Emotional Freedom Techniques
Emotional Freedom - Physical Freedom - Performance Freedom
It often works where nothing else will
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.







What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

    Hi Paul,

    I was reading your reply and I was impressed by your 'no nonsense' approach to the use of EFT. Thank you. I tried to click the two links that you put in your post but I couldn't get to them. The error code said 'Page Not Found'.

    I would really like to check out those links. Would you please post them again?

    Blessings,

    Sil

    Re: What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

    Hi Alex,

    I think you may be limiting yourself. If you read the Secret and the Abraham-Hicks books they clearly state that your job is to ask, believe and receive. If you try to state the how, then you block your success. For example, you are wanting to increase your finances: By focusing only on winning the lottery you are limiting yourself to how the money will or can come to you. Does it matter if you get the money by the lottery or by some other means? If you open yourself up to the possibility that money has infinite ways to come to you, then you can open the flow of money energy to you. If you get in your own way and state the how, then you can also add your own disbelief into the mix. If you believe that the only way you can receive money is by winning it, then you are still dealing with a belief system that you are not deserving, probably a good point to tap on there.

    Hope that helps

    Alex,

    I was just browsing on the site and I read that you have lyme disease.  I have multiple sclerosis and last year I found out I also had lyme di dsease along with a bunch of other stuff including too much mercury in my system.  I went to a holistic doctor and he got rid of the lyme.  Have you had any treatment to get rid of it.  I had ms since 94, and never new I had lyme.  It helped me a little bit, but I'm still trying other things.  I used to be O.K. but now I can't even drive anymore.  I'm gona try emt and I read this awsome book by Deepak Chopra. "Quantum healing" Exploring The Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine.  It talks about how you get sick by all the garbage that is in your mind.  I've also read the books by Esther and Jerrt Hicks.  I know I will get better.  The most impotant thing is to be HAPPY now matter what.  You can do it.  It's just habit.  Good luck to everybody on their journey through life.

    Peace out,

    Pam

    Hello my dear friend :)

    I applaud you for your desire and I know you can do it. The same force that creates the universe creates you, your reality and your desires.

    If law of attraction has brought all these responses to you.. I would TAP on all the "concerns" that people have brought up here.

    Probably they have been your concerns also in some level and you have attracted these responses.

    YES! YES! YES! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT and your request has been granted and approved by the universe 100% and you are allowing it more and more everyday in every way. Looking forward to read about your increasing lottery winings here! and to enjoy a loving gift from your wonderful creator and you (suggestion $100,000.00 for me) Thank you :)

    Much Appreciation, Love and Abundance!

    Hi Alex

     

    I too am focusing and shifting my vibrational energy on winning the lottery.  I want to win 19million dollars.  As I want to open a shelter for the less fortunate and also help orphan animals. 

     

    Keep on with those positive thoughts something will happen soon!  Listen to Abraham  Esther and Gary Hicks "How to attract money" great insight brilliant!!

    Re: What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

     Thank you to all have contributed their time and thoughts to this post!!!

     I appreciate the support provided and have been reading and taking all of the advice to heart.  Those who may seem to think that it is 'greedy' to want abundance in the form of money is missing everything that I have said and hopefully will see their own negative issues and tap on them. That is another thing, I've been trying to 'catch' myself from my own wording which is easier to identify limiting beliefs when its not your own and is a valuable lesson!  I believe in hard work, I am just ready to do it without money in return, hence the volunteering.  I'm very grateful for being in the stage I am in my life and have always known at some level that I am meant for great things.  I'm just ready to get things rolling a little faster and am glad I have not been born with everything given to me because it helps me appreciate things better now and in the future. Its just that money is what has come to me as a viable starting place. 

    It has been proven to me that there is more than just 'clear thoughts' in regards to money. I've started countless times on a money issue and ended up on a family issue or limiting belief of my own.  So I am starting to have clear proof that it is not about money at all.  I know that this has been stated and it has always made sense, but I just had to go through the tapping to truly feel it as the truth.  So it is hard to 'blame' money considering these results.

     I know this is limiting to getting everything through just money and there is far more to what I want to do (put my health first, take care of family, volunteer,  donate, etc.) and that is where I get confused.  I have so many things I want to do once I have it and don't know how to start working little by little. I realize that what I have stated as a goal (100 million smakaroos) is a big one, but I had to start somewhere in order to receive feedback.  I like the idea of starting out small and some have mentioned there income was increased over several months.  

