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 #7:
“I’m angry because…. people don’t try to get to know me, they only see my overweight body.””

Back to EFT for Anger & Weight List

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 jot the number down 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. Be sure to fill in the blanks with what ever comes to mind.

“Even though I’m angry because people don’t try to get to know me because all they see is my overweight body, but I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I feel so rejected because people don’t try to get to know me, but I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though everyone says ‘you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover’, but that’s exactly what they do, and I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: they don’t want to know me
Side of Eye: I feel rejected
Under Eye: they judge me before they know me
Under Nose: I feel rejected and judged
Chin: they always judge my outside
Collarbone: they never even meet the real me
Under Arm: I never have a chance to make friends
Top of Head: they always judge my body first

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to release my anger now
Side of Eye: I choose to forgive them for judging me
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from my own judgments
Under Nose: I choose to be at peace with my body
Chin: I choose to release my resentments
Collarbone: I choose to free myself from my anger
Under Arm: I choose give myself permission to accept myself just as I am
Top of Head: I choose to release my self-resentments

* 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 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 facilitate self-worth in a gentle and natural way.

More about Acceptance

“Even though I feel very alone because no one tries to get to know me, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though it’s my weight that keeps others from getting to know me and I’m always alone, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I feel profoundly alone and I long for a friend, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I feel so alone
Side of Eye: this profound loneliness
Under Eye: they judge my body so I end up alone
Under Nose: my weight keeps me from having friends
Chin: If they didn’t judge my weight they’d judge my________ instead
Collarbone: I’m so alone
Under Arm: you have to be thin to have friends
Top of Head: my weight keeps me from having friends

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to judge myself as worthy of friends
Side of Eye: I choose to release my self-judgment
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from the bondage of my judgments
Under Nose: I choose to free myself from the bondage of their judgments
Chin: I choose to give myself permission to be a good friend
Collarbone: I choose to feel safe reaching out to others
Under Arm: I choose to free myself and be happy
Top of Head: I choose to give up my judgments of them

*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 others not wanting to get to know you at a 10, and now you’re at about a 3, look for a shift into a new aspect of the problem.

The beauty of EFT is that new aspects only show up when you are ready to address them. You may have moved from anger in Round 1 to a feeling of profound loneliness in Round 2.
But now you may be sensing a theme of loss in your life. You can now use EFT to explore your feelings of loss. Your next set up statement could go something like this:

"Even though I feel deep sadness over the loss of _____________, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

OR

“Even though I’ve been grieving the loss of __________ever since _________, 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 if you like. 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.
