Disrupted 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 #8:
“I’m angry because…. even if I lose the weight, I’ll still have to deal with unwanted attention from ________.”

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?

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 even if I lose the weight and look great, I’ll still have to worry about getting unwanted attention from _________, but I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I don’t want __________ to notice me, and I’d rather stay out of the spotlight, I deeply and completely accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I wish I could lose the weight but be unnoticed by __________, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I’m conflicted about losing weight
Side of Eye: I’ll still have to worry
Under Eye: I don’t want attention
Under Nose: I don’t want to be in the spotlight
Chin: I want to be thin
Collarbone: I don’t want to be noticed
Under Arm: I want to avoid extra attention
Top of Head: I’ll still have to worry

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to release my anger now
Side of Eye: I choose to notice what my anger is trying to tell me
Under Eye: I choose to free myself from worry
Under Nose: I choose to be at peace with my body
Chin: I choose to release my worry
Collarbone: I choose to free myself from my anger
Under Arm: I choose to give myself permission to accept myself just as I am
Top of Head: I choose to become aware of how my anger is trying to help me

* 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 is specifically designed to help you did this.

More about Acceptance

“Even though I’m afraid to attract attention to myself from _________because it makes me feel vulnerable, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I don’t feel safe when I’m thin and look nice because I feel threatened when I attract attention to myself, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

“Even though I wish I could be thin and still feel safe at the same time, but I don’t, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.”

Eyebrow: I feel so vulnerable
Side of Eye: scared to call attention to myself
Under Eye: it’s not safe to stand out
Under Nose: I don’t feel safe being thin
Chin: I feel threatened when I’m thin
Collarbone: I want to be thin but invisible
Under Arm: I can’t be thin and safe at the same time
Top of Head: my weight keeps me safe

Choices

Eyebrow: I choose to begin to feel safe
Side of Eye: I choose to release my fears
Under Eye: I choose to be thin and feel safe
Under Nose: I choose to feel peaceful about my body
Chin: I choose to release my worry
Collarbone: I choose to feel safe at any weight
Under Arm: I choose give myself permission to accept myself just as I am
Top of Head: I choose to release this conflict

*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 having to deal with unwanted attention when you’re thin at a 9, and now you’re at about a 2, look for a shift into a new aspect of the problem. EFT gently guides you to new aspects of the issue as you are ready to deal with them.

You may have moved from anger in Round 1 to a feeling of fear and vulnerability in Round 2. But now you’re beginning to wonder why being thin makes you feel so vulnerable.
Your next EFT set up statement could go something like this:

"Even though the last time I was thin_________ happened, but I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

OR

“Even though I’m scared to be thin again because________, I still deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway."

Be very expressive in your next 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.

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