Blocked energy channels in the body often show up as negative emotions- in this case anger. Long-term or unresolved anger may lead you to soothe yourself with food and result in unwanted weight. EFT helps restore your flow of energy and release your excess anger or other troubling emotions.

These two audio sessions are designed to help you release the resistance of unnecessary self-directed anger.

From the list on the Introduction page you chose statement #2 “I’m angry because …it’s not my fault that I’m overweight, it’s in my genes.”

Begin by assessing how you feel about this statement.

On a scale of 0-10 with 0 being no feeling at all and 10 being the worst this feeling has ever been, where do find yourself now?
Please record your number now. _____

Tap Map

Begin now by tapping the Karate Chop point on the side of your hand continuously and say the following statements out loud.

“Even though it’s not my fault that I’m overweight because it’s in my genes, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though it’s because of genetics that I’m so overweight, and I wish people would leave me alone about my weight, I still deeply and completely accept myself.”

“Even though I’m not responsible for my weight because I inherited my size from_______ and I can’t help it, but I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: it’s not my fault
Side of Eye: being overweight is in my genes
Under Eye: my weight is because of genetics
Under Nose: this is just the way I am
Chin: I’m not responsible
Collarbone: I wish people would leave me alone about my weight
Under Arm: overweight is my inheritance
Top of Head: I can’t help being overweight

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to accept my weight and my body 100%
Side of Eye: I choose to love my body right now
Under Eye: I choose to be responsible for my body
Under Nose: I choose to appreciate my body
Chin: I choose to change only if I want to
Collarbone: I choose to forgive those who want to change me
Under Arm: I choose to forgive myself for blaming others
Top of Head: I choose to release all shame & blame about my weight and my body

* Take a deep breath
* Sip some water
*Write down your intensity #__________

Notice any changes in your perception or awareness of the problem. Does it seem more intense? More distant? Stronger or weaker? More important or less important? Do you sense relief or a releasing of something?

Notice changes in your body. Does any part of your body hurt or feel better than it did before this round of tapping? Do you feel more relaxed? Are there any new sensations like tingling? A gentle calmness? Numbness? Warmth? Nausea or a calming in the stomach? Vision changes? Changes in your breathing? A lighter or heavier feeling?

If your changes are positive and your intensity has dropped to 0 or 1, it’s likely that you have resolved this issue because the blocked energy has been released.

If you are not at a 0 or 1, it means you still have some intensity around this issue or some aspect of it, and more EFT rounds will be needed to clear it from your energy channels. In this case, move on to Round 2.

Round 2

Acceptance is key in releasing anger. It is only by giving up your resistance to loving yourself and beginning to accept every part of yourself that the healing truly begins. EFT helps bring this about in a subtle and natural way.

“Even though I want my weight to be someone else’s fault, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I’m afraid that I can’t change, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I feel hopeless when it comes to my weight and my body shape, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I want to blame someone else for my weight
Side of Eye: I can’t change
Under Eye: I feel hopeless and helpless
Under Nose: this is who I am
Chin: I can’t change who I am
Collarbone: I feel overwhelmed by the thought of changing
Under Arm: who would I be without this weight?
Top of Head: it’s not safe to change

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to accept responsibility for myself
Side of Eye: I choose to begin to consider changing myself -for me
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from the fear of change
Under Nose: I choose to empower myself to make new choices
Chin: I choose to feel a glimmer of hope that I can change
Collarbone: I choose to begin releasing my self doubts
Under Arm: I choose to accept every part of myself now
Top of Head: I choose to consider who I can become

* Take a deep breath
* Sip some water
*Write down your intensity #__________

Notice any changes in your perception or awareness of the problem and jot these down. Did any memories show up? Did any pictures form in your mind as you were tapping?

Now, use what you wrote down to decide what to tap on next. Create a new “Even though…” set up statement about your thoughts and any changes you experienced, then continue tapping in the same EFT sequence as the last two rounds.

Be aware of changes in the issue itself. For example, if you originally rated your anger about taking responsibility for your weight at an 8 intensity and now it's about a 3, look for a shift into a new aspect.

Maybe you're not as angry now, but instead you notice that you feel hurt and sad because you were not accepted for who you are. Your next set up statement could be something like this:

"Even though I feel so sad and hurt because _________ would never accept me for who I am, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

OR

“Even though I feel so hurt and sad that I was never good enough for ________, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

Be very expressive in your next EFT rounds and even let your set up statements be long and rambling. Put as much feeling into your words as possible because this is what changes your energy patterns.

Trust your instincts and follow your intuition. Like most anything, you will get better and better at this the more you do it.
