Meridian Tapping

Meridian Tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is basically a combination of Asian
acupressure and modern psychology.  It helps remove blocks and blockages in your body's energy
system and can be used to shift negative emotions, destructive beliefs and physical pain. 

"EFT enables positive cognitive shifts and its genius is that you can pretty much pull up anything that
bothers you and turn it 'off' on purpose.  It also modifies the anxiety/stress response, fostering positive
body awareness." (Gabriela Rosa - EFT Practitioner)

One of the greatest advantages of meridian tapping is that it is one of the easiest ways to identify and
shift the programming in your subconscious.  Plain positive thinking and affirmations have minimal
impact on the beliefs, perceptions and habitual behaviours programmed into your subconscious.  It is
these subconscious programmes that control your behaviour about 95% of the time.  Unless you shift
these then they will often work against the new conscious beliefs and behaviours you wish to adopt.  Meridian Tapping is one way that you can re-programme your subconscious and make the beliefs and behaviours you want to have the ones that operate habitually for you.

You can easily perform meridian tapping yourself on any issue that is bothering you.  I find the process
itself helps you to identify deeper underlying sources to current issues.  These may be past experiences, memories or just realisations that arise as you tap.  However, if you are dealing with intense emotions
or trauma or find you get 'stuck' it is advisable to see a professional EFT practitioner.

Here is a description of the process to get you started.

Some tips:
Breathe
Breathe slowly and deeply throughout the tapping process.  Breathing also helps mobilise fluids and energy within your body and can aid with the release of the negative energies and toxins that are released by the tapping process.

Be as specific as possible
Describe the issue you are tapping on in as much detail as possible.  Often as you are tapping your understanding and description of the issue will evolve and become clearer.

If you are tapping for physical pain then focus on the pain as you are tapping.  Feel the pain as intensely and clearly as possible.  If you are tapping on physical pain do one or more rounds of tapping on the physical pain and also tap on any emotional issues rising around the pain (stress, anxiety, fear are often involved). 

If you are tapping on an emotional issue, try and get the emotion as high in you as possible.  Feel it intently.  Imagine the situation that triggers the emotion vividly in your mind.

The Acceptance Statement
You can vary the acceptance statement (used at the end of the set-up) to one that you feel comfortable saying e.g
"I deeply and completely accept myself anyway"
"I choose to accept and forgive myself"
"I deeply and completely forgive and accept myself"
"I choose to feel calm and accepting"
"I choose to let go"

Key Phrases
When you are using tapping to programme positive beliefs into your subconscious then the following statement starters can be very powerful: "I choose", "I allow" and "I am".
e.g. "I choose to be in acceptance", "I am powerful", "I allow money to flow into my life", "I choose to feel peaceful", "I am worthy of love", "I allow my body to heal itself"

Separate Negative and Positive
When tapping on negative issues of fear, pain, doubt, frustration etc just tap fully on the negative feelings first until they begin to lesson in intensity.  You can then begin to tap in positive affirmations.  When tapping in positive affirmations, keep it positive.  Avoid adding negative 'tail-enders'.  A tail-ender is a condition that people put at the end of their affirmation which can effectively cancel the effect of the affirmation eg 'I believe, I can create my reality with the the law of attraction, but I doubt this law because I have no way to prove it to myself.'  In this case you would tap on the 'doubt' first and then just tap in the new desired positive belief.

Be Persistent
You may need to do two or three rounds of tapping to begin to feel a shift.  You may need to do two or three sessions of rounds of tapping.  It may take a little longer in the beginning until you become comfortable with the technique and more complex issues often take some time to work through.

One of the things that I love about tapping though is that it is so quick and you can do it virtually anywhere.  When I have been working through more complex issues I have stopped to tap on issues as soon as I have become aware of them in order to capture the height of the emotion around them.  If you are out then bathrooms are a good place to get 5 minutes of privacy.  If you are driving then tap when you pull into a car-park or your garage.  You can just state issues in your head, you don't need to say them out loud.

The meridian tapping process may look and feel a little strange at first.  All I can say is give it a go and try it on everything.  You have nothing to lose except a small investment in time and possibly a whole new level of health and happiness to gain.

Recommended Resources
I personally found it easiest to learn EFT/Tapping by watching someone else do it.  I have The Tapping Solution DVD and it provides a clear introduction to using Tapping for a variety of issues.  It is a documentary about a group of people who went away for a weekend together with a group of expert Tapping practioners.  Very informative, and very moving to see the breakthroughs that some of the participants had.
