Sigh...I've seen it before, but didn't know what it was called. How exactly does it work?

Sarian,,, Some issues get released very quickly with EFT and some take longer and require investigating and treating more aspects.

Difficulties we have - emotional, mental and physical - are caused by blocks in our energy systems that come from negative conditioning and events in the past. EFT releases these blocks through affirmations of accepting and loving ourselves, and by activating specific acupressure points which open energy flows in body-mind.

I have a few suggestions for you:

- Get a good book on EFT and study it so you learn how to not only tap for present feelings but explore ways to best treat various kinds of problems and change them permanently. There are many books and CD's available. One I recommend is Patricia Carrington's "Discover the Power of Meridian Tapping".

- When in public places like work,instead of tapping use Secret EFT... visualize your tapping or see little lights at each point. Or you can sit with a finger holding one point at a time without tapping, so you just seem to be thoughtful for a moment. I always suggest taking a deep breath with each point, whatever method you use.

- Do some rounds with phrases like ===

"Even though I get distracted, I deeply love and accept myself."
"Even though I'm not sure this is working ......"

The idea is... You can use EFT for anything and everything.
