Talking To Yourself

admin

I was recently working with a new client who was new to EFT. After explaining the technique and tapping through a few rounds he experienced a noticeable shift. He felt more relaxed (a common result) and also had a cognitive shift regarding his issue.

He said that the way we had tapped was like having a conversation with himself. He explained that he was always having these conversations with himself anyway, so it would be great to tap at the same time to clear out the energy disruption and emotions involved.

Previously he had been explained EFT in a very mechanical way. The person had given him the words to use and repeat on each tapping point. E.g. this craving. Whilst that is one way of working, it doesn’t leave room for being creative and letting the words flow like in a conversation.

I’ve blogged in the past about people worrying about “the right words” to use and I thought the idea of having a conversation with yourself might just explain it even better. So next time that something is bothering you, notice the conversation you are having with yourself and tap! Just keep tapping as you go through your conversation. All those things you are telling yourself. Perhaps you are weighing up the pros and cons of a decision or a talking to yourself about a behaviour you do. Perhaps you are trying to figure out how to speak to someone about an issue, or how to approach a situation. Just start tapping whilst you are having this conversation with yourself. You may feel energy move in your body, feel calmer, yawn or be able to laugh at yourself. All these can indicate a shift. Keep tapping until you feel a shift occur and there is more clarity or a resolution.

You can also begin to notice any negative self talk you do as well. E.g. notice when you say to yourself – I’m not good enough for that, I’m not clever enough to go for that job, I don’t deserve that promotion etc. Again when you begin to notice the self talk you can tap any time you notice it, acknowledge it and let it go. You can even say “I now release these thoughts” as you tap.

Keep the conversations going and keep tapping!

Patience is a Virtue

admin

Do you hate waiting for things? I’m referring to things like a job offer, a promotion, moving house or going on holiday. Or maybe it’s the smaller things that really try your patience like waiting for a bus, waiting in the traffic or waiting at the dentists.  Is there a difference in your patience? Do you have more patience for bigger events and less for the mundane things? Or is it the other way around?

What things do you do whilst you have to wait? What emotions are present when you are waiting? Frustration, anger, fear, guilt? Make a note of your feelings around these issues so that you can compare with how you feel after you have done some tapping on the issue.

So, as usual, write down your score on a scale of 0 -10 (where 10 is maximum impatience).

Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:

  • Even though I hate waiting for things, I’m willing to accept myself anyway
  • Even though I get so frustrated and angry when I’m waiting, I’m open to accepting myself anyway
  • Even though I have no patience, I accept how I feel anyway

Eyebrow: I hate waiting
Side of Eye: It makes me angry and grumpy
Under Eye: It’s so frustrating waiting
Under Nose: I have no patience
Chin: I get so mad if I have to wait
Collarbone: It frustrates me waiting for things
Under Arm: I don’t have any patience
Top of Head: It feels like I’m wasting my life waiting

Eyebrow: I can’t sit still when I’m waiting
Side of Eye: I have to keep checking how much time has passed
Under Eye: and how much time is left to go
Under Nose: I find it so annoying
Chin: It makes me so mad
Collarbone: It really winds me up waiting
Under Arm: I find myself fidgeting and pacing back and forth
Top of Head: I have no patience and hate waiting

Eyebrow: I’m open to feeling different about waiting
Side of Eye: What if I could feel calmer about waiting
Under Eye: Maybe I can feel less frustrated
Under Nose: I’m open to having more patience
Chin: What if I could do something constructive when I have to wait
Collarbone: Maybe I won’t get angry and frustrated
Under Arm: What if I found it easier to wait
Top of Head: I’m open to letting it be easy to feel patient

Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you no longer feel so impatient. I’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave a comment.

Keep tapping!

It’s Too Hard To Lose Weight

admin 1 Comment

Does it always seem like a struggle for you to lose weight? Is it always an uphill battle? Does it seem like you have to fight your willpower? Do you feel the pounds pile on when you just look at a cake or chocolate bar?

Have you tried lots of different diets? Have you started them with full enthusiasm and then given up by the time the week is out?

It’s no wonder 95% of diets fail. We are always going to battle our willpower if we have to limit our calorie intake and avoid eating certain foods. We know that on a bad day, it is just too easy to think “sod it” and grab a chocolate bar or biscuit.

Weighing scales
Lose weight with EFT

Instead, we can forget about calorie counting, cabbage eating (unless you enjoy cabbage that is!) and watching the “sins” we eat. We can utilise the power of EFT instead and lose weight the easy way.

Here’s a script that can help you if you feel it is just too hard to lose weight and you have failed so many times in the past that you think you’ll fail again.

Rate your score on a scale of 0 – 10 first, where 10 is it feels impossible to lose weight or you’re convinced you’ll fail again.

Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:

  • Even though it feels impossible for me to lose weight, I’m willing to accept myself anyway
  • Even though I feel it’s too hard for me to lose weight, I’m open to accepting myself anyway
  • Even though I think there’s no point as I’ll just give up and feel like a failure again, I accept how I feel about this

Eyebrow: It’s impossible for me to lose weight
Side of Eye: It takes too much effort
Under Eye: It’s too difficult to stick to healthy food
Under Nose: I don’t want to fail yet again
Chin: I fail every time
Collarbone: It takes too much energy for me to lose weight
Under Arm: I don’t have enough self-control
Top of Head: I hate fighting my willpower

Eyebrow: There’s too much temptation everywhere I look
Side of Eye: Why is it so difficult for me to lose weight?
Under Eye: I hate feeling hunger all the time
Under Nose: I love my food too much
Chin: It feels like an uphill battle for me to lose weight
Collarbone: I hate struggling to lose weight
Under Arm: I’ve tried so many diets
Top of Head: I always end up quitting and feeling like a failure

Eyebrow: I’m open to trying something different
Side of Eye: What if I could change how I feel about food
Under Eye: Maybe I can feel satisfied eating less
Under Nose: I’m open to changing my relationship with food
Chin: What if I could feel comforted without eating
Collarbone: Maybe I won’t fail this time
Under Arm: What if I it was easier this time
Top of Head: I’m open to letting it be easy this time

Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you no longer feel it is impossible to lose weight or that you’ll fail again. I’d love to hear your feedback, so please leave a comment.

Keep tapping!

Shift The Christmas Spread

admin

I know, you said you wouldn’t do it this year. But it is very difficult not to over-indulge at Christmas. When you visit family especially they always seem to insist you eat and drink a lot! Even if you don’t necessarily eat more, what you do eat tends to be richer and more calorie laden! You try your best and yet you somehow manage to put on at least a few pounds. Well now that the new year is here, it’s time to shift those extra Christmas pounds.

So take some time out, sit down for a few minutes and do some tapping. Here is a tapping script that can help you.  Write down your score on a scale of 0 – 10 first (where 10 is maximum guilt/disappointment etc).

Setup:
Tap on the Karate Chop whilst repeating three times:

  • Even though I feel so guilty for putting on weight at Christmas again, I’m willing to accept myself anyway
  • Even though I feel disappointed with myself because I over-indulged again, I’m willing to forgive myself
  • Even though I feel sad that I’ve put this weight on, when I was doing so well, I love and accept myself anyway

Eyebrow: Why did I have to over-indulge?
Side of Eye: I’m so disappointed with myself
Under Eye: I feel so guilty that I ate too much
Under Nose: Why do I put weight on so easily
Chin: I feel sad now when I look in the mirror
Collarbone: Getting on the scales makes me mad with myself
Under Arm: I should have had more self-control
Top of Head: I should have tried harder to say no

Eyebrow: But it’s so difficult with all the parties
Side of Eye: Everyone else is eating and drinking
Under Eye: I feel so bad when I try to not do the same
Under Nose: I feel pressured to eat as much as everyone else
Chin: It seems rude to not eat at a party
Collarbone: When they’ve gone to all that trouble
Under Arm: I hate myself for eating too much
Top of Head: I find it so hard to stop eating once I start

Eyebrow: I’m open to thinking about this differently
Side of Eye: What if I could give myself a break
Under Eye: Maybe I did my best under the circumstances
Under Nose: Christmas is a tempting time
Chin: What if I can shift these extra Christmas pounds
Collarbone: Maybe I can lose this extra weight easily
Under Arm: What if I enjoyed losing this Christmas weight
Top of Head: I’m open to enjoying myself as I shift these Christmas pounds

Use your words where appropriate to really tune in to how you feel. Keep tapping until you no longer feel any guilt, disappointment or sadness. If you feel a craving for a specific food then tap along with my video. If you would like some help losing weight with EFT then please do get in touch.

Keep tapping!

Energy Toning

admin 4 Comments

Energy what? Energy toning. In other words, toning our energy system. When we exercise we tone our physical body. This is the equivalent for our energy body. This is a concept developed by Steve Wells and Dr. David Lake in their SET or Simple Energy Techniques system. You can continually tap on the points whilst you focus on an issue or just continuously tap on the points without focusing on anything. They noticed that participants  who continuously tapped through their workshops got better results.

This continuous tapping is a great way to help you feel calmer and more balanced every day. One of the easiest ways to do this continuous tapping is to use just the finger points. These are mostly left out now by more EFT practitioners. Use your thumb to tap on the finger points on the same hand. You can either do one hand at a time or both hands together. Some suggestions for when to do this:

  • Stressful meeting at work
  • Stuck in rush hour traffic
  • Watching TV
  • Stuck in a queue at the supermarket
  • Whilst walking

There are so many ways you fit this in to your daily life. Because you don’t need to repeat setup statements and reminder phrases it is easy to do in public and not be seen. The finger points are particularly useful and very discreet. No-one will know you are tapping!

For more information on SET please visit http://www.eftdownunder.com/SET.html

I have made a commitment to do more continual finger tapping myself this year. Already I have found myself feeling calmer and responding to situations in a more thoughtful, rather than reactionary way.

I would love to hear your experiences with this. Please drop me a comment with your feedback.

Keep tapping!
