And How You Can Make It Work When It Doesn’t
Wanna know the absolute worst thing about Emotional Freedom Tapping?
It’s a total bust…
…if you don’t do it.
In fact, if you don’t do EFT tapping, it’s a complete failure.
And why you don’t do it?
I bet you’ve got some great reasons. Here are ten common reasons for not doing tapping therapy.
1. You’re not sure what to say.
2. You’re not sure you’re doing it right.
3. You have to have a quiet, private place to do it – and that’s hard to get.
4. It takes too much effort.
5. You’re not perfect at it, so why bother.
6. It would take way too much tapping to clear all your stuff.
7. It’s too hard.
8. It’s too complicated.
9. You think you need a professional, but that’s too expensive.
10. You don’t want to take the time.
Did I name any of your excuses for not doing Emotional Tapping? Whether I did or not, I’ll tell you something.
You will feel better if you do more tapping!
Tapping energizes your body, improves your emotional state and helps you think more clearly and resourcefully.
So, if you’re not tapping much these days, I’ve got a way to get you going.
Just tap.
That’s it. Just tap on the meridian points. No words are needed. It’s not much of a tapping technique – but it really works!
What Happens When You Do Emotional Tapping?
Tapping on the meridians helps to resolve stuck energy patterns. So if you’re feeling a strong troubling emotion, tapping the points helps to get the energy moving and to clear the upset.
How Do You Do It?
Let’s say you notice you are upset. You may be feeling any sort of upseting emotion. You may be feeling irritated, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, resentful, guilty, ashamed, scared or embarrassed.
Simply start to tap.
Tap at the eyebrow point, then the side of the eye, then under the eye, under the nose, chin, collarbone, under the arm, then the top of the head. Tap three, five or 20 times at each point. But there’s no need to count.
Then go again, from the eyebrow point to the top of the head.
After a couple of rounds stop tapping and notice what you’re thinking and feeling. If you’re still upset, tap some more.
While you’re tapping, just let your thoughts occur naturally. You don’t have to say them aloud or change them in any way.
You don’t even have to pay particular attention to your thoughts and feelings while tapping.
What Will Happen?
The tapping will automatically help to balance out your state and bring you more understanding and clarity. While it may not take you to perfect bliss, it still works very well.
And even though this form of wordless tapping may not be as effective as a thorough targeted session with a set-up and lots of words…
…it is far superior to no tapping at all!
Any time you feel any sort of disturbing emotion – just tap. Nothing complicated. You don’t need to set aside time for this kind of tapping.
Tap the points. That’s the basic tapping technique.
