A New Use for EFT by Patricia Carrington, Ph.D. EFT Master A storehouse of positive memories As the New Year moves in, I would like to share with you a new use of EFT that I have been using with my clients and myself, and about which I am excited. I’m certain that the uses we have found for EFT so far are but the tip of the iceberg, and that the future will bring us many more gifts along these lines—but this one is really worth trying. I have recently discovered that we can use EFT to consolidate memories of fleeting positive experiences that can occur during the day but that are usually ignored—and then to reproduce these same experiences later on so that we can resonate with a feeling of well being, goodness, optimism and appreciation any time that we want. This is obviously a desirable outcome. Those of you who are familiar with the work of Abraham-Hicks, or the popular version of their views as presented in the movie, “ The Secret” will understand why “Tapping In” the Positive with EFT changing our vibrational level (the emotional tone of our lives—which includes the tone of our entire physical being) is fundamental to creating the life we want. What is intriguing about this is that I find that we can use EFT to help achieve this goal. Even if you don’t accept the concept of vibrational levels (some people don’t), you will probably agree that being able to change your responses to life events so that you experience them differently, with relish and delight and a new sense of meaning, would be something to be desired. I have recently been using EFT to create a virtual storehouse of positive memories upon which we can draw at any given moment to change our emotional state, whenever we want. This storehouse of “captured” positive experiences can be created through the use of EFT, then later be made available to us again by using EFT at another time. The positive memories do not consist of words, sentences or mental images alone, but are made up of deeply-felt and compelling experiences that EFT can bring back to us whenever we need them.The experiences that are captured by EFT in this way are those precious fleeting moments in our lives which we may actually come into contact with far more often than we realize, but which, in the usual hassle of life, often pass by so rapidly that we barely notice them, if in fact we notice them at all. The demands made upon us in modern life can engulf us so fully that we find ourselves responding to our days negatively as we try to fight off the distress that not being able to meet all these demands creates in us—and of course we can never come close to meeting all of them! As a result, we often forget that we have within us the possibility of an amazingly deep joy in living.The exciting news is that we can use EFT to shift our awareness so that this side of ourselves that revels in life for its own sake becomes far more available to us than it is at present.
