Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a collection of acupressure and  mental-emotional focus techniques that address the mind-body connection. By tapping lightly or touching specific points on the body’s energy pathways (called meridians) while focusing on an event or emotion, it is possible to clear reactions to past traumatic events, balance our perception of our past, relieve stress, and release negative emotions.?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /
