EFT Training

The one EFT question I get asked over and over again is "How do I find the right set up phrase or opening statement to tap on?"

That is the million dollar question in EFT because the right set up phrase or opening statement is exactly what makes the "EFT miracle cure" happen in an instance. And to a large degree, how good an EFT practitioner is I would measure by how quickly and accurately they can identify the kinds of set up phrases or opening statements that would unlock that person's problems like the perfect key unlocks a door.

Here is an easy way to find perfect EFT set ups and opening statements you can do yourself when you are doing EFT in self help and without an experienced EFT practitioner to help you out.

A question about recurring points in a custom EFT sequence of EFT tapping points known as an algorithm discovered with kinesiology muscle testing.

X writes: My therapist has taught me EFT and I've been trying to use it when anxious. My problem is the starting phrase - "I totally and completely love and accept myself". I can't say that, I get stuck and can't go on. Can you help me?

Dear X,

You are not alone!

Lots and lots and lots of people, and probably even your therapist, although they might have forgotten this by now, baulk at the set up phrase "I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself."

Because they don't and they know they don't. And they don't want to do self help based on a lie. Totally understandable!

Here are 5 alternative approaches to choose from.

J. B. Rhine, who began investigating paranormal phenomena at Duke University in 1927, conducted a series of experiments whereby volunteers had to predict a suit of cards from a choice of four. He conducted many experiments, and his data showed a small statistic anomaly but it wasn't enough to convince the skeksis that was really something to ESP or, as you might term it, "being lucky at cards".

Recently, someone looked at his raw data and noticed that there were also some test results that were so bad, they were statistically significant also - people who got nothing right, or much less than their "fair share" of accidental bits of good luck. If you add those people, the ones who somehow managed to defy the odds and never get lucky to the ones who nearly always got lucky, you do end up with a really significant result for J B Rhine's experiments ...

Theoretically, everyone should "get lucky" some of the time.

"I have also seen a number of clients who would express a negative emotion, decide to tap on it, raise their hand to the Sore Spot or reach over for the Karate Chop tap, stopped in mid movement and started to laugh as the whole thing had already happened, all by itself."

Useful EFT article for advanced EFTers from 2002, outlining how to get from normal or classic EFT to instant EFT IEFT step by step.

I just came across this article, originally written for the StarFields group, from 2004.

It contains a very interesting EFT pattern that can be used with all manner of unrealistic "feelings" and the example is that of "feeling poor".

Dr Silvia Hartmann writes: I have just heard that Gary Craig, the original designer of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques, has decided to retire after these many years of unabated effort and sterling service bringing the many blessings of EFT to the people of the World. Here are my thoughts.

Ladies & Gentlemen all, it is of the essence to keep it quite clear that EFT can help us - really help us, if we don't misuse it to the degree that it stops working properly and then we end up "all disappointed again ..."

Read this article so you can avoid the awful fate of spending "50 years in therapy ..."

When this article was written on ideas how to use EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques (by Gary Craig) to unstick stuck Project Sanctuary puzzles, EFT was still new and hardly anyone had heard of it. This is not now the case and as EFT can be really helpful even in the most esoteric of spaces and situations, here is a re-print of the original article on EFT & Project Sanctuary.

* What is Project Sanctuary?

There was a complete family organisation around the mother's coulrophobia which also included that all TV had to be pre-recorded, checked for clowns or clown-like occurrences in cartoon or live format and then the family could view it.

This is a classic case example of how coulrophobia - a fear of clowns - was successfully treated with EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques.

Today, I saw a man who had been suffering from Seasonal Affected Disorder (seasonal affective disorder) or SAD as the fascinating acronym may be, and it turned out that the reason he got sad every October was nothing to do with our planet turning merrily through its seasons, as it does, but in fact with a severe trauma that had happened to him as a teenager and the date it happened was October 11th. That was the day when "the lights went out ".

"I (or someone I know) suffers from (insert ANY disease known to mankind). I'm thinking of using EFT - BUT do you know of anyone else who has successfully overcome/healed (disease X) and HOW did they do it?"

• The "Three Lines Of Enquiry" is a simple, practical and very effective way for beginners to find their way into a problem and come up with the right EFT opening statements.
  

Dr Silvia Hartmann writes: I have noticed something which can make a big difference in the effectiveness of EFT treatments (and other treatments that rely on tapping or holding major meridian points).

This EFT tip is quite simple and a single instruction given at the right time by an experienced EFT practitioner will improve the speed at which the SUDs levels go down, and reduce the number of rounds needed to complete the treatment.

What I have noticed is this.
