Even Though I'm Afraid EFT Script

The Emotional Freedom Technique was developed by Gary Craig, now retired.

It is an effective, non-invasive technique in which you use your fingers to tap on acupuncture points on your face and in the more advanced part, on your fingers, while talking out a particular problem that makes you feel bad.

Sounds simple and it is but there's a catch. EFT tapping is like a knock and answer setup. Someone knocks at the door (that's you tapping) and you answer by asking "who's there?". The unsuspected, underlying emotions that arise from tapping is the (who's there) question.

If you are not prepared to take responsibility for any feelings that arise from the EFT tapping - which brings up the root cause of your emotional problem - don't start. You should Learn EFT and how it could benefit you.
