Emotional Freedom Technique, EFT, is safe, needs no equipment and is very easy to learn. There are a few different things that you do need to learn when developing your Emotional Freedom Technique but the process is truly simple, easy and very forgiving. Individuals find that the more they use it the better their skills at finding the exact tapping spots on their body and improved effectiveness of the results. Like anything else in life, you get better each time you do it.
Using Emotional Freedom Techniques requires a specific sequence of events. Most practitioners encourage their participants to make a statement about what is concerning you at the moment, what you would like to tap on. For instance, if you would like to tap on a specific anxiety you might make a statement such as, “I am highly anxious at the grocery store.” Next, it’s time to come up with a reminder phrase, a short phrase that is used to refer to your memory order to the problem. That phrase is used during the process to stay focused on the memory and create the emotion or feeling that goes along with it. (1)
In the case of the anxiety related to the grocery store your reminder phrase may be, “I’m afraid of the grocery store.” When you think about your anxiety at the grocery store, assess the amount of anxiety, or intensity level that you feel. Rate this on a scale of zero to 10 with 10 being the most painful memory or intensity that you might feel and zero being nothing. The actual accuracy of the number is not important as it is only used to generally track your progress.
