Advancing Your EFT Skills

Developing Your EFT Skills Further

Having done the introductory Level 1 EFT Workshop and completed the foundational Level 2 EFT Workshop is not the end of the road as far as developing your EFT skills is concerned. There are many options and possibilities for further advancing your skills and confidence in using this amazingly useful tool, including the advanced Level 3 EFT Workshop (see below). There is MUCH more to learn about how you can use it and what it can be used for. Some of the options are described below.

EFT Information and Skills

To become truly competent at anything takes time and practice and requires some commitment. Becoming competent at using EFT includes studying the EFT manual and articles on EFT, getting lots of practice, getting all your questions answered, continuing to use it (even if only with oneself) until you become thoroughly familiar with it and (like any other tool) know what to do "when it doesn't work" or a problem seems to "comes back".

You especially need to become thoroughly familiar with the materials covered in the Level 2 (Foundational) EFT Workshop. These are your essential skills and they make a HUGE difference but are not hard to learn. You can re-do some or all of the four foundational workshop modules one or several times (which can be re-done at very low cost). This is encouraged as it helps you to "settle down" with the techniques and assimilate and integrate the information and tools. Gradually, your confidence builds more and more and your results become more consistent and more profound (by being able to heal emotional issues at a deeper level).

If you haven't already done so, it is essential that you download the 79 page EFT manual written by Gary Craig (from The EFT Course videos) and read it thoroughly. It is free.

Study all the documents and articles that you were given on the introductory and foundational workshops. They were included because they contain vital information about using EFT.

You can obtain a copy of Gary Craig's The EFT Course videos (which are now available as DVDs) and watch these videos a number of times. The DVDs which make up this set include many actual EFT sessions showing EFT being used for a variety of issues. If you don't have a set, they can be purchased from the EFT web site (www.emofree.com). The DVDs are very inexpensive. If you want to become really good at using EFT, watching "The EFT Course" videos is a critical part of your learning! You will learn much from watching the master and get "a feel" for how EFT is done (which is hard to get purely from written materials). In addition to that, there are also six other sets of EFT DVDs which follow on from that (with more to come as EFT continues to evolve and develop). They are best watched in the sequence of their release dates.

After completing the above Level 2 EFT Workshop, your options for further development include:

attending EFT practice sessions (ask when these are being held).
re-reading all the handouts and articles from the EFT workshops you have done,
re-doing the Level 2 Workshop again until you feel comfortable with all the information and techniques,
reading and re-reading Gary Craig's EFT manual (this is important!),
watching and re-watching Gary Craig's EFT Course videos (this is vital!),
studying and re-studying the tutorials on Gary Craig's web site (this is a must!) and reading the many other articles on his site,
getting on Gary's free bi-weekly newsletter (make sure you do this!) and reading the articles he refers to in each edition,
subscribing to some other EFT internet mailing lists,
reading some of the books now available on EFT and "energy psychology",
if possible, have some personal coaching in using the various EFT techniques with a competent EFT trainer,
having private (one-on-one) EFT sessions with an experienced EFT practitioner to work on your own emotional issues,
teaming up with someone else who has done the foundational or the advanced EFT Workshop and working with each other (highly recommended),
do the advanced Level 3 EFT Workshop.

It's open-ended. .

The Advanced EFT Workshop

When you feel comfortable with the materials in the Level 2 EFT Workshop (or you already have these skills), do the advanced Level 3 EFT Workshop to expand your skills even further. This is a big step forward and would be of particular interest to those who wish to become really proficient and skilled in using EFT (for use with oneself or with others). If your main focus is on helping yourself, then it pays to become as proficient as you can - as you are your own practioner! This advanced workshop reviews the most essential EFT skills and teaches advanced EFT skills and adds two other energy techniques to your "toolkit" that are also effective and complement EFT.

Who would want to become a skilled EFT practitioner? Anyone who is serious about their own personal and spiritual growth or in helping friends, family or colleagues with EFT plus those who want to develop their skills to work at a professional level. This workshop provides a toolkit of useful and effective clearing tools with EFT as the golden centre-piece and primary technique.

A training group for those who have done the advanced EFT workshop now exists and from this point on will meet regularly. Here we get to practice using EFT, get questions answered, share our successes with EFT, observe demonstrations, and (although mainly a training activity) also get to work on our own issues.

The Power of Now

I also strongly recommend that you read and re-read the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. It is VERY useful and introduces a way of looking at the human condition that opens the door to healing our accumulated emotional pain (which lies at the root of our deepest personal issues). It also enhances the results we can get with EFT by helping to develop our skills as a conscious "observer" and to highlight the most important things to tap on.

In this book, Tolle stresses the importance and workability of accepting and observing our negative feelings and emotions, rather than resisting, avoiding or repressing them. For some who have major emotional issues or highly resistant problems, this book may be the catalyst that will open the door and allow EFT to heal more effectively and more deeply. Combining the simple spiritual concepts and exercises presented and expressed (without dogma) in The Power of Now book with the amazing effectiveness of EFT results in a powerful synergy.

Private Sessions

I am also here to help if you would like to have some private EFT sessions or to explore some of the other possibilities that the technology of clearing has to offer.

With skill and persistence, EFT has the potential to VASTLY enhance the quality of your life and relationships as it already has for TENS OF THOUSANDS of others world-wide.
