Ever wonder what to say or how to start when you sit down to do EFT?
Many people have difficulty formulating their setup statements. EFT set up statements do not have to be complicated, but if the setup statement is not correct, all the tapping in the world will not solve the problem.
Read how Dr. Tam Llewellyn eliminated an intense craving for chocolate muffins by a slight tweak in the set up statement.
Here's an easy way to create powerful EFT statements:
1. Put what you DON'T want in the left hand side of the the affirmation statement. Let's suppose you want to use EFT to stop night eating, and you don't want to overeat when you are tired.
Your statement could start out:
"Even though I feel like eating when I'm tired . . . "
"Even though I feel tired and I just want to eat . . . "
"Even though I want to overeat when I am tired . . . "
2. Put what you DO want in the right side of the affirmation statement. Think about how you WANT to feel, or how you would PREFER to feel.
"I choose to feel relaxed and energized."
"I choose to allow myself to feel tired without overeating."
"I choose to manage my fatigue without food."
3. Put the 2 parts together, and you have some powerful EFT setup statements.
"Even though I feel like eating when I am tired, I choose to feel relaxed and energized."
"Even though I feel tired and I just want to eat, I choose to allow myself to feel tired without overeating."
"Even though I want to overeat when I am tired, I choose to manage my fatigue without food."
Of course, this technique assumes that you actually WANT your cravings to go away. If you aren't sure, focus your statements on your desire to reduce cravings first.
Carol, EFT has truly changed my life and I can’t thank you enough for opening my eyes to this wonderful tool and can’t wait to see how else it can improve my life.
I have always been TERRIFIED of flying. Onboard a plane, I shake and tremble and pray and wait for the worst to happen. After deboarding, I have to sit and wait for my legs to stop trembling. I’ve tried hypnotism, took a course online, tried having a drink, taking a pill…never felt anything but terror. If you gave me free tickets to Hawaii, I would give them back to you as I wouldn’t even consider flying that far away.
On the webinar series, I asked if EFT would help. I was getting on a plane the next morning and already feeling terrified. It was suggested that I do the tapping that night for ten or fifteen minutes and I tried to do that. I must admit, I didn’t believe it would help and only “tapped” for about two or three minutes. I couldn’t focus on it as I hadn’t packed yet. I just tapped that I want to be like all the other passengers who don’t feel that fear.
The next morning, I woke up calm, which was strange. I kept that calm feeling all morning. I only felt panic for one moment as I closed the front door to leave, worried that I had forgotten body soap, wondering what else I forgot. I felt the terror well up, and mentioned to my husband who said, don’t worry, we’ll buy some. I envisioned myself going to Walgreens and getting soap and felt so calm. Could it be that I wasn’t worried about flying as much as being completely prepared and packed?
I don’t know why I was so calm. I laughed and slept and actually ENJOYED the flight. I looked around and I was like everyone else on the plane. Your suggestions and this two minute tapping gave me a peace I can’t even explain. I didn’t tap before the flight home, because I knew I would never be afraid to fly on a plane again.
You have opened up the world to me…I have never before been able to dream of traveling, why would I want to go anywhere that included flying. I now dream of Australia, New Zealand, I can go anywhere, thanks to EFT.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…you and EFT have changed my life.
Patty Rutkowski
Carol's note: Thanks for writing, Patty! We've gotten used to these results with EFT, but I NEVER get tired of hearing about them! See my notes on Whoopie Goldberg's treatment for fear of flying on my Stress Eating Blog.
In a recent interview, Kirstie Alley referred to herself as a "brat" when discussing why she regained her weight. If you find your inner "brat" showing up all too often, here's a 2-minute video that shows you how to tap to avoid sabotaging your weight loss.
Combining EFT with other techniques intensifies their effect. One of the simplest ways to do this is to use the Heartmath breathing technique with EFT.
First, bring your focus to your heart and breathe in and out as if you are breathing through your heart. Then think about something you feel grateful for.
After a few moments, when you feel relaxed, then do a round of EFT. You can do the heart focusing exercise after the EFT if you want. This brings the heart into a state of coherence, which reduces stress and enhances intuition. It will help you to have better focus, more energy, and improved mental clarity for any issue you are working on.
P.S. The Heartmath personal stress reliever tool, which I use and LOVE, is on sale this month for stress awareness month.
The power of intention can be combined with EFT to amp up your desire.
Intention requires compassion and connection.
You can see this in examples where telepathy is highest between people in need, especially those who are already in a loving relationship, such as mother and child.
To take advantage of intention and EFT together, do the following steps:
Andi Whitaker recently wrote an article on how to enjoy certain foods and increase sensory experience. It got me thinking that some people would like to increase their desire for healthy food.
Some of my clients say they don't like salad, or can't eat raw vegetables because it makes them think of dieting, and actually gives them cravings for junk food.
What if you could increase your desire for healthy, low calorie food and decrease desire for fattening, unhealthy foods? It seems that this would be a simple task with EFT.
Even though I don't like salad, I love and accept myself anyway.
Even though eating salad makes me feel like I'm on a diet, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though eating raw carrots makes me feel deprived, I love and accept myself completely.
Even though I only like junk food, that's what tastes good, I love and accept myself anyway.
The only real question here is - do you really WANT to give up junk food? Some people don't - they just think they *should*.

Sometimes I get questions that go something like this "Carol, I tapped on all the points, but nothing happened . . . " This statement gives me a clue of where the problem could be - mental focus.
EFT is not just tapping around the points, although in some cases, that could be enough. You have to FOCUS on the problem you are trying to solve while you tap. Many people are so worried about tapping on the "right" point or in the "right" order, they forget to focus.
You can often improve your results just by improving your focus.
Deborah Miller wrote an excellent script for how to tap into love in this article by using tapping and mental focus.
Sergio Serrano used the mental picture of a dream while focusing on the feeling behind the dream to discover and collapse important core issues. Read Sergio's article for a simple routine to follow to use mental focus and visualization when you apply EFT treatments to dreams.
Gary discusses mental focus related to sports and performance issues here. -a very good read - enjoy! And don't forget to focus!
Hi Carol
I purchased your "Lose Weight Without Willpower" CD and I would like your input on some things I am experiencing.
My weight issue has been going on for many years now, although about 4 years ago I went on a serious diet and lost 21KG and was able to maintain my weight for about 18 months, after which the wheels slowly started falling off and I am now 13kg's up. I now find it rather difficult to do.
This morning after doing a tapping session about my weight I suddenly got very emotional and realized that my biggest problem is that I am so sick and tired of always having to give things up. Not only with losing weight but with wanting material things etc.

I was recently diagnosed with a “frozen shoulder,” a condition that can come on suddenly or over time, especially in women. My shoulder ached at night and I had tightness, pain and a limited range of motion when I worked out. My doctor prescribed physical therapy, and told me that it would get better, but it would take 1 ½ - 3 years to fully recover.
I thought I could probably do better with EFT, so I asked my friend, Bob Huffman, an experienced EFT practitioner, to do an EFT session with me. There was no obvious precipitant, so the first question he asked was: “If there was an emotional cause, what would it be?”

Binge eating is ENTIRELY solvable. I define it as a *meltdown*. It has a very predictable cycle, and once you get past a certain point in the binge cycle, it's very hard to turn back. It looks like this:
Triggering Event --> Tension Builds --> Vapor Lock --> Meltdown (Binge)
Being a former binge eater myself, I've written several articles, led teleseminars on how to stop binge eating with EFT and without EFT, and written a book on using EFT for binge eating. I have turned the teleseminar into a binge eating CD.
And as always, EFT CDS and DVDs make wonderful holiday gifts (for yourself, your clients, your family and friends).
My EFT Weight Loss CD is now listed on Amazon. It may be a few more days until it will show up in search results.
Positive ratings and reviews are also welcome (and enormously appreciated) from anyone who may already have the CD :-)
Gary has recently published the EFT manual as a printed book or you can still download it free.
The newest edition is really well written, easy to understand and more complete than the earlier editions. So I recommend that you download the newest version, even if you are an experienced practitioner.
From my inbox: Why doesn't EFT ALWAYS work? On occasion I can get it to help me calm down, but not always. It doesn't seem to help with my overeating at all. I use EFT while driving to work in the morning (1 hour) and then I still eat when I shouldn't. Yes, it is stressful at work, but I want EFT to help me control it and so far I can't seem to get it to do so.
There could be many reasons why EFT doesn't work all the time. Gary has written extensively about this here and I have addressed it here. By the way, I don't know ANY technique that does what you want it to do 100% of the time. A skilled practitioner is going to have good results most of the time, and it can depend on how often and how effectively you are applying the technique.