    So how did you tap on that specifically???  Did you tap everyday to increase the money amount everyday, week, month, or increase clients/business in the same amount of time?  Or did you even mention the lottery?  If someone would like to give an example from EVEN THOUGH..... I would really appreciate it!!!  Specifically,  how you started and progressed.  What form of gratitude did you provide, if any, as you went along (a smile to a store clerk, a nice tip at a restaurant, etc.)?  I realize getting the vibrational mood is important, but as to how to get that moving is the difficult part(another thing to tap on, ha ha ha).  Did you even tap on money or was it a general abundance or what can be done with it once obtained?

     Thank you all for your time and feedback!  I wish you all health, wealth, and happiness in all of its forms!!!!

    Sincerely,

    Alex =)

    Here is an article I wrote that might have some bearing for some. Sorry about the size, I seem to have lost control of text formatting.

      

    The Three Mental Steps for Making a Life Change

    by Chip Engelmann

    No matter what change you want to make in your life--increased abundance, weight loss, changing a destructive habit, getting out of an abusive relationship, recovering from a serious health issue, changing careers, finding a mate--all involve the same three mental steps:

    • Intent
    • Belief
    • Expectation


    1. Intent

    Intent usually involves a deep, profound dissatisfaction. You reach the end of your rope and declare that the situation you are in is unacceptable. At this point, you are at a fork in the road. You either consciously decide that you are going to do something about it, or you subconsciously decide that you are a victim of the world and slip into a state of powerlessness and accept the label of depression–which makes you more powerless, and eligible for drugs that make you even more powerless.

    Mustering intent involves admitting your anger. You have to acknowledge your anger and dissatisfaction with your current situation. Once you do, you can explore those things that make you angry, particularly anger and hate directed toward yourself. Following and examining the anger will lead you to the life decision or vow you made that is keeping you stuck in your current situation. These life turning points can take the form of some variation of the following:
    • I am bad. (I need to be punished)
    • Rich people are not authentic.
    • When I get older, I'm going to eat what I want, when I want.
    • I promise to be perfect (so my mother or father will love me)
    • I'm never going to be like my mother.
    These are but a few examples.

    Once you uncover these life-determining thought forms, you can consciously decide to change them. An effective technique to make this change is a variation of Dr. Pat Carrington's Choices Method. I'll use the last example above to demonstrate.

    Mary has vowed never to be like her mother. Naturally, she doesn't do those things she hates about her mother. But she may also reject the good qualities and habits that her mother had. So if her mother was successful, had good work habits and people skills, Mary, with her vow not to be like her mother, might struggle financially and have poor people skills.

    So we want to release the vow and replace it with something more empowering. The set-up statement may look like this:

    Even though I vowed never to be like my mother, I release that vow and accept with gratitude the skills and qualities I inherited that will help me achieve my goals.


    Rub on the sore spot or tap on the karate chop point and repeat 3 times:

    Even though I vowed never to be like my mother, I release that vow and accept with gratitude the skills and qualities I inherited that will help me achieve my goals.


    Now tap three rounds. On the first round, tap using the reminder phrase:

    I vowed never to be like my mother


    Tap the second round, tap using the reminder phrase :

    I release that vow and accept with gratitude the skills and qualities I inherited that will help me achieve my goals.


    And tap the third round alternating the two. For example, tap on the eyebrow while repeating:

    I vowed never to be like my mother


    Then tap on the side of the eye repeating:

    I release that vow and accept with gratitude the skills and qualities I inherited that will help me achieve my goals.


    And so on. Make sure you end with the new positive phrase.

    Repeat this exercise at least three times a day for three weeks to establish a new pattern of manifestation.



    2. Belief

    You have to believe that the change you are making is possible. Steve Martin used to joke,

    "You can be a Millionaire and never pay taxes.

    You ask, ‘Steve, how can this be?'

    Well, first, get a million dollars."


    The reason this joke is funny is that we believe getting a million dollars is the impossible part of Steve's claim. We don't doubt rich people can avoid paying taxes.

    If you can't believe you can achieve your life change, it won't happen. You won't do what it takes to succeed, and if you do, you will find ways to self-sabotage to make yourself right, that it was impossible. Many people fail in achieving their goals because they aren't able to see themselves doing what it is they want. Some people can even see others making the change, but they believe that they can't do it, that they are somehow defective.

    For some people the solution may be as simple as lowering their goal to a point where they can believe they can achieve it. Once that goal is achieved, they can set a new goal higher. (See Julie's Spiritual Space, 8. The Magic Card.)

    For others, they have "tried everything" with no success and have given up. This frustration is common with people who are trying to break a habit. They have tried will power, diets, pills, etc. but have not addressed the underlying emotion that creates the anxiety that the destructive behavior suppresses.

    Typically, the solution in this case would involve examining self-directed anger, guilt and shame, and using EFT to take the charge out of them. A decision or vow may have been made, so you would use the Choices Method to restructure it. Once the underlying issue is quelled, you can use the Choices Method to alter the perception of impossibility.

