We have all experienced the benefits of EFT and then felt confused when trying to explain what happened to a loved one or friend. When we do it comes out something like:

“Well we tapped with the fingers… we cleared energy disruptions… we said some stuff… I don’t know how it works… its kind of like…uh ahh..”

And by this time, the person to whom you are trying to explain EFT is looking at you as if you’re speaking a foreign language.

Because EFT is so far out of most peoples experiences, not having a simple way of explaining EFT makes it hard to recommend it to others; and even accept in ourselves that EFT was responsible for the amazing changes we experienced. This section gives you a number of ways of explaining EFT. The key idea is to relate EFT to something with which you are already familiar. For example:

• EFT is a kind of emotional acupuncture targeting specific feelings and using finger tapping rather than needles.
• EFT is like talk therapy with an additional physical component which allows us to get to the issues faster and resolve them more thoroughly.
• EFT is like hypnotherapy in that we’re dealing with the mind and in addition working with the bodies subtle energies for more complete resolution of issues.
• EFT is like counselling with extra physical actions that more quickly give you true emotional freedom.

A good analogy for EFT is to think of a TV that is not tuned into a channel properly. There is a picture but it is covered in static. We feel that static as depression, anxiety, anger, etc. By tapping on meridian points with our fingers, we correct the TV tuning to show a clear picture. We experience this clear picture as a lifting of the old emotions and freedom from that issue.
