Emotional Freedom Techniques
Emotional Freedom - Physical Freedom - Performance Freedom

in Search
EFT was originally developed to reduce the therapy process from months/years down to minutes/hours. As emotional problems faded, both physical health and personal performance improved (often dramatically). As a result, EFT is spreading quickly among the healing community. It is an emotional version of acupressure wherein certain meridian release points are gently stimulated by tapping on them with the fingertips.

    Where to live - House or a Flat

    All,

    It is Friday so I thought I'd post this, something lighter or not.

    I'm wanting to move house.

    I'm pretty much certain (location) as to where I want to move to. Although note element of doubt in my language.  Even deciding where I want to live has taken me time. At least I know where I didn't want to live.

    One, (presupposes more - urgh) conflict I have is house or flat? Certainly for this move.

    I affectionly talk about my flat as the 'Towers'. I even know how I want it to look, what is in it, layout etc.

    Yet, when speaking about moving and living somewhere else. I'll often use the word house, as if I'm meant to move into a house and not a flat.  To me a house and a flat are very different. What is not, is that either or both will be my HOME.


    Ideas?

    Thanks

    A

    OK, so I'll reply to myself in the first instance. I had an aha moment sat in the sunshine. It isn't the house or flat that I want. It is the HOME. All the words were there, just in the wrong order.  Not an EFT, Champagne moment, yet all good.

     

    I thank you.

    Hi Andrew,

    I guess most people didn't answer because if given a choice, they would go for the house rather than a flat.  You are certainly very lucky to have that choice, and that's probably worth some gratitude tapping :-)

    HI A (Andrew),

    I am completely new to this forum, but your post caught my eye because my husband Lennart and I have just moved to the home of our choice (a flat) after 22 years in the same house we built in 1986. We designed it and raised our family there (at least part of the family, two grown up children had left home).

    It was a wonderful period in our lives. However we started a process for about a year ago, that we wanted to move and do something else. After all we had been gardening, re-decorating and generally fixing things for 22 years. Although we travelled during these years, we were always tied down to our "stuff".  After many considerations, like moving to another house, (smaller, less to do!), living in Spain during the winter months (another property to fix!) we came up with the fact that what we really wanted was FREEDOM to do whatever we wanted, when we wanted.

    So now, since a month back, we are living in the flat of our dreams, we can just take a short walk to town, have a seaview, the countryside a stones throw from us and most important of all (to us) just be able to shut the door and travel anywhere we want to, without the hassel of having to fix everything before we leave.

    The most interesting part is the fact that we both really wanted this but did´nt know how to go about it before I started using EFT. We kept nagging at each other over things not done. With EFT it was easier to cut down the forest consisting of our resistance and old unuseful conceptions that stopped us from feeling free.

    I mostly do surrogate EFT for my husband, but it works very well and things have changed such a lot for us both, but that´s another story.

    So, go ahead and move to that home you really want!

    All the best

    Coralie

    Corlie,

    Thanks for the advice. 

    I’d be really interested to know what you actually tapped on, i.e. phrases, if you can remember.

    Since my last post, I’ve had some small cumulative Champagne moments with EFT.  All around the phrasing. I can’t handle X and variants thereof.  Friday afternoon was sheer bliss once I’d worked that out.  They were more on the emotional and financial pressure that I was and have been feeling.  Real aha moments.  Yet, there were no real specifics to my phrases, yet the relief was wonderful.

    Friday, not one, but two! flats became available in the block that I want to live in.  Result. That put me into ecstasy.  Also I won some money too.

    Yesterday, Saturday threw me.  I got ‘hit’ (interesting choice of words) with a “late” tax bill, despite having an accountant.  Monday should be an interesting conversation to have.  Also the money I won on Friday, I had to pay out and more on Saturday to somebody else.  Although that which I had won, made it easier to pay out the amount.

    Getting the money and two potential flats was fabulous, but the potential of having to give away more money away than I received has really spun me out.

    Yes, I understand there is this own vibrational whiplash thing -  http://bit.ly/2nxEk .But, geez. I thought I had that covered.  Or this would not happen to me like this, it never seems to have done in the past. This has really made me doubt things.  For the first time ever, I, despite all my great success with myself and others I have led through EFT, doubt EFT and what if I win larger sums of money? 

    I’m attempting to rationalize things i.e. the tax bill was sent before I cleared my emotional blocks. Me, I and the Universe have to ‘catch up’ with my new vibrational alignment.  Yet, that just isn’t ringing true right now with me.

    Nevertheless, booking up two viewings on Monday to see the flats.

    Hi Andrew,

    Sorry to have delayed in answering.

    How are things going for you with EFT?

    You asked me if I had any set up phrases, I started off with a general tapping because I could´nt think how I should phrase this round of EFT,

    something like "Even though I am uncertain about......

    The I started to think about all the moves my family did when I was a child, so I got more specific about these, as our moving was not a pleasant experience, it was an upheaval."Even though I hated moving as a child, I completely and utterly accept reallocation now"

     Then new things kept popping up like "what would it be like to enjoy a happy and successful move.........

    I can keep a positve attitude......           I will enjoy this experience...........

    I try to use both positive and negative things to tap on, it works both ways for me, but we are all individuals, so it may not work the same for you.

    Just see what pops up while you are tapping.  There are so many aspects to everything.

    All the best

     Coralie,

     

    Thanks for replying. I've just returned from Italy so just catching up. So many EFT phrase insights whilst out and about too. Uncertainty is huge for so many people.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    What I will say to you is just food for thought ok?  Years ago there use to be a major hit song and in was the lyrics that at sum said this, a house is not a home till you have love in it.  I think it was song about marriage and divorce of when there is no love in the home, it then become a house.

    And to take a page from the Wizard of Oz, that he told Dorthy that she could go home any time we wanted too, all she had to do was wish harder, and may be we or any of us can change a house into a home when we work and put or allow love to come to it. That said, then know and feel that you can or may change any place you move to, make it a home to you.

    Food for Thoughts?

    Harry
