Dear Paul,
Once I feel better about my situation should I continue tapping on it. If so, for how long?
Look forward to your reply,
David
Hello David,
Thanks for asking this question. There is no general answer to this question. It all really depends on exactly what the issue is that you tapped for. I would take the following things into consideration:
Did you tap on something that is out of your control that happens on a regular basis? Let’s say for example that you live with a family member that constantly puts you down. Each time they say something cruel it hurts. In a situation such as this it is important to tap each time you feel that their words have negatively affected you in any manner. This can help you keep a positive outlook during and after the barrage.
Did you remember to tap in a good concluding statement when you felt that the problem was gone? In my experience the best way to do this is to tap in a thankfulness statement. Let’s say that you tapped away an anger issue that you have had for a long time. Your thankfulness statement could be something like this:
I am so thankful that this anger that has plagued me for so long is now forever gone.
If this statement should cause any doubts to come up. Tap all the doubts down to zero. You may be able to do this in one sitting or it might take a few times. You will know when to stop when you are comfortable with the thankfulness statement.
Have you tried not tapping on it for a day? The only way to be 100% sure that you are done with tapping on a situation is trial. If you can go through an experience or emotion that used to really affect you feeling anywhere from neutral to good, it is time to stop tapping. On the other hand. if you note even a small symptom that warns you that you might be negatively affected, continue to tap on the issue as well as the symptom. Do this pattern three times and if you start to feel that the progress has stopped consider getting the assistance of an EFT practitioner.
Kindest of Regards,

Dear Paul,
I like the effects of EFT, but am more frequently with people than alone. Because I am really disliking of calling attention to myself I wondered if there was a way that I could tap without making a spectacle of myself?
Jane
Hello Jane,
Thank you so much for the question. I can actually suggest three different ways to get the effects without making a scene.
The first is to tap only on the hand positions that are in the EFT manual. You would start out by thinking your set up phrases in your head as you tap on the KC point so that you are in no danger of having someone thinking that you are talking to yourself. Once you have done this tap your focus word or phrase on the thumb and finger points. Because there are only four points (since you are leaving out the Gamut Point as well) I would suggest that you go over the points twice for each round.
Another interesting technique that I stumbled across is to start by thinking your set up phrases in your head while tapping the KC point. Then you would make claws out of both of your hands and then tap them together so that the tips of the fingers are meeting on each tap. This allows you to tap on ten out of the twelve meridians simultaneously. When you do this repeat your focus word or sentence seven times.
The final way is to do it all in your head. Some people find this technique a bit overwhelming. But if you can get it to work for you it is an excellent way. You simply say your set phrases in your head and then imagine that you are tapping the acupuncture points that you normally would.
I hope these techniques will be of value to you.
Kindest of Regards,
Paul Thurman

3 Reasons that can make EFT appear not to work [5:07m]:

Frequently people assume that EFT doesn’t work when they fail to achieve results after a couple of rounds. This is largely because they’ve heard so much about what we call “The two minute miracle”. Though these fabulous results are frequently obtained in EFT, they’re not guaranteed.
Here are a 3 things to consider when you seem to not be having any progress and are tempted to believe that EFT will not work for your problem:
1. Have you had enough water?
In order to restore the body to balance there must be a sufficient amount of water in it. Dehydration stops the electricity generated by the tapping of the Acupuncture points from flowing properly. Before I start a session with a client I suggest that they have a glass of water prior tapping. A large glass is not necessary. Generally 4-6 ounces is more than enough.
2. Are you being thwarted by PR reversal?
PR reversal is when part of the energy in your body is flowing one way and part is flowing the opposite. When this happens it is absolutely impossible for results because your energy is working against itself. Although it is true that nothing can be accomplished while this reversal is in affect the good news is that there are four basic statements that solve the problem nine times out of ten.
“Even though I feel … I love and accept myself.
Even though I feel … I forgive myself for however I contributed to this.
Even though I feel … I forgive anyone else who contributed to this.
Even I feel … for the rest of my life, I love and accept myself.”
3. Are you being specific enough?
Once you get past the PR reversal it’s absolutely critical that you’re specific about your problem to get the best results. It’s easy to believe you’re being specific without actually being so. So, how can you tell if you are being specific enough? The answer is by using a simple NLP technique to make sure you’re tapping on the root of your problem. All you have to do is state your problem and then ask the question “why?” afterwards. Let me give you a brief example.
I start out by saying that I am angry.
- Why am I angry?
Because my boss yelled at me.
- Why?
Because he felt I was not making my sales quotas?
- Why does that make you mad?
Because he made me look stupid in front of my fellow workers.
- Why does it matter how you look in front of your co-workers?
It makes me feel inferior
Here is the issue to tap on. I am angry because I do not want my work colleagues to see me as inferior to them.
So the best statement would be along these lines:
Even though I am angry because my boss yelled at me in front of my fellow workers and that makes me feel inferior I completely and deeply love and respect myself.
There are other reasons why EFT appears not to work at times, but they are more rare.
Remember EFT will always work to at least a degree, so never give up!
