How to use this book

First of all, I thank you for taking the time to read this book. I

sincerely hope you will benefit greatly from tapping through these

programs.

This book targets 5 major blocks that stand in the way of success

with anything that you may be trying to achieve.

You can tap on each of these programs in the order they are listed. Or, from the table of

contents, see which program stands out to you. Start from there, and then go one by

one. Skip any program that does not resonate with you.

If you feel the need to tap through any program more than once, by all means do so. The

message of a program gets strengthened by multiple tapping rounds.

Tapping through these programs will neutralize the base fears and blocks. It will also

bring to your attention the specific beliefs or fears that stop you. Once you are done

tapping through these base programs, it should become easier to focus on the problem-

specific issues.

Say for example, you are aiming to lose some weight but are stuck at a certain weight.

Tapping through the program “How to Use Emotional Freedom Technique to Get

Unstuck” could get things moving. With that change, it may come to your attention that

you were stuck because of hidden resistance to taking the next step. You can take up

that issue next and tap it away.

You can also print out the programs and tap through them at your leisure.

If at any time you need help or clarifications, please feel free to write to me at

[e-mail]. I will be happy to help you.

How to Use Emotional Freedom Technique to Get Unstuck

Do you often find yourself wishing how it would be if your life got better? If you earned more

money, if you had more time to yourself, more fulfilling relationships, more fun7 Then what’s

stopping you from getting there? Maybe you learned early on that when things change, even

for the better, they often come with side effects that may not be so palatable.

Such incidents or conditioning can instill fear of change in our minds. So even if

we apparently want to change things for the better, part of us is not really looking forward to

the actual change. And it keeps us where we are.

How about we try Emotional Freedom Technique to tap on this internal resistance that’s

working overtime to keep us stuck?

EFT tapping set up

Karate chop

Even though I’m stuck and it feels frustrating and disempowering, I wish I could develop the

courage and insight to drive my bus into a happy, thriving future without the debilitating fear

of running into insurmountable challenges.

Even though I desperately need for things to move in a positive direction, but they seem

stuck, even so I’m open to learning what else or how differently I can do things in order to

unstuck myself.

Even though part of me is aching for things to change and for my life to become better,

another part of me is uncomfortable about the idea of shaking things up. I wish all parts of

me would team up for my highest good and happiness instead of fighting among themselves.

The days of my life are just passing by.

What if I could unstuck myself

Under the eye by the flip of a switch?

Under the nose

And that flip was my intention

to change things up?

But part of me will be uncomfortable

Under the arm

if things change.

Top of the head

So it is keeping me where I am

EFT Tapping Round #3

Eyebrow

in order to keep me safe.

Side of the eye

This part of me feels okay

Under the eye dealing with the known problems.

Under the nose

This part of me is afraid

of what it cannot see yet.

Who knows what hidden dangers

Under the arm

might pop up if things change?

Top of the head

What if things change

At least I’m okay where I am.

Under the eye

But part of me wants a better life.

Under the nose

What if I cannot come back to this state?

hidden downsides that I later discover

They say there’s always a price to pay.

What if the price of change is too high?

Chin

I’m not willing to risk that much.

Collar Bone

What I wish for so much right now,

Under the arm

what if it became a pain in the neck later?

Then I’ll blame myself for wanting this change.

But what if change came nicely?

What if life just flowed into

Tapping Yourself Out of the Success Eludes Me Funk

Maybe you are working to lose weight, searching for your soul mate, managing a difficult job,

trying to get a book published, practicing to learn a new skill, trying to carve a niche for

yourself, or trying to stick to a resolution.

When you started out, you were all worked up and raring to go. But there are often moments

when our spirits fall and it feels like we are getting nowhere with all the work we’re putting in.

These are dangerous times, since they can influence us to call it quits, even if success is just

round the bend.

The same things that got us all excited and frothing at the leash can start to seem like a

burden if we don’t meet success somewhere soon-ish along the way. How about we try EFT

tapping to see if we can pull ourselves out of such despair?

EFT tapping set up

Karate Chop

Even though I’m feeling stunted and held back, I wish I could blow away all the obstacles

and rise out of this quagmire. I’m disappointed enough to shake up things a bit.

Even though I’m trying to do my best, but obviously my best is not good enough, even so I’m

open to learning newer ways of doing things that will attract success.

Even though I should have tasted more success by now, what if I could use this

disappointment to whet my appetite for greater success?

Even though a part of me is not comfortable with the idea of success, I wish I could release

this hesitation and forge ahead with confidence and enthusiasm.

EFT Tapping Round #1

Eyebrow

I’m feeling so stunted.

Side of the eye

I try so hard

Under the eye

only to get dismal results!

