Yes! EFT can help you to be much better at your chosen sport. Most people would think to get better at sport, work or anything where performance is measured, EFT would not be the first port-of-call. But this would be an erroneous thought, as the way EFT works is not to improve what you are doing, but to dissolve the reasons that are not doing your best.
The mother of a young man aged around 14 contacted me as her son was a county level junior golfer whose game had stalled of late. She brought him in and left us to it. After some general chat and some light questioning, I asked him to tell me what had happened prior to the onset of the issue. He said that he had been having problems with his girlfriend and we tapped on this which we cleared in one or two rounds. I then tested results to see if he was clear, by asking him to visualise himself on the first tee and tell me what he was thinking as he was taking his swing.
He explained the swing and the result was a Hooked shot. I asked what was going through his mind as he looked at the ball and he said it was his father and the argument they had over Christmas. The row was a rolling one that spread over a few hours, so I used The Film Technique to defuse each hiatus as we reached it until he was able to retell all the events of the evening without any anxiety at all. I then got him to address the ball again and swing. Again, a hooked shot. I asked what he was now thinking about as he swung.
This time it was his grandmother who had passed away a few months before. The issue that was causing concern for the lad was that he was playing golf as she died and he could not be with her. This time I had him visualise himself, sitting with his gran, holding her hand and as he tapped he spoke to her, explaining that he was playing golf and she had already told him it was OK and she knew why he couldn't be there at the end. He was able to say goodbye and accept that she was fine with him playing golf as it was his passion and what he lived for. The moment he said "goodbye" to his visualised gran, I saw the tension in his face and body just melt.
We now worked on the game again. He saw himself swing and connect with the ball and this time it was straight down the middle! I asked him to look down at the ball again and what was going through his mind. This time his focus was solely on the game and nothing else came along to interfere with this.
Two days later I was sitting at home and my work mobile rang. I answered and it was the lad's mother. She was calling to tell me that he had just come in from a tournament that he won outright! So remember, to improve physical and mental performance, work out what is blocking energy flows or unbalancing this, then tap on everything that is getting in the way of optimum focus on the desired outcome.

The Big Bang!
The group in the previous posting gave me many fantastic stories that i hope to share with my readers on this blog, but the next case I will tell you about not only shows the power of EFT to completely dissolve deeply embedded phobias, but the use of testing techniques which are so important to permanent healing.
This lady had had a fear of any "Bangs", whether doors, hands clapping and worst of all; balloons bursting. She was 59 years old and married. She still worked and lived locally. We examined her history and discovered that as a small child she was the but of pranks by her elder brothers and one event was when she was scared by one of them with bursting a balloon.
We all sat and talked to her to discover all this and at one point I asked her how she would react if someone in the audience had a balloon with them. She completely freaked and it took a while to calm here together with my reassurance that there was not a balloon to be had anywhere.
The tapping was quite straightforward with two or three rounds following a set-up which included her brother's actions as a child, ballons at birthday parties and Christmas time were particularly traumatic times; and other times when bangs had had reactions, cars backfiring etc.
Her SUDs reduced rapidly from a 10, to zero as it was a "simple" phobia with no other issues attached to it. Then, as a test, I asked the same question again; "What would you do if I said someone in here had indeed secreted a balloon about them for the occasion?" Her reaction was very calm as she said she would be interested to see herself. I explained that there was a large one, blown up and hidden behind the serving area which we used for tea and biscuits at half time. I went over and brought it out and there was not even a flinch from her. A week later she went to her 60th birthday party with loads of ballonns and bangs and not problems!
See you next time.

Phobias (Frogs/Toads) and ASPECTS
A couple of years ago I was one of three practitioners that ran an evening "Tapping Group" on a local housing estate, in their Community Centre. Many wonderful things happened here and the following story is one of them and the reason for its inclusion here, is due to the "group" effect that it had.
We were coming up to the end of the evenings work, when the group - around 12 - 14 ladies - were asked if there was anything else they would like to bring up. One lady said "I get really scared when I walk the dog at night and there are frogs about". At this point about four others said they had issues with either frogs or toads. So, as it was going to be a group tap, we took each one and asked for ONE thing that they were panicked by.
"The way they skitter about in the leaves (it was autumn)", "their slippery, shiny skin", "that tongue!", "horrible eyes", "JUMPING UP AT ME!", " that warty skin" and I'm sure, several more. So we wrote these down on the board and used them all to make the set-up phrase and then reminder phrases as we tapped around the sequence. Before we commenced we asked for the SUDs of each one and 8, 9 & 10 were the results.
We did one full round of EFT which included the fingers and Gammut sequence and the SUDs dropped appreciably. I asked then if any further aspects had surfaced - they often do once the overriding aspect(s) have been reduced - and a couple had so we added them to the reminder phases and did two more rounds of the short-cut routine. This cleared everyone down to between zero (most) and two.
They felt great and we closed the evening's proceedings. At this point, we would normally just clear away the chairs and cups etc. and the ladies would gradually wander out chatting or hanging back to ask us about personal issues. This evening however, it was like they were on speed! the doors were flung open and a grand frog-hunt was on to test their results. Remember these were women that fifteen minutes earlier were imprisoned on autumn evenings due to their fear of amphibians! They were last seen heading for the fields shouting, "There's one; oh @*"#, it's jumped away!"
A success I think. The following week they were fine and reported walking dogs and generally walking out of an evening was now something they did without thinking about the jumping, skittering, slimy menace lurking for them.
Next time - The Big Bang!

Your power to manifest - ANYTHING!
This is a short post today, but it should provide a degree of mirth, it's all about manifestation, or bringing what you want into your life. It's called "The Blue Feather Technique"!
The idea that you can manifest ANYTHING can be a bit hard to swallow for some. First-off I will say that it is not an EFT technique at all, although the Choices" technique may be employed to speed things up.
What is entailed is your concentration on something that is a rare occurrence in your normal life - a blue feather - so if you work in the Folies-Bergère or Los Vegas, pick something else! Be aware every time this object enters your life. Your WILL alone will attract blue feathers to you. If it works for blue feathers so for anything else that you concentrate on. After all: - "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." (I am assured it works just as well if you substitute "Woman"). It's all to do with the "Law of Attraction"
To use EFT ro turbo charge the process, i would use something along the lines of: Even though, I cannot recall ever seeing a blue feather and they don't normally occur in nature and i know this is going to be really hard to do; i now choose to find blue feathers in abundance, just about everywhere I look; at work; at home; at play and when doing sport or even relaxing in my favourite place.
So, give it a try and expect the best!
