I’ve often been asked whether EFT can be used to bring about desirable changes in the world outside of oneself – to “manifest, as this activity is frequently referred to. My answer to this is both a “Yes” and a “No.”
EFT can at times bring about dramatic changes in outside circumstances (see reports of successful surrogate tapping on Gary’s site) but it will not work under some circumstances and these are important to know. I have seen EFT used to remarkable effect to bring about something that a person is fully ready to allow into their life and I will give you an example of this in a moment. At other times, however, someone may be unable to manifest something they claim to want because within the EFT statement is hidden what Gary Craig refers to as a “tail ender “. I will say more about these important blockages in a moment.
First, let me give you an example of one of the most effective uses of EFT to manifest something in the outside world that I have ever known. “Pete” is an experienced EFT’er who uses EFT in an interesting manner. He is well acquainted with the EFT Choices Method and essentially employs it, but instead of saying the words, “I choose” to introduce his positive portion of the EFT statement, he says instead, “I thank the Universe for…” and follows this with a detailed description of his desired outcome. Here’s how that works for him.
Pete’s car had seen better days. In fact, it was about to break down any minute. He wanted a new car but did not see how he could possibly afford the kind he wanted. He had been searching the internet for several months, going up to such sites as autotrader.com every day — but to no avail. The car he wanted wasn’t there.
Pete’s taste was very definite and I suggest you notice the specific manner in which he refers to what he wants, in the positive “Choices” portion of his EFT statement Gary Craig has repeatedly emphasized the importance of specificity in the negative portion of the EFT statement. Specificity in the positive portion is, I believe, equally important. You will see how Pete formulated his EFT choices with regard to the car he sought. His EFT statement went as follows:
“Even though I don’t know how this can happen, I thank the Universe for giving me a light blue Model 240 Volvo Station Wagon made in the years ‘91 to ‘93.”
You can’t be much more specific than that, and Pete diligently tapped on this EFT statement for a couple of weeks at the end of which time an interesting thing happened. The car he wanted suddenly appeared in an online listing of automobiles for sale. The ad up there offered for sale a light blue Model 240 Volvo Station Wagon manufactured in 1992. It had all the amenities Pete wanted and the crowning touch was that it was only a two hours drive from his house.
