Video Introduction to TFT/EFT from EFT Universe.Com:
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) uses the acupuncture meridians in an easy-to-learn tapping process.
First choose an issue that you want to work on.
The second part is the Setup. While tapping on the Karate Chop (KC) point on the side of the hand in the soft area between the wrist and the knuckle by the baby finger say the “Setup Statement” a minimum of three times.
The Setup Statements consist of saying something like:
Even though I have this fear of water, I completely love and accept myself.
Even though I had a bad day at work, I completely love, accept and forgive myself.
After completing the setup, just tap down the body using the tapping points listed below to guide you. As you tap, use a reminder phrase such as, “This fear of water”. The EFT process works best when you stay focused on what you are tapping on. Also, pick a short, specific event rather than general trauma or events that spanned many years.
(SEE DIAGRAM AT TOP OF PAGE FOR POINTS)
EB: inside of eyebrow on either side SE: outside corner of eye UE: under the eye in the center right on the bone UN: under the nose CH: just above the chin in the indentation CB: collarbone, tap gently with your fist to the left of the heart and upward about one inch. Sometimes called "the sore spot" because it will be tender. UA: under the arm level with the nipple or for a woman, under the armpit about four inches TOP OF HEAD: tap gently on the crown on the head using several fingers
Take a deep breath. Notice how intense you are feeling now. Rate it on a scale of 1 to 10. If you get anything higher than a zero (0), do another round using a slightly modified reminder phrase:
Repeat until you are at least at a one (1).
Now say the reminder phrase using “remaining” and tap down the body. Repeat if necessary. Some issues are very deep seated and take a bit longer to clear.
