Tapping Script for Releasing Resistance to Tapping
For a downloadable PDF of this script, click here.
HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
Read through the statements on this script, and give each one a number between 0 and 10 which gauges the emotional charge the statement has for you. I encourage you to tap out any statement that has an emotional charge.
You may notice that when you start tapping on these statements, thoughts and feelings will arise that you can use as new tapping statements, which will then give rise to still more thoughts and feelings, which you can use to create additional tapping statements, and so on. I call this following the thread, and it’s a very efficient way to heal and release a lot of painful feelings in a short amount of time.
I recommend tapping each statement down to 0 before moving on to another one. There is a lot of material here, so just do a few statements per tapping session, or no more than an hour of tapping per session. You can return to this script at any time to tap out the remaining statements that feel charged for you, or, you can keep this script handy for any time you feel the need to tap, but you’re having a hard time getting started.
PLEASE NOTE
When doing EFT/tapping on your own, if you get stuck, aren't getting the results you want, or would simply like to have the support and guidance of an experienced professional, I recommend working with an EFT practitioner.
If you decide that this is the best course of action for you, and you would like to work with me, you can schedule a session here. If you feel that another EFT practitioner would be a better fit for you, click here to access a directory of practitioners.
