The EFT Rant Technique

Andrew Wilkie — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:26:44 +0000

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.

Just How Many Emotions Can I Use EFT On?

Andrew Wilkie — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 11:03:02 +0000

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?

Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies

Andrew Wilkie — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 03:35:24 +0000

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 ?

EFT – 6 Reasons It Doesn’t Work and How to Avoid Them

Andrew Wilkie — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 09:08:23 +0000

Are you not having the success with EFT that you want and deserve?

I’ve tapped for day, weeks, hours on an issue and nothing; I mean nothing I said or did seemed to make any difference whatsoever.

That was until I discovered how to have continual success with EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique.

What is the secret?

1 Time Only Tapping Only

Beginners to EFT, think EFT is the magic, quick fix, a 2 minute solution to all their problems – large and small. Sometimes it is. Yet, quite often you’ll need to tap more then once to be completely free of your negative emotion.

Tap 5 rounds on and around what you are feeling. Notice the shift that happens.

Remember you can start your set-up phrase Even though I have this… then move onto Even though I have this remaining… or Even though I still … Say it as thought you mean it!

2.Not Being Specific Enough

Most of the time, you will be tapping far too generally. I feel this emotion i.e. unhappiness. If you can’t put what you are wanting or feeling in a shopping basket. You are not being specific enough with your tapping. – Describe what you are feeling out loud to clarify your thoughts. Grab a dictionary and thesaurus. Look for different words to describe your experience and emotion. Imagine you had to write a letter explaining what is going on.

3.Result Expectation

When you tap, do you secretly want a particular result or ending and it does not happen? EFT always works, just not always as you expect or want. Relax! There are may ways to get an outcome. After all it is the end result that you want. Not the way to get there.

4.Not Covering Your Basics

Basic EFT is very methodical and easy to follow for a reason – It works! If you miss out pieces how can you expect to get the result that you want? Follow the basic recipe. Learn what works for you, which are your power points. Then start fiddling.

5.Forgetting the Set-up Phrase

If you do not have what you want. You are blocking your own success. Stop! Yes, you are blocking it. Always do the set-up phrase to begin neutralising your own internal blocks to your success.

6.You Think EFT It Is Not Working

Before a round of tapping score your emotional intensity from 0-10. 0 begin no intensity or emotion, 10 – maximum, feeling it, big time!

Take your score again when you are finished. If there is no change in score, has the emotion changed in another way? Its shape, location, colour or feeling? ARe you really tapping on what you are feeling.

Even though I don’t think this EFT is working for me and I don’t know why…

Even though I’m afraid to admit it is working….

Even though I don’t want it to work because…

If nothing seems to really be working. Take some time out. Go do something else. The number of times you’ll hear a word or be inspired to do something is uncanny.

EFT always works!

Have you discovered why EFT sometimes doesn’t appear to work for you?

The Secret 6 Beliefs of EFT

Andrew Wilkie — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 06:07:27 +0000

Have you ever found yourself just going through the motions with EFT and not getting the results you deserve?

I’ve found that within the EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) community there seem to be several key, secret, assumed beliefs that will really help you develop your own skill with EFT and the results that you get personally and with anybody else that you introduce to EFT.

All you need to do is think about, answer these questions and think about these statements. You can say the answers out loud or just by thinking them over you’ll shift up a gear or 3.

What are these hidden questions and beliefs?

1.When you tap, what will help you explode your results without even trying?

As you tap, I find it often useful to ask myself, what is the one question I could ask which would allow this problem to disappear forever.

2.You are always more than you think you are.

This goes without saying. Yet, if you allow this belief to permeate all that you do. You will constantly keep growing, developing and getting more out of your EFT and life.

3. Everything has 2 sides.

Every problem, every decision, goal or in fact anything has 2 sides to it.
Having it, NOT having it. Just by adding the word NOT or leaving it out from your EFT statements and rounds of tapping can have a traumatic effect on your success with EFT.

4.How Can I Create My Own Powerful Positive Statements?

Just by thinking how can I create my own powerful positive statements, you’ll naturally head in that direction. By asking this question, you’ll begin to come up with your own positive powerful EFT statements

5.EFT Always Works.

How much of this is EFT, how much of this is belief? I don’t know. Yet, all I do know is that if you belief EFT always works. You’ll always get a result from it, even when you’re stuck.

6.The Simplest Way to Get Ahead in EFT.

This is really simple, yet often overlooked. USE IT! Use it on yourself. Use it on others. Use it for others. If you notice somebody you could do with some EFT. Pretend you are them. If you notice them having a challenge, you also have that challenge on some level.

Warning!

Holding onto these 6 ideas may just change you and your success with EFT in more ways than you can imagine. Are you ready to change your life?

What do you believe to be true about you about EFT?

Why is EFT So Successful?

Andrew Wilkie — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 10:08:24 +0000

I’ve been pondering recently why is EFT so successful. I’ve come up with the following EASY reasons:

EFT is easy to learn
It can be done by you and on your own.
It can be done, anywhere, any time and on anything.
No need to book time off work or explain to others your absence etc.
Change thanks to EFT can be both rapid and gradual.
With EFT, when you do it. You are taking responsibility for your own life. You are at cause and you create the effect. Everything you do has a reaction…might as well make it a good one.
When you release negative emotions with EFT, you are living the universal law of the vacuum.

Let’s go a little deeper…

I know of two theories of change and needs:

No matter which way you look at it…EFT can work at each and every level. Whatever you want to change, have or not have in your life EFT can help. You can change who you are, what you believe, what you can do, how you can do it, all of these then affect your external environment. You can also use EFT to tap on things in your environment that you like or dislike. This will then change all or any of the above levels.

