EFT Demo - Feeling Bad (Transcript) |
| One of the great things about EFT is that it's a technique that you can learn and use for yourself any time you're feeling bad. Whether you're feeling anxious, or frustrated, angry or just sad this is a technique that you can use to clear that emotion. |
| The first thing to do is to be aware of the emotion. Let's say it's anxiety. You could ask yourself, "how do I know I'm feeling anxious?" and my guess is that what you'll find is that there is a feeling somewhere in your body that you associate with anxiety. So when we're going through the tapping this time and I'm saying "this feeling" what we're referring to is the feeling in your body - the anxious feeling in your body. |
| Before we start, it's always a good idea to get a baseline. So just focus on that feeling now - that feeling in your body, that anxious feeling. On a scale of 0-10, where 0 is that feeling isn't there at all and 10 is the most intense it could be, how intense is that feeling right now? Have you got your number? OK. Now we're gong to start. |
| So we start tapping on the karate chop point here (the side of one hand). You can change hands at any time, just make sure you're comfortable. And just repeat after me what I say. (As you are reading this, just say the words below as you tap.) |

Even though I'm feeling like this I deeply and completely love and accept myself Even though I'm feeling like this I deeply and completely love and accept myself Even though I'm feeling like this I deeply and completely love and accept myself and all my feelings (Now move to the top of your head and tap there) Feeling like this (Tap between your eyes) Feeling like this (Tap at the corners of your eyes) Feeling like this (Tap under your eyes) Feeling like this (Tap under your nose) Allowing it to go now (Tap on your chin) Releasing it now (Tap on your collar bones) Allowing it to go now (Tap under one arm) Releasing it now (Tap under the other arm) Allowing it to go |
| Big breath in and out. And now just check on that feeling and on a scale of 0-10 where 0 is that feeling isn't there and 10 is the most intense it could be, how intense is the feeling now? Hopefully what you've found is that the number has come down. Sometimes when people do it the feeling just goes, completely goes. If your number's only come down a little bit, just repeat the exercise, as many times as you need to until the feeling's gone. |
