Managing Panic Attacks Using Alternative Methods

Managing panic attacks using Emotional Freedom Technique is both a natural and safe way to overcome anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia and social anxiety. Other alternative cures for panic attacks include, hypnotherapy, reflexology and NLP.

Much like acupuncture, Emotional Freedom Technique uses the same principals. 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.

Similarly, EFT is able to stimulate flow of chi by accessing major meridian points on the body. Relief from emotional distress and physical ailments can be very quick since the meridian system is worked on directly. 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. Experiencing emotional distress and stress can be interpreted as a disruption in the body’s natural energy flow. Harmful build up of chemicals such as adrenaline and stress hormones then lead onto anxiety and panic symptoms.

When you tap a sequence of meridian points on your body it rebalances energy flow, the body and mind calms down, adrenaline levels reduce and negative emotions subside. Unlike other meridian therapies, EFT uses a combination of positive statements throughout the tapping sequence. Emotional pain can manifest as physical symptoms, which is why EFT is so effective since it treats both the cause of the problem as well as it’s symptoms.  

More and more people are using EFT and reaping the benefits of this simple and natural technique. It has been used for managing panic attacks, addictions, insomnia, trauma, depression, phobias, pain, weight loss and much, much more. Applying EFT is very easy and only takes a few minutes to learn, since you can ignore the science behind it and just get stuck in. There are lots of resources online to find out how to do it step by step.

The tapping sequence is just half of the EFT practice the other half is about focusing and acknowledging the problem. Write down the physical or emotional issue you want to fix so that you begin the technique with a clear outome. It is important to use self accepting and positive language when using affirmations. There is nothing wrong with self-love and respect in fact it is healthy for positive self development.

Managing panic attacks with EFT is very convenient and easy since it can be practiced at any moment. The technique should also be applied as soon as you experience moments of stress, anxiety, negative thoughts or emotions to counteract them. 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.

EFT doesn’t promise 100% success rate, but it’s important to apply it regularly to see significant results. Don’t simply do it a few times and give up. Once you see the benefits, you can also apply it to other areas of your life. Your energy system will improve in time by practicing it routinely.
