A Quick EFT Tip I learned From Nick Ortner

I was reading a newsletter from The Tapping Solution and I thought you would benefit from the information. The article was written by Nick Ortner on releasing the negative emotions that come from incidents that happened in our childhood or even the not so distant past.


Nick tells about an incident from his past and about how to use the Movie Technique. I often use this technique when doing visualization but this is a great way to release negative feelings about things that happened in the past.


Nick’s article got me thinking about embarrassing situations that happened in the past that could contribute to feeling uncomfortable in the spotlight of leadership. Do you remember any times when you were doing a book report or some other presentation in front of the class and you messed up? I remember one time during a junior high public speaking class we were doing impromptu exercises where we had to speak without notes on a subject. When it was my turn to speak, my mind went blank. I couldn’t remember anything about what I was supposed to talk about so I just started talking about something unrelated. It was sheer babbling to fill time.


I remember another incident where one of my friends tripped on microphone cords and fell off the stage. Several people laughed. Somehow that affected me, even though it happened to my friend. Ever since then, whenever I have to go on stage I am worrying about tripping or falling in some way. I also worry for my friends when they are going on stage.


I appreciate Nick Ortner’s post. I will reflect on my past and do this EFT technique to clear the negative emotions around those incidents.


Think about things that happened to you or things you witnessed in your past. Are there any of those things causing you uncomfortable feelings now?


Here is a clip about that technique from The Tapping Solution’s blog:


    Tapping Tip: Tapping Out Your Captain Kangaroo Experience


    Here’s an easy three step process to clearing an event from the past.
    1. Pick the event.
    Try to be as specific with it as possible and only start with one for now. You can do more later, but now, focus on ONE experience where someone said something to you, where you said something, where you learned that it wasn’t safe to stand out and be YOU.


    2. Rate the intensity of what happened.
    When you think about the event, feel what you felt then or even what you feel now about it, and rate the intensity on a 0-10 scale.


    3. Start visualizing the event as a movie.
    With your eyes closed, tap through all the points, as you see the movie play. Keep tapping through the points, moving whenever you want, and running the movie again and again, in as much detail as possible, See it, feel it, smell it, hear it, make it real and keep tapping. Notice what stands out to you most about the movie, and focus on that issue. Notice where you feel a ‘charge’ and focus on that, and just keep tapping, tapping, tapping.


    Tap until you can see the movie, without feeling an emotional charge.


    What have you done? You’ve healed that event, cleared the emotional charge, processed the stuck energy through your body, reminded your body it’s safe!


    Rinse and repeat for any events that you can think of! (I made this joke before, “rinse and repeat” referring to what the shampoo bottle says. Someone took it very literally and emailed asking if they should shower in between each tapping session! It’s actually not a bad idea, water is very cleansing, but you don’t have to do it between each tapping round. 🙂 )

EFT Points and Corresponding Body Organs

Recently I wrote an article about how EFT can help you in your network marketing business. Since then I have had a few questions about how EFT works I thought I would expand on the subject a bit. Hopefully my explanation helps a bit.


EFT is a form of psychological acupressure that uses a gentle tapping technique instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points. It works even if you don’t believe it will work.


Every cell has receptor sites. Things that happen in our life, thoughts we have, something that happens to us, something we witness happening to someone else, an injury, a trauma, etc. The hypothalamus releases chemicals that are called peptides. These peptides are short chain amino acids that we experience as an emotion; all the emotions are simply chemical combinations. They attach themselves to the cells and can cause problems if they are not processed.


Our emotional issues are connected with our cells and our body organs. Each EFT point we tap corresponds with a body organ. When we tap on the designated points on the face and body and combine it with with focusing and verbalizing the identified problem, we are speaking directly to your body, bypassing the conscious mind. This completes the processing of those chemicals out of the cell receptors, bringing our body back into balance. We are tapping acupuncture points instead of using needles.


We can actually release all kinds of negative emotional issues. Since we’re speaking directly to your body and not your mind, you don’t have to believe it will work in order for it to work. You can remain completely skeptical and still get great results!


EFT points and Corresponding Body Organ Meridians:


    beginning of the eyebrow – bladder
    side of eye – gallbladder
    under eye – stomach
    under nose – governing vessel
    chin – central vessel
    collarbone – kidney
    under arm – spleen/ pancreas
    under breast – liver
    thumb – lung
    index finger – large intestine
    middle finger – circulation
    baby finger – heart
    Karate point – small intestine


EFT is powerful in releasing blocks and fears that hold us back in our business but also in enhancing positive changes we intend to attract. Once you have released negative emotions, you can use EFT with positive affirmations to replace the negative with positive feelings that move you closer to where you would like to go.


Whether you realize it or not, Law of Attraction is always working. The words you use and the thoughts you are thinking effect the level of success and abundance you will have in your business. Affirmations can be helpful but EFT makes them work better. With EFT, you are tapping on the various body organ points and driving the intent into your cells.


The potential is pretty powerful wouldn’t you say?

What is EFT and How Can It Help Your Network Marketing Business?

