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

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?
