Handout for Rounds 2 and 3:
Emotional Freedom Technique: Round 2:
Re-focus on the issue. How strong is the feeling, on a scale from 1 to 10? Is it above a 2?

Bring your 2 thumbs up in front of your face and make figure 8’s while you follow your thumbs with your eyes.
Hum the “Happy Birthday” song while you continue to make figure 8’s with your thumbs. This activates the musically-oriented lobes of the brain.
If you still feel the intensity, repeat the point tapping: Top of the Head/Under Eyes/Ribs/Medial Eyes/Ears/Lateral Eyebrows/Lateral Nose/Pinkie/Chest/Anterior Deltoids/Chest Below Breast Line/Lateral Eyes/K-27’s/Upper Lip/Lower Lip/Both Lips.
Tap the lateral edge of each of your hands, saying, “Even though I am feeling this feeling, I completely love and accept myself.”
Check in with yourself. What is the intensity level?
By this time, you will probably feel relaxed, released, tired or exhausted. Or, if you still have an intensity over 2, resume Round 3.

Emotional Freedom Technique: Round 3:
Re-focus on the issue. Determine the intensity level, from 1 to 10--is it still above a 2? Make a note of this number.

If you still feel the intensity, repeat the point tapping: Top of the Head/Under Eyes/Ribs/Medial Eyes/Ears/Lateral Eyebrows/Lateral Nose/Pinkie/Chest/Anterior Deltoids/Chest Below Breast Line/Lateral Eyes/K-27’s/Upper Lip/Lower Lip/Both Lips.
Tap the lateral edge of each of your hands, saying, “Even though I am feeling this feeling, I completely love and accept myself.”

Post-Emotional Freedom Technique Check-In

Check in with yourself to see if your numbers have gone down AND when you get triggered. What specific thought are you thinking or feeling are you having?
Being conscious about the thoughts you are having will show you information about unprocessed past events that you need to address; insecurities; or possible traumas.
Pay attention each time you get triggered with this particular emotion, and if you can, go ahead and do the EFT technique whenever your feelings are triggered.
Over time, you will notice patterns. Being conscious of your patterns is an important step in the healing process.
Remember to focus on the intention to LET GO. Holding on to emotional issues is never helpful.

Identify and Replace Negative Thoughts with Positive Ones

If you can consciously identify the negative thought or feeling, state it mentally or out loud. Then change it to a positive statement, and repeat that frequently throughout the day. This re-programs your neural pathways to think positively and to re-frame negative situations.

Some examples are:
"Person X is going to let me down"… becomes "I attract and have reliable people in my life because I am reliable."

"Person Y annoys me"…becomes…"I recognize the growth opportunity this person gives me."

"I don't have enough money for this''…becomes, "I will save and create the money for this so that I can have it in my life at the right time."
