You cannot always control the energy around you but you can uplift your energy with tapping.
Do you notice your energy lifting when you’re around certain people? Isn’t it a fantastic feeling to be vibrating at that level?
And then there are times when you feel completely exhausted having spent time around other people. You literally feel as though life has been sucked out of you!
Many of my clients are deeply empathic so it’s very easy for them to feel another’s pain, or distress, and it’s very tiring for them. They easily ‘take on’ what the other person is experiencing and not only feel it emotionally, but usually physically, too.
Do you experience that?
The list of five
If so I hope you’ll find my tapping transcript useful this month. But before we start tapping, take a notebook and pen and write down the five people you spend the most time with each week.
As you observe your list, notice if these people are energy boosters, or energy drainers. How much time out of your life are you spending with them? How is your body responding as you read their names? Do you find yourself smiling and feeling lighter, or sighing and feeling depleted?
The people you spend time with on a regular basis really do impact every area of your life – from mentally and emotionally, to physically, and even financially.
Who would you love to be around more so you could add them to your list of five? Really notice who fuels you when you’re around them so that your energy is revitalized and not zapped.
And of course, the flip side of that is, if there are people on your list who zap your energy, why are you spending time with them?
Tapping on feeling drained by them
If that last question created anxiety within you, then notice where the anxiety is sitting in your body, and start tapping (change the wording as necessary):
Even though she drains me, I want to accept myself anyway
Even though I have to be around her because she’s my mother/work colleague/friend, I accept how conflicted and uncomfortable I’m feeling in this moment
Even though she depletes my energy levels, I deserve to be surrounded by people who lift my energy levels
Head: I’m drained when I’m around her
Eyebrow: I feel depleted
Side of eye: I deserve to be around people who raise my energy
Under eye: but she’s my ___________ [mother, work colleague, friend, etc] and I have to be there for her
Under nose: if I didn’t spend time with her, who would I spend time with?
Chin: I’m afraid to change this situation
Collarbone: but I’m so depleted, and I deserve more
Under arm: I’m ready to spend even more time with people who lift my energy
Liver: and I’m willing to feel good about doing that
Wrists: for my own sake, I’ve decided to surround myself with people who fuel my energy!
Now close your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath. You might need to repeat this process or feel free to change the wording so it applies to how you really feel. The phrases you use are simply a way of outwardly expressing how you’re feeling. You don’t need to be creative or get hung up on finding the “perfect” wording – just state what’s on your mind.

When we use EFT, much of our success depends on the words we use as we tap.
When my clients are new to EFT, they will often say, “I don’t know what to say when I tap!” It’s been my experience over the years that they don’t know what to say because they launch into the tapping process without doing the detective work that is necessary beforehand.
Have you ever had this experience? You start with the set-up phrase, and the words are flowing nicely, and then as you start to tap the points on the body, you run out of things to say?
You’re not alone!
Many things in life require preparation: a wonderful meal can take hours of chopping, mixing, baking, and steaming, before it is ready to be served; and a beautiful melody can take days of thought, practice, and fine tuning, before it is ready to be played. The same is true of EFT. It is an incredibly simple protocol to use AND there is some ground work that is necessary before the practical application starts.
So, before you start to tap, grab a pen and paper, and be prepared to write down your thoughts and feelings.
Here are some questions for you to answer which will help you get clear, and give you more than enough to say as you tap:
1. What is the problem?
Remember to be specific here: my EFT colleague, Alina Frank, talks about the Who, What, When, and Where of the problem.
For example, ‘my boss yelled at me this morning in front of my co-workers’.
As opposed to ‘my boss always makes me feel small and unimportant’, which will have multiple aspects since it happens on a regular basis.
2. How does that feel in my body?
For example, ‘my stomach is churning’, ‘my shoulders are tight’, or ‘my solar plexus is numb’.
This is a useful way of checking to see if the problem is resolving – the body will start to relax as you tap, and the sensations will ease.
3. What is the emotion I feel now about that problem?
For example, angry, belittled, disrespected, betrayed, etc.
4. If the feeling was a picture, what would it look like?
For example, ‘a storm’, ‘a black scribble on a white page’, ‘an empty grey ball’
This is useful for people who learn visually. You may recall a picture you have seen, or you may draw a picture in your mind. Whatever comes up, write it down.
Now you have a lot of content to use as you start tapping. It’s all written down in front of you, so all you have to do is refer to your notes as you tap.
I also suggest you ask this question:
What does this problem remind me of?
Your boss yelling at you might remind you of your teacher embarrassing you in class when you were 8, so it’s important to go back to that memory and use the same questions so that you can tap on that memory also.
Now you have done the detective work, you are prepared for tapping, and your success rate will soar. Also, because you have something to say as you tap, you’ll want to tap – and there will be no resistance!

