A relatively new therapy, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique has been used successfully by thousands of people for Managing Panic Attacks. Acupuncture, hypnotherapy and aromatherapy are considered unconventional or alternative Cures For Panic Attacks.

The Emotional Freedom Technique is very similar to other meridian therapies such as Acupuncture. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique which has been practiced for centuries and works by positioning needles directly on the meridian system in the body to rebalance energy or chi flow.

The science behind Emotional Freedom Technique is comparable to acupuncture. By directly treating the energy system it can bring quick relief from negative feelings as well as physical ailments. EFT doesn’t use needles or any other tools for that matter, instead a sequence of tapping is done on the energy system using the fingertips.

It’s been long known that the mind and body are connected and that one affects the other. Stress can be felt emotionally and physically, and can be seen as a disturbance of energy flow in the body. As they build up, more stress hormones are released triggering Panic symptoms.

Practicing the tapping sequence brings about balance in the energy system, releasing built up stress hormones and adrenaline, which relieves symptoms of anxiety and stress. Unlike other meridian therapies, EFT uses a combination of positive statements throughout the tapping sequence. This is why EFT is so effective at healing the mind and body because the core problem is identified as well as treating its negative effects on the energy system.

EFT has been used all over the world successfully time and time again. It has been used for managing panic attacks, addictions, insomnia, trauma, depression, phobias, pain, weight loss and much, much more. Knowing a little about the meridian energy system is useful but it’s not essential since EFT is very easy to apply. You can find lots of free information out there on the Internet showing you tapping sequence in detail.

The tapping sequence is just half of the EFT practice the other half is about focusing and acknowledging the problem. Before starting the sequence it’s a good idea to write down the problem that you want to address. Using positive statements in EFT is very important for maximum results. There is nothing wrong with self-love and respect in fact it is healthy for positive self development.

EFT doesn’t require any tools but your fingertips and can be applied at anytime, making it convenient for managing panic attacks that occur out of the blue. When you experience the first signs of anxiety, apply the technique for quick relief. Affirmations are best used out aloud but merely thinking about them may also work. You may want to practice in a private place or massage the meridian points when in public, if you feel self conscious.

There are those who have experienced instant results with EFT where other methods have failed, but it’s keep on practicing EFT and not simply use it in times when you really need it. You have to remember that emotional issues can run deep, which means that EFT can sometimes take more than a few times to work. Don’t be afraid to use the technique for other physical and emotional problems. Through consistent practice the body’s natural energy system will continue to get better.
