Clients are often surprised when I tell them that I don’t sit and deliberately use EFT on myself. They imagine that I have a disciplined practice of 30 minutes a day tapping or something like that.
In fact, I rarely consciously use EFT. It’s just part of my life. If I am on the phone and find myself getting wound up, I’ll tap on the collar bone point.
If I find myself getting triggered in a conversation, I’ll tap on the points in the moment.
Once in a while, I’ll find myself stuck on something and you might find me pacing my bedroom, tapping and talking out loud.
Or if I have the sense that something deeper is brewing, I’ll get help from another professional. I actually don’t like doing the deeper work alone; I need the co-creative and safe space of another.
I also have the benefit of tapping along with clients – I indeed notice how much calmer I feel after a client session – and while part of that is indeed a sense of satisfaction with a job well done, how much of that calm feeling is from having an hour of my own tapping?
There is no wrong or right way to integrate tapping into your lives. I’d love to hear how you find yourself tapping during the day.
I found your observations delightful and valuable. The notion of praying without ceasing is one that I believe must ultimately be at the core of every spiritual practice. The things we do that punctuate our lives with spiritual thought and meditation are the glue that hold the rest of life together.
I start my coaching sessions with a period of 2-5 minutes of eyes-closed silence. During that time, I tap for clarity, focus, ease and grace in the coming discussion and for an energetic field of acceptance and love to surround me and my client. I am confident that doing so is one of the reasons I enjoy such success helping people find and pursue their own spiritual paths.
I tap on my computer when I receive the newsletters and tapping advice e-mails like yours by doing the tap-a -longs, also on “you tube” eft videos, I reckon I can get borrowing benefits that way.
