Measuring your relief

[Guest guest]

Complete

Relief

 

If the feeling you had is completely relieved, and you feel no emotional

response at all when you recall the experience from Step #1, great! You

responded well to one round of EFT! You experienced, in a few moments, the

power of this technique.

 

Partial Relief

 

Often, however, there is a reduction in the level of intensity of the emotion,

say from a 5 or 6 to a 2 or 3. The remainder of the emotion needs to be treated

with another round or two of EFT. In the subsequent rounds, it is important to

adjust the Setup Statement and the Reminder Phrase to address the rest of the

emotion or feeling. Use wording similar to, " Even though I still have some

of this emotion, I deeply and completely accept myself, " and repeat it

three times while tapping the Karate Chop point.

Then repeat,

" This remaining stress, " or " This remaining problem " during

the Tapping Sequence. Do as many rounds of EFT as necessary until your

emotional response is zero when you focus on the original experience from Step

#1.

 

No Relief

 

If the first round of EFT did not lower the intensity of the feeling, try

becoming more specific with the Setup Statement. For example, when dealing with

stress you may need to define who or what is causing my stress to unblock the

stuck energy. You could then repeat something similar to " Even though I

have this stress about having to finish this article by today, I deeply and

completely accept myself " during the Setup. Then you could use " this deadline

stress " as a Reminder Phrase during the Tapping Sequence. Along with being

more specific, persistence is sometimes necessary with this technique to reach

a breakthrough. Try a few more rounds of EFT and see if the intensity of the

problem or emotion eases somewhat.

 

This simple, or " shortcut, " version of EFT is around 60 % effective

and often results is some sort of relief for a specific problem. Coached by a

skilled practitioner, who will know how to deal with special blocks that

sometimes stand in the way of success, EFT has been clinically shown to be 80%

effective.
