How to Overcome Any Fear using EFT

Have you ever experienced crippling fear?  Perhaps it made it hard for you to
speak, move or otherwise function.  You logically understood there was nothing to
fear, yet it seemed like your fear took control of your body and there was nothing you
could do to stop it.  

Others may tell you to just push through it, and you want to, yet that feeling of
fear can be so powerful that you are overwhelmed.  It’s like the fear is rooted deep
inside you and there is little you can do to overcome it.  In some cases, fear may
dictate a person’s lifestyle, making their life much harder than it has to be (such as in
the case of the fear of flying or the fear of approaching women).

When I was younger I had a fear of public speaking.  My palms and forehead
would get sweaty, my stomach tense and nervous, my throat dry, my voice would
waiver; it was not fun.  I just kept pushing through and little by little I gained the
confidence to become a very good public speaker.  It took years of practice to
overcome that fear. 

If I had used EFT, I could have overcome that fear in days or even minutes.

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique.  It is a revolutionary technique

of tapping on various acupuncture points in order to balance your body’s energy.  The
theory behind EFT states that “The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in
the body’s energy system.”  So by balancing your body through tapping, you can clear
out any negative emotions stored deep within you.

Watch this introduction video about the effectiveness of EFT and some of the
incredible success stories, and then read my guide on EFT below.

The acupuncture points are located along your meridians, which are your
body’s energy pathways.  By tapping on the various points, your meridians balance
themselves out which allow for the energy to flow properly.  Once the disruption is
removed, the negative emotion is also removed. 

This is how negative emotions are caused:

1. You think of a distressing memory or experience a specific situation.

2. This triggers a disruption in your body’s energy system.

3. You feel a negative emotion (fear, sadness, anger, etc).

Through the use of EFT, you treat #2 (the disruption), which prevents experience
#3 (the negative emotion).  This goes against conventional psychotherapy which
attempts to treat #1 by addressing either the memory or the situation in the hopes that
it will stop the negative emotions from happening.

So if you have an extreme fear of flying, people may explain to you all the safety
precautions and statistics of airplanes, yet you still feel the fear.  It’s not until you clear
out your energy system that your fear goes away.  It can take many years of retraining
your body using the traditional methods or a few minutes with EFT.

So how do you perform EFT?

There are four steps to EFT.  Once they are memorized, a full run through can be
completed in about 1 minute.

1. The Setup

2. The Basic Recipe

3. The 9 Gamut Procedure

4. The Basic Recipe again

The Setup
The setup is used to properly orient your body’s energy system for healing. 
Sometimes we experience Polarity Reversal, which is like a self-sabotage effect that
the ego creates with problems it doesn’t know how to handle properly. 

Through the use of the setup, we temporarily remove this polarity reversal long
enough for EFT to fix the disruption.  This step is crucial to success because, in some
cases, the polarity reversal is so strong that nothing
will work unless the setup is done first.

To do the setup, simply rub your lymph area

on either side of your chest about 2 inches above
your nipple.  This is known as the Sore Spot.  You
will know you hit the right area when you feel a very
sensitive twinge. 

While you are rubbing, you must say an

affirmation statement three times.  “Even though I
have this ________, I deeply and completely accept
myself.”  In the blank, you fill in the fear or problem
you are experiencing.  

So for the fear of flying you would say, “Even though I have this fear of flying, I
deeply and completely accept myself.”  Say this three times while rubbing the sore spot
and you’ve completed The Setup.

The Sequence
The sequence is the set of acupuncture points which you tap to balance your
energy system.  Simply tap each point about 7 times with your index and middle finger.

You can use either hand, though your dominant hand is preferable. 

The list of points is as follows:

1. Eyebrow - Located just above the nose where the eyebrow starts, slightly to the
side.

2. Corner of the Eye  - Located on the bone alongside the corner of the eye.

3. Under the Eye - Located an inch under the pupil.

4. Under the Nose  - Located in the area between your nose and upper lip.

5. Under the Mouth - Located below your bottom lip and above your chin.

6. Collar Bone - Located where your collarbone and first rib meet.  To find it,
locate the U shaped indentation at the top at the bottom of your throat (where a
man knots his tie), then move down 1 inch and to the side 1 inch.

