When I was a teenager I always wanted to be right and for everyone to know that I was right.
I would argue my point of view ‘seven ways till Sunday’ to prove that I was right and even if it didn’t start as an argument it frequently became one.
Now when I look back on it I see an anxious teenager desperate to be taken seriously. Back then, I put a lot of effort into what must have been very tiresome for everyone I was attempting to prove ‘wrong’.

Today, we will take a look at the familiar EFT Setup Phrases, “I deeply and completely accept myself,” and “I love and accept myself” with a new perspective. As many of you may know, EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) was originally taught by Gary Craig. Prior to that, TFT (Thought Field Therapy) was taught by Roger Callahan (from which Gary adapted his own EFT method). During both these trainings, these experts instructed us to tap on an issue in this manner: Before we started tapping on the issue we would first tap on the Karate Chop Spot or rub the Sore Spot on the chest and simultaneously say aloud, “Even though I have this (here we would insert our own issue), I deeply and completely accept myself, or I love and accept myself.” |

While this can be a powerful affirmation for some, unfortunately, it has proven not to be suitable for all people, or all occasions. EFT expert Gene Monterastelli has some inspiring comments on this issue, as you can hear above. |

Tapping Into Our Shadow – by Andy Hunt

Most people get into EFT/Tapping as a way of tackling the problems or difficulties in their lives. They use the process as a remedial tool to overcome emotional challenges.
That's a great idea, and it’s why I started to use EFT on a regular basis. In the early years I had a lot of stuff to work with, no shortage of tap-able issues.
Method of Marketing Your Practice Gets Surprising Results – By Margaret Lynch
In my first article for this newsletter, I introduced a different way to market your meridian tapping practice by using the concept of Success Coaching click here for article. In it I gave an example of marketing yourself as a "Success Coach" at what is called a "BNI" meeting.

Tapping on Being Able to Say “No” – by Gene Monterastelli
Sometimes the hardest word to say is "no". We want to be helpful. We want to give. We don't want to be selfish. We want to be asked again in the future. There are so many reasons to say "yes". What are the reasons to say "no"?
How Tapping Can Affect Medical Implants

I have found that there are two ways we can improve the effectiveness of a medical implant, whether it be a lens implant in cataract surgery, the replacement of a limb, a pace maker, or any other form of surgical implant — by using Meridian Tapping.
One is by working with the implant directly, the other is by working with the energy created by the implant.
When Using Tapping Do We Need to Heal the Past to Move Into the Future?
By Pamela Bruner
A question that I often receive from my Meridian Tapping clients is 'Do I need to go back into the past in order to move forward?' Then they go on to say, often, that they don't want to look at the past, they just want to move ahead.
As a coach, I have a great deal of sympathy for this position. Coaching, as opposed to therapy, is supposed to deal with the present and the future, and not with the past. But the answer to the question 'Do I need to deal with the past?' is more complex than that.

Tap Along Phrases for Sadness – by Gene Monterastelli

Teaching Kids to Tap (Article)
By Ann Adams
Kinney is tall for 13. He has light brown hair and a pair of sad eyes that competed for the saddest I've ever seen. He expressed immediate interest: "Can you teach me?"
"Sure."
"Harvey," a slender, African American nine year old in perpetual motion, was in line behind him: I want to know too.
"OK."

Handling Your Reactions to the Distress of Others – by Rick Wilkes
When others are in distress, we want to help, to be caring, to be present. Yet, other people's troubles often trigger our own issues. If we are empathetic and sensitive, we can even find ourselves feeling another person's emotional pain very intensely. So how do we protect ourselves from being adversely affected by their distress, and much less helpful because of this?
The Evolution of EFT from TFT – By Gary Craig
|
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is an offshoot of TFT (Thought Field Therapy), a meridian based energy psychology technique developed by Dr. Roger Callahan in the 1980’s. Both methods employ light tapping of the meridian end points accompanied by special verbalizations. EFT differs from TFT in many respects. To distinguish between these two methods we suggest you read the definitive discussion on this subject by Gary Craig, founder of EFT (see below). |
By Gary Craig, Founder of EFT
Since bringing out EFT, I have been questioned often about how its comprehensive algorithm can be as good as (actually better than) the series of individual algorithms that make up TFT. How can this be? Do we, for example, just ignore Dr. Callahan's adamant statements about the individual algorithms and their theoretical validity? Do we also just ignore the much heralded presumption that the "order" of tapping the points is critical to success? Further, how can we turn our nose up at the presumed importance of muscle testing diagnosis and expect to get adequate results?
