Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)

Using EFT for anything.

EFT can be used on a variety of physical and emotional ailments including:

Gary Craig, the designer of EFT always says "Try it on anything".

EFT blends perfectly with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy because it helps bring up the issues faster and creates more (and deeper) Cognitive Shifts behind the scenes. EFT works like hypnotherapy but adds extra power to the process because it integrates the body's subtle energies. EFT works like talk therapy with the advantage that it allows us to get to the issues faster and resolve them more thoroughly. Finally, EFT works better than drugs, because it addresses the root cause of ailments, diseases and disorders.

Please note: EFT for more severe ailments/diseases may not be a quick fix. The techniques need to be applied several times over a period of time, depending on the severity. Also, if you are not familiar enough with EFT and you have a severe ailment/disease, you should consider getting help form a EFT professional.

EFT IN A NUTSHELL

The following is 'The Basic Recipe'. Memorize it well. Aim it at any emotional or physical problem by customizing it with an appropriate Setup affirmation and Reminder Phrase. Be specific! Where necessary, be persistent until all aspects of the problem have vanished. Try it on everything!!

The discovery Statement:
"The cause of all physical symptoms and negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system.”

THE BASIC RECIPE
If it is feasible, rate the degree this symptom presently interferes with your ability to function normally on a scale from  0 to 10, with zero being no effect and 10 the greatest effect imaginable.  

1. The Setup ...

Repeat this affirmation 3 times: "Even though I (still) have this ....(FILL IN YOUR PROBLEM/AILMENT), I deeply and completely accept myself”, while continuously rubbing the Sore Spot or tapping the Karate Chop point (see graphic below).(the sore spot is directly below center of collarbone between 3^rd and 4^th rib). The sore spot is usually more effective than the Karate Chop point.

2. The Sequence ...

Tap about 7 times with at least 2 or 3 fingertips, but preferably with all fingertips, on each of the following energy points while repeating a Reminder Phrase at each point. (insert "remaining" when repeating the sequence and the problem has gotten better). The Reminder Phrase should be the specific problem, e.g. "migraine/headache in the back of my head ", not just "headache".

EB,  SE,  UE,  UN,  Ch,  CB,  UA,  Th.  IF,  MF,  BF,  KC (see graphic below)

The abbreviations for these points are summarized below in the same order listed above. It is also the order in which they should be tapped:  
EB = Beginning of the Eye Brow;
SE = Side of the Eye;
UE = Under the Eye;
UN = Under the Nose;
Ch = just above chin;
CB = Beginning of the Collar Bone;
UA = Under the Arm;
Th = Thumb nail;
IF = Index Finger nail;
MF = Middle Finger nail;
BF =Baby Finger nail;
KC = Karate Chop (the karate chop point is between the little finger and wrist on the side of the hand)

3. The 9 Gamut Procedure ...
Continuously tap on the Gamut point (point on the back of the hand, between and just below knuckles of the 4^th and 5^th finger; see graphic below) while performing each of these 9 actions:

(1)   Eyes closed
(2)   Eyes open
(3)   Eyes hard down right
(4)   Eyes hard down left
(5)   Roll eyes in circle
(6)   Roll eyes in other direction
(7)   Hum 2 seconds of a song
(8)   Count to 5
(9)   Hum 2 seconds of a song.

4. The Sequence (again) ...
Tap about 7 times on each of the following energy points while repeating a Reminder Phrase at each point. EB,  SE,  UE, UN,  Ch,  CB,  UA,  Th,  IF,` MF,  BF,  KC

Note: In subsequent rounds “The Setup” affirmation and the “Reminder Phrase” are adjusted to reflect that you are addressing the remaining aspects of the problem.  

When and how often should you do EFT?

Do EFT about ten times per day

1. As soon as you wake up
2. Before every meal
3. Every time you go to the bathroom
4. When you go to bed (This seems to be the most effective!)
