Why do you tap with two hands when applying EFT?
The original EFT as taught in Gary Craig’s manual and on the DVDs shows tapping only with one hand, I tap with two hands when applying EFT for the following reasons:
- Your energy pathways (meridians) run on both sides of the body so why not top on both.
- Your energy system is all about horizontal figure of eights that cross over from one side of the body to the other (or should if you’re healthy) so tapping with both hands and alternating with each hand at each set of points (left, right, left, right) helps the energy cross backwards and forwards.
- It’s good for helping both hemispheres of the brain connect up through the corpus callosum, improving coordination, and maybe why I don’t have to use the 9-Gamut procedure much.
I find that when I tap with both hands that I do a lot less rounds and instead spend more time at each set of points. I can usually reassess the intensity of a memory after one or two rounds as opposed to five or six rounds. Watch this video to have me guide you through the EFT Tapping Points. Give two-handed alternative sides tapping a try and let me know what’s different in the comments.