7. Under the Arm - Located about 4 inches below the armpit.

8. Under the Nipple - Located about 1 inch below the nipple.

9. Fingers - Located on the outside tip of each finger where the nail and the skin
meet. 

10. Karate Chop - Located on the fleshy, outside part of the hand between the top of
the wrist and the bottom of the pinkie finger.

Tap all points in any order about seven times each (The under the nipple point
can be skipped for ladies in social situations).  You can use either the right or left side
for any of the points. 

Each time you tap you must say a reminder phrase.  The reminder phrase is
a shortened version of the Setup affirmation.  For the example we used above, the
reminder phrase is simply, “fear of flying.”  So in this case we would simply say “fear of
flying” once for each point during the tapping.  This reminds the body to fix it’s energy
system for that specific fear or issue.

The 9 Gamut Procedure

The 9 Gamut Procedure is used to engage various parts of the brain while
tapping on the Gamut Point.  The point is located on the back side of either hand
between the knuckles of the ring finger and the pinkie and about an 1/2 inch back
(toward the wrist).

Simply tapping the Gamut Point by itself can be very

effective in reducing fear, so when it’s combined in this
procedure, it’s even more powerful.  

To perform the 9 Gamut Procedure, simple tap the

Gamut Point then perform these 9 steps:

1. Close your eyes

2. Open your eyes

3. Look hard down right (don’t move your head)

4. Look hard down left (don’t move your head)

5. Roll your eyes in a clockwise circle (imagine your nose is the center of a clock
and you are looking at each of the numbers, without moving your head)

6. Roll your eyes in a counter-clockwise circle (without moving your head)

7. Hum 2 seconds of a song such as “Happy birthday to you”

8. Count rapidly from 1 to 5 out loud

9. Hum 2 seconds of the song again

After the 9 Gamut procedure, simply do the entire sequence again (while saying
the reminder phrase for each point).

 ::: 7 :::

Sometimes after doing one round of EFT, the fear will be gone forever.  Other
times you may need to do multiple rounds of EFT for the fear to subside.  Also, there
may be various “aspects” that you need to get through before the fear is completely
gone.

For example, a person who is afraid of flying may need to do multiple rounds of
EFT like this:

The first round they can say “Even though I have this fear of flying, I deeply
and completely accept myself” for the setup, then do the sequence with the reminder
phrase “fear of flying,” then do the gamut, then the sequence again with the same
reminder phrase.

The second round they may do the exact same thing exact change the phrase
to fear of takeoff. For the third round, they can change it to fear of heights, or fear of
tight spaces and so on.

Many times our emotions get entangled with each other and what seems like
a simple fear of flying could actually be many fears that are triggered all at once.  By
doing rounds of EFT on each aspect, you become closer and closer to completely
overcoming that fear.

I have personally used EFT hundreds of times on many things.  I’ve used it
before I gave business presentations, before I played in softball games, and even
when I’ was feeling nervous about surfing in big waves.

The results are so subtle and instantaneous that I often look back and think “Was I
really afraid of that, no way.”  It’s like I can’t even relate to being afraid anymore. EFT
can also be used for

• Pain or trauma

• chronic illness

• addictions

• allergies

• weight loss

• anger

• sports

• and anything you can think of

How to Let Go of an Emotional Trauma using TAT

Life can seem hard sometimes.  We do our best to deal with life’s challenges as
they come up and maintain a positive outlook on life.  We’ve all experienced a sudden
trauma in our life that we weren’t expecting. 

A death in the family, a bad breakup, a business failure, or a debilitating physical

injury are just some of the types of traumas that can overpower our most powerful
mindset and lead us into  a spiral of negative beliefs and toxic emotions. 

If we aren’t careful, these traumas can live in us for so long that we forgot how
we felt before they happened.  A trapped pain can taint our every interaction until
our anger, frustration, or depression are just accepted as part of our personality by
ourselves and everyone who knows us. 

We think, “It would feel so good to be a kid again, free of all the pain and
hardship that life has bestowed upon me.”  The reality is that although we can never be
a kid again, we can still feel as good as we did when we were young. 

How?   Just as life has been a journey with it’s road bumps, the journey back to
childlike glee is a similar journey. 

Some things that have helped me include meditation, affirmations, EFT, energy
work with chakras, and healers, being present, understanding and using the law of
attraction, and T.A.T.

