Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to EFT but excited about it.

I have two questions:

1. Excessive facial hair: would anyone mind sharing some phrases that have helped them with this issue? I realize there can be numerous reasons for this and I'm trying my best to find both the emotional and potentially underlying issues but it is getting discouraging and exhausting. I was even thinking of spending $800 on a home laser kit since I've spent over $2000 already on going to "laser centers" which only made the situation worse. Since $800 is a big amount for me right now (and pretty much all of my meger savings) I instead opted to dedicate 800 mins (if it needed it) of EFT work instead to turning this situation around. So far it's been hard since the daily reality of having so much facial hair and the ingrown hairs/scars resulting from it is very emotionally draining. Even though I'm using the Choices technique I inevitably end up in tears over it all. So any succesful scripts to try out would be very helpful.

 2. Hair texture: This may seem like an odd question but can EFT alter one's genetics to the point of changing things like hair texture? I have to use harsh chemicals to deal with the very curly nature of my hair (which I think is beautiful just very difficult to manage) and I would love to have a truly natural and holistic option. I'm not looking to have bone-straight hair but wavy hair vs. tightly curled hair would be wonderful. Is this even possible?

Thank you for your time and input!

Cheers!

Strange as it may seem, in my client experience, this seems connected to events in childhood of rejection.  Could that be the case with you as well?  If so, maybe that is one avenue for tapping.

My feeling is that you will have all you need to find tapping phrases if you take the emotions and thoughts that arise as you tap with the Choices technique.  I have had profound breakthroughs with issues by creating a Choices statement reflecting both how I am feeling in the moment and what I want to choose, and then listening to all the thoughts and emotions that come up as I tap on the statement - all the "yeah but.." and reasons why I can't make that choice.  If I take each one of the objections and emotions that arise from the statement and turn them each into a standard EFT tapping phrase, I usually find that I can move mountains.

I'd also suggest you sitting down and write as following, and take all the sentences you right into tapping statements and see what comes up as a result of it:

* Write down your opinion of your "excessive facial hair."

* Write down all your feelings and thoughts about the excessive facial hair - all your concerns, fears, judgments, beliefs

After tapping through all that arises with the above:

* Sit down and vividly imagine yourself several years from now, completely free of excessive facial hair.  Really made it as vivid as you can.  Anything that stands in your way of being able to see it clearly is another belief/thought/or emotion to tap on.

Generally the Choices technique works best once we've got the highly charged beliefs and emotions down a lot, then we can come in with the positive.  If we rush to the positive without clearing the difficult emotions first, exactly what is happening for you can happen.  It can help if we remember that no matter what our body is doing, it is doing it for what it thinks is a positive reason. When we simply tap with a Choices statement to change something without taking time to hear why our body is doing what it is, it can be counterproductive.

In addition to the suggestions above, I'd also suggest exploring the theme:

* Is there anything that my body could be protecting me from with the excessive hair? (the theme of rejection suggested above could tie in to this)

If nothing immediately comes to mind, you could try tapping with it a bit:

ET I want to get rid of all the excessive facial hair, I open myself to the possibility that my body is trying to do something good for me, and I ask my body to talk to me and let me know what is going on.

Best wishes,

Jo

 Suzanne,

I'll look into that, thank you..*S*..

Jo,

Wow, those are great suggestions. Thank you for breaking it down for me and giving me an easy to understand plan. I will follow your suggestions, plus Suzanne's, and let you both know how things go :)
