What is EFT? Similar to acupuncture but without the needles, EFT can be used to gain direct access to your divine essence. EFT is based on the premise that "The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system". (Disruptions in the body’s energy system give birth to our horses). Emotional Freedom Techniques dissipates the strong negative emotions that arise (allows the horses to rest). Two reasons to use EFT: Empower yourself to better tolerate strong emotions. Release cravings on the spot. The basic recipe used to perform Emotional Freedom Techniques: 1. Set up: To redirect the bio-electric energy flow in your body, that has been reversed. 2. The Sequence: Tapping on specific meridians (energy centers) to release emotional blocks within the body. 3. The Gamut: An additional energy healing technique used to release emotional blocks, further explained below. 4. Repeat Sequence Included in the Set Up: The Negative Talk as said by the Shadow Horse The Affirmation As said by the White Horse Always end the set up statement with a positive frame of mind Shadow horses can be cause negative thinking, which can be neutralized with a positive affirmation while tapping. The negative talk that we will be using during the setup can be thought of as a way to respectfully acknowledge your shadow horse’s irrational behavior / beliefs. While going through the setup, we want to reach the deepest part of negativity that your horse could ever throw at you, even exaggerate it. In this way we learn to embrace EVERY part of our being while releasing it. Set Up Samples Even though I overindulged in my meal tonight, I deeply and completely accept myself. Even though I went of my meal planning strategy, I chose to do better next time. Even though I am not releasing this excess body fat, I accept myself just as I am in this moment. The Setup Steps You directly acknowledge all negative aspects of the horse, followed by positive choices or affirmations from the rider, while tapping on the “karate Chop” point. Karate Chop Point AFTER the setup, we do the basic recipe as follows: The basic recipe involves tapping on the end points of the major energy meridians on the body. Tapping at these points is the method by which we develop a direct path to our internal guide. While tapping, we will continue addressing the horse’s displeasures from all angles, while the rider soothes the horse. After the horses are completely heard and put to rest with this process, we can then learn to receive the guidance from our internal guide. The Sequence The 9 Gamut Procedures The 9 Gamut procedures is, perhaps, the most bizarre looking process within EFT. Its purpose is to “fine tune” the brain and it does so via some eye movements and some humming and counting. Through connecting nerves, certain parts of the brain are stimulated when the eyes are moved. Likewise, the right side of the brain (the creative) is engaged when you hum a song and the left side (the digital side) is engaged when you count. The 9 Gamut Procedure is a 10 second process wherein 9 of these “brain stimulating” actions are performed while continuously tapping on one of the body’s energy points… the Gamut point. It has been found, after years of experience can add efficiency to EFT and hastens your progress towards emotional freedom, especially when sandwiched between 2 trips through The Sequence. With a little practice, the process becomes quite easy. One by one, we put all of our horses to rest, allowing us to live with complete emotional freedom. When we begin to develop emotional freedom, we are then free to explore the fascinating depths of life more fully.
