EFT Script: Releasing the Limiting Belief " I Have to Struggle or Fail Financially."

(This EFT script assumes that you already have a working knowledge of EFT. If you are not familiar with EFT, you can find a brief introduction to this powerful self-healing technique in my "EFT Tapping Points" webpage. For information regarding EFT trainings, you can visit http://www.eftuniverse.com, www.aamet.org, or www.energypsych.org)

Here's an EFT script to help you release the pattern of struggling financially, or have challenges on getting your finances on a healthy track.

Say this statement to yourself, "I have to struggle or fail financially." Check how true it feels in your gut (not how logical it is). Give this "truth-meter" a measurement: 0 = not true at all, 10 =  most true. Make a note of it.

Take a deep breath, and let's do some tapping. Ready?

Tap on your Karate Chop, or rub on your Sore Spot, while saying the following setup phrases (the words are suggestion only, please feel free to change them to whatever words that fit you better):


"Even though I have this subconscious belief to struggle or fail financially, I don't know what it could be yet and I would like to bring healing to it."

"Even though I have this belief to struggle or fail financially, it makes no sense but here it is, I deeply and profoundly accept myself without judgment. I wonder what could be the positive benefit of having this belief?"


"Even though I have this belief, maybe I concluded it's best to struggle or fail financially when I was a kid, or maybe I learned it from people around me, or maybe I thought that is just my lot in life, I accept myself right now and I am open to changing this belief to something that serves me better in my life."



Tap on the indicated EFT points and say the reminder phrases, as suggested below, either aloud or in your mind. You can change the reminder phrases to whatever words that fit you better.

Beginning of the EyeBrow: "This subconscious belief to struggle or fail financially."
Side of Eye: "Don't know why I would have it but I believe I do."
Under the Eye: "This powerful belief."
Under the nose: "Don't know what it could be about."
Chin: "Would be nice to figure out what it's about."
Collarbone: "I wonder what the purpose of this belief is."
Under the Arm: "This subconscious belief is trying to do something good for me but I don't know what."
Top of the head: "I am open to understanding its purpose in my life and maybe I can find a more positive belief that serves the same purpose or better."

Continue tapping on the top of your head for a few more moments or until you have some information about the purpose of the limiting belief. The information may come to you as a flash of insight, a memory, a word, an image, a scent, a sensation in your body, a sound, a taste, or an emotion. In whatever form the information comes, accept it graciously and appreciatively. If no information come to you, that's alright.

Next, continue tapping:
Beginning of the EyeBrow: "This subconscious belief to struggle or fail financially."
Side of Eye: "What would be the downside if I let it go?"
Under the Eye: "This powerful belief."
Under the nose: "What would happen if I let it go?"
Chin: "Would be nice to figure out what it's about."
Collarbone: "I wonder if I can feel safe without this subconscious belief anymore."
Under the Arm: "I wonder if I can BE safe without this subconscious belief anymore."
Top of the head: "I wonder what will change in my life without this subconscious belief? What if everything change? Am I ready for that?"

Positive rounds:

Beginning of the EyeBrow: "This subconscious belief to struggle or fail financially."
Side of Eye: "I was afraid to let it go."
Under the Eye: "But I think I am ready to do so now."
Under the nose: "What would happen if I let it go?"
Chin: "I think it would be safe for me to let go of it now."
Collarbone: "I think it is safe for me to let go of it now."
Under the Arm: "I would like to free myself from an old programming and update my system to serve my life and my family better."
Top of the head: "I would like to trust that I am safe even if I let go of this old subconscious belief."

Beginning of the EyeBrow: "This subconscious belief to struggle or fail financially."
Side of Eye: "I have been afraid to let it go before."
Under the Eye: "I appreciate my willingness and readiness to do so now."
Under the nose: "I appreciate my courage to let go of this old belief."
Chin: "I think it would be safe for me to let go of it now."
Collarbone: "I think it is safe for me to let go of it now."
Under the Arm: "I would like to free myself from an old programming and update my system to serve my life and my family better."
Top of the head: "I choose to let go of this old subconscious belief now. I choose to believe that is safe for me now to thrive financially easily and joyfully, and (...... fill in the blanks with whatever information that might have come up earlier as far as the purpose of the old subconscious belief.)"

Take a deep breath. Or several deep breaths.

What do you notice that is different within you? What memories, emotions or new thoughts popped into your mind while tapping?

Again, say this statement to yourself, "I have to struggle or fail financially." How true does the statement still feel to you? Has the truth-meter measurement changed compare to the measurement before you began tapping?

Sometimes beliefs are copied from others and sometimes they are constructed based on our past experiences. Our memories often give us a clue of how a particular belief was started.

If memories came up for you during the tapping above, your mind could be presenting you with a request to heal the memories especially if the memories have emotional intensity in them. With EFT, we can neutralize the emotional intensity in memories, and thus, begin to shift the beliefs connected with the memories.

You can enlist the assistance of a qualified EFT practitioner to help you neutralize the memories, or if you feel comfortable enough to do it yourself, you can use the Tearless Trauma Technique (developed by Gary Craig) to gently release the emotional intensity from the memories.

Do remember to take full responsibilities for your decision when you choose to tap on yourself. This means, don't go where you don't belong, stop tapping and seek professional help if you feel the intensity is too much for you to handle on your own, and please be gentle with yourself.

A Rumi Poem: A Garden Beyond Paradise

Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change,     yet the essence remains the same. Every wondrous sight will vanish, every sweet word will fade.     But do not be disheartened, The Source they come from is eternal— growing, branching out,     giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep?— That Source is within you, and this whole world     is springing up from it. The Source is full, its waters are ever-flowing;     Do not grieve,     drink your fill! Don't think it will ever run dry— This is the endless Ocean! From the moment you came into this world, a ladder was placed in front of you     that you might transcend it. From earth, you became plant, from plant you became animal. Afterwards you became a human being, endowed with knowledge, intellect and faith. Behold the body, born of dust—     how perfect ...

Giving Thanks to Your Body

(This article was first published in November 2007 Metta Center email newsletter.) In Taoism and Chinese Energy medicine, there is an exercise called "Inner Smile", where you smile at your inner organs. This exercise has a very practical purpose: self-acceptance and appreciation. This simple and gentle practice is very effective in balancing your meridian system and is very nourishing to your spirit. Here is a slightly different version of this exercise: Sit or lie comfortably. Alternatively, you can even do this exercise when you are walking or in the shower. Begin by taking several deep breaths, exhaling slowly. Allow yourself to recall the time someone extend a kindness to you and you can feel a sense of appreciation gently arising from within your heart-center. Noticing this feeling of appreciation, you bring your attention and extend this feeling to various parts of your body. Starting from the top of your head, bring your attention and appreciation to...
