E.F.T.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)is instantly available as the TOOL that was meant for eliminating emotional and psychological blocks and barriers. Using EFT is not about changing the external factors but about addressing and eliminating the internal causes; the psychological and emotional barriers.
EFT is an emotional, needle free version of acupuncture that is based on new discoveries regarding the connection between your body's subtle energies, your emotions, and your health. EFT has been reported successful in thousands of cases covering a huge range of emotional, health and performance issues. It often works where nothing else will.
The full Basic Recipe consists of four ingredients...two of which are identical. They are:
1. The Setup
2. The Sequence
3. The 9 Gamut Procedure
4. The Sequence

Ingredient #1...The Setup
The Basic Recipe has a beginning routine to "set up" your energy system (a set of subtle electric circuits). It is vital to the whole process and prepares the energy system so that the rest of The Basic Recipe can do its job.
There are two parts to the setup:
· You repeat an affirmation 3 times while you...
· Rub the "Sore Spot" or, alternatively, tap the "Karate Chop" point (Sore spot has been proven more effective)
The Affirmation
Even though I have this _____________, I deeply and completely accept myself.
The blank is filled in with a brief description of the problem you want to address.
Examples:
Even though I have this fear of public speaking, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this headache, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this anger towards my father, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this war memory, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this stiffness in my neck, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have these nightmares, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this craving for alcohol, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this fear of snakes, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I have this depression, I deeply and completely accept myself.

The Sore Spot
There are two Sore Spots and it doesn't matter which one you use. They are located in the upper left and right portions of the chest. If you press vigorously in that area you will find a "Sore Spot." This is the place you will need to rub while saying the affirmation.
This spot is sore when you rub it vigorously because lymphatic congestion occurs there. When you rub it, you are dispersing that congestion. Fortunately, after a few episodes the congestion is all dispersed and the soreness goes away. Then you can rub it with no discomfort whatsoever.
If you've had some kind of operation in that area of the chest or if there's any medical reason whatsoever why you shouldn't be probing around in that specific area then switch to the other side. Both sides are equally effective. In any case, if there is any doubt, consult your health practitioner before proceeding....or....tap the "Karate Chop" point instead.

The Karate Chop Point
The Karate Chop point (abbreviated KC) is located at the center of the fleshy part of the outside of your hand (either hand) between the top of the wrist and the base of the baby finger or....stated differently....the part of your hand you would use to deliver a karate chop.
Instead of rubbing it as you would the Sore Spot, you vigorously tap the Karate Chop point with the fingertips of the index finger and middle finger of the other hand. While you could use the Karate Chop point of either hand, it is usually most convenient to tap the Karate Chop point of the non-dominant hand with the two fingertips of the dominant hand. If you are right handed, for example, you would tap the Karate Chop point on the left hand with the fingertips of the right hand.
Now that you understand the parts to The Setup, performing it is easy. You create a word or short phrase to fill in the blank in the affirmation and then...simply repeat the affirmation, with emphasis, 3 times while continuously rubbing the Sore Spot or tapping the Karate Chop point.
That's it. After a few practice rounds, you should be able to perform The Setup in 8 seconds or so. Now, with The Setup properly performed, you are ready for the next ingredient in The Basic Recipe....The Sequence.

Ingredient #2...The Sequence
The Sequence is very simple in concept. It involves tapping on the end points of the major energy meridians in the body while repeating a reminder phrase.
The Points
The abbreviations for these points are summarized below in the order they are tapped.
EB = Beginning of the EyeBrow
SE = Side of the Eye
UE = Under the Eye
UN = Under the Nose
Ch = Chin
CB = Beginning of the CollarBone
UA = Under the Arm
BN = Below the Nipple
Th = Thumb
IF = Index Finger
MF = Middle Finger
BF = Baby Finger

BN = Below the Nipple
Th = Thumb
IF = Index Finger
MF = Middle Finger
BF = Baby Finger
The Reminder Phrase
Come up with a short phrase used to refer to the memory or problem, the more specific the better. We call this the "reminder" phrase because we will use it during the tapping process to stay focused on the memory or current problem. The way to create a reminder phrase for a memory is to give the memory a title, like the title of a movie.
Examples:
· My best friend moved away and I was alone (title of memory).
· I'm afraid of flying.
· I have a burning pain in my left shoulder.
· I'm craving ice cream.
· I'm furious at Jan for going behind my back.

Tapping tips:
· You can tap with either hand but it is usually more convenient to do so with your dominant hand (e.g. right hand if you are right handed).
· Tap with the fingertips of your index finger and middle finger. This covers a little larger area than just tapping with one fingertip and allows you to cover the tapping points more easily.
· Tap solidly but never so hard as to hurt or bruise yourself.
· Tap about 7 times on each of the tapping points. I say about 7 times because you will be repeating a "reminder phrase" (covered later) while tapping and it will be difficult to count at the same time. If you are a little over or a little under 7 (5 to 9, for example) that will be sufficient.
· Most of the tapping points exist on either side of the body. It doesn't matter which side you use nor does it matter if you switch sides during The Sequence. For example, you can tap under your right eye and, later in The Sequence, tap under your left arm.
· These tapping points proceed down the body. That is, each tapping point is below the one before it. That should make it a snap to memorize. A few trips through it and it should be yours forever.

Ingredient #3...The 9 Gamut Procedure
To do the 9 Gamut Procedure, you must first locate the Gamut point. It is on the back of either hand and is 1/2 inch behind the midpoint between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger.
To do the 9 Gamut Procedure, you must first locate the Gamut point. It is on the back of either hand and is 1/2 inch behind the midpoint between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger.
Next, you must perform 9 different actions while tapping the Gamut point continuously. The 9 Gamut actions are:
1. Eyes closed.
2. Eyes open.
3. Eyes hard down right while holding the head steady.
4. Eyes hard down left while holding the head steady.
5. Roll eyes in a circle as though your nose was at the center of a clock and you were trying to see all the numbers in order.
6. Same as #5 only reverse the direction in which you roll your eyes.
7. Hum 2 seconds of a song (suggest Happy Birthday).
8. Count rapidly from 1 to 5.
9. Hum 2 seconds of a song again.

Ingredient #4...The Sequence (again)
The fourth...and last...ingredient in The Basic Recipe was mentioned above. It is an identical trip through The Sequence.

Then Repeat
Subsequent Round Adjustments
Sometimes the problem will simply vanish after just one round while, at other times, one round provides only partial relief. When only partial relief is obtained, you will need to do one or more additional rounds. Those subsequent rounds need to be adjusted slightly for best results.
Since the subconscious mind tends to be very literal, the subsequent rounds of The Basic Recipe need to address the fact that you are working on the remaining problem. Accordingly, the affirmation contained within The Setup needs to be adjusted as does the Reminder Phrase.
Here's the adjusted format for The Setup affirmation:
Even though I still have some of this __________, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Examples:
Even though I still have some of this fear of public speaking, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this headache, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this anger towards my father, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this war memory, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this stiffness in my neck, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of these nightmares, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this craving for alcohol, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I still have some of this fear of snakes, I deeply and completely accept myself.
