Coaching Modalities

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) have gained popularity as a holistic approach to addressing emotional and psychological issues. EFT, often called “Tapping,” involves gently tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on a particular issue or emotion.

While EFT has proven to be effective for many, the most common misconceptions and mistakes that individuals may make during the process have to do with engaging with your emotional response and what comes up.

As a self-help technique, EFT is accessible to all and provides benefits even for those just starting out. It is easy to find resources to enhance your understanding and application of the technique from more qualified practitioners. Seeking training leads to a greater mastery of EFT and a more effective and confident application. Alternatively, you can choose to work with a professional to experience a more powerful transformation.

This post outlines common concerns and sheds light on the nuances that can enhance the effectiveness of this powerful technique.

Ask, Align, and Act are three steps for implementing the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction in its simplest form is all about what you focus on. However, there are different ways to do this. You can choose to focus with or without awareness of the way in which you are directing your focus. What I mean by this is monitoring what you want, but also how you feel about it emotionally and whether you can ‘see’ it happening. For maximum effectiveness, you witness what you wish for and turn every aspect of it towards love.

To capture this nuance, I have developed three steps: Ask, Align, and Allow. ‘Ask’ allows you to first get clarity about what it is that you wish for and imagine for yourself. Second, ‘Align’ allows you to reflect on your level of certainty around moving forward and receiving it. And third, ‘Allow’ is taking the small inspired steps that are presented.

Give yourself a reason to celebrate by repeatedly meeting your goals and getting it done.

Staying on course with your goal commitments is not just about taking the individual steps themselves, but also about providing the most supportive environment possible for success.

As you know, any goal takes work. When you commit to changing a habit, it takes time to establish and really pay off. You have to learn it until it becomes natural or automated rote behavior.

Something that appears to be a small change, like eating more fruit and vegetables, requires changes to many different supporting behaviors. You may have to shift your shopping routines so that you have fresh fruit and vegetables on hand. Perhaps you have to learn new ways of preparing dishes. You might even need some new kitchen equipment. In addition to this, you need to adapt to how your body adjusts to a new diet – maybe you will get hungry more quickly. Break down at any one of these points may lead to not meeting your goal that day.
