Focusing on Dieting Can Keep Us Stuck
“The first step to stopping reliance on dieting for some is using EFT to clear the painful or difficult emotions that haven’t been addressed successfully in the past.”
“They’re Just Stupid Boys” – An Inner Child Healing Story
“Apparently our work together on the title alone had completely cleared the trauma. I realized that the title she had chosen was the crescendo of the event. That might not always be a good idea, but in this case, it worked wonders. Those nasty words, which had hurt her so much as a little child, had been completely neutralized and she could see the whole thing clearly and not take it personally anymore….”
Using EFT to Eliminate the Urge to Smoke
“Can you imagine what it would be like to deal with your anger or stress using EFT instead of using a cigarette? It would be freeing and release you from your addiction to cigarettes. So how do you do it?”
EFT Helps Heal the Need to Self-Medicate
“My experience tells me that usually the addiction is an attempt at a solution, and we need to hear and understand its message. In this article I would like to give you an idea of how to work with the problem, using EFT, to find the solution that will be hidden in it.”
Recovering from CSA (Childhood Sexual Abuse)
“Surprisingly his intensity went down pretty fast after tapping on the guilt. Somehow the guilt was holding that abuse in place and after the guilt was gone, the abuse too lost its significance. It was, as if a heavy load had been lifted off his shoulders…”
The Chocolates Became a Soothing Antidote
“What came out next, from tapping on her boss’s criticism was her mother’s criticism when she was a young girl and how she was not allowed to cry when something was bothering her…”
How to Tap:
From Feeling Bad to Feeling Better...
Adapted from The EFT Free Manual
Please Note: Before trying EFT, you agree to take full responsibility for your wellbeing, and for your exploration of these techniques.
1. Notice something specific that is bothering you. It might be a feeling in your body (tension headache, tight chest, heavy heart, etc.) or a specific thought or negative emotion in your head (angry about my friend, overwhelmed by work, my horrible boss). For the sake of this exercise, lets name your bothersome issue "this stress." Now rate the intensity on a scale of 0-10. How intense is this particular stress?
2. Do the EFT Setup. To perform the Setup, tap on the Karate Chop point (outside edge of hand, fig. 1) and repeat the following phrase three times:
Even though I have this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.
3. Tap through the Sequence (figs. 3 and 4, several times on each point) while repeating the words "this stress..."
4. Pause to notice the effects of the tapping. Give yourself a moment to think about what has been bothering you. How intense is what you have been calling "this stress?" Has the number changed? What number would you give the intensity now?
5. Repeat the tapping process again. The second time around, we often change the wording a little:
Even though I still have some of this stress, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway
6. Exhale the words "this stress..." as you tap on each point, tapping until your intensity subsides substantially and you feel better. Repeat the whole process if necessary, until the emotional intensity is as low as it will go.
Is the problem still bothering you in the same way? You may feel a lightness or a distance from the problem that you had not previously felt. Notice the changes you have been through, and congratulate yourself. You have just given yourself an experience of EFT.
