From once being a little-known energy technique used among the 'woo-hoo, purple caftan' set, EFT tapping is now gaining momentum, riding the wave of effectiveness and simplicity.
From helping the victims of Hurricane Katrina to being featured on talk-shows and prime-time specials, tapping is accessible and available to anyone.
Five key things that make EFT Tapping so powerful
- There is no wrong way to do it - once you've mastered the tapping points (an investment of five minutes of your time) you can tap one or all of them in any order, at any time, in any situation, good or bad.
- You can say or feel whatever you like.
- EFT Tapping can be used with your stream of consciousness.
Unleash the angry, negative, critical voice in your head - say it out loud, tapping along the way.
- Even if you don't have the words for what you're feeling, just tap anyway and say "this feeling".
- If even THAT doesn't appeal to you, there is an amazing amount of free resources online that will give you the script - actual words to help articulate the many common stress and difficulties that come with being human.
- Do as little or as much as you like.
Spend time everyday, do it only when things are really stressful, or whenever it occurs to you.
There is no schedule.
You cannot do too much or too little.
There are no deadlines or overdoing it. - Use it to reinforce the good as well as deal with the bad.
Tired of feeling bad? Want to focus on some affirmations or make a good period last longer? Tap! It's not all about the bad stuff.
Tap when you're feeling great and you're body will remember.
Tap when you're articulating a goal and it will come into laser focus.
Enjoy the good times too! - Everyone is different.
When learning about tapping, you'll see how much the methodology has evolved and how many ways it is explained.
Find a way that works for you, a teacher that rings your bell.
The basics remain - tap, feel and talk.
