“In an economic climate where most people are vibrating impatience and the energy of being rushed, your vibration of even-tempered care will stand out in almost any field.”
It was time. It seemed as if all the signs were pointing to opening up a full-time EFT practice. I was nervous and excited all at once. I opened. Clients began to come. And then the global crash happened…
“When we begin to appreciate the small things we have, we are clearing a pathway for energy to flow… All problems can be turned into blessings if we choose to learn from them, and use EFT to shift our energy and perspective.”
“In our experience, the ‘flash in the pan’ success that some see with EFT is a wonderful starting point. However, huge sustained success for most EFTers is best fostered by taking a step-by-step approach.”
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.