    Even though I believed that losing weight was impossible for me, I now recognize that every day, more and more subtle changes are taking place in the way I feel, the way I look, and the choices I make.




    3. Expectation

    Expectation is about trust. The Universe responds to and gives you what you expect. Many people have tried to change their world with affirmations:

    I'm so happy and grateful that I am a millionaire
    I'm so happy and grateful that I am a millionaire
    I'm so happy and grateful that I am a millionaire


    But if you expect that these affirmations will have no effect, then they will have no effect.

    If you trust the Universe will provide, it will.

    An example I use - I'm not sure if it came from the Secret or from the Teachings of Abraham - is that of placing an order. If you place an order with Amazon.com, you expect that three days later, a book will be delivered to your door. You trust that all the behind-the-scenes stuff, the packaging, the shipping, the shipment by the post office, will all be taken care of and the book will arrive.

    You don't call back an hour later and wonder where the book is. You don't order it again on the second day because you haven't seen it yet. You just know that you have done your part, and now the rest of the Universe is working on your behalf to bring to you what you set into motion.

    Likewise, you have to trust that the Universe is doing all the behind-the-scenes stuff to bring about your life change. People usually have that kind of trust about most aspects of their life. Yet, when it comes to that which they are dissatisfied with, the trust fails.

    One technique you can use to eliminate the "reasons" you don't trust is what Gary Craig calls the Tail-ender Technique. Simple state your goal as an affirmation; then when your objections come up, tap on them and eliminate them. So for instance, if you affirm,

    I'm so happy and grateful that I am a millionaire,


    And you think,

    Yeah, right, you've never made more than $50,000 in a year.


    You would tap on:

    Even though I'm afraid I'll never make more than $50,000 a year...
    Or
    Even though I'm afraid I'm unable to make a million dollars...


    So you say your affirmation again and then you might think,

    Making a million dollars clear will be a lot of hard work.


    And so you would tap on

    Even though I'm afraid becoming a millionaire will be a lot of hard work...


    And so on until you have no more limiting beliefs. Once the limiting beliefs are gone, you should have no more obstacles to trusting the Universe and allowing your change to occur.

    EFT practitioner George Duisman shared with me a technique that could be useful here, the Give Me Insight Technique. But instead of insight, we give ourselves peace. Use the format demonstrated above for the Choices Method.

    Even though I have trouble trusting the Universe to come through for me, I give myself the inner peace I need to allow the process to occur.


    While many people will be able to make their life transformation on their own, others may be stuck and need help. A person whose car gets stuck will do what it takes, such as paying $400 to get their car on the road again. But a person who gets stuck in their life may wait it out, remain stuck and powerless, sometimes for the rest of their days, rather than get the help they need.

    Please call me for help if you need it.

    In the meantime, if a life change isn't happening fast enough for you, evaluate where you are in terms of your intent, belief, and expectation.

    EFT is amazing:
    So how did you tap on that specifically???  Did you tap everyday to increase the money amount everyday, week, month, or increase clients/business in the same amount of time?  Or did you even mention the lottery?  If someone would like to give an example from EVEN THOUGH..... I would really appreciate it!!!  Specifically,  how you started and progressed. 
     

    Hi Alex

    I've written an article about how I did my abundance work and got amazing results within a month (more like two weeks). As Gary Craig recommends in the Palace of Possibilities, you use an affirmation for your desire, and EFT as the eraser of ALL limiting beliefs. IT really is that simple .... and that complex. As you are already discovering, abundance is not about money, and you are doing an amazing job already of finding those limiting beliefs and tapping on them.

    So, go create yourself a shorter-term meaningful, passionate, enthusiastic affirmation.

    e.g. "I easily and joyfully _________________________ "

    It's out there, just waiting for you!

    Re: What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

    Hi, I just wanted to add that I've found the law of attraction to be highly based on feeling. So it might be helpful for you to jot down the types of feelings you would have if you had all of that money - because actually it's not about the money - it might be about the freedom feeling all that money would give you, or it could be a calm feeling that you'll never have to worry about money again  - i hope that makes sense. Focus on the feeling. Also I've found that if you focus on the feeling (which i usually do in my solar plexus) - i simply imagine it, and i give it a colour, and then I imagine when I am visualising what I want putting the colour into my new image because i find that really helps me move the feeling. Plus it means you'll keep the positivity going because you've created a bit of an anchor, so when ever you see that colour as you go about your day you will relive the feeling too.

    Just some thoughts. Hope it helps.

     Hugs,

     Kelly :)

     What a gold mine you have given, and thank you for the reminder about such simplicity in how to anchor those wonderful feelings. Though you may not know it, you really gave my head a twist straight into an aha moment. I appreciate it.

