Always focus on the feeling that you are trying to neutralize.

The way that all change-work methods work is that you hold a good/neutral state at the same time as you hold a bad-feeling state.

It is a property of our bodies/minds that, when this happens, we naturally release the bad-feeling state in favor of the good/neutral one.

With EFT, the good-feeling state is elicited by tapping on the body's energy meridians but you could equally use a trigger gesture/word, self-questioning...anything you like really.

Just as a sidepoint, knowing this principle, you can now invent an infinite number of change-work methods...you just need to come up with some way to elicit a good-feeling state within someone while they focus on the bad-feeling state at the same time.

For example, when I pick my nose it makes me feel relatively good.

Therefore I now proclaim the creation of my Nose-Finger Touching method.

• Step 1 - Pick your nose with your index finger and really enjoy it
• Step 2 - Think of your "issue" as you pick your nose
• Step 3 - You are now "cured" of your problem - for now :)

Nose-Finger Touching shall hereby be known as NFT and I shall be writing a book about it shortly ;)

Here are the best ways that work for me:

• First focus on emotion, amplify it and give it a name (for example: "fear of loss"). Focus on word+emotion and begin to tap. Now focus on the physical tapping sensation only. Just say the name of the emotion at each tapping point once and focus on tapping only.

• If this doesn't seem to work, first focus on the emotion in your inner body ("Where in my body do I feel the emotion?") without naming it. Focus on feeling only for about 20 seconds (without tapping). Then say "this feeling" once at each tapping point and tap and focus on the physical tapping sensation only.

• Sometimes the emotion can be so intense and overwhelming that it's hard to maintain focus. Then focus on feeling and tap slowly. And ask yourself: Which feels better? Does the negative emotion feel better or does the sensation of the tap on my skin feel better? And compare both sensations. Focus 2-3 seconds on emotion and then 2-3 seconds on the tapping sensation to compare both of them so you can answer the question honestly...and keep tapping.

I find it also beneficial to change speed of tapping often. So tap slowly, then a little bit faster and then in slow motion, then very fast etc. This too helps to "break the trance state" when the emotion is too overwhelming.

Here is a video by Robert Smith about Faster Eft which I found very helpful and might have relevance to this question. Thanks.

First sit and make thine eyes single focus on a point in front of you that is not there with open eyes so that you do not fall asleep.

Second peace be still,wait and trust in God with faith. third seek the truth observe what is seen on the water that trouble you darkness and storm observe and understand the futility. once it is understand it will fall of its own each piece of the puzzle like a domino one piece after the other until you get a perfect image. Clean the cup inside out.

Third follow the light in to all truth, until the two(water and spirit) become one with out fear you can cross the last door out of the vessel and go above. this third part takes more then 40 days in some case more then 40 years.
