Why EFT Is a Lightsaber When I Coach Business Owners
Business owners face a wide range of challenges when running their companies. These challenges include financial issues, finding and retaining qualified talent, and managing customer relationships. They also have to deal with the competing demands of operating the business and caring for their physical, mental and spiritual health. When a business owner is introduced to guided EFT, it acts as a Lightsaber to remove negative energy, emotions and thought patterns that create mental blocks. This empowers business owners to move past their blocks and back into productive action. I use a combination of intuition and EFT to ensure business owners are equipped to handle the challenges of running a successful business.
Introduction to Emotional Freedom Technique
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is considered to be a safe and non-invasive treatment option to address emotional and psychological issues, including anxiety, phobias, traumatic memories, and negative beliefs.
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure that is based on the principles of acupuncture and applied kinesiology. It involves tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on a particular issue or problem and is typically conducted in a series of sessions with a trained practitioner.
EFT also known as “tapping”, is based on the idea that negative emotions can be relieved by tapping on certain meridian points on the body while focusing on a specific event or issue. EFT is considered a form of energy psychology and is often used in conjunction with traditional talk therapy.
Why I Choose to Add EFT Into My Coaching Process
As a business coach, I sometimes choose to use EFT in my sessions with clients for a number of reasons. One reason is that EFT can be used to help my clients identify and release negative emotions and beliefs that may be holding them back in their business or personal lives. These negative emotions and beliefs can often be unconscious, and tapping a particular point releases the energy stuck in the body. Releasing that energy may resolve some of the issues my clients are dealing with and allow new possibilities to show up.
Acting as a Lightsaber, EFT can also be used to help individuals reframe their thinking and shift their perspective on a specific issue or challenge. This can be especially helpful for business owners who are always challenged with leading people, creating cash flow, and finding solutions.
Additionally, I use EFT to help business owners to become more positive and productive. For example, if a client is struggling with procrastination or time management, EFT can be used to help them develop strategies for overcoming these challenges and improving their productivity.
How Does EFT Work
During an EFT session, the I will guide the client through the process of tapping on the meridian points of the body which are believed to be channels through which the body’s energy flows. As my client taps on the meridian points and focuses on their issue or emotion, the stuck energy is released and the body is brought into balance. When the body is in balance, there is a natural high experienced and they are now looking forward to handling the concerns currently facing them. They have access to a renewal of energy that allows them to design their life. This means that they have options versus when they were stuck.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is believed that the body’s qi (pronounced chi) flows through a network of pathways called meridians and that the meridian points are points along these pathways where the qi can be accessed and manipulated.
There are a total of 12 main meridians in the body, each of which is associated with a particular organ or system. The meridian points are located along these pathways and are thought to be connected to the body’s energy and the functioning of the associated organ or system.
During an EFT session, I will ask my client to rate the intensity of their emotion on a scale of 0-10, and the tapping will continue until the intensity has decreased significantly. There are 12 main meridian points on the body, and each one is associated with a different organ system.
The 12 EFT Meridian Points on the Body
Please note that these 12 tapping points proceed down the body, making them easy to memorize.
The BN (Below Nipple) point has been omitted, as it can be an awkward point for ladies to access and EFT results have been superb without it. This point relates to the Liver Meridian and there may be occasions where you may need to use it.
The Gamut Point
The “Gamut” point is a special point used in the 9-Gamut procedure. It is found on the back of either hand and is about 15mm behind and between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger.
The Intuitive EFT Process
EFT is a healing process that anyone can do individually when the person is ready to release, change and move on with their life. But many times, people are not able or ready to let go of the negative feelings that are holding them back when they try this technique on their own. They are also not aware of the many layers of the issue that may exist and need to be identified and released. As a coach, my job is to ask the right questions and continue digging deep to get to the root of the issue. My intuitive EFT process allows me to feel into their issue so that I can walk in their shoes and guide them through the many layers. Once the root of the problem is eliminated, it won’t return, and they will experience an abundance of energy they can use to shift the trajectory of their life. They will have physically, emotionally, and spiritually changed.
When used on a regular basis, guided EFT is a powerful tool for business owners to increase their energy and efficiency. With the help of a coach, EFT enables business owners to become more aware of their emotions, thought patterns, and beliefs and how they are affecting their performance. By recognizing their emotions and the role they play in their decision-making process, business owners can develop strategies to manage their emotions in a more effective way. This can lead to improved focus and greater levels of productivity and profitability. My intuitive EFT process serves as a lightsaber to help business owners maintain a supply of positive energy empowering them to produce the business results they desire.
