Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a unique form of “psychological
acupuncture†that uses the ancient Chinese meridian system, but
instead of using needles, you use your fingers to tap on the body’s
pressure points. This easy, pain free method can help you relieve
negative emotional issues that have caused short circuits in your
body’s energy system. These short circuits cause psychological
stress that, if left unresolved can lead to physical ailments.
EFT eliminates these emotional short circuits and restores balance to
the energy system. This neutralizes the emotional conflicts at their
source, which then allows the body and mind to regain their natural
balance and resume their natural healing abilities.
EFT really does work, and more and more people are starting to notice:
"I consider EFT to be the perfect means now available to everyone for
regaining physical and mental health" - Tania de Winne, MD –
"Some day the medical profession will wake up and realize that
unresolved emotional issues are the main cause of 85% of all illnesses.
When they do, EFT will be one of their primary healing tools .... as it
is for me." - Eric Robins, MD -
“EFT has been for me, the single most effective technique I’ve used
in my 45 years of practice as a psychiatrist.†Curtis Steele, MD

The Basic Recipe for EFT
1) Choose the specific issue or negative emotion you’re feeling. Be
specific.
“I need some ice cream†or “I’m depressed because I’m so
fatâ€
2) Rate the intensity of your negative emotion on a scale of 1 to 10.
In this case 10 is the highest level of stress or desire.
“My desire for this ice cream is an 8 out of 10â€
“My depression over my weight is a 10 out of 10â€
3) Begin tapping. Use the fingers of one hand to tap on the karate
chop point of the opposite hand. The karate chop point is located on
the side of the hand opposite the thumb side of your hand. It’s the
side of the hand that you would use if you were doing a karate chop.
While tapping the karate chop point repeat the following affirmation 5
times:
“Even though I have this (STATE THE PROBLEM), I deeply and completely
accept, love and forgive myself.†(Repeat 5 times)
“Even though I am craving ice cream I deeply and completely accept,
love and forgive myself†(Repeat 5 times)
“Even though I’m depressed because I’m fat I deeplyand
completely accept, love and forgive myselfâ€
4) Tap 9 times on each of the following points while repeating the
"reminder phrase".
"I am releasing this (your problem)â€
“I am releasing this ice cream cravingâ€
“I am releasing this depressionâ€
The Points: ï€ ï€ Between the eyes
ï€ Sides of eyes
ï€ ï€ Under eyes
ï€ ï€ Under nose
ï€ ï€ Chin
ï€ ï€ Collarbone
ï€ ï€ Under arm
ï€ ï€ Head
5) Now rate the intensity of your negative emotion on a scale of 1 to
10. You should see a reduction in the intensity level. The process
might have to be repeated several times to reduce the intensity level
to a 0-2. If you have eliminated the negative emotion you can stop
here.
6) Variation of step 3 - “Even though I STILL have SOME of this
PROBLEM, I deeply and completely accept and love myself and forgive
myself.â€
“Even though I still have some craving for ice cream I deeply and
completely accept, love and forgive myself†(Repeat 5 times)
“Even though I still feel some sadness I deeply and completely
accept, love and forgive myself†(Repeat 5 times)
7) Variation of step 3 - "I am releasing this remaining (your
problem)â€.
“I am releasing this remaining ice cream cravingâ€
“I am releasing these remaining sad feelingsâ€
This basic lesson in EFT is easy to learn and use. Try it out the next
time you crave some potato chips or candy. You will be amazed how
quickly you can neutralize your cravings.
And best of all, IT’S FREE !!!
