Hi Rebecca, You can usually tap on the issue without being in the emotion. However I find that I can clear an issue better when I am feeling the emotion. Sometimes on the EFT DVD's Gary would encourage people to repeat a phrase loudly and with great intensity to help them to connect to the emotion while tapping. This is very effective. ...

Thank you for sharing such a thorough and thoughtful script. I have done one full round and will do another before I leave the pc. I felt a few energy shifts as I was doing this. So far tapping works for me some of the time but I haven't had any lasting success with weight loss but I am encouraged by the success of others ...

Hi Snoops, I wanted to agree with Andrea about how helpful the personal peace procedure can be. I also want to add that EFT is very effective at helping you to connect to the feelings that you have about your issues. I suggest that you use that as a start and tap until you can really feel your true feelings about the events that happened in ...

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have similar issues with my weight loss efforts and fear of what would happen if I allowed myself to be at my goal weight. I am recognizing the power of positive thoughts towards oneself and others. Although it would be good to find a therapist to help address some of the issues and its great that you have ...

  Hi Gill, Thanks for your comments, ironically all of the items you have listed I have experienced. As a child I would often wish I were a boy. And no doubt my dad probably wanted a boy because he already had so many girls. Its funny how children get ideas in their head that seem to come from no where. But I can remember myself saying I ...

So far I have tapped on this 'hair' issue. Although, not consistently but occasionally. What has happened is that other issues have come up since I started. I am more accepting of myself. And don't tap so much to get rid of hair as I did before. I am learning that self acceptance is the key to alot of the issues in life that ...

Hi Roxanne,  Thanks for sharing about your experience using afformations and EFT. Sometimes I am helped with affirmations but not as much as I would like. So I think after your suggestions and Andrea's too, I will buy the book and learn more about it. Maybe there are just issues of emotional upbringing that effect ones belief system so ...

Welcome to the forum Roberta, I am sure that you will find the advice here very helpful. My own journey of weight loss is ongoing. However what I am learning as I go is to focus more on how I feel and allow myself to feel what I feel whether its good or bad. So sometimes I may feel that I am embarrassed for others to see that I have gained ...

Hi Amidala,Welcome to the forums. I have found that when there are issues in our lives that affect us in this way, like 'too much hair' it is important to focus on the feelings that one has because of the issue. I have the same problem, too much hair for a girl. Of all of my sisters and I am the only one whose got lots of hair and even ...

I think that you have made a good point here and that is what EFT helps us to deal with. And that is to become aware of how our past emotional injuries have affected our current feelings and beliefs about ourselves. We tend to want to seek the positive emotions, because they feel good and avoid negative ones because they don't.  The ...
