And I love it!Put your hands on your heart and take a deep breath in!Research shows that EFT:* Lowers cortisol (your main stress hormone)* Helps create new neural pathways, aka, new thought patterns* Activates the parasympathetic nervous system (your rest & restore mode)* Leads to lasting shifts in beliefs and behaviourIn other words:You can think differently, feel differently, and respond differently, not just once, but for good.And yes, it’s evidence-based.There are now over 100 peer-reviewed studies supporting EFT’s effectiveness in reducing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and improving performance, focus, and overall well-being.One of the leading researchers in this field is Dr. Peta Stapleton, known for her work on the science behind EFT. Her studies show measurable changes in cortisol levels, brain activity, and emotional regulation after tapping.→ View her publication in Frontiers in Psychologyhttps://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1195286/full?lid=16z38ysw0550→ Visit Dr. Peta Stapleton’s website https://www.petastapleton.com/Have a nice day,Evelien Rainbow Black Academy - Tap into happiness! ♥www.rainbowblackacademy.com This is a public episode.
