#301: EFT - What the Heck Is It? 

In this Friday Facts episode, EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique.  If you have recently done the Blocks to Owning Your Story Quiz, you might have come across this technique, also known as tapping, as I share some tapping videos and solutions with you in the results emails. I want to use this episode to share one of the tools that I have used in my own healing journey that I have found to be so powerful!

In today’s episode we discuss:
1) EFT is a modality I recently learned when I became NLP certified.  NLP is a model for success.  It’s the blueprint for success and the language you learn to speak to talk to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is where 95+% of your thoughts and beliefs are formed.  Think of the iceberg picture and all the work we never see below the surface.  To access your subconscious mind, you must learn how to speak to it and this is exactly what NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) is.

2) What is EFT? EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a therapy technique loosely based on the techniques of acupuncture or acupressure.  It uses the same basic energy meridians in the body to eliminate physical, emotional and mental issues.  With EFT we balance the energy system of the body to relieve issues. 

3) We receive up to 2.3 billion bits per second of information into our world at any one time and we only take in what is important to us.  We then apply our own filters, we delete, distort or generalize the information.  We decide what is important and this depends on where we are at at any point in time. We do this based on things like time, mood, language, memories, decisions, beliefs, values and identity. This represents our internal representation of the information we receive. This internal representation of how we see things creates a picture in our minds of what we are receiving and our physiology creates our state and our state determines our behaviour and that determines our results.  Our state is incredibly important to how we perceive the information.

4) WE tap in the fear and tap out the desires, this is how we create lasting change in our subconscious mind.  Depending on what we are experiencing, we may need to repeat this processes like EFT multiple times each day.
