(Dear Dr. B I sure don't get it what is positive to tell yourself for 21 days

you have problems? Fondly Betsy)

Betsy, that is a very good question, let me give you a brief explanation.

Throughout all of humanity and recognized by all forms of psychology is a

condition referred to as a phobia. This is an irrational reaction to a fear of

something. An easy example is someone afraid of elevators, they can't get in or

sometimes even approach an elevator without an anxiety attack. The average

person says to themselves, 'it's only an elevator, relax', gets in the elevator

without incident. The phobic person also tells themselves, (through self

speak), to 'relax it's only an elevator'. Yet their brain responds to this

inner statement as a lie and believes the exact opposite to be true. In other

words, 'be afraid or be very afraid', thus the aniexty reaction to the phobia of

elevators. This condition in EFT is called psychological reversal.

Since all thoughts in the brain are electro-chemical, and all emotional

responses are also electro-chemical (glandular chemical not just synoptic), you

may use the EFT technique to affect these negative reactions.

The foundations of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is the energy principle of

acupuncture. All acupuncture meridians end at the finger-tips of both hands.

The right hand is the outgoing energy, and with the fingers bunched and tapping

the left hand along the pinky, (incoming energy of the heart meridian), while

also making a conscious mental statement about the issue, (phobia, problem,

anxiety, whatever you want to call it), you are affecting the electro-chemical

negative reaction with all of the memories that have to do with this issue.

The unique thing about EFT is it does not matter what is causing the negative

response, it only matters to change or stop the negative response. EFT does not

use counseling to discover, and then reframe, the hidden memories that produce

the anxiety responses. This may take years to uncover or not at all. Leave this

to licensed counselors to discover. EFT only wants to change the negative

electro-chemical glandular responses from all of the memories that have to do

with each issue, to a positive normal response.

Between the problems that you have, and the problems that you Still have, you

are covering ALL problems that have to do with this issue. You are affecting

all memories in a positive way that have to do with the issue, without having to

be aware or know what that memory is. It does not matter, it only matters to

stop the negative response!.

The tapping of the left hand along the pinky is the distal point for the heart

and tapping above the heart directly is the proximal point to the heart. So what

you are doing is thinking about the issue (bringing up the memories) while

tapping energy points. Doing this for 21 days in a row is the length of time it

takes to change a negative habit to a positive.

Very effective technique to get rid of psychological reversal. Have used it for

years with great success and have only needed the other points and techniques of

EFT for only 20% or less.

Hope this helps.

Hi Betsy. Dr. BJ addressed this pretty in depth, but I will just say a

few words too. I really understand the belief that what you say is what

you get and so you want to speak life over yourself. As the Bible says,

" life and death are in the power of the tongue " . On the other hand I

have found in my life that often the way to get free of a negative is to

acknowledge it instead of ignoring it or resisting it or " making

positive statements " that I hope will reverse it. There is something

powerful about surrender. But it is a tricky subject. The trick is to

know when to surrender and when to resist.

Those who resist and win will go out and teach the doctrine of resisting

to win. Those who let go and win will go out and teach the doctrine of

letting go to win. Both are right. The truth is that in ones lifetime

there will be times when it is appropriate to hang on and times it is

appropriate to let go.

I have had success with both doctrines, at different times. With EFT I

also was a little dubious about the wisdom of speaking over myself what

seemed a negative statement. But in reality I have found it to be

profoundly effective and freeing from the negative. Instead of further

cementing the problem in me I find it releases it from me.

Here is just one physical example. I was having some pain in my left

breast for a few days. Really achey and sore. And the nipple REALLY

hurt. Of course the logic goes, well I need to get my hormones

balanced. Too much testosterone or??? But then I remembered EFT and

thought, " maybe not. " So I did a really simpe phrase. Even tho my left

breast hurts I deeply and completely love and accept myself. I did one

round and the pain was 97% gone and within a half hour it was totally

gone and hasn't returned since. (It had been hurting for about three

days at the time I did the EFT). I know from past experience that I

could have confessed that I was free of pain for days on end without

success.

I really do not understand how this whole thing works. But I have been

doing it daily for around a month and I find it profound on a daily

basis. I recently helped a woman with severe cancer who told me her

fear level was a seven on a scale of 0-10, ten being the worst. We did

one round of " Even tho I am afraid of dying, I deeply and completely

love and accept myself. " Before we could get through the whole sequence

I could tell it was working. She went from sounding kind of edgy to

sounding like she just took a tranquilizer. She said she felt like she

was in a baby trance. Whatever that means. And she said she just

couldn't connect with the fear. I have chatted with her many times

since then and the fear has not returned.

Someone else might have tried to give her a pep talk or told her to just

resist it or think positive or, or, or. But my experience has been

that, that stuff doesn't work very well. But tapping accupressure

points while focusing on the issue just makes it vaporize almost 100% of

the time. It is really quite remarkable.

I helped a friend of mine who was unable to use a public restroom if

someone else was in the room. She has had this problem since she was a

child. She is 57 now. She just got a new job and does not have her own

bathroom. And she was quite frustrated because if she can't go to the

bathroom she starts to not feel well and yet she just can't do it if

someone is in the other stall or at the sink, etc. She has tried and

tried, over the years. to positive talk herself out of this problem and

into freedom without success. We did one round of EFT for even tho I am

unable to go to the bathroom if someone else is in the room. . etc. And

now she is able to urinate and deficate. She is amazed.

As I said, I don't fully understand this, but it works. And it seems to

work better than a positive statement. I have tried it with varioius

positive statements and find it less effective. No clue why.

