  SPEAKER_00: So what is EFT?

  SPEAKER_00: It's actually known as emotional freedom technique.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: It combines principles of modern psychology and ancient Chinese acupressure.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: So during a session, the point is to focus on what's causing you the stress, the pain, or the discomfort while tapping specific sets of you know, acupressure points on the body.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: The EFT points correspond to traditional Chinese medicine.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: And when we tap on those points, it sends calming signals to the nervous system and the brain, letting it know that it's safe to relax, feel the feelings, and release whatever is driving the stress in the body.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: So it allows you to release, to find more balance, to find more peace in the body, and help ease you forward from a nervous system standpoint.
