Essential EFT Tapping Tips 

1. Drink a full glass of water before
   tapping to stimulate and prepare
   your body's electrical system
2. You can tap down either side of
   your body with the first 2 fingers of either
   or both hands, or try crossing over
3. Don't tap too hard. Use the same amount
   of pressure you would as if you were
   drumming your fingers on a table.
4. Take a slow deep breath after you
   complete a round of tapping to help
   move the energy through your body
5. Yawning during tapping is a sign that
   you are releasing energy, so let
   out the yawns and keep going
6. When you tap along with a group of others
   (either live or via recording), you will
   experience "borrowing benefits" whether or
   not you are the "primary tapper".
   So always tap along.
7. The key to tapping is to "tune in" and always
   ask yourself "How does saying this or thinking this
   make me feel?" and that will be your guide.

Identifying The Downside 

The key to unlocking your blocks

I give credit for this question to Master EFT Practitioner, Dr. Carol Look. She has been practicing EFT with clients for over 10 years and has found this to be THE most useful question to ask when trying to reach core issues with your EFT tapping.

Let's take an example of someone who wants to quit smoking. Intellectually of course they want to stop - but something is keeping them from successfully quitting.

The same is also true for:
losing weight,
procrastinating on a task,
achieving success in your business,
healing yourself from illness,
improving your athletic performance...

So when you ask yourself, "What's the downside?", in other words, "What would you be risking?" if you were to accomplish this task or goal (ie: quit smoking)?" it may not be obvious...but then dig a little deeper and see what comes up when you answer these questions:

Who wouldn't like it if?
What things would you not be able to do anymore if?
What other kinds of changes might occur if?
What would you be afraid would happen if?
What happened the last time you did this?
Who else might be affected if?
What good thing might happen if you didn't do this? (upside)
What new thing would you have to do that you may not like if?

You might start to think of real examples like:
My friends who still smoke may not treat me the same
I might gain weight after I quit
I might fail again and I couldn't handle that
I might disappoint myself and my family
I remember last time I quit, that was around the same time that I lost my job
I wouldn't have to work hard and feel pressure to succeed
I'd get to keep use smoking to relieve my stress
I don't feel safe doing it because I don't like change
I won't be able to go to my favorite places because it's too tempting.
It's too hard and I don't want to try.

Do you see how underneath the superficial idea of quitting smoking there are other limiting beliefs that could be in the way of your success? Each of these aspects holds a new opportunity for EFT tapping to peel away the layers getting closer and closer to reaching your goal.

There is always some benefit that we are receiving by hanging onto a perceived block or problem. You can actually flip the question and ask, "What's the upside?" What benefits do you get if you don't succeed?

Often, just with EFT tapping on the underlying issues that you uncover, it melts away your resistance and your feelings and results will change.

Tell The Truth With Your EFT Tapping 

The main focus with EFT tapping is to identify your true feelings and give yourself a voice.

It's not "good" or "bad" to feel how you feel, it just is the way it is. Honestly, it's still a part of your energy system whether you talk about it or not so why not tell the truth about it?

You might be confused thinking that it's not good to bring up your "negative" thoughts because you're often being told to "think positively."

Thinking only positive thoughts isn't realistic or even possible.

We can't deny that we will always have both sides of our emotions, that's what makes us human. So by identifying and saying your true feelings out loud, you allow yourself to acknowledge your fears, doubts, pain, hurt, disappointment, etc. that are often a subconscious part of you anyway.

Then what you're doing is matching your conscious thoughts with the vibration you already have in your body. EFT tapping gives you the tool to be able to release your negative thoughts and limiting beliefs and replace them with ones that serve you better.

EFT often works when nothing else will. 

I dare anyone to watch this video and not get excited about the possibilities of EFT.

Trouble Getting Started w/ Your EFT Tapping? 

TRY THESE SET-UP PHRASES:

If you can't identify your issue specifically start with:
Even though I:
have this conflict,
am not clear on my issue,
don't know what to tap on,
am not sure why I feel this way

You might need to tap on your anxiety about EFT tapping:
Even though I:
am afraid I'm not doing it right,
am convinced that it'll never work for me,
don't want to make a mistake,
don't believe this is going to work,
don't know what words to use


HERE ARE VERY POWERFUL "EVEN THOUGH" PHRASES:
Even though a part of me wants to/doesn't want to:
hang onto this problem,
sabotage myself,
continue to feel this way,
stay here because it's safe...

Even though I'm convinced...
that it can't possibly be this easy,
that this is all I deserve,
that I won't be safe if things change

Will You Feel Differently After You Tap? 

Of course there's not just one answer to this question but here are a few things you might experience if you simply tune into your body.

• Sometimes you'll feel an overall calm and peacefulness
• Sometimes you might just smile and it feels easier to breathe
• Sometimes you'll notice that you have better clarity in your thoughts
• Sometimes you might feel powerful, giddy or really optimistic
• Sometimes you'll get a tingly or warming sensation throughout your body
• Sometimes you'll feel a release of emotions & lighter and less tense
• Sometimes you won't feel any real shift

How Will You Know EFT Tapping Is Working? 

Admittedly, the effects can be outwardly subtle but inwardly very profound. The best part is knowing that EFT is always working on some level, every time you use it.

• A fear you have had all your life..... is gone!
• A worry about your health, your work, a relationship, or another ongoing issue has decreased so radically that you see the situation entirely differently.
• You feel easier and more optimistic about things and this makes a huge difference in how well you handle similar issues.
• The traumatic after effects of a disaster, accident or shock have been diffused. Although you can remember the incident, it no longer upsets you.
• A tendency to tighten-up ("freeze") at a crucial moment when participating in a sport or other public performance is...... no longer there. You can relax and let your natural abilities take over.

It's our job as practitioners to show as many people as possibly the wonderful miracles that EFT has to offer. With all of us working hand in hand to help Gary realize his dream as well as our own I think we will surprize ourselves. As believers in the great Laws of Attraction why not already "see" the results we want and watch the magic...all the best, Janelle EFT-ADV Los Alamitos, Ca

Well, Gary says we are in the basement of a healing high rise. Its frustrating, but that is a base.

I have found that more and more people have heard of it and accept it.

The longer it takes is the world's loss unfortunately - but it's coming! Especially with the accelerated personal development movement that we've seen recently. I can see a show about EFT tapping being featured on Oprah, PBS or HBO in the next year or two. So those of us who know the power of EFT just need to keep spreading the word.