When someone is put on a pedestal, and praised and congratulated for doing something, this can feel amazing. The downside of this is he may need to live up to that again, and again – especially if he is encouraged that doing whatever it was showed him at his “best”. It’s a downside because if he can’t live up to that consistently, the praise may diminish, the adulation stops, and the criticisms/comparisons can start.
Do you ever think, “I must be the smartest/funniest/slimmest/wealthiest/most successful…I must be the best“?
That thought is often followed by, “but I’ll never make it”. It’s as though it’s a glass ceiling that stretches upwards and is never attainable.
But what is the best?
Are we really the best because of the response we get: praise, acclaim, applause? Or is it more about feeling the best in our core – being completely connected to who we are, and what we are doing in that moment.
It’s my belief that when we are completely present, and in alignment with our integrity, we are automatically resonated at a level which is our best naturally and effortlessly.
Take a pen and notebook, and write about a time when you were doing what you loved, felt completely connected to what you were doing, and felt real joy and purpose.
How did it feel? What did you see and hear? What were you thinking? Were there any feelings of reservation?
Are you able to create that sensation again?
Is it possible that in that moment, you were being your best? And doesn’t the world deserve to see the person you were in that moment even more (not someone battling to accomplish the unattainable, frustrated and overwhelmed)?
In Part 2, I’ll talk about how my client realized what the “best” was for him.

How is 2011 so far? Filled with ease and delightful surprises I hope!
Sometimes the beginning of a new year can be stressful because things are different, expectations are high, and motivation can be low. If you are feeling anxious about the changes that the New Year has brought, then you may find the tapping transcript below useful:
If you are new to EFT, please click here to view the tapping points.
With your dominant hand, tap the karate chop point on the other hand while saying the following:
Even though it’s a new year and everything is different, I deserve to feel calm and confident anyway
Even though I adjusted to the last year and it made me feel safe, I choose to believe I can adjust to the New Year just as easily
Even though I don’t like the changes that the New Year brings, what if those changes are exciting and delightful?
Even though I’m fearful of the changes the New Year will bring, I want to let go of these fears surprisingly easily
Now tap the following places while saying each of the phrases below:
Top of the head: all these changes
Eyebrow: I don’t like change
Side of the eye: everything will be different
Under the eye: everything will be unfamiliar
Under the nose: and I’m afraid of these changes
Chin: I like knowing what to expect
Collarbone: I feel safe when everything is familiar
Under the arm: I don’t like change
Top of the head: all these changes
Eyebrow: and I deserve to feel calm during the changes
Side of the eye: what if I could make some positive changes?
Under the eye: what is these changes could be surprisingly easy?
Under the nose: I’m assuming this will be hard
Chin: what if I could look at the year ahead with curiosity instead?
Collarbone: I deserve to look at this New Year positively
Under the arm: and I choose to feel safe enough to do this
Now close your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath. You might need to repeat this process or feel free to change the wording so it applies to how you really feel. The phrases you use are simply a way of outwardly expressing how you’re feeling. You don’t need to be creative or get hung up on find the “perfect” wording – just state what’s on your mind.

EFT video for you
For me, the week after Christmas is a very exciting time, as I start to consider the changes the New Year will bring; what I’ll do differently, and which visions will become reality. However, in the past, that week could be a difficult and overwhelming time. It was usually the time when I felt pressurized to make sure I had the whole of the following year planned out.
I’ve always found change challenging, and it seemed to me that I’d only just got comfortable with the current year, and I was expected to embrace an unknown New Year!
If any of this sounds familiar to you, click on the link below, and tap along with me as we use EFT to step into the New Year with confidence:
