Unlike acupressure, you tap or touch very lightly,
sending small shockwaves or soothing pulses with your breath
through the meridian system, balancing and re-energizing it
and clearing blockages as you do so. Another main difference
between the New Meridian Therapies (also sometimes called
Energy Psychology or Meridian Energy Therapies) and
acupuncture and acupressure is that you use your
intention and focus to direct which particular problem
you are working on.
Emotional Freedom Techniques by Gary Craig - is the
easiest and most user friendly of these techniques. In a
moment, you will learn how to do EFT on yourself.
When people first find out about Animal EFT, they
immediately think that it is about tapping ON animals and
ask where they should tap their animals.
Although of course animals do have a meridian system,
many of the points are in places where animals truly do not
like to be touched, never mind tapped. The wonderful thing
about Animal EFT is that you DON'T tap on the animal
directly, but you tap on yourself to make the changes
happen.
Once you have learned the simple technique, you can use
it on any problem, on any animal and you don't have to know
anything at all about their various meridian systems or
points.
So how does Animal EFT work?
When you focus your attention on an animal, you connect
your energy system with theirs.
When you keep the focus of your attention on a specific
aspect of that energy system (a problem, disease, behaviour,
state of mind and so on) and you change YOUR system by
tapping on the points, YOU ARE ALSO CHANGING THEIRS through
the connection.
This was originally discovered when a lady, distraught
because she was sitting by the side of her premature baby's
incubator and unable to touch him, treated herself for the
baby's problems and the baby responded by breathing more
easily and slower, and finding from somewhere the will to
live and to fight on more strongly than before. Since then,
thousands of people all over the world have been absolutely
astonished to find that by tapping on themselves whilst
holding another living being's problems in their mind, they
can make changes without touching them or even being in the
same room.
I don't expect you to believe this right away. I didn't
believe it either when I first heard about it. But I tell
you, when you neighbour's dog 100 yards away stops barking
after an hour just because you have tapped a round of EFT on
yourself, a shiver goes down your spine and you KNOW you
made that happen as if by magic, it is a real convincer
experience. So next, here is the Animal EFT protocol for you
to try out:
The Full Animal EFT Protocol
1. Focus Your Intention
Think about the animal and what specifically you would
like to release, soothe or change.
2. Make A Statement Of Intent
Find a phrase or a sentence that describes the problem
succinctly and clearly to you. You can say, "Sidney has this
terrible allergy." or "Sam never stops barking." or, "This
brown horse is distressed." if you don't know the animals'
name.
3. The Blessing
We surround the statement of intent with the words, "Even
though (Sam) (is hyperactive), I deeply and profoundly love
and accept (Sam)." It helps bring you closer to the animal
for deeper changes and handles permission issues as well as
having positive benefits for YOUR system.
4. The Full Opening Set-Up
Place your flat hand on your chest, either left or right,
just above your heart. Wait until you can feel the warmth of
your hand through your clothes, rub the hand round in a
small circle and say the opening statement which is the
statement of intent inside the blessing:
"Even though (insert name or description) (insert
statement of problem), I deeply and profoundly love and
accept (name or description)."
Repeat this opening statement three times in all,
continuously rubbing the chest area just below the collar
bone known as the Sore Spot.
5. Tapping All The Points
We
now use a shortened version of the opening statement which
is called the Reminder phrase and tap lightly with one or
two fingers, about seven to nine times, on the following
spots (either side is fine) as we say the statement of
intent on each point once:
Start Of The Eyebrow - Where the bone behind your
eyebrow turns into the bridge of your nose.
Corner Of The Eye - On the bone in the corner of
your eye.
Under The Eye - On the bone just below your eye,
in line with your pupil if you look straight ahead.
Under The Nose - Between you nose and your upper
lip
Under The Mouth - In the indentation between your
chin and your lower lip
Collarbone - In the angle formed by your
collarbone and the breastbone
Under Arm - in line with a man's nipples on the
side of the body
Thumb - all finger points are on the side of the
finger facing towards you, in line with the nail bed
Index Finger
Middle Finger
Little Finger
Karate Chop Point - on the side of your hand,
roughly in line with your life line.
Gamut Point - on the back of your hand, just
behind and between the knuckles
of your ring and little finger.
When you're all the way through, take a deep breath in
and out. You can repeat the treatment with a different
statement - often something comes to your mind as you do
this.
Different statements create different changes, so
experiment with many different forms of wording and ways of
saying something until you feel comfortable.

The EFT meridian balancing protocol is excellent for your
OWN immune system and state of mind and practice makes if
not perfect, much better, much faster. Try it on your own
animals and on wild animals, because when they respond with
visible changes in their behaviour to what you are doing
with YOUR energy system, you really know that you have done
some magic!
