Topic: Energy Matters - Using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) for well-being

A presentation by Tamar Genossar – an accredited Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner.

We all hold tension in our bodies as trapped energy due to stressful experiences. Learn how to release this trapped energy using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).

Also known as tapping, EFT is a mind-body technique that is highly effective in promoting calm and relaxation, releasing stress and revealing the root causes of issues. It can also be used as a tool that anyone can utilize whenever needed.

The presentation combines a lecture and workshop, with the aim of introducing the technique and getting the audience to experience it.
