Ellen Walker, EFT-ADV : 

Ellen Walker, EFT-ADV In 2001 I became a board certified and registered Clinical Hypnotherapist. It was my intention to help others overcome the life challenges that were making them emotionally and physically sick. While hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool for this, I discovered that EFT works faster, has higher success rates, is easy to learn and is very gentle. It was not until I had my children and a few near death experiences, that I truly understood what healing was all about and how our belief system and our emotional well being are vital in the healing process.    This is my passion and what I'm all about, teaching others to help themselves.    When we love ourselves and are lovingly connected to others, we are bringing ourselves and our world into a more peaceful, balanced and harmonious place. When this loving connection is broken, "all hell breaks loose", within us and around us.  Let me gently guide you through the process of becoming that happy, healthy and peaceful person that you were intended to be. I will teach you how to manage and reverse all of your negative emotions.

The Points

A Round of Tapping : 

A Round of Tapping Identify the problem and measure its intensity from 0-10 Create a set-up and reminder phrase that is specific and accurately describes the problem Repeat set-up phrase 3 times while rubbing the sore spot Repeat reminder phrase while tapping on each of the following points 7 times: EB, SE, UE, UN, UL, CB, UA, TN, IF, MF, LF, GP, KC Repeat the above sequence Take a deep breath, and let go Check intensity level Repeat if necessary Ensure all emotional charge has gone and intensity is rated at 0

Trying EFT On Breathing : 

Trying EFT On Breathing Take a slow, deep breath and relax. Repeat again, this time notice any restriction. Rate the depth and ease of breath on a scale of 0-10. Do a round of EFT Repeat breathing and notice if there has been any change.

Tips For Improved Success : 

Tips For Improved Success Be Specific – Describe the pain, Relate to specific events, Refer to specific people. Say the setup and reminder phrases as though you mean them, own the words. Change the reminder phrase as needed to reflect the change in the problem being worked on. Say what you mean, be honest with yourself and your emotions.

Ideas For Different Problems : 

Ideas For Different Problems Pain: Describe pain (Sharp, Shooting, Dull Ache) and location (left shoulder, neck etc). Use visual image of pain (colour, size, texture). Emotion behind the pain, what is it how long has it been there? Fears: When did they start, do you know the cause? Visualise problem, get client to imagine the fear. Approach real fear slowly, treating each step of the way.

Ideas Continued: : 

Ideas Continued: Cravings: Focus on substance. Feel where in the body the craving is felt. Clear issues of loneliness, anxiety, emptiness & deprivation. Emotional Issues: Focus on the source of the emotion, who, when, where, why? Deal with specific incidents. Visualise scene. Where in the body is it felt. Use descriptive visualisation, (colour, texture, shape, location etc)

The Practical : 

The Practical Choose a partner. Decide who will be the therapist and who will be the client. Choose an issue to work on. Keep it simple for now. (Perhaps a physical discomfort, a craving, a fear of something tangible, Do not work on deep traumas) Spend 10-15mins clearing issue Swap roles and treat for 10-15mins.
