So now we are going to go over the basic recipe of EFT; or at least my basic recipe of EFT. The first thing that you want to do is figure out what you want to work on. Be very specific. The more specific you are, the better results you will get. And so think about if you had a magic wand and you could fix one thing right now, what would that be. So now that you have your issue, give it a rating. "Zero" is everything is perfect, and "ten" is everything is as bad as it can get. So decide on a rating for what your issue is. And if you don't know, that's okay; just guess. So now that you have your rating, we will start with the basic recipe.
We're going to start by tapping on what's called your karate chop point. And just imagine that if you were to give someone a karate chop, it would be right at that spot right here. So you are going to start tapping on your karate chop point. I use multiple fingers just to over do it, why not? So continually tapping on your karate chop point, you're going to say a set up phrase three times. And the set-up phrase goes like this: even though I have this problem, I deeply and completely accept myself. Even though I have this problem, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I have this problem, I love and accept myself anyway.
Now I said it differently, but the basic idea is that you repeat three times some form of "even though I have this problem.." up to "myself." And the more emphatic...the more emphatic that you are with the "I deeply and completely accept myself..." So we'll repeat that again. Even though I have this problem, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. And that's what you'll say three times.
Once you've done the set-up phrase, then we will tap meridian points with a "reminder phrase." So the first spot is the eyebrow point which is right at the start of either eyebrow. And you'll just tap it. I use two fingers. And you'll tap it about five to seven times as you repeat "this problem." So it's just the reminder; you don't have to do the entire phrase. So it's "this problem."
The next point is called "side of eye." And that's right on the orbit bone on the side of your eye. And you repeat again, "this problem." Again, it's about five to seven times. Right under your eye...right in the middle...again, "this problem..." about five to seven times. The next spot is right under your nose, between your nose and your lip. And again, I use two fingers..."this problem." The next spot is called your "chin." And it's right at that middle point..."this problem."
The next spot is called "the collar bone" but it's not exactly right on the collar bone. So find that indentation right on your chest and then move over and down, ever so slightly, on either side. And I like to use the flat of my fingers and just get the area, and that insures that you are getting the proper point. And again, you are going to tap about five to seven points..."this problem." The next spot is called "under arm" and it's about four inches below your armpit, right in the center under your arm. And for women, it's going to be right about where your bra strap is. And again, I like to overdo it, so I tend to use all three or four fingers and just tap..."this problem."
The next spot is your "liver point." Sometimes known as "under breast." And, it's right...or, let's see...I'm going to let you try this and kind of figure out what you want to say with it. Sometimes it is also referred to as "under nipple." But some people get freaked out by that. But your liver point is right on where your ribs are...."this problem." The next point that I use are the wrists. And it's generally under your wrists on both sides. And tap them together..."this problem." And then we end with the top of head which is...if you were to put your thumbs on your ears and just connect on the top of your head where that meets..."this problem." And that is a basic round of EFT. There are all kinds of things that you can do to complicate it, but that's enough to get you going.