Here's my short list of reasons:
It seems like all of my friends are passionate about dogs, cats and/or horses. And I am too! I've even written an article for Gary's site about using EFT with my 9-year-old beagle for her sluggishness, which turned her into a playful pup! It seems to me that dogs have an asssortment of issues, behavioral, emotional and physical that could be helped by EFT. I am wondering if EFT can help with weight loss, even in dogs! I am starting a website to provide information on healthcare for dogs (I completely fell in love with the photo!) So I think I will include EFT on it too!
If you've been using EFT for any length of time, you know that unexpected results are a regular occurrence. Core issues often arise (these are the issues that keep a symptom in place), and seemingly unrelated issues can magically resolve themselves when you are tapping for something else. Expecting the unexpected is probably a good stance to take. David Lake writes about hidden benefits and unexpected results.
Also, review my article on my client's thumb pain would not improve until relationship (emotional) issues were resolved, giving us clear evidence of the link between emotional issues and physical pain. Another good one is my friend who wanted me to help her with EFT for weight loss, and ended up losing weight as well as her taste for wine. Whatever happens is always in the client's best interest, so just be ready to be pleasantly surprised!
My friend "Sally" was stuck and frustrated in her efforts to lose weight, and she was interested in using EFT for weight loss. Sally was one of those people who was doing everything right, but the weight still wouldn't come off. She worked out every day . . . she ate healthy . . . she ate very few sweets . . . she tried different diets, and still, her weight just wouldn't budge.
She had a few theories . . . she thought it might be due to hormonal issues, or that she should cut back on the 2 glasses of wine she had with dinner. Sally got a VERY unexpected result . . . and she wasn't too pleased with it either! Click here to read the full story.
When I was a child, I occasionally had difficulty sleeping. I would call my mom into the room and say "mom, I can't sleep." She said 2 words to me that worked every time -- "just rest." I immediately felt relaxed and drifted off to sleep.
Somehow, those 2 words took the pressure off. As soon as I realized that I didn't *need* to go to sleep . . . I went to sleep.
Now as an adult, I understand that the more you want something, the more you push it away. It's fine to have a desire, but if you want something so strongly that you feel like you *have* to have it, metaphysically, you are making it harder to get it. As soon as you let go of the *need* to have it (your attachment to it), you draw it to you.
You can use EFT to reduce the *need* for that thing, and make it easier to get. For instance, many people feel like they *need* to lose weight. "Even though I feel like I need to lose weight, I love and accept myself completely."
There is an acceptance process that is inherent in the EFT set up statement. Paradoxically, you need to accept yourself (which many people find it difficult to do), while you get comfortable with the idea of being successful, and hold the goal at the same time.
Steve Wells has written extensively on accepting yourself and manifesting and paradoxical thinking -- these articles are well worth reviewing.
Do yourself a favor and take the pressure off! You may find that it makes your goal easier to achieve.
When you find yourself in a tense or stressful situation, here's a quick way to reduce the tension.
Start at the Sore Spot or KC, and repeat a positive affirmation while tapping on each point. Breathe deeply as you tap, and your stress will be reduced in no time.
One of my favorite affirmations is: "Out of this experience, only good will come."
The great thing about this affirmation is that it's easy to accept and it doesn't deny reality. It doesn't deny that the situation you are facing may be uncertain or even grim at the moment. So it is less likely to trigger resistance. You are affirming that you are open to the possibility of a positive outcome. If resistance does arise, use EFT to erase those competing thoughts.
Choose an affirmation of your choice. I like "the world in conspiring in my favor" and "I have everything I need."
Once the tension is reduced, you can think more clearly and focus on the situation at hand.
Affirmations are underused and misunderstood. Read what Gary Craig has to say about the missing piece of the affirmation process and how he lost 30 lb. using this technique. Then put this powerful tool to work for you.
It is critical to pay attention to where you put your focus. If you are focusing on how much weight you need to lose, then according to the law of attraction, you are attracting more weight. (You get what you think about.)
If you are focusing on how much money you need, then you are focusing on what you don't have enough of.
Kind of a Catch 22, isn't it? It can be very challenging to focus on what you DO want instead of what you DON'T want. For weight loss, spend time focusing on the slim body you want to have -- you don't have to have a crisp, clear image. It can just be a feeling . . . a felt sense . . . what your clothes would feel like . . . how you would feel inside at your ideal weight.
