Here is the full content of a presentation given by Dr Silvia Hartmann at the 3rd European Energy Psychology Conference in 2010 on using the breakthrough insights from Events Psychology to expedite EFT treatments, and how to find the "magical opening statements" (set ups) which bring about the EFT miracle experiences.

Essential information for advanced EFT practitioners and trainers.

• In June 2011 at the AMT Trainers Meeting at Gatwick, UK, it was decided to adopt the EFT Heart & Soul Protocol for general use as it significantly improves the effectiveness of EFT energy work, streamlines the EFT treatment process and helps EFT practitioners and clients work in a stressfree and mindful manner.

The following changes were made based on Dr Hartmann's report from 2009.

When God hands you a lemon, you make lemonade ... In Psychology there exists the concept of secondary gain, meaning that there are some benefits from holding on to a mental, emotional or physical problem. In EFT treatments it is important to address these secondary gains, especially when the EFT treatment doesn't seem to be working; but there is also another form of gain, namely the primary gain: the reason for having the problem in the first place.

Includes three example EFT cases to illustrate the concepts of primary gain and secondary gain: EFT Case 1: Psychosomatic Kidney Pain, EFT Case 2: EFT Not Working On Weightloss Issues, EFT Case 3: Failure To Recover From A Stroke.

Ever wondered what it is with magic and noses? Why witches have such big noses, and TV witches twitch their noses to make magic happen? Or wondered what this might have to do with EFT tapping points, meridians, self-confidence destroying global reversals and all that jazz?

No? Well, my friend, don't worry any longer - here is a great tip to tap, based on the 8 mysterious "magic meridians" or Qi Jing Ba Mai, which are said to be the gateways to mystery and magic ...

Paranormal skills and abilities, which include energy healing, telepathy, empathy, clairvoyance, clairaudience and many other very helpful talents besides, are run by aspects of our energy systems that are fine, and fragile.

As such, this "psychic circuitry" is extremely susceptible to stress disturbances which can and do result in problems with magic - manifesting all sorts of chaos, creating psychosomatic illness in oneself and in others in the environment, and of course, magic failure when nothing works any longer at all. EFT can help.

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

"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.

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?

EFT FreeFlow is a protocol for advanced EFT users to evolve non-specific opening statements in real time towards a threshold shift in a single session.

This detailed and extensive EFT Inner Child Healing protocol can be used with clients or in selfhelp to significantly improve understanding of the self, the self concept, and heal the energetic injuries of childhood.

This pattern, first published in 2007, represents an ESSENTIAL EVOLUTION on the way EFT treatments are conducted.

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 ".

Now this person has always had very low self esteem, as they say; and even in spite of many, MANY years in personal development, and even though there was some small improvement, they talked of there being "this dark core, this real darkness, that I can never seem to shake off".

THINKING about something scary or even vaguely scary causes immediately and directly and very realistically, ADRENALINE to be released into the systems.

By using EFT to reduce the build up of adrenaline and stopping the daily adrenaline shocks, we can transform our experience of life.

Unlock the power of EFT to change the way you feel about the world in a whole new and rather delicious way with this EFT Energy Meditation protocol that does not only clear your mind, but will also improve your mind/body flexibility, especially with practice.

This is an excellent advanced EFT pattern for use with EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques to build a real and powerful motivation from the inside out for a person on a wide range of topics and really help with deep and lasting change.

We acquire ereas or thoughtfields into our energy body over the course of our lifetimes which are not our own but were simply put there by someone or something else. These specific, non-self originated ereas have the codename of "evil CDs" - in reference to the metaphor of someone coming along and pushing one of their CDs into your internal stereo against your will, wishes, desires and often even entirely without your knowledge.

Certain problems cannot be resolved until they are resolved in the right order and sequence. A ship cannot leave a harbour successfully until the crew is on board, the anchor has been lifted, the ropes tying it to the quay released and the engines switched on – and all of this needs to happen in the right order and sequence or else the whole process simply gets nowhere at all.

Learning to do EFT as a ritual has great advantages in moments of high disturbance and crisis.

Practising the Classic EFT protocol, or one of the others to the point that it becomes automatic, ritualised, a ritual, can be life saving.

This is an application of the basic EFT protocol I have designed especially with self help in mind.

If you have used EFT on yourself, you'll probably know that sometimes it can happen that an issue has so many different layers and aspects, you think you have to tap forever...