     Hi Kelly,

     I have to say I agree with Mahikan.  What a gold mine it truly is to allow myself those feelings!!! It seems to be another piece to the puzzle and one where I would be afraid to soak up because I might 'jinx' myself.

    I have been following all the recommendations given and have started out little by little with great success!  I have had people coming out of the woodworks for the services I provide.  I am offering my services free of charge for Reiki and have gotten great meals, home-made cookies, and some wonderful conversations with people about how much they want to improve and change their lives for the better.  Also, my work flow has increased which means more money in  my check.  It certainly is not the $100 mil, but it is a step in the right direction.  I did finally read the Palace of Possibilities and love, love, love Gary's insights about affirmations.  I have used them daily.  My health is also improving much more dramatically than I would have ever expected!  I am sure it is a combo of Reiki and EFT, but it seems to work for me.  I also am very happy to report that I am catching my language to also speak more positively.  As a result of all of the EFT work I am looking into Colorpuncture, Aura Soma Therapy, and Holographic Memory Resolution to help free up my negative emotions that limit me in many aspects.  Thank you all for your time and feedback!!!

    I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!!!

    Hello my dear friend :)

    I applaud you for your desire and I know you can do it. The same force that creates the universe creates you, your reality and your desires.

    If law of attraction has brought all these responses to you.. I would TAP on all the "concerns" that people have brought up here.

    Probably they have been your concerns also in some level and you have attracted these responses.

    YES! YES! YES! I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT and your request has been granted and approved by the universe 100% and you are allowing it more and more everyday in every way. Looking forward to read about your increasing lottery winings here! and to enjoy a loving gift from your wonderful creator and you (suggestion $100,000.00 for me) Thank you :)

    Much Appreciation, Love and Abundance!

     Daniel

    Daniel, you and I obviously think alike!

    There are no limits, except the ones you put on yourself.

    It's interesting that people say money is 'just energy' or just money'  etc. Money seems to be regarded by many as a means to an end.

    We really should learn to love the money we already have.

    Money is beautiful, each note and coin, however large or small the denomination is a work of art.

    Does anyone actually stop to take the time to respect and appreciate the beautiful  money they have in their possession right now?

    I used to look at what money I had and immediately my vibration would turn to lack , 'I wish I had more... ' etc

    When I changed my attitude and my feelings towards the money I already had things began to change, and continued to change for the better.

    Re: What about just winning all the money you need in the lottery?

    Alex,

    Cracking Question.  As I think a lot of people think about winning the lottery to get large sums of money quickly and easily with little or no effort. - yeah that's my belief.

    Several things come to mind.

    You mention that it is an amazing amount of money.  Is that an amazing amount of money that you actually believe or not, you can have and deserve.

    There are several underlying beliefs I think in your writing.

    I'm worried people can't afford my service or I should only charge X amount for my time, effort and skill.  This is total rubbish. So many of us confirm to or self impose this belief.  What will people think of me if I charge ten times as much as other people doing what I do? I can't charge that much, nobody would come and see me. The opposite is often true.

    If you think you are you starting out too big, you are.  It is certainly possible to win $100 million on the lottery.  Others have done it, therefore you can too.  You could ask for an extra $5k a month, each and every month.  This or something better.

    You feel good about your progress, but not ecstatic. Still more tapping to do, I think.

    You want to help out your family and friends which is very honourable, but why? Often even as adults we're still looking for parental approval in all that we do and get. Or we want to be the centre of attention.  We want the big, public thank you, aren't you amazing.  After 3 days, everybody else forgets about it.  Then what?

    When you bought your winning lottery tickets, how did you feel, what did you say to yourself just before you bought them and straight afterwards?

    What is different between then and when you go to purchase a ticket that could win you $100 million?  There will be one or several things different.

    Let’s be honest, energetically or not. $14 is a very small amount. $100 million is not.  If it wasn't we would all have $100 million would we not? If we wanted it.

    We all have different beliefs thoughts and emotions with different amounts of money.

    Your goal would not to be winning the lottery, but to have $100 million.

    I'll mind read and guess that you think the only way you can get $100 million is by winning the lottery. I myself included get stuck in this way of thinking. Yet, this is not true.

    There are 100 million ways that you can get $100 million.  There is everything outside of the lottery that could lead you to getting $100 million.

    When you get $100 million, then what? The post event emotions are actually what you are really after or worried about.

    How will others react, good, bad, and indifferent?  How do friends and family react now when they see and hear about rich millionaires?  If it is negative.  You'll not be winning because you want to avoid their reaction to it.

    Happy Winnings.
