Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a new form of needle-less acupuncture which is changing lives. Suitable for removing negative issues, or improving positive aspects of life, EFT can help with both emotional and physical ailments. Tapping with the fingertips on specific points of meridian channels, discovered thousands of years ago by the Chinese, can help disentangle an emotion or physical sensation from the reaction our energy system has to it.

When it comes to performance issues of any nature, including generating more income, EFT can be applied generally in 2 ways: either on a belief around what we are trying to achieve, or applied to ?blocks to abundance?.

To attract anything into your life, you must believe on several levels. You must believe it is possible, i.e. are you following a proven path that someone else already has? You must believe you have the ability, or competence, to achieve your desired income. Do you have the skills and qualifications you need? But, most importantly, you must believe you deserve that level of income. This is the version I see most often with private clients and this is where I want to focus our EFT for maximum results.

Most performance issues are deservingness issues. The stockbroker working for a firm might not believe he deserves to earn $X for his firm. When he reaches a certain internal glass ceiling of earnings he may become anxious, angry, or worried. The associations we have tied in from the past, to excelling or succeeding in life, can stay with us.

To improve your deservingness, begin to think of what memories or associations you may have tied up with the emotions of the current situation in which you're trying to do better. Make the connection between what specific things you're seeing, hearing or feeling in the situation you're having difficulty with, and the situations from the past from which your unconscious mind may have learned what you currently believe. How do you know you're not good enough to earn $X? Who or what events told you so? If we were to indict some evidentiary experiences here today that caused this belief, what would they be? Sometimes asking friends or relatives about memories from early life can help. Now apply EFT tapping to those memories or associations, e.g. ?Even though my teacher said no-one likes a cocky person?? or ?Even though someone passed away the last time I?? Sometimes working with an experienced Practitioner along these lines can pay dividends as they can keep track of memories coming up, and help you navigate the session, while you remain focussed ?in? the memories for maximum EFT results.

Other blocks to abundance will be other associations we've built up along the path of life. What happened the last time you were this successful/ put yourself out there, earned this much, got this much praise, received an award, etc. In what ways might you have learned, on an unconscious level, that success is bad?

Thinking laterally about such learnings, and applying EFT tapping to each will bring relief from the self-sabotage learned by association, and will bring you the income you truly deserve.
