EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a powerful self-help method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure with modern psychology. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to start your EFT practice.
The beauty of EFT lies in its simplicity. You don't need any special equipment or training to begin. All you need is your fingertips and a willingness to explore this transformative technique.
To get started, identify a specific issue you'd like to address. This could be anxiety about an upcoming event, a physical pain, or a limiting belief. Rate the intensity of this issue on a scale from 0 to 10, where 10 is the most intense.
Next, create a setup statement that acknowledges the problem while accepting yourself. For example: 'Even though I have this anxiety about my presentation, I deeply and completely accept myself.'
Begin tapping on the karate chop point while repeating your setup statement three times. Then, move through the tapping sequence, touching each point 5-7 times while focusing on your issue.
After completing one round, take a deep breath and reassess your intensity level. Many people experience significant relief after just one round, but don't hesitate to repeat the process until you feel better.
