Acupuncture is Physical, Emotional Freedom Techniques is Emotional

I have given a video introduction to what is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) all about, hope all of you enjoy the explanation, the video and starting to know what is EFT all about.

As mentioned in the previous post, I have mentioned that EFT is actually an emotional version of Acupuncture, except needles aren’t necessary.

So what is Acupuncture all about and why is it so popular among the Chinese and part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine practice?

There is a deep understanding in Traditional Chinese Medicine studies that there is a form of Energy or ‘Qi’ that is constantly flowing freely in the body system. A note is that if you are a logical person and based everything on facts, this form of energy cannot be seen by naked eyes as per the understanding of Quantum Physics that everything is made up of particles of energy.

So if you are a healthy person, this means that this form of Energy is free to move inside the body with absolutely no obstruction. But if you start to fall sick, this form of energy will be obstructed in some parts of your body and that’s where Acupuncture will come in well.

Acupuncture uses special forms of needles to treat the affected areas and the needles are usually inserted into the Meridian Points as seen below:

Each Meridian Points then define a certain part of the body. After a certain session of Acupuncture Needling, the obstructed area will be unblocked and energy is free to move around freely again!

Back to our topic of Emotional Freedom Techniques, now you know that EFT is rather similar to Acupuncture in removing the blockage of energy along the Meridian Points in your body thus releasing tensions that’s affecting you. The only difference is that Acupuncture is physical with needles and EFT is emotional with tapping.

Hope this help to give better understanding to what is Emotional Freedom Techniques all about.