EFT or Emotional Freedom Techniques is a form of psychological acupressure. With EFT you are tapping on various acupuncture meridian points while you focus on a negative issue you would like to change.


About 5,000 years ago, the Chinese discovered a complex system of energy circuits that run throughout the body. These energy circuits, or meridians, are the centerpiece of Eastern health practices and form the basis for modern day acupuncture, acupressure and a wide variety of other techniques.


With EFT, we are using a tapping technique instead of needles to stimulate traditional Chinese acupuncture points. While tapping various points on the face and body we are also verbalizing the issue followed by a general affirmation phrase.


EFT works on the physical and emotional level. You don’t have to believe it will work in order to get results. Many people have been skeptical when they first tried it.


Here’s a quote from Gary Craig’s EFT Manual:

“The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system. This includes fears, phobias, anger, grief, traumatic memories, PTSD, worry, guilt and all limiting emotions in sports, business and the performing arts. That’s a comprehensive list and covers just about every restrictive emotion we can experience.”


“Differently stated, this means that all these negative emotions have the same cause…. an electrical “zzzzzt” in the body. It also means…they can all be relieved in a similar manner.”


Everything we experience in our past from childhood on up affects our programming. Some of those experiences were very stressful, maybe even traumatic. The negative experiences around those events become an electrical “zzzzzt” in the body which can become blocks that affect our business and other things we want to do in life.


Here is an example from my life:
When I was 9 years old I was abducted by a stranger. I was able to escape but the event was terrifying. It affected me from that point on. I was afraid to go anywhere alone and I didn’t trust strangers. I have had subconscious protection programming going on that contributed to my not feeling comfortable in visible leadership roles. Actually it was quite a bit more than an uncomfortable feeling.


When I started my network marketing career, it was in spite of an intense fear of being a leader. At first I didn’t understand why I was so afraid. All I knew is that I had to be a leader if I wanted success in network marketing. I pressed on in spite of the fear.


I didn’t know EFT in the beginning but I was bull headed and would not give up. I knew my WHY and I was determined to be successful. You know how they say your WHY should make you cry? Mine did and STILL DOES!


That childhood memory caused me to be afraid to go anywhere alone, afraid to be visible and afraid to trust strangers. You can imagine how that would cause a lot of limiting beliefs in a business where I have to be a visible leader and talk to strangers.


EFT has been a powerful tool for releasing negative emotions clearing the layers of protection that become blocks to success.


When you clear things with EFT, some things will be cleared and you won’t have to keep working on it. One example is my fear of flying. I did EFT on one trip through the airport and on the plane. I am amazed how comfortable I have been since then. I have never needed to do anymore tapping when traveling on planes.


Some things you will want to do EFT on over and over. Someone who knows how to push your buttons and triggers you, may need multiple tapping sessions. When someone makes you mad, stop and tap.

Enhance Visualization With EFT For Network Marketing Success

Visualization is an important key to success in reaching goals. If you want to be successful in anything, especially for success in network marketing, you need to see yourself in the future as the success you intend. You need to see yourself achieving your goals. Not only see yourself successful but also to get to the feeling of success.


Close your eyes and start to think about your goal. Tell a story in your mind or pretend you are watching a movie but instead of just watching the movie, step into the movie and become part of it. What does it look like? How does it feel? Picture yourself achieving it and living as though you have already attained it. Try to get as many details as you can.


Now, as you are visualizing, tap the EFT points. It doesn’t really matter which points. Just tap points as you visualize.


Do this EFT visualization exercise every day. One thing I notice when I do visualization this way is that the images get stronger each time. I find this especially helpful when I have trouble visualizing.


Visualization is a very important tool for your success. Adding EFT powerfully accelerates the whole visualization process.


Give it a try. Hey, it’s FREE. What if it works for you?

Tap While You Gripe

Tap While You Gripe is one of my favorite ways to use Emotional Freedom Techniques. It is a super simple technique. Just talk and tap.


There are times when you get angry or irritated about something. Sometimes it helps to talk it over with someone. Talking and venting your feelings can be helpful. Why not try tapping while you are talking about the issue that is bothering you. Just tap and tell the story. You can talk to a real person or pretend there is someone you are talking to.


Don’t get too worried about the exact wording you use or what order of points to tap. You don’t even really need to say the words out loud. Just focus on the negative emotion you want to clear. Keep talking and tapping.


I like to use Tap While You Gripe technique if I am really upset about something but I don’t know where to start. When you start tapping and talking, things will come to mind. Just keep tapping and expressing anything you are feeling until you have poured it all out.


You don’t need to say things out loud. You can be thinking the words as you tap. Just focus on the negative emotion while tapping.


The EFT Points


KC = Karate Chop
EB = Beginning of the Eye Brow
SE = Side of the Eye
UE = Under the Eye
UN = Under the Nose
Ch = Chin
CB = Beginning of the Collar Bone
UA = Under the Arm
WR = Inside of Wrists

You can also tap the fingertip points. Each finger can be tapped at the base of the nail.


Try this technique sometime when you have had one of those days where you feel the need to vent a little, or when you feel angry about something. See if you notice a shift in the way you feel.
