Mindfulness tapping, or emotional freedom technique (EFT), is a type of mindfulness meditation that uses your fingertips to tap on certain points on your head and chest while you focus on your breath and the present moment. The emotional freedom technique has been shown to be an effective way to reduce stress and anxiety, emotionally and psychologically heal, as well as help improve sleep quality.
