EFT Tapping Endorsements

In recent years, EFT tapping endorsements have begun popping up everywhere across the globe, and in the media. More significantly amongst celebrities, royalty, prominent medical specialists and highly respected wellness practitioners. And, high level athletes and sports professionals too. All of whom have benefitted from EFT tapping in one way or another.

As a therapist who has practised EFT tapping since 2007, I’m not surprised to see the ever-increasing popularity EFT tapping has gained. After all, the rapid relief, and remarkable results speak for themselves. And, since EFT tapping continues to offer wonderful benefits, I can only see this therapy modality gaining greater popularity in future. More especially as a practical, easy-to-use self help tool.

Over the years, I have worked with some South African celebrities, from radio, TV and sports personalities, models and high profile individuals, I respect their wish to remain anomyous. As such, I completely understand why the world’s rich and famous also wish to protect their identities and private lives. So finding these EFT tapping endorsements online was as much challenging, as it was a bit of a scoop too …

I would like to clarify an important point – while some endorsements shared below are non-verbal, the public display and use of EFT tapping by some celebs speaks volumes. For others, their stories are quite fascinating, and insightful. I’m sure you’ll enjoy hearing what they had to say, and how they have benefitted from EFT tapping.

So let’s dive into these famous endorsements of celebs and well-known personalities.

More notably, Queen Camilla suffered aerophobia, a fear of flying for a long time. The demands placed upon her as a senior member of the British Royal family meant she had to fly more often to attend engagements with her husband, King Charles. Her Royal Highness has spoken publically, and her biography also documents her use of EFT tapping as an intervention used to conquer her fears of flying. (Source Express)

Renowned pop singer Boy George is a celebrity who definitely makes regular use of EFT tapping. Aside from being spotted on the Jungle sitting quietly and tapping – presumably to stay centered, he also uses EFT tapping whilst saying his morning affirmations (according to his Instagram page).

Personally, I love this lovely insight, and a glimpse into Boy George‘s inner world … a quote from an Instagram reel he shared, revealing his take on EFT tapping for self help and self care. Here’s what he said, “EFT is called emotional freedom tapping, and its just a way of overriding that kind of movie thats running in your head about you – you know, the negative movie in your subconscious. Maybe you don’t have a negative movie. But a lot of people have this movie about who they are, and its all twisted and out of shape. Its just good to kinda remind yourself that you are actually quite amazing. And, that life happens through you, and not to you. Take care of your inner world.”  Isn’t that beautiful?

Another EFT tapping advocate is TV personality, actor and singer Michael Ball. He said on a BBC TV show that tapping helps him to control nerves and distracts his brain before stepping onto stage to perform. While demonstrating how he uses tapping for his performance anxiety, he gleefully said, “it’s fascinating!”  Ball also mentioned that he first saw this tapping technique, and learnt about it from another singer, the late Stephen Gately who was from the pop group, Boyzone.

Singer, Nick Heyword of Haircut 100 when interviewed by Clare Balding on BBC2 radio shared his spiritual awakening. And, how he uses EFT tapping to manage his stress.

This is where I really see the future of EFT tapping expanding … literally exploding globally!

Since I am English speaking, I haven’t touched on the global reach of EFT tapping. To the best of my knowledge, EFT tapping is now taught in every major language across the globe.

Just imagine a future where every household understands the applications of EFT tapping. Imagine a society where everyone can receive any one of the myriad benefits EFT tapping offers. Is this utopian existence possible? I really do believe it is …

Quite honestly, I don’t think Gary Craig, the founder of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) ever imagined how far his beloved ‘tapping’ technique would reach. Based on its current trajectory since the early 90’s, onwards and upwards is the only way forwards. Tap .. tap … tap … let’s go!
