It rewires the brain and helps make positive decisions and better actions. EFT works by tapping on acupuncture meridian points to send the correct signals, build and improve neural pathways to make you feel better. A calming signal is sent to the brain and helps overcome stress, anxiety, fears, phobias, physical pain and boosts your immune stystem support.