Anxiety is primarily about the future -- something that you are worried *might* happen. Soothing anxiety is one of the biggest causes of overeating. I love Gary's comments on anxiety eating and my post about my client's similarities between overeating and panic attacks. And if you've ever had a panic attack, you know that it's not an experience you want to repeat.
Anxiety tends to build and take on a life of it's own. People who have anxious temperaments tend to obsess and catastrophize about what *could* happen. But we all suffer from anxious feelings from time to time. So getting a handle on your anxiety is a very good thing to do.
To use Emotional Freedom Techniques to lessen your anxiety, try to stay in the present moment and follow these 3 steps:

Sometimes you feel resistance to doing what you think you *should* do. While self sabotage can occur for many reasons (read chapter 10 in Lose Weight With EFT), it's always frustrating to undo your hard work.
This can come from a feeling deep inside that you aren't worthy of getting to the goal. If you know in your heart that a healthy diet, more exercise, having a difficult conversation, setting a boundary or taking more time for yourself is truly in your best interest, then you may need to learn to honor yourself more.
Gary Craig has just announced a new certification program. If you aren't a practitioner, it won't apply. But I want to tell you more about his DVD sets.
I love them all because it's such an easy way to learn, from the comfort of my own environment! They are all masterful, but having been to some of the workshops where they were created, I do have my favorites.
Everyone should have the Basic Set of DVDs starting out. It has all the basic information, and really shows the history of how EFT started.
My favorite is the Intermediate set. Seeing Gary conduct these sessions was a HUGE thrill. We just tapped for the entire weekend as he worked his magic with 1 person after another. Brilliant! I took the redeye home and I wasn't even tired the next day.
The Intermediate set really shows Gary's skill, humor, wisdom and intuition. You get to see how he effortlessly allows himself to flow in his wording, and it helps you to feel more confident about not doing it "wrong." You also get the Specialty Series, where you get to see EFT applied to every kind of problem - weight loss, allergies, ADD, working with children, etc. and you realize how unlimited it is!
If you have concern over any medical issues, then you'll want to add the Honors Library as well -- this has 1 demonstration after another on how EFT is used for serious diseases.
Releasing weight with or without EFT can be really frustrating. Even when you are doing everything right, the body sometimes says "NO."
There can be a lot of reasons for this stuckness. You may be sabotaging your weight loss unintentionally by eating "just enough" to prevent you from losing weight.
You may be fooling yourself about how much you are eating, or how little you are exercising. You may need to get off sugar.
Or something about being thin may not feel "safe." Part of you is rebelling against your own good intentions.
From my EFT weight loss inbox: "Does it matter whether we "lose" weight, which means that we will find it again, or whether we choose to 'eliminate' or 'remove' weight?"
First of all, when we "lose" weight, we don't necessarily "find" it again, as in when you "lose" your keys. If you believe you will find it again, then you probably will. The self-fulfilling prophecy is a very powerful principle. So one thing to do to maintain weight loss with EFT is to change your beliefs to be more congruent with your goal.

If you haven't read it, go here to read my latest article on EFT, Gratitude and Sleep I love tapping in gratitude and other positive emotions to increase positive feelings and wellbeing.
In research studies, people who are asked to incorporate a daily gratitude practice report fewer health complaints and fewer symptoms of physical illness. They feel more joyful, optimistic, connected to others, and more positive about their lives as a whole.
Gratitude group participants exercise more (about 1.5 more hours per week), get more hours of sleep, spend less time awake and feel more refreshed in the morning. Perhaps this is why grateful individuals feel more vital and have fewer health problems. They get more sleep!
I had an interesting chat with a woman in my audio program on the phone the other day. She told me a quick story about using EFT for food cravings.
"I had an urge for a bag of Cheetos!" she said. (We all know the feeling!) She didn't exactly know how to use EFT, but she had read a little bit about it.
So she tapped on the karate chop point and said "I love and accept myself exactly as I am. Cheetos don't bring me happiness. Losing weight does."
She just kept tapping on that 1 point, and the craving went away. I love this story for several reasons.
She dove in even though she wasn't sure exactly what to do. She just said what she was feeling and didn't worry about getting the words "perfect."
It shows the incredible flexibility (and power) of EFT. It can work . . . even if you're a beginner . . . and even if you aren't sure what to do. Now how cool is that?
