I have heard some people say that EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or Meridian Tapping is not lasting, that the pain comes back or the issue gets better as long as the tapping is performed but it is not lasting. I beg to differ!

When I do quickies for pain, it is mainly to show that there is power in the technique and I also warn them that the pain may come back the next day. I put that warning in because the underlying issue was not addressed. It will take a full session to determine an underlying issue and even then there may be a tangle of issues or even a past life issue involved.

An alternative to an in-depth psychoanalysis is to tap daily for the pain when ever it comes up. I have done this myself. I would tap physically or mentally on the pain, not knowing why the pain was there. It would take about two to three weeks of tapping, each time I would drop the pain to a one or a zero, finally one day I would notice that the pain was gone and I had not tapped for a couple of days.

I figure that whatever the issue was had finally resolved either in living my life or from the tapping. One explanation is that each tapping session where the pain or issue if brought down to a zero means that another tree in your emotional forest has been topped. Not chopped down, just topped. Then the next tree associated with that pain pops up the next day and you top it. You eventually have the original tree sticking above the other issues again and you top it again and so it goes until all the trees associated with that pain or issue are leveled.

So don’t give up! Some things worth doing take a little effort. We have come to expect instant gratification and success and EFT is about as instant as you can get in terms of emotional release however some work may be required in the form of self-searching for the cause or consistent, persistent use of the procedure.
