EFT: 10 Steps to Freedom
1. Choose and "tune in" to an issue that when you really think about it, it creates ________________________. It could be...
a specific event (lost a game, made an error, etc.) a feeling that you already have right now a belief you hold about yourself or a thought you repeatedly think 2. Identify the _________________________
What emotion do you feel when you vividly recall this event? Try to pick just one emotion, the one that describes it best.
Where do you feel it in your body? Describe the feeling a bit more ... What does it feel like? How big is it? What shape is it?
3. Rate its _________________________ RIGHT NOW (not how you felt at the time it happened)
As you sit there right now, how strong is the feeling you identified? Rate the intensity from 0 to 10, with ten being high Write that number down
4. Set Up Phrase -- tap continuously on Karate Chop point while saying the following sentence 3 times:
" Even though I have this ____________, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway. [Fill in the __________ with your feeling or a brief description of what happened, such as "I struck out with the bases loaded"]
5. Tap ________________or more times on each spot below as you say: "This ________________." [Again, fill in the __________ with your feeling or a brief description of what happened, such as "I struck out with the bases loaded"]
Tapping Points:
1. ____________________________
2. Side of your eyes
3. Below your eyes
4. Below your nose
5. Below your lips
6. Below your collar bone
7. Below your arm pits
8. Below your pecs
9. Clap your wrists
10. __________________________
6. Breathe
In through your nose... Into your belly... Then fill your chest... Hold for _________________ Gently release through your mouth 7. "Tune back in" to your original event and/or feeling
 |
Replay the event just as you did before the tapping |
|
Notice the feeling that comes up now... |
|
Look in your body where you felt the emotion before |
|
When you feel "tuned in" to the event... |
|
Rate the _______________________________ level now, 0 to 10 |
|
Write that new number down |
8. If the new number (0-10) is lower but still more than 1, repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 repeating the statement “This remaining _________”
9. Repeat until you reach a rating of 0 or 1
10. Try it again on a different issue.
NOTES
In some instances you won't be able to reduce the intensity very far. This is normal, happens maybe 20% of the time.
One thing to try is to skip the talking during the tapping, and simply imagine yourself in the situation you chose as vividly as you can while you tap through the points.
Rest assured that EFT works.
More complex issues call for more complex variations of this routine. A skilled EFT coach is like a sports coach: he or she can help you get the most out of your self and take things to much higher levels.
(Do individuals and teams work harder and play better with or without a great coach?)
Also, note that the results can be very subtle. It's not like trumpets blair when you release an emotion, it just isn't there any more.
You've now learned the basic recipe" of EFT. A whole world of possibilities awaits for you now.
