EFT Basic Recipe: Please Note: This is only a brief and limited introduction to EFT. It should not be considered a substitute for training or therapy provided by a professional. I encourage you to take advantage of any live opportunity to learn and experience these techniques.

This is the Basic Recipe of EFT. To experience the more advanced version of EFT that I use with clients, check out the eTappings.
Here’s a smaller version you can print out and carry with you:
Your Reminder Phrase will be “Even though I am resistant to change..”.
Rate your discomfort on a scale of 0-10 so that you can monitor your progress.
Example:
Think of some issue that is troubling you
and give it a simple name (fear of public speaking,
headache, anger at Bob, stiff neck, inability to take
action, etc.) – this will be your Reminder Phrase.
Rate your discomfort on a scale of 0-10 so that you
can monitor your progress with each issue.
1. The Setup: While continuously tapping the Karate Chop point, repeat this affirmation three times: “Even though I have this ____ (fear, pain, issue with Bob, etc.), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
2. The Sequence: Tap between 5 and 10 times on each of the following energy points while repeating the Reminder Phrase at each point:
Crown: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Eyebrow: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Side of eye: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Under eye: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Under nose: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Chin: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Collarbone: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Under arm: “Even though I have (this issue), I deeply and completely accept myself.”
3. Take a deep cleansing breath.

Now, check in with your body, and see if there is any remaining discomfort–then rate that again on a scale of 0-10. Repeat this process until significant relief is gained – preferably bringing the discomfort down to a zero. It is very likely that you may feel clear about the specific issue you were focusing on, but it may have brought up another issue. In subsequent rounds the Setup affirmation and the Reminder Phrase are adjusted to new wording, if appropriate, or to reflect that you are addressing the remaining problem: “Even tough I still have this ______ (issue).”
Suggestions: Tapping is generally done with two fingers. You can tap on either side of the body, with either hand. For the collar bone point, find the place where your collar bones almost meet at the top of your chest and tap that area with a fist.
Repeat this process until significant relief is gained – preferably bringing the discomfort down to a zero. In subsequent rounds The Setup affirmation and the Reminder Phrase are adjusted to reflect that you are addressing the remaining problem: “Even though I still have this______.” You may also find that you want to slightly change the wording, which is fine. This is a only a guide – go with your instincts.
Should any uncomfortable feelings or memories come up, keep tapping through them – the discomfort should subside. You may also want to consider consulting a professional to do deeper work.
Using this eTapping can greatly enhance your quality of life – especially with repeated use. This may also open you to find just how much better your life can be through more advanced work. To get the most from EFT, please attend a live training or, even better, contact a trained professional.
