Learn EFT
The goal of EFT is to heal emotional problems.
The theory behind this technique is that old emotional wounds are stored in the body/mind as blocked energetic patterns. EFT is acupressure for the emotions. Stimulating specific energy points by gentle tapping or holding releases the block, allowing our body/mind system to process the troubling problem. As the energy is brought into balance, thoughts about upsetting circumstances change and negative emotions diminish. This process takes place on a bioelectromagnetic level throughout our being.
EFT is a self-healing approach based on the understanding that the body and mind are inextricably intertwined. Tune in to a problem while gently tapping eight energy points to balance the energy. This 5-step procedure allows healing to take place.
Five Easy Steps
Choose a problem.
-
Tune in and rate the intensity of your negative feeling from 0-10 with 10 being the most intense.
-
State this Affirmation three times while tapping the Karate Chop spot or rubbing the Tender spot (see the chart of Tapping Points below): "Even though I have this problem, I completely accept myself."
-
Tap the remaining energy points (eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, under lip, under collarbone, under arm) as you speak a reminder word or phrase such as: "this problem", "my anger/fear/guilt", or "releasing this problem."
-
Take a deep breath. Take stock. What is your rating now? Notice any new thoughts or memories and practice Step 4 on each one until it is neutralized.
-
Return to the original problem and repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you reach zero or the problem is resolved. Zero means that you no longer feel any negative charge.