Under the nose

It’s like all my efforts

Tap Easy

Chin

are sinking into a bottomless pit!

Collar Bone

Success has become this elusive thing.

Under the arm

Even if it comes easily to others.

Top of the head

I’m doing everything I can.

EFT Tapping Round #2

Eyebrow

Then what’s missing?

Side of the eye

Maybe I don’t want to know.

Under the eye

Because if I knew what’s missing,

Under the nose

I’d have to come out of my comfort zone

Chin

and do things differently.

Collar Bone

That might create more work to do.

Under the arm

If I knew what I could do to succeed

Top of the head

it would invalidate

EFT Tapping Round #3

Eyebrow

what I’ve been doing already.

Side of the eye

I’ll feel like I wasted time

Under the eye

and that I wasn’t good enough all this while.

Under the nose

I want to succeed with what I’m doing.

Chin

What if inspiration came to me in a way

Collar Bone

that actually complemented my approach

Under the arm

instead of being at tangents to it?

Top of the head

I’m open to that kind of inspiration, yes.

EFT Tapping Round #4

Eyebrow

Maybe a part of me wants to

Side of the eye

keep me here and not let me rise.

Under the eye

This part of me is afraid that

Under the nose

I’ll have to exert myself more,

Chin

I’ll have no excuses to sit and sulk

Collar Bone

if I achieve success.

Under the arm

What if I could take success in my stride?

Top of the head

Part of me thinks it is very tough

Tap Easy

EFT Tapping Round #5

Eyebrow

to succeed in this cold, hard world.

Side of the eye

What if it didn’t have to be this hard?

Under the eye

What if I could make it easier for myself?

Under the nose

But I’m not as good as others.

Chin

Even if I’m not the best

Collar Bone

what if I’m good enough?

Under the arm

What if I can see the good in myself

Top of the head

easily, and let others see it too?

EFT Tapping Round #6

Eyebrow

What if I became too successful

Side of the eye

for my own good?

Under the eye

What if success corrupts me

Under the nose

and I become a bad person?

Chin

This belief was acquired

Collar Bone

long ago, but I’m now smart enough

Under the arm

not to misuse success. I’d rather think

Top of the head

of the joy, and pride that comes with it.

EFT Tapping Round #7

Eyebrow

My fearing success is a poor excuse

Side of the eye

to keep me in my tracks.

Under the eye

What about the crime I’m committing

Under the nose

against myself by keeping me

Chin

where I am, spinning my wheels?

Collar Bone

Maybe I can free myself bit by bit.

Under the arm

Success can and is coming to me, safely and easily.

Top of the head

I’m feeling confident, and ready for success!

EFT Tapping when Sincere Efforts Bring Dismal Results

Are you trying hard to lose weight, make a difficult relationship work, striving for a hard to

come by promotion at work, making ends meet? Or anything else you’re putting tons of effort

in, but ending up with unsatisfactory returns?

We often feel the urge to associate ourselves with a goal that shows promise of benefit to us

or others. But as days go by, as we put in more and more effort, our expectations rise too.

Sometimes those expectations aren’t met at the rate we expect.

At such times we start to question the worthiness of the cause and whether we are simply

wasting our time. This tug-of-war can prevent us from moving forward or backward. How

about we try tapping to see if we can clear the fog surrounding this issue? Focus on any

such matter in your life and tap along!

EFT tapping set up

Karate chop

Even though I’ve been working my butt off on this goal, and not a speck of hope in sight, I

wish I knew how I could improve my chances of measurable success.

Even though it sucks that all my efforts are just meeting a dead end, I wish things would take

a turn for the better. I wish I knew how to drive my bus to success.

Even though it all seems like a thankless job that no one cares about, and I’m myself

exhausted, I wish I could strike a balance between my life and my goal. Things have got to

become simpler!

EFT Tapping Round #1

Eyebrow

Why am I even bothering to do anything?

Side of the eye

It looks like a hopeless case anyway.

Under the eye

It’s a lost cause.

Under the nose

I’m trying so hard to make things work.

Chin

I’m reaching nowhere with this.

Collar Bone

I’ll only regret the time and energy

Tap Easy

11

Under the arm

I’m investing into this matter.

Top of the head

It sure looks like a thankless job.

EFT Tapping Round #2

Eyebrow

Why does this happen to me?

Side of the eye

I could be enjoying myself

Under the eye

instead of wasting my time with this.

Under the nose

Nobody gives a damn anyway.

Chin

It looks like there’s a ceiling

Collar Bone

to how much success I can get with this.

Under the arm

Doesn’t matter how much ground I cover

Top of the head

it’s all going to come to a naught anyway.

EFT Tapping Round #3

Eyebrow

I’m already setting myself up

Side of the eye

for disappointment, ain’t I?