I love the affirmation of self acceptance ("I love and accept myself exactly as I am.") So often we want to be different so badly, we just can't accept ourselves as we are right now. This is an important step not to skip and it is built into EFT set up statements.
Tapping in an affirmation ("Cheetos don't bring me happiness. Losing weight does") seems to make the affirmation far more effective. I like tools that can amplify an already positive process.
Have you had an experience with cravings? Love to hear it! Leave a comment below.
Mary wanted to lose weight, but she kept sabotaging herself. Being a gifted and highly skilled therapist, Mary understood the reasons. Continue Reading EFT for Self-Sabotage
Whenever you have the urge to overeat (or drink, or any other addictive habit), ask yourself how you WANT to feel. Think about what you want the food to do for you. Most of the time, the answer to that question is "change how you feel." So how DO you want to feel? Visualize yourself having that feeling. To amplify the impact, tap while you are visualizing. I only use 1 point (sore spot), but you can do a full round if you want.
If I am tired at the end of a day, I want to feel energized and refreshed, so I simply massage the sore spot and visualize myself feeling that way. You'll be surprised how often you can create the feeling you want with this simple technique.
Today I sat down with a stack of books. Personally, I buy a LOT of books and audiotapes because I LOVE to learn. And I always want something positive coming my way. I don't think there's anything better or more inspiring or motivating than talking to people who have been there and have been successful . . . their own way.
That's why we interviewed Michele Brodbeck for the Lose Weight Now Audio Program. Her story is simply inspiring! She lost 43 lb. and kicked a 1200 calorie/day soda habit. She taught herself to stay on track and even shares her winning self-talk.
It's important to stay hopeful and inspired, to keep your spirits elevated. Michele is a regular person. If she can do it, so can you!
If you have a story to share, let me know, or leave a comment here on the blog. I might want to talk to you personally or post your story/photo to inspire others to keep the faith. Here's to hanging in there . . .
hugs,
Carol
I guess I created quite a stir with my post about Paul McKenna and EFT: Can He Make You Thin? Most people wrote to say that they agreed with me. I guess I'm not the only one who thought something was missing.
He says so . . .
Does that make it true?
There's been a lot of discussion about the new TV series on TLC with Paul McKenna, called "I Can Make You Thin."

Sometimes I don't know which is more difficult - accepting yourself or accepting others. It's hard enough to live with my own mistakes, but accepting the actions of another person seems darned near impossible. For other people, it could be the other way around. The hardest person to accept and forgive is yourself. EFT can certainly help facilitate acceptance and forgiveness. And it seems to me to be a good idea to work on both accepting yourself and others.
A quick exercise is to use Emotional Freedom Techniques while looking in the mirror. You can do this with or without using words. For most people, just looking into the mirror will bring up issues and feelings to tap on.
I also love these general statements:
Even though I'm not perfect, I love and accept myself anyway.
Even though I'm not perfect, I deeply and completely accept myself.
Even though I'm not perfect, I love and accept myself completely.
Breathe deeply and notice how you feel.
It's a great reminder that we don't have to be perfect - and a great way to start your day!
Emotional Freedom Techniques - EFT for Weight Loss - New CD Available!
All new weight loss EFT tracks--
We all have our stories. We have a story about why we can't lose weight (because everybody in my family is overweight . . . because I have a slow metabolism . . . because I love to eat, yadda yadda yadda). Gary Craig calls them "comedies." These comedies are created from the writing on our walls - what we have come to believe and have been told by others.
One of the things I LOVE about EFT is the opportunity to access and use my intuition. As a coach, I have learned to trust my intuition and my willingness to share it, without being attached to being *right.* Gary Craig refers to the work being done "through me" rather than "by me." That is intuition at work -- a sense of knowing that occurs as a natural extension of our normal senses.
Many people using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) worry that they don't know or cannot *find* the reason behind a particular problem. So they usually start guessing. Why can't I lose weight? "Maybe it's my hormones . . . my genes . . . or a slow metabolism . . . or maybe there's a deeper issue, but I don't know what it is."
Panicky feelings can create both panic attacks and overeating. My client views EFT as a “fool-proof method” to short-circuit her panic attacks. It only takes 1 or 2 rounds to stop the panic attack and get back to sleep. She has had only 1 attack in the past 4 months, and has not needed any medication. She has also significantly reduced her overeating.
