Why Should You Tap to Zero?
May/31/13 19:22
When using EFT do you rate your issue (0-10 intensity) and then tap it ALL THE WAY TO ZERO? For some people when the issue goes down, from say an 8 to a 2, they feel so much better they stop there. Big mistake. I hope this isn't you!
Do you know what a good solid zero feels like? It is GREAT! It means the issue no longer bothers you. It means that no matter how hard you try you can no longer get worked up about it. It means you have found all of the aspects and collapsed them with tapping. And, it generally means that the issue is now uninteresting, boring, something you wonder why you ever spent so much time and energy focused on in the past. In other words, it's intensity is GONE. You have Emotional Freedom! This, my friends, feels GOOD!

If that is not enough reason to encourage you to go for the zeros consider this. Our issues are connected to other similar or related issues. And when you get yourself a a nice big zero you are actually helping to reduce the other related issues. Gary Craig has used the analogy of a forest of trees. If the trees are all of your issues and you take one tree and collapse it, due to the fact that the trees share a root system other trees in the forest will be positively affected (i.e. they will shrink or fall down).
So, when you find something to tap on take the time to collapse it completely. If you don't have time to do this all in one session it's okay. With EFT it's kind of like you have an automatic bookmark. Your issue is probably not going anywhere if you stop in the middle of a session. You can tap for a while and come back later and most likely it's still going to be there. It might have gone down some in intensity when you were busy doing something else, because after you tap you still receive the benefits for a while. So just come back to the issue at your next opportunity and stick with it until you get it to zero.
Good ideas like this one and many more are covered in the EFT Level 1 and Level 2 trainings. You can really refine your ability to get good results. Plus we have a lot of fun in the classes. You can find out all the details and register here.
As always, let me know if you have any questions. Am happy to answer them. And, remember to tap first thing in the morning. It's a great way to start your day!
