STEP 2: How intense is it?    Stress level [0-10]

STEP 3: State it: Even though I have anxiety about _____, I deeply and completely accept myself." 

~I respect & love myself ~ I’m still a good person ~ I know I’m O.K. or other positive wording

STEP 4: SET-UP: While tapping on the Karate Chop Point, state your affirmation out loud 3 times.    

Choose an easy, short Reminder Phrase that represents the issue you’re working on, such as “this anxiety problem” “health issue” relationship horror” or “my chocolate cravings.”

This can be adjusted as you go through the Taping process, go with your feelings.

STEP 5: SEQUENCE: Tap, while stating the problem or issue:

What do the Emotional Freedom Techniques do?

EFT speaks directly to your body, bypassing the conscious mind, and completes the processing of those chemicals out of the cell receptors, returning your body to a state of balance.

This is accomplished through a series of taps on end acupuncture points on your face and hands. There are no needles involved and it is a do-it-yourself technique. Once learned, you will literally have this tool at your fingertips for the rest of your life!

 And unlike other techniques, since we’re speaking directly to your body and not your mind, you don’t have to believe it will work in order for it to work. You can remain completely skeptical and still get great results!

The Science of EFT  

• You can remain completely skeptical and still get great results. Unlike other techniques, EFT speaks directly to your body and not your mind, so you don't have to believe it will work in order for it to work.

• Tapping is not designed to replace anything you are already doing in your life. Use it as an addition to good nutrition, chiropractic, naturopathic and modern medical care. In fact, EFT compliments any other modality that is already adding to your health, well-being and life.  

Cellular healing with EFT also allows complimentary therapies such as massage, chiropractic, nutritional, physical therapy, etc. to advance at a deeper, more beneficial level.
