3 Tai Chi tips to Enhance the Effects of EFT

I want to briefly mention three tips from tai chi (taiji) which I believe will help EFT to work (even) better. If you've studied (taiji) or experienced acupuncture treatment for any length of time, you will be aware of these tips. It's worth bearing them in mind when you "tap".

1. When the tip of the tongue touches the ridge behind the front teeth, the "du" and "ren" channels connect together to form the basis of the "microcosmic circuit" or "lesser heavenly cycle". This is has a health-enhancing and calming effect on the mind and body.

2. Never cross the legs while performing EFT. If lying down, separate the feet slightly and lie with the legs straight. If sitting, rest both feet flat on the floor with knees slightly separated. Use a low seat of suitable height that the thighs can be parallel to the ground. Hold the back naturally balanced, upright and comfortable.

3. Breathe through the nose wherever possible. If this is difficult, try "collarbone breathing" as described in the EFT manual. Among other things, "collarbone breathing" regulates the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, which often helps to clear a blocked nose.

More tips will be posted periodically. Please subscribe to this blog to receive updates.
