Have you heard of Emotional Freedom Technique – EFT? It’s often called ‘tapping’, and this simple introduction shares what it’s all about, and how to do EFT tapping.
It’s easy, doesn’t need equipment, and you can use it as an alternative treatment for physical pain, or emotional distress.
As a mixture of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and energy medicine, EFT might be just the thing to help you push past any mindset blocks you’re facing. It’s a form of psychological acupressure, which can create a balance in your energy system.
My guest today guides us through the world of EFT tapping, so you can test it out for yourself and start to feel the benefits.

Rachel Alexandria simplifies how to do EFT tapping
In this episode, you will learn:
- What EFT tapping is
- How it can help you, mind-body-spirit
- How EFT tapping works (Rachel leads us through a quick EFT exercise so you can try it out yourself)
- How EFT can help you dismantle your inner critic
- How you could use EFT to navigate a big change in your work or life
- How to incorporate EFT tapping into the wisdom of the Enneagram (this refers to nine different worldviews, or archetypes that resonates with the way people think, feel and act in the world.)
I need to be brave so I can share this conversation with you, as Rachel led me through a pretty vulnerable session. Girl scout honor, promise you won’t tell anyone…
In the EFT tapping session, Rachel helped me to uncover some blocks in my own life, and how to tap my way through them.
I hope this episode peels back another layer for you, to help bring you closer to understanding me. But more importantly, helping you understand yourself on a deeper level.
#DoTheThing!
My challenge for you this week:
Schedule a few minutes each day to learn how to do EFT tapping. Follow Rachel’s instructions, and run a week-long experiment to see if EFT can help you overcome a struggle in your life by ‘tapping it out’. Share it with me, privately or publicly, by snapping a photo of you doing the thing and tag @thesimplifiers on Instagram for added accountability and support!
