EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), also known as tapping, works by stimulating acupressure points while acknowledging what you're feeling, helping your nervous system shift out of stress and back into safety. It's one of my favorite psycho-somatic tools for those moments when emotions feel bigger than you can hold. If you’re interested to know more about the origin + learn the tapping points, I made a separate track here on Insight Timer "EFT Introduction & Tapping Points".

And knowing that you are held, You're safe. And all is well, At least in this moment. Feel free to stay here for as long as you wish or whenever you're ready, Blink your eyes open. Welcome back.
