S-L-O-W EFT

[Guest guest]

Hello All-

I'm new here, been tapping since April. Enjoy all the advice and progress

everyone gives here.

I was going through the emofree site reading Silvia Hartmann posts and came

across this one. I hadn't seen this technique before.

Thought it might be of help to us who sometime don't feel progess right away.

S-L-O-W EFT for self help on broad issues. Hi Everyone,

Silvia Hartmann-Kent introduces a useful idea for addressing those broad,

global issues that are usually loaded with numerous aspects.

Hugs,

S-L-O-W EFT!

This is an application of the basic EFT protocol I have designed especially

with self help in mind.

If you have used EFT on yourself, you'll probably know that sometimes it can

happen that an issue has so many different layers and aspects, you think you

have to tap forever.

This is particularly the case if the topic is a high level nominalisation,

such as " money " , " happiness " , " family " , a person's name or your own name, or an

illness you have had for a very long time - these kinds of words have so many

different meanings, connotations and memories attached to them that you could

easily generate a hundred opening statements or set ups and then some. When you

are working by yourself, it can be most difficult to know where to start

regarding a topic like that for the best effect, and I have even a suspicion

that the main components to such a problem have a habit of hiding themselves

from us.

Here is a simple way to use the basic EFT protocol with a single small

variation involving time to release a great many aspects, whether you are aware

of what they might be, or not.

Do the treatment for the psychological reversal on the sore spot or karate

chop point, just saying the word or phrase you have chosen loudly and clearly,

three times. There is no need to say anything else although you can always add,

" I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself " if you wish to do so.

Then, start with the first treatment point, the eyebrow point, and tap it

whilst you repeat the word or phrase out loud.

Stay on the point whilst you are thinking of things connected to the word or

phrase; some people have memory flashes, some have just thoughts, others see

pictures or just have physical sensations, it matters not. Keep tapping

throughout, on that one point, and if any emotions appear, keep tapping that

same point until they have gone. When the point feels as though it has been

cleared, say the word again.

Often, more thoughts arise. If they do, stay on that point until they have all

gone. Repeat until you have thoroughly " cleared " that part of your energy

system, take a break, drink some water, and then go on to the next point,

starting once again with the PR treatment, then go on to the corner of the eye

point and repeat; do all the points used in EFT in that way, one at a time.

Depending on the word or phrase you are using, this might take a while and you

might want to leave some of the points for the next treatment session with

yourself.

We have tried this technique and have found it to be very helpful with long

standing problems that have too many different aspects to even start, or

problems you might have worked on for a long time and still you keep finding

more and more aspects.

As a further support to really clear the issues around such a presenting

problem, repeat the technique once a week for a month because sometimes, when

shifts have taken place, whole new areas become apparent, much like an

earthquake sometimes reveals ancient ruins you couldn't know were there before.

On repeat treatments, many of the points remain clear and you get many fewer

aspects emerging.

Should you come across a " heavy " memory or something you feel is of special

importance in conjunction with your problem, you can make a note of it and treat

it separately at another time with the full EFT protocol as well.
