EFT?
EFT is a simple, rapid and remarkably effective approach to healing
emotional disorders that is based on a synthesis of Chinese
accupressure and Applied Kinesiology.
While it may be difficult to believe, very often quite severe emotional
upsets, or any form of disorder that has an emotional component,
can be relieved in less than half an hour--sometimes literally in
minutes-- using this simple method. This applies equally to recent
upsets as well as to longstanding problems (phobias, compulsions
and obsessions, negative self-beliefs etc).
EFT has a success rate of about 50% with beginners and 95% with
practiced users. While more complex cases should be referred to
licensed practitioners, the basic EFT technique is easily learnt by
anyone and can be immediately applied to relieving one's upsets.
This presentation attempts to teach you just how to do that.
“The cause of every emotional or
AMT
physical upset is a disruption in the

body’s energy system.”
work?
EFT is based on the premise that the body’s energy system is linked to
energy circuits, or meridians, that run throughout the body. The state of
these meridians is directly affected by your emotional and physical health.
By analogy, think of the meridians as rivers. Upsets in emotional or physical
health lead to the equivalent of blockages or overflows in the rivers.
By setting right the meridians-- i.e. restoring the body’s energy status--, the
emotional/physical disorder is righted, thus paving the way for natural
growth.
How is this done? By tapping with the fingers on certain accupressure points
on the face, torso and hand, while “tuning in” to the problem in your mind.
Through these points we can access important meridians of the body and by
tapping on them, excess negative emotional energy is released.
A problem may have different aspects attached to it that surface in the
course of treatment. In such cases, it is important to persist in rooting out all
these aspects--much like peeling back the layers of an onion--and tap on
them until the issue is completely resolved.
Both EFT and TFT are highly effective--
AMT
the differences between them are
he roots of
T
simply a matter of personal preference.
EFT In the late 1970s, psychologist Dr Roger Callahan combined
elements of quantum theory, kinesiology and accupressure to begin
healing patients with phobias and traumatic stress disorders. He
used a system of different combinations of tapping points for
different issues. This highly effective therapy was termed Thought
Field Therapy (TFT).
Gary Craig, a Stanford engineer who studied with Dr Callahan,
extended the concept by devising a set of all-purpose tapping points
which was found to be easier to learn and remember. He called his
system Emotional Freedom Techniques, or EFT. Since it’s inception,
EFT has found favour with more and more practitioners of the healing
professions--more and more licensed healers now use EFT as part of
their repertoire. However, the basic technique has been made freely
available to all--the same technique you will learn in this
presentation.

• Relief of pain, e.g. migraine,
arthritis etc
A simple sequence that can be used to
AMT
address any number of issues.
The Process
The Basic Recipe is the standard, basic procedure that is employed
to treat any emotional/physical disturbance. Once learnt, each round
of the Basic Recipe should take under a minute or two to perform.
The Basic Recipe comprises:
• The Set Up.
• The Sequence.
• The 9 Gamut Procedure.
• The Sequence (again).
• Adjustments for subsequent rounds.
Let’s look at these in more detail.
• The Set Up: This sets the stage, so to speak, for EFT to do its work. In
this stage you will rub the accupressure point known as the Sore
Spot while saying your Set Up Phrase out loud three times. The Set
Up Phrase is as accurate a description of your issue as possible, in
the following format:
AMT
he Process
T
( continued )
“Even though I (insert problem here), I deeply and completely accept
myself”.
Examples of Set Up Phrases might be:
– “Even though my back aches…
– “Even though I tend to lose my cool at work…
– “Even though I have this pain in my jaw…
– “Even though I have a fear of heights…
...I deeply and completely accept myself.”
• The Sequence: While continuing to hold the problem in mind, you’ll
tap 7 times or so in succession on each of 13 points, 5 on the face, 2
on the torso, 5 on the hand and one on the back of the hand (the
Gamut Point). To assist you in keeping the problem in mind, you’ll
repeat at each point a shortened version of your Set Up Statement
called the Reminder Statement. Reminder Statements of the above
examples might be:
You can tap on either side of the body.
AMT
Use two fingers held together to tap.

