Eleni Vardaki Leading ENSEC Conference Workshop

My workshop is contributing to the “SEL for Adult Education” conference topic. I will deliver a 90-minute workshop called “EFT Tapping for Adult SEL” via Zoom. In this introductory workshop to EFT Tapping, participants will get a hands-on experience and live demonstration of how EFT Tapping works.

This workshop is an introduction to EFT Tapping where adults can: 

• learn where the EFT Tapping points are located
• experience how EFT tapping could help relieve any stress-related tension, ache or pain  they may be holding in their body.
• practice creating their own tapping meditation Set-Up Statement so that they can add this tool to their emotional self-care practice ‘toolbox’.
• experience the social benefits of a group tapping exercise for stress relief.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping is an evidence-based stress management approach that accelerates Adult SEL Education. When we are stuck in a chronic state of stress, our cortisol levels go up. When our cortisol levels go up (and stay up) our immune system is compromised, causing us to be ill more often. Meanwhile, a headache can turn into a migraine. A normal brain can turn into the brain of a person who suffers from chronic pain. We feel pain more intensely when our cortisol levels are high.

When our body is holding onto stress tension, our social skills are compromised and our personal/professional relationships can suffer. Practicing EFT Tapping can help us transform stress-related tension, aches, or pains into increasing body awareness, emotional awareness, and social awareness.
