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 #5:
“I’m angry because…the world caters to thin people.”

Tap Map

Begin now by tapping the Karate Chop point on the side of your hand continuously and say the following EFT statements out loud. Be sure to fill in the blanks with what ever comes to mind.

“Even though, I’m angry because it seems like everything is made for thin people, especially clothes, and it’s not fair, but I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though, I’m angry because society seems to dictate that I have to be thin to be okay, and that’s just wrong!, but even though this is how I really feel, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though, I can’t stand the way the media makes it seem as if you can only be acceptable if you're thin, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: the world caters to thin people
Side of Eye: I want to feel okay no matter what size I am
Under Eye: I can’t find nice clothes that fit my not perfect body
Under Nose: why do I have to be thin to be acceptable?
Chin: I feel like a reject because I don’t fit the thin mold
Collarbone: I’m tired of trying to fit the thin mold
Under Arm: clothes, airline seats, and even lawn chairs are made for skinny people
Top of Head: I’m sick of trying to please the world by being thin

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to release my anger now
Side of Eye: I choose to be pleased with the way I look
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from the judgments of __________
Under Nose: I choose to be at peace with myself
Chin: I choose to feel contented with my appearance
Collarbone: I choose to embrace my appearance
Under Arm: I choose to give myself permission to decide how I will look
Top of Head: I choose to define myself as __________

* 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 that you still have some intensity around this issue or some aspect of it, and more 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 this take place in a gentle and subtle way.

Notice in this round how I introduce what I call EFT Argument Tapping. This EFT method helps neutralize the conflicts of your subconscious mind, the part of your brain that controls about 95% of your behavior.

“Even though, I feel conflicted about being thin because on the one hand it would be nice, but on the other hand, I don’t want to give in to society’s demands, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I would kind of like to be thin again, I don’t want to give society the satisfaction of my giving in to it, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though, I have this conflict, I want to be thin, but I don’t want society to win, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I’d like to be thin again
Side of Eye: no, I wouldn’t
Under Eye: yes, I would
Under Nose: no, I don’t want to be thin because it would be giving in to society
Chin: yes, I do want to feel thin and light again
Collarbone: no, you cant make me give in
Under Arm: I can be thin if I want to
Top of Head: I can be thin and free if I want to

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to decide for myself what size I will be
Side of Eye: I choose to do what’s right for my body
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from society’s expectations
Under Nose: I choose to live and look the way I want
Chin: I choose to shift my perceptions now
Collarbone: I choose to release my anger now
Under Arm: I choose to use my energy in a productive way
Top of Head: I choose to keep my integrity to myself and do what's right for my body

* 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 sequence as the last two rounds.

Be aware of changes in the issue itself. For example, if you originally rated your anger about fitting into society’s thin mold at a 10, and now you’re at about a 2, look for a shift into a new aspect of the problem.

You may have moved from anger in Round 1 over to a feeling of rebellion, as found in Round 2. But now you’re beginning to sense that the rebellion is a way of identifying yourself. You can now explore these feelings using EFT. Your next set up statement could go something like this:

"Even though I was always the rebellious one in my family, and that’s still how I identify myself, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

OR

“Even though I don’t know who I would be if I weren’t rebellious about____________, 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.
