In EFT there are two techniques which you may find very useful the Movie Technique and The Tell The Story Technique.  Whilst these are great and have their place. They are sometimes too stop and start ‘ish’ for me.

Often when you’re having a bad day. You just can’t or don’t want to stop and beginning and another technique. You’re into your emotional, verbal blast.

Maybe you’ve only just got out of bed and you’re off. Mentally you’re already off and arguing in your head with the world and his wife.  One such morning recently, I was having one of these verbal tirade, directed at myself and anything and everything else. As ever I just started tapping. It is such an inbuilt thing for me to do now.

I certainly didn’t sit there and start tapping on the karate chop point!

Even though…

I was just tapping on my collar bone point and letting it all come out. Every know and then I would tap on my karate chop point, yet I’m move back to  my collar bone point.  I was talking away to myself, as memories would come up, I’d go off on a tangent. I guess I was having something of an emotional brain dump and tapping at the same time. After I’d repeated several things and gone over many memories, boy did I feel better.

I’ve started to call this the EFT Rant Technique.  It is literally:

1. Start either out loud or in your head, your verbal tirade.
2. Tap on a point or points that you are drawn too on your body.
3. Keep going, don’t censor yourself, is something comes up. Go with it.

It is literally that simple.

I think I kept going for about 20 minutes. After a while, I noticed I was repeating myself, my arguments and discussions.  Then as I went on, there was lots of gaps between my ideas and memories, yet I kept on tapping. After 30 minutes. I felt much, much better and thought, yep I’m done.

I had got a lot off my chest and tapping on so many emotions, memories etc. All of which now are much less than when I started or are just not resurfacing in my life any more.

Try it, you might like it.  I’d love to hear about your experiences.

The simple answer is all of them.  The irony being, we don’t know what they are called or how to express them or even what all of them are or if they exist.

Yes, we use EFT mostly to resolve and dissolve our negative emotions. Yet there is nothing stopping you from tapping on your ‘good’ emotions to heighten and remember the experience.

The good and bad emotions are on your own sliding scale.  What is good for you may not be good for me.  Some people love stress because it is a great motivator. Yet in actually fact stress does eventually harm your body.  Whatever you call or label your emotion is brilliant and just for you.

In recent posts I’ve talk about the Personal Peace Procedure (PPP) and why I think EFT is so successful.  There is nothing to stop you from taking the emotions I’m about to detail and doing a (PPP) on all of them. How amazing would that be? – In fact do I hear the word challenge!

For me there are 4 Primary negative emotions -Anger, Fear, Sadness and Guilt.  All other negative emotions feed into one or more of these 4.  There is no right or wrong way to say how they fall into each category. I just think they do.

So Why Not Just Tap On The Primary 4 Emotions?

That is not what you feel.  I remember feeling ugh, I was having a bad day. Only through tapping did I realise I was feeling frustration.  Yet, for me anger is the “keeper” of frustration.  Yet, I wasn’t feeling angry, I was feeling frustrated.

As you can see there are many negative emotions that you could tap away with EFT. Whether you do or don’t is entirely up to you.  You now have a choice to make.

You could take one a day and ask yourself the following questions.  What in my life makes me Impatient? What in my life or who in my life to I blame? What am I blamed for?

Can you begin to imagine how much who will have changed in less than 60 days?

In my recent post, The Top 7 Best-Selling EFT Books on Amazon . I was surprised at the time of writing that one book wasn’t there. Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies . Many people seem to be searching for it on Google and it is the only book on EFT in my local library. I hear a new campaign coming on!

So : Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies by Helena Fone (4.5 out of 5 stars)

My biggest gripe about the book would be the use of the word Dummies. Yes, I know it is very good marketing and congratulations to Helena for getting the commission. But, I’ll tell you. You, dear reader ain’t no Dummy!

Even though I have this issue with the word dummy ….

Even though I don’t like being called a dummy… (they’re for me)

The title aside. This book I think is pretty good. As with all dummy type books. The topic area is easily and well explained with clear and sometimes humorous illustrations.

This books is certainly much easier going that Gary Craig’s manual. Yet, Gary’s manual is a manual and not necessarily meant as an easy to read book.  Two different books for two different audiences I feel.  If you’re from the US, you may not like the Dummies book, since it is writing using UK English and phrases not US English.

The best advice I can give is this: This is an introduction to EFT and how EFT tapping can be applied to many different areas and challenges. If you’re coming or new to EFT it is a great start. If you are wanting a particular result and are using EFT tapping as your tool or technique of choice. There probably is a book, CD,DVD etc. that is more tailored to your specific needs.

Have you read it? What did you think of Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies ?
