How I have used EFT Gary Craig, the founder of EFT says to “Try it on everything!” For myself, I know EFT can help with many, many problems. For instance, today EFT has helped me with two challenges: I was feeling very judgmental about myself, so I did some tapping on accepting myself and now feel much better. Then, I wanted to start writing this newsletter. I couldn’t think of a title for this article, or what to say. So I tapped for “not being able to write.” Now ideas are flowing freely. (Email me if you want a copy of my tapping sequence. lorae@loraemarsten. com) In my part-time job as a substitute teacher, I have helped numerous students get over tummy aches and headaches in just a minute or two, without having to go into the theory of EFT. When I have been with students for long enough to build up rapport, I have been able to help them easily and quickly deal with anxiety, upsets and disappointment, especially the younger children. Closer to home, I have used EFT successfully on my cat to help him clear up a respiratory infection, and to give him back his spark for life, after he had undergone a “difficult relationship” with a large black dog! He really enjoyed the tapping experience. I have done surrogate tapping for my son and mother, among others. Mom has an elbow that isn’t healing and we have pretty well eliminated the pain. Now we are working on energizing and healing it. Among my clients, I have had success with people with asthma, diabetes, social anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, migraines, MS, chronic fatigue, weight loss, and the list goes on. EFT is truly amazing and I don’t believe we have truly tapped into its potential yet. Let’s not forget about this powerful healing modality we have at our disposal. To your health and happiness! (For serious, chronic issues, it is recommended to make use of a practitioner’s services.) Using EFT for Weight Loss A Tapping Sequence to Get you Started While all chronic conditions, and especially addictive behaviours (including overeating), have numerous emotional components that must be addressed before permanent success is possible, food cravings can usually be controlled quite easily with EFT. Below is a simple tapping sequence you might want to use when you don't want to give in to a craving. Suggested setups: Even though I have this huge food craving, I deeply and profoundly accept myself. Even though I really want to eat up all this_______I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though all I want to do is stuff myself with this right now, I deeply and profoundly accept myself. BE This craving SE I really want to eat this ____ UE I want it right now. UN This craving CH It won't go away. CB It feels bigger than me. UA This craving Head This craving (Repeat this round if you like) BE Could I let this craving go? SE Do I really want to eat this now? UE This remaining craving UN I don't really need this____ so badly. CH This remaining craving CB I could take it or leave it. UA I don't really need this _____. Head I could let it go. Repeat. |
