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.

I hope this helps you to explain EFT even better so that you can qualify for the new Referral Rewards explained in the next section.

How many of us are driven to do things perfectly? Whether we have taken on this belief from over zealous parents, teachers or our own high standards, the belief that we have to do everything perfectly can severely limit us and is usually the root cause of procrastination.

If we hold perfection in too high a regard we will not start something for fear of not doing it perfectly. Can you relate to this? This is why perfection is the lowest standard.

While we should always strive to do something to a high standard, in starting out we might accept what G. K. Chesterton said "Anything worth doing is worth doing badly" -- at first!

Remember learning to drive? The first few times you couldn't even turn on the indicator and accelerate at the same time. But eventually you were able to drive the car while drinking coffee and talking on your mobile (not necessarily a good idea ;-).

So be forgiving of yourself when trying something new; give yourself permission to do it badly at first. At least then you will get started and then be able to correct your progress.

Setup - Tapping on the karate chop point say,
"Even though I have to do this perfectly, I completely love and accept myself. Even though I don't know how to do this and have been punished in the past for doing something badly, I give myself permission to make mistakes as I learn this. Even though I haven't started this because I am afraid of making mistakes, I completely love and accept myself."

Then continue on to each of the tapping points:
Head: "Afraid of doing this badly"
Eyebrow: "Fear of making mistakes"
Side of Eye: "I have to do this perfectly"
Under Eyes: "I forgive myself for making mistakes as I learn"
Under Nose: "What if I do this wrong?"
Collarbones: "I'm not allowed to make mistakes or I'll be punished"
Under Arms: "I have to do this tapping perfectly"
Wrists: "I completely love and accept myself doing something badly at first because at least then I'll get started"

You might want to do a few more rounds about your specific situation. Maybe you can recall some times when your were punished for not being perfect and tap around those as well.

Remember to own your mistakes. It is only by acknowledging what we have done that we can change it. "Correct, don't protect." -- Keith Cunningham.