If you've ever had a panic attack, it's not something you want to repeat. While they can be managed, it's a very uncomfortable, frightening experience. Anxiety often drives overeating as well. You may be surprised by the similarities in these 2 issues. Here's my latest article on Gary's site. Read it here.
Did you know that I have a site just for you? I've been training coaches and EFT practitioners in internet marketing for several years.
Go to EFT Practice It features resources for practice building and my new DVD for coaches and EFT practitioners.
As I have had conversations with clients and friends recently, it occurs to me that almost EVERYONE feels overwhelmed with their lives.
It's just all too much! No wonder we turn to food, and other addictions --There's no way to keep up with it all.
Here's how EFT can help:
Here's an email that I typically get: "Hi Carol, I have 30 (or 50 or 100) lb. to lose and I've been overweight for 10 years. I don't get much exercise because I am working so much and caring for my children. I have a lot of stress in my life."
Yes, you can use EFT for weight loss, no doubt. It will stop food cravings and the emotions that drive stress eating.
New Teleclass Starts August 23rd -- Go to http://www.NoExcusesBlogging.com
Blogs are a powerful tool for building your EFT practice. And they are EASY -- you know I'm a fan of easy solutions.
That's why I chose blogs as a platform to help coaches and EFT practitioners get started with websites on http://www.EasyCoachingWebsites.com
Go here to read about the advantages blogs have over traditional websites
I just love spreading the word about EFT through blogging and newsletters, and helping others do the same.
Have you seen "The Secret"? The folks from the meditation program that I use are offering an 8-session online course called Masters of the Secret. It features in-depth interviews from the stars of The Secret. Each lesson expands on the Law Of Attraction and topic of how to create your life the way you want it. There's no fee for this course. Love it!
I've just started a new blog STRICTLY for EFT For Weight Loss and I'm posting some of the common questions there. The first is about how long it takes to lose weight with EFT. If you have questions, go ahead and post a comment on the blog and look for the answers in future posts.
If you have ever tried traditional therapy for food and weight issues, you know that most therapists don't have the answers.
Let me be the first to say that it's not their fault.
It's an insidious problem and most therapists don't have specific training in this area.
EFT was originally developed to shave years off the process of traditional therapy.
It works.
If you haven't seen it, here's my latest post on binge eating on The Emotional Freedom Techniques Website:
Binge Eating Greatly Decreases After Hundreds of Hours of Traditional Therapy Fails
With EFT, you may have to dig a little deeper, but there is always hope.
And it's always worth it.
From my inbox:
Hi Carol, I am putting together a weight loss/ healthy lifestyle class for my clients. I’m excited to see what you add in your weight loss book! I have one question, however, that I have been unable to get anyone to answer for me…
What do you do when you are doing the initial “Even though… I deeply and completely accept myself”
I have a few clients who can’t say that last part.

Hi Carol. I read your email and also listened to your audio about nondieting weight loss strategies.
I had already conquered a lot of stuff, but I have tapped for 2 months on weight loss with EFT -- all my cravings for salty snacks, popcorn, Pepsi etc. have all disappeared but I still can't seem to lose any weight.

Got stress? Most people do . . . and it's easy to reach for food or some other substance to deal with it.
Feeling the need for chocolate?
Take a look at the sources of stress in your life, and see if your list has increased or intensified in some way. For instance, I've been doing some home remodeling lately -- I underestimated how stressful it would be. When I took a survey of all of the changes we were making at one time -- no wonder I was feeling the pressure! Fortunately, I didn't reach for food, but I did lose sleep over it.
It was great fun to write a chapter on EFT for weight loss in the book, "Freedom At Your Fingertips." To celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our book, YOU have a chance to win fun (and valuable) prizes, when you purchase the book from the Freedom at Your Fingertips website. My chapter focuses on overcoming and eliminating self-sabotage, and there are lots of other cool chapters, including EFT for Anxiety, stress, sports performance, pain management and more. Take a look!
EFT is a very flexible improvement tool that can be used for weight loss. I am using my version of it here and have had extraordinary results. The original version and complete training can be found at www.emofree.com For more information, download the free 87-page EFT manual or explore the EFT DVD Library.
While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage, and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Further, Gary Craig is not a licensed health professional and offers EFT as an ordained minister and as a personal performance coach. Please consult qualified health practitioners regarding your use of EFT.
