What is “Anxiety Relief”?

Is “Anxiety Relief” a breathwork session?

No, “Anxiety Relief” is based on the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
Commonly known as Tapping.

The roots of EFT come from the ancient wisdom of acupuncture. Only instead of using needles, here you perform a light tapping on specific points of the body -
primarily on the head and the face.

Why is this important?

When we experience stressful, frightening or distressing events that are
too difficult to cope with or feel out of control…

Our bodies can remember them even long after they are gone.
They can continue to live within the memory of our cells.

And every time we encounter something even slightly similar to that painful experience, our bodies begin to warn us of the impending danger. It begins to signal that this situation isn’t safe enough for us to be in.

Increased heart rate, quick and shallow breathing, jittery hands and legs, inability to focus, fear of impending danger, digestive problems, trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, racing thoughts…
All of these can be signs that our body has detected danger.

And this danger doesn’t even have to be real. Our body doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined… So the cause of our distress could easily be coming from our thoughts.

EFT helps the body reevaluate the situation and turn off that inner alarm, if necessary.

Because an upcoming deadline at work is not the same as a lion chasing you… But the worry and fear that you are experiencing just thinking about work, makes the body think that it is.

EFT helps you come back to the feeling of “even though things are a little bit challenging right now, I can actually do this and I’m going to be alright”.

It releases all the suppressed tension in a safe and painless manner.
And it helps us feel more in control of ourself and our life again.

It feels like the most relieving exhale.
And it brings inner peace.
