Using EFT To Pursue A Dream
This is the journey of a dancer. However, it applies to any “dreamer”, be it an artist, scientist, athlete, healer, or other…
How Violin Lessons Led To Profound Healing
“Sylvia surprised me by announcing that she had “fired” [her violin] teacher! She felt empowered and delighted that she had broken her own rule of “you have to take it, stick with it, don’t be a quitter.” She could reject those judgments and honor her feelings and needs…How beautiful to see her delightful child self coming through in her new freedom to play the violin for enjoyment, free of judgment, free of fear!”
Core Limiting Beliefs About Body Image That Keep Weight On
“…the vicious cycle of dieting (and then of course binging that MUST come next after food restriction, that is the rule with brain chemistry and our physiology) often begins I think from a negative self image… Finding where that negative self image took root and releasing the emotional charge however is the key.”
Clearing Distorted Automatic Thoughts with EFT
“Automatic thoughts indicate the core beliefs that we have. Addressing automatic thoughts with EFT will also gradually release the limiting core beliefs.”
How to Find Your Limiting Beliefs with Just One Word
“But what are we going to do if there isn’t a therapist or coach available? Are we doomed to wander ignorant of our own limiting beliefs because we can’t see them? Fortunately, there is a simple way to bring lots of limiting beliefs into consciousness using just one word. It’s a simple word, readily available and deeply familiar: ‘Because…’”
Metaphysical Thoughts for EFTers: “You Are The Body of Your Beliefs”
“I love helping people develop more nourishing beliefs about themselves and the world – beliefs that nurture and sustain – and feel good when we inhabit them. Nothing beats watching people awaken to themselves, their own thinking and the possibilities of exercising greater conscious control over their own lives.”
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.