T
( continued )
– “This backache”
– “This irritability at work”
– “This jaw pain”
– “This fear of heights”
The 9 Gamut: The Gamut Point is located on the back of the hand,
just behind and in between the knuckles of the ring and little finger.
While tapping continuously on this point, you will execute a series of
actions that-- while a little bizarre-looking!--engage your brain and
set your neurology to working on the problem.
The Sequence (again): The Sequence is repeated exactly as before.
This constitutes one round of the Basic Recipe.
If the problem is persistent, break it
AMT
down into as many aspects as suggest
he Process
T
themselves to you, and tap on those.
( continued )
In many cases, you may get complete relief of your distress from just
this single round! However, if the upset is still felt to some degree,
simply repeat the Basic Recipe, with adjustments as follows:
Adjustments for subsequent rounds: Substitute the Set Up Phrase
you used with this one: “Even though I still have some of this (insert
problem), I deeply and completely accept myself”.For example,
“Even though I still have some of this fear of heights, I deeply and
completely accept myself”.
And substitute the Reminder Phrase for this one: “This remaining
(insert problem) ”. For example: “This remaining fear of heights.”
Now we will go on to examine the actual Points that you will be
tapping on.
SUDs--Subjective Units of Distress.
AMT
he Process
T
( continued )
There’s one more concept to learn before proceeding to the actual
points.
Scaling the problem. At the beginning of an EFT session, take a
rating of the intensity of distress you feel on a subjective scale of 1 to
10. Thus a strong upset might produce a rating of 8 or 9, while a
relatively milder distress might be a 3. (This is also known as taking a
Subjective Units of Distress, or SUDS, rating).
At the end of a round of the Basic Recipe, scale the problem again.
Has it reduced? Your goal is to have it down to a 1 or a 0 which would
indicate complete freedom from the distress you started out with.
Having your distress drop from a 7 or 8 to a 0 in a couple of rounds
of EFT is an amazing experience--and one that happens more often
than you’d expect!
Each round of the Basic Recipe will take
AMT
just around a minute or two to perform.
Getting started
Now you’re ready to learn the Points to tap on. The following screens
will show you exactly how to perform the Basic Recipe. Advance
through the show a couple of times to get the idea (using the
navigation buttons to return to this screen) , and then try it out while
tapping yourself. It is best if you practice with a real problem, as EFT
is really experiential in nature and no amount of explanation can
take the place of actual doing.
Note: Once you learn EFT, you’ll be able to perform each round of the
Basic Recipe in just a minute or so.
If you’re working on an actual problem, remember to scale your
problem before you start, and to scale it again at the end of each
round!

valuable, lifelong asset for them.
Tips on using EFT
• Memorize the Basic Recipe. Customize it to your problem with an appropriate
Set Up Phrase and Reminder Phrase. Do as many rounds as it takes to clear
out the problem. If necessary be persistent--some issues may take longer.
• Try to be as specific as possible while naming the problem.
• Stubborn problems usually have different aspects attached to them. Break
down each problem into its aspects and clear them one by one.
• You may not have to treat each aspect! Often just attending to a few of them
leads to complete relief from the problem…like a few released logs will
suddenly clear a logjam.
• Relief is usually permanent but should the problem return…just tap on it
again!
• You can even tap for someone else (proxy tapping) e.g. small children …use
the format “Even though X (insert problem), s/he deeply and completely
accepts himself”. This one will really amaze you...!
• After some experience using EFT, experiment with using the process without
the 9 Gamut (just the Sequence).Many cases will respond well even to this
shortcut! You’ll sense when the 9 Gamut is necessary.
• Proxy tapping on animals is also possible and generally works well.
