Meridian tapping techniques are a newly-systematized method of applying the principles of acupressure to creating
greater well-being. Following a prescribed routine of gently tapping certain acupressure points, the person states
or concentrates on a problem or symptom that needs resolution, coupling it with a self-accepting statement. What does
this mean, in terms of results? That thousands of people who practice this technique report: - Relaxation
- Relief
from stressful feelings
- Greater sense of calm
- Effective anger management
- Improved thinking and problem-solving
- Better
sleep
- Peak performance in work and sports
- Relief from the energy patterns of past traumatic incidents or memories
- Improved
ability to access sports skills
When people use this method frequently they often report a
shift in their feeling state from feelings of mental tension, anger, fear, or other negative emotions to calm, focus and happiness. In
addition, they often report experiencing a reduction in their physical tension and their perception of pain related to
stress and tension. The techniques help people to balance their mind and body, evoke the Relaxation Response and enhance well-being. The best known meridian tapping technique is EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique. I use the main eight points of the EFT technique for most sessions, with other acupressure points and methods added
in when needed. The main points to tap are on the face, upper body, and hands or wrists. Consequently, the technique
is quick to perform and can easily be used in almost any situation. Using it in session with me, you will learn
how to do the technique; how to craft your own set-up statements to get quicker results; and how to apply the technique in
different ways and different settings. We can work together to facilitate quicker change, and/or you can practice the
method on your own. Acupressure has been used for centuries in Asian health practices, and Western studies are exploring its efficacy for a variety of uses. EFT/Meridian tapping techniques based on acupressure points
are also being studied, with encouraging results including: - Positive changes in the nervous, endocrine and immune systems suggesting
a reduction in stress and increase in healthy bodily functions
- Reducing hyper-arousal that occurs in stress
- Reducing
symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as measured by standardized tests (studied in randomized controlled trials with
veterans)
- Aligning brain waves

and play. Call or email me today to book a session. I also specialize in helping equestrians. Please visit www.ridewithoutfear.com for more information.

About Ange Finn I am
an AAMET Level 2 Certified EFT Practitioner. I became interested in EFT tapping after discovering it as a mental preparation
technique for sport. Learning about it from a prominent equestrian coach and rider led me to explore the original EFT
technique pioneered by Gary Craig. After having
several sessions with a practitioner, I learned first hand the power of tapping to facilitate fast and long-lasting change.
Knowing I wanted to be able to share this powerful technique
with others, I trained in it and began applying it and teaching it both in groups and with individuals. Personal
growth is not solely the province of experts; the key is within each of us. Teaching the technique and
working in sessions with people, I see and celebrate success over and over again in helping them make progress with their
own growth and wellbeing. I have written several articles on my use of EFT with others
and with my own life; please visit the Success Stories page for links. I have studied and used mindfulness techniques for personal growth for thirty-five
years. I continue to work with my own EFT coach and mentor to help me become my best self. I look forward to helping you do the same.
