Introduction: To hear some people talk, one might think that one round of the EFT Basic Recipe would cure every ailment known to the human race. Just tap, tap, tap and everyone becomes peaceful—all grievances disappear, all traumas are instantly resolved and no one grows old or dies. That’s a worthy thought, of course, but we’re not quite there yet.
If EFT had reached such perfection, there would be nothing more to learn and this Question and Answer series would be unnecessary. But because we are always seeking greater proficiency, I am dedicating a significant part of this web site to those Questions and Answers about EFT that will allow us to move forward. The questions covered in this section come from both newcomers and experienced practitioners alike. The answers are designed to assist EFT users in the “art” of this process which, hopefully, will allow us all to approach perfection--a noble goal indeed. Let’s begin.
