Visit my Introduction to EFT page first. Okay, let's start with the basics of the actual EFT tapping technique. EFT was developed by Gary Craig, founder of EmoFree.com - the definitive website for learning EFT. Originally the tapping technique was developed using the 9-Gamut method which included the individual finger points. Actually, if you download Gary's EFT instruction manual, you'll see that the 9-Gamut method is still included. However, a modified, shorter version is now widely being used by EFT practitioners and has proven to give the same amazing results. Learning EFT: The Basic Technique Bob Doyle does a great job explaining the basics, watch this video. Tips Before You Tap Drink a full glass of water before tapping to stimulate and prepare your body's electrical system ~~~~~~~~~ You can tap down either side of your body with the first 2 fingers of either or both hands, or try crossing over ~~~~~~~~~ Don't tap too hard. Use the same amount of pressure you would as if you were drumming your fingers on a table. ~~~~~~~~~ Take a slow deep breath after you complete a round of tapping to help move the energy through your body ~~~~~~~~~ Yawning during tapping is a sign that you are releasing energy, so let out the yawns and keep going ~~~~~~~~~ When you tap along with a group of others (either live or via recording), you will experience "borrowing benefits" whether or not you are the "primary tapper". So always tap along. ~~~~~~~~~ The key to tapping is to "tune in" and always ask yourself "How does saying this or thinking this make me feel?" and that will be your guide.

Learning EFT: Sample Tapping Rounds

Before starting a round of EFT, the first step is to CHOOSE a problem to work on. It can be anything from:

• Fear of speaking in public
• Anxiety over a job interview
• Anger at your spouse over an argument
• Relief from a pounding headache

The topics are endless, but all very personal to you. Start anywhere you want, JUST START!

Next, you RATE your intensity level. Decide how much it bothers you on a scale of 0-10 where 0=no distress and 10=highest level of discomfort. This is called the S.U.D.S. scale which stands for "Subjective Units Of Discomfort". When you think about it...

• How anxious are you?
• How uncomfortable do you feel?
• Do you physically feel a knot in your gut, lump in your throat, tightness in your shoulders or chest?

Pay attention to how you feel before you tap so that you can have a scale to measure your results by. The goal is to feel your current vibration and then improve upon it.

Then, you develop an EFT SET-UP phrase. The set-up phrase always starts with the words, "Even though I..." and then you state the issue and follow it with the affirmation..."I deeply and completely love and accept myself." (this will vary as you get more advanced)

You can ask yourself "How true does this statement feel for me? When you measure before and after.

In my opinion, she is THE most talented practitioner working today. Learning EFT from her has sped up my results immeasurably.

Her life-changing EFT for Attracting Abundance book is an outstanding learning tool. The revised 2nd Edition now has over 60 pre-written EFT tapping sequences and abundance exercises with companion audio MP3 files. In fact she offers dozens of EFT products at her Abundance Store and it's well worth looking into.

Ok, have a drink of water and let's tap.

The EFT SETUP Phrases for this topic are as follows:

"Even though I've been holding a consciousness of scarcity, I choose to change that now."

"Even though I haven't been feeling prosperous and I've been focusing on lack, I have decided to notice the abundance in my life."

"Even though I don't feel much prosperity in my life, I deeply and profoundly love and accept who I am and how I feel anyway."

Eyebrow: "I've been feeling such lack in my life."
Side of Eye:"I don't know how to feel more prosperity."
Under Eye: "I don't feel very prosperous right now."
Nose: "I choose a new vibration of prosperity."
Chin: "I don't feel very abundant right now."
Collarbone: "I am so aware of the lack in my life."
Under Arm: "I feel powerless and hopeless."
Head: "I'm willing to notice more abundance and prosperity."

Eyebrow: "What if I decided to notice prosperity in my life?"
Side of Eye: "I know it's there, I just haven't focused on it."
Under Eye: "I choose to notice the abundance all around me."
Nose: "I choose to rejoice in the prosperity in my life."
Chin: "I feel more abundant even now."
Collarbone: "I love knowing there is enough for me."
Under Arm: "I love feeling more relaxed about prosperity."
Head: "I choose to feel calm and allow abundance into my life."

Eyebrow: "I love knowing we all deserve abundance..."
Side of Eye: "I choose to tune into the guidance I am receiving..."
Under Eye: "I appreciate the prosperity in my life..."
Nose: "I love appreciating myself, my friends, my opportunities..."
Chin: "I'm grateful for all the new channels for abundance..."
Collarbone: "I appreciate exactly who I am..."
Under Arm: "I appreciate all the lessons I have learned..."
Head: "I am so grateful for all the prosperity in my life."

Ok, that's the tapping sequence. Now take a slow deep breath and
MEASURE your post-tapping intensity rating on the same scale as above to indicate if you felt a shift in your energy.

IMPT: While going through the tapping points, many thoughts will be darting in and out of your mind. PAY ATTENTION TO THEM. You may have quick flashes of past events, conversations, specific feelings and emotions. These are coming from your subconscious and are somehow related to the topic you are tapping for.

Each of these thoughts opens the opportunity for you to reveal another aspect of your issue. Once you identify a new aspect, you can then create a new set-up phrase and work on that.

The goal is to peel away at the layers of a given issue until you feel it has been cleared. Your subconscious mind will give you clues to help get to the root of it if you listen closely.

Learning EFT Continued...

You can read a written description giving the basic steps of EFT
(p.s. you just did that :)

• If you are good at learning self-help techniques from the printed word, you may be able to learn the bare-bones of EFT this way.
• For most people, just simply reading about it is the least effective way to learn EFT.

Gary Craig's EFT Training Workshop DVDs (SOLD OUT)

• I'd say that 99% of practitioners working have purchased and studied Gary Craig's video series. An essential tool in learning EFT; however, due to Gary's retirement announcement the remaining quantities are sold out. Find someone who has them and ask for them to make you a copy. Gary allows up to 100 copies per set that you can share.
• The benefits are that you can absorb the lessons at your own pace from home and always have the videos to review later. You can also apply it to your own issues while you're learning as well as share it with your family members.

III. THIRD WAY OF LEARNING EFT

You can use the internet to uncover countless learning resources

Click Here To Review My Favorite EFT Products

• You can Google and surf your way across the internet and find hundreds of sites that offer information on EFT from every angle.It can become overwhelming once you start looking, so I am happy to give you a short list of my most recommended EFT resources.

• This is a good way if the practitioner is sufficiently skilled in EFT. However, you must first find out what the practitioner's training & expertise in EFT is, their skills vary widely.
• Fees for an individual session usually run from $80 to $175 U.S. also, you are very likely to need more than one session when learning EFT one-on-one.

Google search "EFT Workshops" & choose a trusted practitioner

• EFT workshops are often a fine way of learning EFT but they are few and far between and are held only in certain locations.
• Gary Craig has recently removed the list of EFT Workshops from the EmoFree site due to the fact that some of the ones listed were not up to his standards of endorsement and people were mistakenly assuming they were. Therefore, carefully investigate the background of your workshop leader and find out just what you are going to be taught before investing your time and money.
• EFT workshops typically last one or two days with fees running from $200 to $500.
