  BASIC EFT PROCEDURE

  STEP # 1: IDENTIFY THE ISSUE – NEGATIVE EMOTION

  a) Help identify the Problem by filling in the Blanks:

  I am feeling ____________________________________________________________________

  at/or about ____________________________________________________________________

  because _______________________________________________________________________

  That makes me feel like I’m ________________________________________________________

  because (or that reminds me of) ____________________________________________________

  b) Determine your level of emotional intensity:

  Where are you on a scale of stress? -- from ‘0’: it is no longer a problem to  ‘10’ : it is very                                            upsetting.

  STEP # 2:  SET-UP AFFIRMATION

  a) State the Problem: “Even though I … (state the problem or emotion)…
   NOTE: For best results, be as specific and detailed as possible.

  b) Make Acceptance Statement: “I love and accept myself anyway and choose to be calm and                                   confident.”

  This is an example only.  Use own words, as long as they are a statement of accepting yourself,                                  even with the problem.

c) Tap continuously on the side of your hand (karate chop) while repeating the above two                                     statements three times.

  STEP # 3:  TAPPING SEQUENCE

  Tap about 7 to 10 times on the acupressure points listed below, stating a short reminder                                 phrase at each point to keep you focused on the problem.  Usually, a one or two word                                           summary of the set-up statement makes a good reminder phrase.

     


















  STEP # 4: IDENTIFY and REPEAT

  a) Take a deep breath and recheck your level of emotional intensity about issue.

  b) Repeat tapping sequence if any emotion remains or if other issues come to mind.  Could use                              the words: “Even though I STILL have SOME of this __________, I deeply love and                                                       accept myself”.

    Reminder phrase could be: “Remaining _________.”