What is TAT? 
TAT stands for Tapas Acupressure Technique and is the most powerful method
of releasing emotions from painful traumatic memories that I know of. 

It’s an easy process of holding a few acupressure points while going through
a series of statements that allow your mind and body to let go of trauma or negative
beliefs.  It allows your body to dissipate negative emotions and leaves you with greater
energy, personal power, and inner peace.

To do TAT, find a quiet place where you can spend 10 minutes to yourself.  I
usually do TAT before I go to sleep since it helps relax me and clear my head.  Sit
down and hold the TAT pose. 

The TAT Pose 

Using one hand, gently touch the thumb to the area just above the inner corner
of your eye. With the ring finger of the same hand, gently touch the finger to the area
above the inner corner of the other eye.

Place the middle finger at the point midway between both eyes, and about 1/2
inch above (near your third eye point).  No pressure is necessary.

Now take your other hand and gently place the palm against the back of the
head with the thumb resting just above the hairline so that the palm cradles the skull.

Either hand can be in front or back.  You can have your eyes open or closed.
You may also lie down if you’d like.

How to perform TAT

Begin with this intention (aloud or silent):

The healing I am about to do will also benefit all of my ancestors, my family,

everyone involved, all parts of myself and all points of view I have ever held.

Hold the TAT pose and focus on the following statements for about 1-2 minutes
each.  If your hands get tired, simply rest for a moment then begin again.

Limit TAT to 20 minutes a day and be sure to drink lots of water.

Step 1 - The Problem: This happened.  Replace “this” with whatever traumatic
event happened for each statement.

Step 2 -  The Opposite of the Problem:  This happened, it’s over and I’m
okay.  I can relax now.   This refers to the eternal part of yourself that always
exists and always will exist.  If it’s an ongoing problem you can say This is
happening and I’m okay.

Step 3 -  The Places: All the places in my mind, body and life where this
has been stored are healing now.

Step 4 - The Origins: All the origins of this are healing now.

Step 5 - Forgiveness Part 1:  I apologize to everyone I hurt related to this

and wish them love, happiness and peace.  It is not necessary to name all

the people in these three parts.

Step 5 - Forgiveness Part 2: I forgive everyone who hurt me related to this

and wish them love, happiness and peace.

Step 5 - Forgiveness Part 3: I forgive everyone I blamed for this, including

God and myself.

Step 6 - Parts: All the parts of me that got something from this are healing
now. This heals the painbody or psychological reversal part of you which may
receive some benefit from the pain such as attention and sympathy.

Step 7 - Whatever’s Left:  Whatever’s left about this is healing now.

Step 8 - Choosing: I choose ________.  Fill in the blank with a statement of

how you want to feel or any positive outcome that you want.  Make sure it’s
positive such as “I choose to feel love towards my parents,” and not “I choose to
forget all the pain my parents caused me.” 

Step 9 - Integration: This healing is completely integrated now.  Next, swap

hands so that the one in back is now in front and review this statement again.  

Then put the fingers tips of each hand around each ear so that the thumb is
touching the bottom of the earlobe and the pinkie is touching the top of thr ear
with all the other fingers touching around the outer part of the ear and review
the statement again (As if you were cupping your ears with your finger tips).

Step 10 - Gratitude: Simply give thanks to God, life, source energy etc. for the
healing that has taken place.

You may feel dramatic shifts immediately or a more subtle shift within a few
days.  You may feel like a weight has been lifted or you just feel happier or more
emotionally free. 

This is the process of regaining that youthful joy of being a kid again.  Feel free
to be creative with the wording.  Say the words that feel best for your situation. 

Also, during your first time doing TAT, do the pose and focus on this statement:

I deserve to live and I can accept love, help and healing.

I have personally used TAT, dozens of times to overcome many things in my life. 
I like to focus on one trauma or limiting belief at a time and do it every night for about 5
days straight. 

I’ve done on things that I logically thought that I was beyond and I’ve found that
it’s helped a lot since there was still a bit of pain buried deep within my psyche.  

Throughout the day if anything comes up I may go into the TAT pose and
reaffirm the “I choose” statement from step 8 to refocus myself.  It’s a great way to
center yourself and refocus your energy.  Try it on a painful event you’ve experienced
