Tapping with EFT

EFT, do you take it serious, and if not, why not ?

A few questions always come up when talking to people who are new to EFT. One of them is invariably “Do I have to talk out loud when doing a tapping round ?” Obviously, nobody wants to attract too much attention to what looks like a silly procedure. The simple answer is “No” with qualifications. It will take some practice but it becomes second nature eventually. When I tried to do this, visualizing myself tapping and saying whatever was appropriate for the occasion, my mind invariably went on a walkabout and I was thinking about everything but EFT and my particular problem. Till one day, I was tapping in the bathroom in front of a mirror. Later, after going to bed, I reviewed the happenings of the day and decided to tackle some unfinished business with EFT. When I started to visualize myself, the image of the mirror came to me and it seemed easier to remember the mirror image while talking in myself and seeing me doing the tapping. That worked better and from then on, whenever I was in a situation where talking out loud would certify me as a lunatic, I used the remembered image of the mirror while doing inner talking.If you have a particular tough nut to crack, a difficult problem that refuses to go away, then I would advise to retreat into a place where you can say things out loud without embarrassing yourself. Saying it out loud can help in that situation.But whichever way you do the tapping, make sure that you specify the problem in as much detail as you can. Vague description of a problem such as “I don’t feel good” is not going to cut the cake. Try and visualize the problem, a pain, a feeling, try to reconstruct it but take care to stop when the pain or feeling you visualize becomes to overpowering. The whole point of EFT is to get rid of emotional problems without going through the trauma of recreating the initial bad memories.Enjoy.
