Q:        Is EFT Safe?

Yes.  EFT has no known negative side effects, however, it is still considered experimental and you should take full personal responsibility for yourself and the application of this technique and if you have any health or psychological issues you should consult a qualified health professional before putting these ideas into practice for yourself.

Q:        Will I get as good a result doing EFT for myself as I would get with an EFT   Practitioner?

One of the nice things about EFT is that you can learn the basics of how to do it in a short period of time and you do not need any special equipment.  Newcomers applying it directly to themselves can and many times do get dramatic profound results.  Some cases are more complex, however, and may require more detailed attention from an experienced EFT Practitioner.  When a person is personally experiencing a negative emotional challenge it is very hard to see beyond the situation, an EFT Practitioner can many times intuitively ask just the right question to get to the core issue of a negative memory or issue that needs to be resolved.  When you make EFT part of your lifestyle you have one of the most affordable, accessible resources to get relief from negative emotional issues that disrupt your life.  As Gary Craig, founder of EFT says,  "Try it on everything!"

Q:        What are Aspects?

This can happen quite often with EFT when you begin tapping on clearing one issue, another aspect or part of it comes up.  This could be part of the original issue or a completely different one.  You will need to address each aspect of the problem as separate problems.  Example:  Fear of flying may have many aspects such as, fear of being closed in a small space, fear of the take off, fear of the height, fear of being out of control, etc.).

Q:        How Long Does the Change Last?

EFT results are usually permanent, especially when you have cleared a very specific issue.  When a problem seems to reappear, it is often because of a different aspect of the problem showing up or it brought up another issue that is similar.  Some issues, like weight loss or smoking cessation will require consistent daily tapping and have many aspects.  Other times, the cause may be energy toxins that are electromagnetic, chemical, or food related that disrupt the body's energy system.

Q:        What If I'm Doing it the Wrong Way?

EFT is very forgiving and because it is still considered "new" many practitioners are finding more and more innovative ways to apply EFT.  As you learn the different tapping points and how to do EFT, enjoy the process and have fun with it.  Relax, you can't do it wrong, the worst that could happen is you don't get the results you want.  Don't get hung up on doing it perfectly.  Like anything else, the more you do EFT the better you'll get.  Even small children get great results.

Q:        What is Psychological Reversal?

This is very important in EFT, it basically means that the body's energy is reversed.  It is like having your batteries in backwards with the wrong polarities.  Psychological Reversal (PR) is caused by negative thinking that often happens subconsciously outside of your awareness.  The result of PR is self-sabotage, when one part of you wants to do something and the other part does not.  This is why we do the set up saying, "Even though I have this problem, I deeply and completely love and accept myself," while tapping on the Karate Chop point to correct any PR before clearing the problem.
