Spiritual Emotional Freedom Technique (SEFT) therapy is a type of therapy that is quite easy to do. This therapy aims to stabilize emotions, reduce anxiety, and prevent high blood pressure. This therapy can be done without drugs, and does not require complicated diagnostic procedures. This therapy is carried out by light tapping (tapping) on 18 key points along the 12 energies of the body. Research shows that the healing effect can be felt instantly (one Minute Wonder). In addition, this therapy can also be used to increase calm and equanimity.
It is hoped that the implementation of this activity in Parang Village can increase public knowledge regarding targets related to hypertension, as well as being able to carry out SEFT therapy to stabilize emotions and prevent hypertension.