Under the eye

This disappointment is eating into

Under the nose

my joy and expectations from this goal.

Chin

I feel overworked and overwhelmed!

Collar Bone

What if I didn’t have to kill myself over it?

Under the arm

What if I could have a life outside of this cause?

Top of the head

What if things got simpler?

EFT Tapping Round #4

Eyebrow

And easier? I’d like that.

Side of the eye

What if I could ask for help?

Under the eye

What if I could decide better about my priorities?

Under the nose

I choose to detach myself enough

Chin

to get a clearer view of the situation.

Collar Bone

So I can do what needs doing.

Under the arm

And release what is simply overkill.

Top of the head

I choose to be fair, to myself and my goal.

Tap Easy

12

EFT Tapping Round #5

Eyebrow

I choose to strive for a balance

Side of the eye

such that I neither feel guilty

for ignoring things nor victimized

for spreading myself too thin.

I choose to be happy about whatever I do.

Collar Bone

I choose to give myself an honest chance

Under the arm

of doing justice to this cause.

Choosing to ask myself about my true intentions,

EFT Tapping Round #6

Eyebrow

my purpose with this cause.

Side of the eye

Knowing my purpose will help me

Under the eye

keep my eyes on the prize.

Under the nose

Even if there isn’t one in sight, yet.

Chin

I’m acknowledging the fact that

Collar Bone

there will be ups and downs.

Under the arm

Releasing this overwhelm.

Top of the head

I can do my best without it.

EFT Tapping Round #7

Eyebrow

Releasing this need to feel like a victim.

Side of the eye

Opening myself up to all the ways

Under the eye

success can come to me, simply and easily.

Under the nose

Choosing to remember to keep it

Chin

simple and easy.

Collar Bone

Allowing myself to go with the flow.

Under the arm

Asking my good sense to keep me in balance.

How to Use EFT when Past Failures Hamper Future Success

Remember a time when you tried your hand at something, and failed, miserably? Are you

letting the shadow of your past failures sabotage your present chances of success, even if

unknowingly?

Failures, and the feelings of sadness and inadequacy, can linger quietly under the surface

for years. It could be failure as a child to succeed in school work, or at sports, or as an adult

trying to make their way through the world. How about we try EFT tapping to see if we can

erase these dark writings from our walls, so we can then autograph them with shining

success?

During the tapping, think about one or more failures in your life that you often get reminded

of. Repeat tapping with different failure situations to cover as much ground as possible.

EFT tapping set up

Karate chop

Even though it hurts to even think about my past failures, it is indeed worse to know that my

past failures are preventing me from being successful now, and in the future. I wish I could

reclaim my power and start all over again.

Even though my past failures haunt me, and prevent me from being the best I can be, I wish

I could start over somehow, without the burden of these past failures.

Even though it feels counter intuitive that my future success is not really affected by my past

failed efforts, even so I’m opening up to the idea that it might be true after all. That gives me

a fresh start and feels liberating!

EFT Tapping Round #1

Eyebrow

I’ve not succeeded in the past.

Side of the eye

I’ve been a loser at most of what I’ve done.

Under the eye

These past failures are proof enough.

Under the nose

They obviously show a trend.

Chin

Whatever I do, these past failures

Collar Bone

keep sabotaging my efforts.

Tap Easy

14

Under the arm

It is true that I could have given

Top of the head

some things better attention,

EFT Tapping Round #2

Eyebrow

I could have worked harder.

Side of the eye

But all I’m left with is regret.

Under the eye

These past failures reside in every part of me.

Under the nose

They keep reminding me

Chin

not to push myself too hard

Collar Bone

since I’m doomed for failure anyway.

Under the arm

My past failures teach me

Top of the head

to rejoice in others’ failed efforts too.

EFT Tapping Round #3

Eyebrow

It is as if I’m looking for validation

Side of the eye

of failed efforts everywhere around me.

Under the eye

And within me.

Under the nose

They preemptively sabotage my efforts

Chin

to become better, to contribute better.

Collar Bone

What if I could get out

Under the arm

from under the shadow of my past failures?

Top of the head

What if I could wipe the slate clean

EFT Tapping Round #4

Eyebrow

that has my past failures written all over?

Side of the eye

What if I could learn all I need

Under the eye

from my past failures, and start afresh?

Under the nose

What if I don’t need to keep beating myself up?

Chin

What if I don’t need to hold myself back

Collar Bone

from being the best I can be?

Under the arm

These past failures are like a big rock

Top of the head

tied to my feet that keep me where I am.

Tap Easy

15

EFT Tapping Round #5

Eyebrow

What if I could instead use them

Side of the eye

as stepping stones to future success?

