The Stages of Employing EFT

While employing EFT for important issues, purposes and goals various underlying or parallel aspects may surface which may seem more intense and requiring attention. In such circumstances we would do well to direct our attention to these until they are either totally collapsed or significantly less than other apparent aspects.

We should, however, keep a mental or written list of «unfinished business» with any emotions, thoughts, beliefs or forms of resistance which may have appeared in our consciousness so that we can return to them and methodically work with them until all energy fields associated with this problem or goal have been cleared.

We might work in the following stages:

Stage ?. We employ EFT on our chosen issue with the shorter algorithms. If we do not get significant results in three of these shorter rounds, then we move to stage B.

Stage B. We perform at least three rounds complete with set up, gamut series and all 12 points. If we do not get significant results in three of these complete rounds, then we move to stage C.

Stage C. We continue to employ complete rounds while:
1. Trying out different locations
2. Doing it at different times of the day.
3. Taking the Bach Rescue Remedy while doing the set up. (Optional)
4. Performing the collarbone breathing during the original set up.
5. *** Correcting for Psychological Reversal frequently throughout the day by rubbing the sore spot or tapping on the side of hand, while repeating the appropriate phrases.
6. Keeping a diary of our work and results.
If we still do not have our desired results after three consecutive days of at least five rounds a day, we then move then move to stage D.

Stage D. We continue to employ complete rounds while:
1. Eating only fresh fruits and vegetables for three days. (No sugar, wheat, corn, nicotine, caffeine, chocolate, sweets or bread.)
2. Avoiding any chemicals on the body such as perfume or body cremes etc.
3. Taking a shower without soap and doing EFT naked – without clothing that might be creating psychological reversal.
If we still do not have our desired results after five consecutive days of at least five rounds a day, then move then move to stage E.

Stage E. We consult an experienced EFT practitioner in our area for help.

*** Correcting for Psychological Reversal throughout the day

Independent of the our regular daily rounds of EFT, we would do well to frequently correct for psychological reversal by rubbing on the sores spot or tapping on the sides of the hands using the appropriate affirmations such as:

A. «Even though (refer to the emotion, problem or goal) __________, I deeply and profoundly love myself.

Or

B. « I chose (want, desire, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from this (refer to the emotion, problem or obstacle to the goal) ____________________________.

Or

C. I chose to create (accept) _______________(mention the desired result such as: health, happiness, love, success, professional or economic satisfaction.)

Persistence is the key to success here.

Note: EFT practitioners are not necessarily doctors or licensed psychotherapists. You must never replace your normal therapy procedures with EFT. You are totally responsible for your health and wellbeing.
