A new psychological treatment method known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) has been gaining in popularity all over the world nowadays. After all, many people who have tried this technique attest to the fact that it is effective in helping solve some of the common problems that people are experiencing.

In this book, this technique will be discussed further. Its unique features tapping our meridian points and using scripts to deal with the problem will be presented along with sample scripts to get you started with the practice.

A new method that is drawing attention today when it comes to helping individuals cope with their problems is EFT or the Emotional Freedom Technique. In this chapter, we will discuss the basics of this revolutionary therapy method.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) was a method created by Gary Craig in his EFT Handbook published in the late 1990s. It is a relatively new treatment method under Energy Psychology, combining many different methods such as acupuncture (a Chinese traditional treatment approach), neuro-linguistic programming, Thought Field Therapy, and energy medicine.

Also referred to as psychological acupressure, this technique is aimed at helping individuals to live their lives harmoniously by unblocking the energy system this is believed to be the source of emotional discomforts. These blockages are also believed to limit our beliefs and behaviors. This manifests in the form of different emotional and physical problems such as depression and anxiety, lack of self-esteem and confidence, and a higher risk of adopting addictive and compulsive behaviors. After all, it is now believed that some physical symptoms can be causes of emotional disharmonies. This led to the technique being an acceptable form of treatment, and it is now being used in the fields of psychotherapy and medicine.

Generally, EFT works through the use of tapping energy meridian points while mentioning affirmative phrases. As this technique was influenced by acupuncture, these energy meridian points throughout the body are already determined; the only difference is that EFT doesnt need to use needles in order to accomplish the desired effect. EFT only uses the fingertips to input kinetic energy in these meridians (primarily on the head and chest) while youre thinking of a specific problem that you want to have solved and voicing out positive affirmations while tapping. In short, you are unblocking the meridian points of negative energy and the verbalizing of positive affirmations serve as the replacement of those you have removed. By doing so, you are stuffing your meridian points (and ultimately your whole system) with positive energy. This restores physical and psychological balance, and makes healing faster.

For you to get the full effects of tapping in your life, you should do it as often as you can. Generally, the practice should be done upon waking up, before you take your meals, when you need to go to the bathroom, and before you go to bed.

It is also advised that if possible, you should apply it even in public situations such as when you are waiting for the traffic light to turn green, or when youre seated on your office chair. However, doing it in public has one major flaw it is too conspicuous and looks awkward. In these cases, you can only use at least two fingers on one hand for tapping. With this practice, you can continue with your tapping without looking awkward or having other peoples attention directed to you.

The following are important tapping techniques that you should use in order to ensure that you are doing it properly and will therefore gain the full benefits from it:

1.In order to maximize the benefits that you can get from tapping, it is important that you use all your fingertips in tapping the meridian points. During the early development of the technique, only two fingers were initially used for tapping. As it went through changes, the use of four fingertips is now being implemented and taught to patients. This is for the reason that the use of four fingertips will cover a larger area than tapping with just one or two fingers. Also, it will be easier for you to cover the meridian points (although it is not necessary to hit the meridian points precisely unlike in acupuncture).

2.Use your fingertips, not your finger pads. This is for the reason that your fingertips have more meridian points than the finger pads. Finger pads may only be used by women who have long fingernails.

3.Remove any accessories such as watches, bracelets, or glasses as they can interfere with the technique. Although you can go around the accessories while tapping, you will be able to cover a good portion of the meridian points if your accessories are removed.

4.Apply enough pressure while tapping just enough to make the pressure felt by your body or face, but not hard enough that it will hurt you while tapping.

Aside from the significance of the fingertips in the whole EFT process, you should also know the specific areas where you should tap. The meridian points in this list are presented in order (This is the sequence that you should follow while doing the technique.).

1.Start with the top of your head. Specifically, you should tap from the center of the skull going down to the upper part of the back of your head.

2.From the top of the head, do the tapping on the beginning of your eyebrows, following the part just above the area covered by your eyebrows. Spread your fingers thoroughly, with your pinky fingers almost meeting each other on the center of your face (on top of your nose).

3.From your eyebrows, you should tap on the side of the eyes. This refers to the bone where your eyes are located.

4.Move the tapping under the eyes. This is the part under the bone where the eyes are located. Specifically, this is the area just above the cheeks and is near the nostrils.

5.From under the eyes, tap on the area under the nose. Specifically, this refers to the area where you grow your moustache (just below the nostrils and near the top of your upper lip.

6.After the tapping under the nose, you should next tap your chin (or your chin point). This refers to the area below your bottom lip, in the middle of your chin area.
