I have tried EFT to improve my bowling with inconsistent results.  I have tapped for consistency, for afraid to get strikes, to pick up spares, to not allow the distractions to affect my performance, for focus and concentration, for fun, to overcome the writing on my walls about bowling better than men, and I am at a loss as to where to go from here.  My daughter has even used surrogate tapping to assist me with inconsistent results.  Today, I bowled a 123, 181, and 109.  My average is 140.  If anyone has any further suggestions, they would be most appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi Kathryn,

I don't no why, but this line jumped out at me as something to possibly keep investigating.

Maybe ask yourself some questions like;

- If I excelled at bowling, who might be miffed at me or even upset?

- Are there any sibling situations or specific events that this remind me of i.e. being better than another or not being better to hold a family position or expectation?

- Possible father 'stuff' i.e. a successful dad that we can't outdo. Or maybe a brother? Maybe your mother, sister, cousin, friend?

- What would happen in my family/social life if I did excel at this?

- Would someone be jealous, envious, hurt etc?

Some food for thought. Karen :)

Here's a couple of great Carol Look interviews that may help to trigger something:

I have tried it, EFT on bowling performance. It worked excellent. i trowed 7 strikes in 1 game. everyone said: wow how do you do that? haha .

 but where is the social border? I mean, it is just a game.
What do you all think about that? Have you ever got those questions?

You can tap before bowling, literally.  This can be done by rubbing the finger points and saying your statements in your head.  So each time, literally just before you bowl, you can tap (or more appropriately, rub).  This captures all the emotions you are undergoing without you having to know what they are.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your contributions to this thread.  Several months back we had a similar discussion about using EFT for improving bowling scores.  There are a number of great suggestions there.  You can see that conversation at http://eftcommunity.emofree.com/forums/t/3709.aspx  

Hope this is helpful.

With much love,

Paul
