Natural Bio-Destressing is a simple to learn and powerful technique that restores balance to the nervous system to a state of “Rest and Relax”. Natural Bio-Destressing is a combination of meridian tapping techniques that were originally derived by Roger Callahan with Thought Field Therapy (TFT), and then further refined and condensed by Gary Craig with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). All these techniques stimulate the meridian energy systems that are connected with Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. By lightly tapping on the specific points with two finger-tips you can gain the benefits of relieving the neuro-chemical stress response that is activated when the body is in fight/flight/freeze.
The nervous system response to danger is essential to our survival, however remaining in an elevated nervous system response to danger that has passed, can seriously damage the body at the physical, mental and emotional levels. The body is always seeking to be in a state of homeostasis or balance and we often sub-consciously touch the areas where the tapping points are located to self-soothe. How often have you been frustrated or overwhelmed and you find yourself rubbing the side of your face by the edge of your eyes? Not surprisingly, the edge of the eye is one of the tapping points that is used in this technique.
Natural Bio-Destressing combines the main tapping points from EFT and the extended process for balancing trauma from TFT. The link below features the diagram of all the tapping points and the order of the tapping.