Under the eye

Maybe I don’t need to feel like a failure

Under the nose

in order to learn from my failures.

Chin

I choose to acknowledge the lessons

Collar Bone

from my past failures and be thankful.

Under the arm

I choose to trust that I am after all, good enough.

Top of the head

I choose to open my mind to the possibility

EFT Tapping Round #6

Eyebrow

that past failures are NOT indicative

Side of the eye

of my future success.

Under the eye

I am opening up to a whole new outlook,

Under the nose

and ideas that will steer me in newer,

Chin

better directions I never knew!

Collar Bone

I’m opening up to being pleasantly surprised

Under the arm

by how wonderful I truly am!

Top of the head

I’m welcoming success into my life, with open arms.

EFT Script to Clear Worry over How Something will Turn out

If we got a penny every time we had a worrisome thought, we’d all be billionaires, or richer.

Especially when we’re waiting to see how something will turn out, worry can scoop over our

thoughts like it’s no one’s business.

Worry is a disease, slowly eating away at our happiness and taking the joy out of our lives.

Worrying over interview results, meeting deadlines, someone’s health, financial situation and

what not! It seems like the mind needs a reason to worry, to keep us occupied.

How about we try EFT tapping to see if we can empower ourselves enough to resist this

deadly temptation with which worry seduces us?

EFT tapping set up

Karate Chop

Even though this nagging worry has taken over my mind, I deeply and completely love,

accept and forgive myself for not being able to fight it off.

Even though all avenues look grim and the future uncertain, I wish I could think and see

myself clearly out of this fog. I’m open to clarity right here, right now!

Even though I hate this uncertainty looming over me, I want to release this need to control

every single moment of my life, and be confident about my ability to handle surprises.

Even though my mind is getting bombarded with all kinds of things that could go wrong, what

if things don’t turn out so bad in reality? I wish I could be more positive and hopeful.

EFT Tapping Round #1

Eyebrow

I’m so worried. I should be.

Side of the eye

I’d be stupid if I were pretending it was all cool.

Under the eye

This worry is making my brain fuzzy.

Under the nose

It keeps conjuring scenarios in my mind

Chin

about how things can go wrong.

Collar Bone

I feel no control over how things will turn out.

Tap Easy

17

Under the arm

What if something bad happens

Top of the head

and it turns out to be my fault?

EFT Tapping Round #2

Eyebrow

Even to think positive seems crazy right now.

Side of the eye

I don’t want to be one of those “faux positive” people

Under the eye

pretending everything’s cool when it’s not.

Under the nose

I’d rather be my worrier self and be safe, at least.

Chin

What if I didn’t have to worry myself sick?

Collar Bone

What if I could ask for help?

Under the arm

What if some help could come from quarters

Top of the head

I didn’t think existed?

EFT Tapping Round #3

Eyebrow

And even if things did get worse, what if

Side of the eye

I were able to manage wonderfully

Under the eye

and come out on top, stronger and more confident?

Under the nose

Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes your stronger.

Chin

All this fear along with the worry.

Collar Bone

This fear which rises from my stomach

Under the arm

up to my throat.

Top of the head

All this uncertainty is killing me.

EFT Tapping Round #4

Eyebrow

But worry isn’t solving any problems.

Side of the eye

What if it really doesn’t turn out to be so bad?

Under the eye

I have worried about things in the past

Under the nose

that eventually turned out quite okay.

Chin

What if there were positive steps I could take?

Collar Bone

A part of me feels like I’m better prepared

Under the arm

to deal with things if they were

Top of the head

already considered as a possibility in my mind.

Tap Easy

18

EFT Tapping Round #5

Eyebrow

This part of me thinks it is keeping me safe

Side of the eye

by imagining all the things that can go wrong.

Under the eye

What if I didn’t have to know everything

Under the nose

in advance to be able to deal with it?

Chin

The truth is, I can take surprises well.

Collar Bone

Even if I don’t like to be surprised,

Under the arm

I can handle them alright.

Top of the head

I choose to do what I can best manage.

EFT Tapping Round #6

Eyebrow

I am releasing this habitual need

Side of the eye

to project grim scenarios of the future.

Under the eye

Releasing this need to scare myself silly

Under the nose

by letting my mind imagine all the

Chin

horrible things that can happen.

Collar Bone

I’m quietening my mind enough so that

Under the arm

I can hear the voice of my own good sense.

Top of the head

I’m feeling like I do have some control

EFT Tapping Round #7

Eyebrow

no matter how it turns out.

Side of the eye

I’m feeling empowered enough

Under the eye

to go along with the present

Under the nose

and flow easily into the future.

I’m allowing the good to come out

Collar Bone

of unexpected corners and alleys.

I’m allowing myself to be pleasantly surprised.
