective Way In Managing Panic Attacks And Emotional Problems

A relatively new therapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique has been used successfully by thousands of people for managing panic attacks. People who'd rather not take anti-anxiety medication, might turn to natural cures for panic attacks such as EFT, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, homeopathy and acupuncture.

The Emotional Freedom Technique is very similar to other meridian therapies such as Acupuncture. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique which has been practiced for centuries and works by positioning needles directly on the meridian system in the body to rebalance energy or chi flow.

EFT works in the same way by balancing your energy flow and disruptions. By directly treating the energy system it can bring quick relief from negative feelings as well as physical ailments. Unlike Acupuncture, EFT uses the fingertips to stimulate the meridian points by tapping on them.

The mind and body is one energy system, one affects the other directly, like a stressful day which turns into a headache or backache, your mind affects the body and vice versa. Experiencing emotional distress and stress can be interpreted as a disruption in the body's natural energy flow. As they build up, more stress hormones are released triggering panic symptoms.

Practicing the tapping sequence brings about balance in the energy system, releasing built up stress hormones and adrenaline, which relieves symptoms of anxiety and stress. Unlike other meridian therapies, EFT uses a combination of positive statements throughout the tapping sequence. Emotional pain can manifest as physical symptoms, which is why EFT is so effective since it treats both the cause of the problem as well as it's symptoms.

Although EFT is a fairly new therapy, it's use and success has spread across the globe. It's use stretches beyond managing panic attacks. People have used EFT for sleep problems, depression, weight problems and even addictions. Applying EFT is very easy and only takes a few minutes to learn, since you can ignore the science behind it and just get stuck in. Lots of information is out there teaching you exactly how to use the technique.

The tapping sequence is just half of the EFT practice the other half is about focusing and acknowledging the problem. Make a mental note of the problem you want to solve or put it down on paper before you start the tapping. It is important to use self accepting and positive language when using affirmations. For a person to grown and love others they must first learn to love themselves.

EFT doesn't require any tools but your fingertips and can be applied at anytime, making it convenient for managing panic attacks that occur out of the blue. When you experience the first signs of anxiety, apply the technique for quick relief. Feel free to adapt the affirmations to your needs. If you feel embarrassed tapping in public, try massaging the meridian points with your finger tips or doing it in private.

There are those who have experienced instant results with EFT where other methods have failed, but it's keep on practicing EFT and not simply use it in times when you really need it. You have to remember that emotional issues can run deep, which means that EFT can sometimes take more than a few times to work. Don't be afraid to use the technique for other physical and emotional problems. Regular practice will gradually improve the energy flow in the body.
