2. EFT TAPPING – LOVING YOUR INNER CHILD

Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), is based on a combination of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology.

So basically, you use your fingertips to tap specific meridian points (or energy hot spots) on your body while speaking life-changing affirmations to help balance your body’s energy.

The first time I tried tapping for my wounder inner child, I cried out years worth of blocked emotions.