With EFT you can use it to resolve and dissolve all of your problems. Improving your self esteem is bread and butter to EFT, yet the impact it can have on your life is huge. When you use EFT to love yourself and change your relationship with others, the effects are tremendous. Safety and Security (Fight or Flight is one of our basic needs). EFT you often work on the physical symptoms and everything changes.

Yes, these are levels. They are a frame work. They are not set in stone. Yet, since one simple technique can affect all levels of your being. I think that is a massive win-win for you and EFT.

I also think this is perhaps why change with EFT can come in the form of a Champagne moment or gradual. The emotional change that has just occurred for you is going to affect more than one level in a variety of ways…yet that is just speculation.

Why do you think EFT is so successful?

The Most Important Word You’re Not Using in EFT

Andrew Wilkie — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:39:42 +0000

Did you know that just adding one extra word to your EFT rounds can totally transform yourself and EFT?

If you want something or don’t want something, many people will tell you to say it the way you want it. That’s great except there’s one huge problem. You don’t think and feel like that.

When you want something and you haven’t got it. One of the hardest things to do, is say and feel it the way you want it.

Your brain and self talk just says…NO. Don’t talk such………..

Every problem, issue,challenge,goal has two sides to it. A positive and a negative if you will.

You Want/You Don’t Want. You Have/You Don’t Have.

So why not use this to your advantage?

Even though I have this X, I deeply and completely love,forgive and accept myself.

Even though I DON’T have this X, I deeply and completely love,forgive and accept myself.

Even though I have this anger, I deeply and completely love,forgive and accept myself.

Even though I DON’T have this anger, I deeply and completely love,forgive and accept myself.

Try it, you might like it.

So the one word that you need to add to your EFT phrasing is NO or NOT. By doing this you have all your emotional bases covered. You’ll find over time if you’re tapping on a particular issue. Your NOT tapping, will become less and less because your internal blocks are becoming less and less to what it is that which you want.

Are there any words or phases that you use, that just blow you away and transform your EFT into something magical?

What Is An Aspect in EFT?

Andrew Wilkie — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 22:13:46 +0000

In EFT, you’ll often hear people talk about and mention aspects, but

What is an aspect?

An aspect is simply a side or part of a problem.

Imagine a problem you have i.e. fear of success.

What makes up this fear?

e.g.

Your own beliefs about success and what is possible for you.
What you think others think is possible for you.
How your friends and family will react to you when you are successful.
Your past experience with success and failure.
What you think about successful people.
Fear of Failure.
Negative self talk.
Procrastination.

These are just a few very broad examples. Each could easily be further broken down much further i.e. Major Life areas, people, when etc.

You can always do general problem tapping, yet the more aspects you uncover and the more specific you are in your tapping, The quicker and longer lasting your results tend to be.

It is worth noting, that you don’t need to find every aspect to a problem. Each problem has one or two key legs.

Pull away the major legs and everything comes crumbling down.

What is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) ?

Andrew Wilkie — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:46:39 +0000

Well, I thought I’d give my answer to the very important question, What is EFT?

I, like you, probably, had heard about EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique many times before I began looking into it further and using it.

Using Emotional Freedom Technique was literally and still is life changing for me. They can be for you too!

EFT is one of the newest and most exciting things to happen in self help and personal development for a long time. It is being learnt by many, many different people as a quick and powerful alternative to other forms of self help, healing, change and getting what you want into your own life, quicker, faster and easier.

What is EFT?

EFT is a very quick and simple process to learn and do. EFT is also called Emotional Freedom Techniques, as it is a collection of techniques, although most EFTers only use one technique on a regular basis and just call it EFT.

EFT is a way of getting rid of and clearing your own negative thoughts, emotions, limiting decisions, bad habits and negative feeling blocks, so you can get what you want in own your life and fast. If you have something in your life that you don’t want, you can get rid of your own “stuff” and blocks to it. If you want something in your life and you don’t yet have it.

It is because on some level you don’t want it.

No matter what your reasons for not having what you want. There is always something in the middle of everything and every excuse or reason…YOU.

What Are The Benefits of EFT?

EFT can be done in a matter of minutes. It can be done on your own too.

The results of releasing negative emotions can be explosive and rapid. I love those Champagne Moments. They can also be cumulative, gentle and happen over time. One release of energy can affect you in many different ways. You might be tapping for a physical issue, i.e. headache and somehow by tapping your behaviour changes and the words you use change also.

How Do You Do EFT?

With your finger tips you tap 7-10 times on some of the key meridian or energy points around the body, whilst tuning into one of your own negative emotions, limiting decisions, bad habits or distressful feelings. By tapping on these key points you dissolve and release the negative emotions and painful feelings that you have been storing up in your body.

EFT is based on solid and historical principles. It is nothing airy fairy. We already think and use EFT ideas in our everyday language.

How often do you here the phrase tap into?

This is the very quick and simple version of what is EFT . A far more detailed How To Do EFT Guide will follow shortly.

Where and When Do You EFT?

You can do EFT anywhere and at anytime. There are no limits or rules to follow, just one simple technique. You don’t need to book an appointment to see a professional. You don’t need to sit down or take a huge chunk of time out of your day to do it.

Warning!

Once you try EFT on anything and everything, it can become highly addictive. All your excuses for not having what you want in your life are now gone. If you don’t change and don’t want to let go of what is holding you back, that is your decision and choice!

What Can You Expect Straight Away?

EFT’s results are fast and effective. You can use EFT on any negative feeling. You can also use it to help you achieve your goals faster and easier than every before. The big secret to EFT is to do it on anything and everything. It always works. If you apply it to many things, you’ll see the biggest results and return on your tapping.

I’m putting together other posts and How To Do EFT?

Wilkie and EFTMagic Videos are on the way. Lucky You and ME!
