Tutorial--The Constricted Breathing Technique

(For more info see our Frequently Asked Questions section)
Return to the Tutorial Main Menu

By Gary Craig

This useful technique was first demonstrated in our DVD set EFT-Beyond the Basics (formerly Steps Toward Becoming The Ultimate Therapist) and has the following advantages...

  • It can help you find important emotional issues. This is because emotional issues often curtail our ability to breathe deeply.
  • It can demonstrate to a skeptic or a new audience the validity of EFT. This is because most people have constricted breathing and it is eye opening to experience it improving with EFT.

This is how you do it....

  • Inhale 2 or 3 maximum deep breaths. Take your time and don't hyperventilate. This step will stretch out your lungs so that any EFT improvement in your breathing cannot be attributed to a normal "stretching effect" of your lungs.
  • Once you have stretched your lungs as far as they will go then take another deep breath. This time assess the deepness of your breath on a 0-10 scale where 10 is your estimate of your maximum capacity. Numbers typically vary from 3 to 9 on this. The occasional person who rates their breath at a 10 (they are usually wrong) may find that, after EFT, they will go to a 12 or 15.
  • Then do several rounds of EFT with Setup phrases such as "Even though I have constricted breathing...", "Even though I can only fill my lungs to an 8..." and so on. In between each round, ask the client to take another deep breath and assess the 0-10 deepness. In the vast majority of cases it will keep improving.
  • During the process ask probing questions such as: "What does your constricted breath remind you of?", "When in your past did you feel constricted or smothered?", "If there was an emotional reason for your constricted breath, what might it be?" Often, they will give a big clue as to an important emotional issue.

Hope this helps, Gary