Hi there --

That was an excellent explanation of EFT. I have been interested in

it for a little while now, and have been experimenting with it off and

on with some good results. I do find that the common perception of

'forgetting' what it did for you or that you really ever had the

problem that it helped to resolve is true, and thus I sometimes don't

think to turn to EFT when I should.

I'm really curious about the statement below, and wondering if you

could help shed some light on where the idea of 21 days, specifically,

originates. I don't doubt it, I would just love to know the

rationalle behind the number.

Thanks!

I recommend that people keep a log of everything they tap for because

when it vaporizes you can literally

forget that it was ever an issue. So a log helps you to remember that

it does help and it also is a good reference

material for helping others.

As far as the 21 day thing goes. I don't see the point for issues that

are emotional. Since

EFT gets rid of them instantaneously I don't see the point in continuing

on for 21 days. But that is with basic stuff.

In some situations like depression, you might need to tap daily for six

weeks or so to get results. For some it lifts

with one round. For others, perisistence is what works.

And for physical issues, sometimes persistence is what gets it done.

The bottom line is try it and if it goes away immediately,

great. If not, then continue on till it is gone, which might take more

than 21 days, depending on what it is. MS, for instance, might take

months.

But so what. You know.

Hi Bonnie,

I know I often eat to calm down from feelings like loneliness or anger. I made

plans what to do instead, but if I was standing in my kitchen, my brain was

totally empty, I stuffed things in my mouth and only afterwards I remembered my

brilliant plans. I was devasteted. So I searched in this group and found an old

message about EFT. I watched some mytube videos from a woman called Aila (?) and

Craig and other people and read hundreds of comments about it. I personally

don't like Chinese Medicin (f.e. they kill tigers rhinos...) and and don't

believe in meridians, so I didn't like to do this and thought it's just a sort

of distraction. Then I thought, that you often tap children and adults on the

back or shoulder, when they are crying or nervous. So next time in the kitchen I

tapped on my chest and shoulders and it worked! It released the tension in my

body, so that I could leave my kitchen and then remerbered my other strategies.

I'm doing this for some days now and I feel very well.

Be blessed

Hello, Bonnie and others,

I actually practice EFT quite regularly. I originally learned about it as a

clearing method for the Law of Attraction, as a way to align what I want

consciously with what my unconscious mind wants or thinks I deserve. I've been

working with an EFT coach (he's also my boyfriend---full disclosure), and we've

worked on so many issues, from childhood traumas to creating the life I want

now. I'm generally a happy and positive person, but I feel like we always have

opportunities to grow and learn.

Alan uses a style of EFT that is combined with NLP (Neuro-Linguistic

Programming). He studied under G. (whose videos you can also find

on youtube). It helps me to challenge the belief systems I've grown up with and

held on to, and to release negative emotions associated with those beliefs. A

belief is just a thought we repeat to ourselves over and over again, to the

point that we make it our truth. EFT helps me to release the beliefs I don't

want (i.e. " I've always been told that I'm the fat one, so it must be true. " )

and to adopt the ones I do want ( " I can be healthy, active, joyful, and

grateful. " ).

What's great about this particular method is I'm constantly checking in with

myself as I tap. Is the emotion still there? How would I rate in on a scale of

0-10, 10 being the strongest? As I tap, I try to bring the issue up, try to

bring the emotion up, but it has less and less of a grip on me. I do this until

the negative feeling is completely collapsed. It's fine to feel what we feel on

this journey. We're human. But EFT helps me release those emotions when they

are no longer necessary or helpful to me. The root of it all is " I DEEPLY AND

COMPLETELY LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF. " Then, you release and let go and find

peace.

I encourage everyone to give it a try. What harm can a little tapping and

self-love do? I was a little hesitant to work with a coach that was also my

boyfriend (not wanting to seem vulnerable as all these negative emotions came

up), but having that outside eye to guide me is so helpful. He is supportive

and compassionate and helps me to stay focused on all the wonderful things I

have in my life. I remember talking about how she practices on her own,

but finds it also makes a huge difference to practice with someone who can guide

her. I feel so amazingly blessed on this journey.

Love and light to you all!

Melody

Hi Melody,

Thanks for the input. So far, the little I do seems to work for me and

I really want to use it as a tool. I'm not familiar with NLP although

I hear many EFT people talking about it. I really think releasing

those limiting beliefs is the key! I find that I feel good about

myself but when I get around family, I become this fat, clumsy,

useless 12 year old girl again and I want to teach them that I am not

that anymore.

Bonnie

Thoughts become things. Choose the good ones.

The statements sound good to me, as far as dealing with your current situation.

But you seem to feel like there's still more emotion to release?

I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling that these current situations are

reflections of past situations you've been in. So you're addressing the current

hostile environment, or the current authority figure/peers trying to keep you

down... but you're not treating the " echoes " of previous situations where you've

felt similar emotions.

What happens if you take out " work " ? And/or make the statements past tense?

Even though I felt like I was stuck in a hostile environment (like growing up

with a depressive mother?)

Even though I am frustrated and angry about how I was treated?

Does this strike a chord? Or am I conclusion-jumping again?? :-)

Hi!

I am going through some troubling times at work at the moment and find that EFT

helps to deal with the anger and frustration. My statements go something like

" Even though I feel like I am stuck in hostile work environment... I deeply and

completely love and accept myself. Even though I am frustrated and angry about

how I am treated at work, I choose to be naturally slender. Even though my boss

and peers try to steal my ideas and keep me down, I will find a way. "

It helps, but maybe somebody has some advice on how to make it even better?

Right on, !

I just read your message and have to say, your observation is as astute as

usual... Yes, part of the reason I think there are still more negative emotions

to release is that I have been in similar situations (at least emotionally)

before. I am going to tap on these tonight and take out " work " and see what

happens!

Thank you so much!
