EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) in a Nutshell

The Apex Effect.

EFT works so well and so effectively that people sometimes even forget they had the problem. In EFT, we call this the Apex effect.

SUDs: Subjective Units of Distress.

On a scale from 0 to 10, how big a problem or issue is it? With 0 meaning no problem, 10 meaning the worst possible problem.

Start by Removing Some Common Psychological Reversals or Healing Blocks

While tapping the edge of the palm (karate spot), repeat three times. If you feel more is required, repeat three times with the sore spot. (You will probably feel some kind of shift or change, once you get in tune with your inner knowing.)

1._____ Even though I have this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

2._____ Even though I don’t want to let go of this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

3._____ Even though I may not deserve to get over this problem, and other people may not deserve for me to get over it, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

4._____ Even though I may want to keep all of this problem or some of this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

5._____ Even though it’s not possible to get over this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

6._____ Even though I may not do what I need to do to get over this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

7._____ Even though I have a vested interest in keeping all or part of this problem, I completely love and accept myself with all my faults and limitations.

These are general and common reversals. Even if they may not consciously register as a belief or fact with you, you may have some subconscious beliefs that require attention.
