Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a self-help tool developed by Gary Craig in the mid-1990s based on Thought Field Therapy. EFT involves tapping on acupuncture points while focusing on an issue to reduce its intensity. It can help with stress, pain, phobias, depression and other issues. EFT works through the body's energy system to release emotions and restore balance like rebooting a computer. The document provides instructions for doing EFT with examples and answers frequently asked questions.

Doing EFT is Like Rebooting Your ComputerWhen we stuff emotions we’re afraid to fully feel, our system can get out of balance.Our body is telling us that something we are feeling , thinking, or believing needs attention.It’s like the way a computer might crash, or get stuck.Tapping is like rebooting our energy system.EFT helps us get unstuck so we can feel centered and relaxed.

EFT Simplified1) While Focusing on a negative emotion or physical sensation, assess its intensity on a scale of 0-10.2) Set-up Phrase: Say 3 times, “Even though I have (problem), I deeply and completely love and accept myself,” while tapping on your Karate Chop point on side of hand. (see chart on next page)3) Tap through a Sequence starting with Eyebrow (EB), saying the Reminder Phrase (a phrase you create to help you stay focused on the issue) while tapping 7 times on each point.Eyebrow (EB): “This problem” (be specific)
- 8. Side of Eye (SE): “This problem”
- 9. Under Eye (UE): “This problem”
- 10. Under Nose (UN): “This problem”
- 11. Under Lip (UL): “This problem” (continued on next page)©JoAnn SkyWatcher

- 17. Example: EFT for a Headache1. Assess the Intensity Level of your headache.2. Tap on the karate chop point on the side of your hand saying, 3 times, “Even though I have this headache, I deeply & completely love & accept myself.”3. For each round: Tap at least 7 times on energy points while saying the reminder phrase – either repeat the same phrase or change it. • Inside of Eyebrow (IE) This headache • Side of Eye (SE)This fracking headache • Under Eye (UE) This headache is a drag • Under Nose (UN) I’m so tired of getting headaches • Under Lip (UL) This headache is driving me bonkers • Collarbone (CB) This headache • Under Arm (UA) My aching head • Liver Point (LP) This headache (continued on next page)©JoAnn SkyWatcher
- 18. EFT for a Headache (cont.)• Wrist Points (WP) It’s driving me crazy • Top of Head (TH) This headache Many times I do 2 or 3 rounds before stopping and re-checking the intensity level.4. Reassess the intensity of the headache. If it hasn’t come down as much as you want, write down the new number & repeat the process.©JoAnn SkyWatcher
- 19. A Few QuestionsWhy do you use more points than I’ve seen in some other places? The three points I talk about here weren’t included in the original EFT materials. The Liver Point under the breast is a powerful point that gets left out because of its location, and because it helps deal with anger. According to Lindsay Kenny, the Wrist Points are great for stress, anxiety, grief, heartache and sadness. The Top of the Head is a powerful contact point for every issue. I use these additional points because they add to the process and don’t take much more time.Which side of the body should I tap on? I recommend tapping on both sides whenever possible. It just seems to speed the process up. However, it’s OK to do just one side - it doesn’t really matter which. (cont.)©JoAnn SkyWatcher
- 20. More QuestionsWhat does each point do? Most of the practitioners I know don’t focus on the individual points. However, you can find some interesting info here: http://www.tapintoeft.com/eft-tapping-points/default.htmlII’m tapping but not getting results. Why?You may not be getting specific enough. For example, tapping for stress is too general. Tapping about the barking dog getting on my nerves is more specific.You aren’t getting to the core emotional issue. You need to go deeper.You aren’t putting enough energy into it. Sometimes shouting your setup phrases can help.©JoAnn SkyWatcher
- 21. More QuestionsAre the results permanent? If you released the core emotional issues, nothing else may come up. However, if something does, it just means there is more to tap on. Many times there are layers. Get to the bottom of it, and let it go for lasting results. How do I use EFT to help develop my intuition? When you tap, notice what comes up. Use all of your senses. Remember back as far as you can, when you first felt that particular emotion. Listen closely. Listen deep. Be grateful for your inner guidance and it will grow.©JoAnn SkyWatcher
