The theory behind this technique is that old emotional wounds are stored in the body/mind as blocked energetic patterns. [http://www.gloriaarenson.com/ this information is copied from Gloria Arenson's Five Simple Steps to Emotional Healing]
Stimulating specific energy points by gentle tapping or holding releases the block, allowing our body/mind system to process the troubling problem. As the energy is brought into balance, thoughts about upsetting circumstances change and negative emotions diminish.
This process takes place on a bioelectromagnetic level throughout our being.
EFT is a self-healing approach based on the understanding that the body and mind are inextricably intertwined.
This 5-step procedure allows healing to take place.
Five Easy Steps
- Choose a problem. Tune in to that problem while gently tapping the eight energy points to balance the energy.
- Now rate the intensity of your negative feeling from 0-10 with 10 being the most intense.
- State this Affirmation three times while tapping the Karate Chop spot or rubbing the Tender spot (see the chart of Tapping Points):
"Even though ___fill in the blank___[I have this problem], I completely love/accept myself."
4. Tap the remaining energy points (eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, under lip, under collarbone, under arm) as you speak a reminder word or phrase such as: "this problem", "my anger/fear/guilt", or "releasing this problem."
5. Take a deep breath. Take stock. What is your rating now?
Notice any new thoughts or memories and practice Step 4 on each one until it is neutralized.
Return to the original problem and repeat Steps 4 and 5 until you reach zero or the problem is resolved. Zero means that you no longer feel any negative charge.
