Is it possible to deactivate stress and anxiety by tapping the stressors away? Can we free ourselves of complex emotions through pressure points in the body?

The answer is YES!

As we continue discovering different modalities that aid in our healing and reduce stress and negative emotions, we turn our attention to Emotional Freedom Tapping and the Heart-Brain Coherence techniques.

If you have not heard of either, EFT combines the principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. The Heart-Brain Coherence technique uses our breath and brain to slow down the nervous system by bringing your heart and breath rhythm into coherence. Both are simple techniques with long-lasting physical, mental, emotional, and even spiritual benefits.

This week explore these tools with Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Speaker, and Transformational Life Coach Catherine Ewing.

We start with her own life story, and then she walks us through the foundation of her highly viewed TedX Talk, where she teaches Emotional Freedom Tapping and the Heart-Brain Coherence technique. This is an up-close masterclass on relieving stress and anxiety with the tools you already have—your body, breath, and mind.

A few takeaways that stood out during our conversation were: each has a purpose, deep inner power, and grounded strength waiting for us to meet it. While we often have to experience hard life lessons, or teachers, as Catherine and I both call them, ultimately, with the right tools, such as EFT and the Heart-Brain coherence, we have the power to use those lessons as the foundation for our most heartfelt growth.
