“It is much easier for people to believe that physical symptoms or diseases are a direct result of purely physical causes, it makes sense to them and is often quite linear. The idea that how we think, how we feel and how we express ourselves has a direct bearing on our health, is an idea that many are beginning to come to accept more fully.”

We tapped on each of these concerns — first the frustration and disappointment about having broken the ankle, then the frustration about not being sure about whether she could travel. We then worked on the frustration and resentment she had toward her doctor. She was also was experiencing compensatory muscle tension in her right hip, thigh, and glutes, and it was often painful. So we tapped on that, and “talked” to those muscles.

“My horse spooked, I was off balance, and I came out of the saddle. I flew through the air and landed hard on my side, knocking the breath out of myself. I made a couple of convulsive gasps, and then I instinctively did what I’ve programmed myself to do in any crisis—I started tapping.”

“Inspired by Gestalt Therapy and an article written by Ann Ross many years ago about our Inner Committee, I began a different approach: no affirmation, just conversation, choosing one ‘voice”’(point of view), letting it express itself freely, then switching to another while continuously tapping…”

“I believe that EFT should be available in every service that deals with crises and emergencies worldwide, and the more we share our experiences with others the more likely we are to inspire these agencies to explore the potential value that EFT may bring in such challenging situations.”

“For me, EFT is a wonderful psychotherapeutic and personal development tool …however we must not forget the potential value of this approach as an ‘emergency first aid’ in a wide range of situations. Many of my students and colleagues report numerous cases of how they have used EFT in a crisis…”

“What has been your truth about eating and drinking during the National Eating Season? If you can get in touch with why you have been overeating, and clear it with tapping, you can go through this winter (not to mention the rest of your life) without gaining weight.”

“Sometimes the seeds planted don’t seem to sprout right away. But when you eventually learn that they have, the results can be amazing.”

“While the others were still putting, I faced him and simply told him to think about what happened and copy me. We began at the eyebrow point and simply said “this pain”. We followed down the face using the basic recipe. When we got to the collarbone point, he had a strange look on his face. I translated that look as “where are we going with this tapping?” But he then said that the pain was almost gone.”

“I guess the moral of the story is really to try EFT on everything and then to trust the process. It may help someone, even if it didn’t seem as though it had at the time.”
