I love Gary Craig’s response to this question, and yet it is confusing for some people – you may worry that you are *tapping in* negative statements when you say the set up statement. Gary has given a very distinction between the use of affirmations and the EFT Set up Statement.

If you haven’t reviewed them lately, I also recommend the articles about affirmations in the Palace of Possibilities. He includes a weight loss example in this series that is very instructive in these tutorials and videos. I’m sure you can relate!

The number of EFT sessions needed to lose weight depends entirely on you. I can teach you basic Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) in a single session. That is enough for some people, who can then continue on their own.

It also depends on how complex the problem is and how many different aspects there are. If there are a lot of emotional issues, then it can take longer to get to the core issues.

Read this write up in Gary Craig’s newsletter, in which I worked with a woman for 12 sessions on EFT for weight loss and binge eating. She felt that she accomplished more in 12 EFT sessions than she did in many years of traditional psychotherapy.

The answer also depends on how much you do at home on your own. I find that the people who do regular EFT tapping at home and incorporate it into their daily routines get the best results.

To be successful with EFT for weight loss, you want to make EFT into a practice. Yes, Gary Craig talks about 1-minute wonders with EFT, and if you have been around long enough, you have seen them and experience them yourself. But the best use of EFT for both our bodies and minds is to practice on a regular basis to function on all cylinders.

You can easily combine EFT with many other practices. It is these rituals that we create in our lives, such as regular meditation, that create success for the long term. Creating successful habits goes a long way toward becoming more resilient and getting back on track when life brings us stress and anxiety. The regular practice of EFT is a HUGE help in terms of stress relief.

Create time for emotional freedom techniques (EFT) every day and you will create more flow and ease for your life in general. That’s a darned good thing!

You have an incredible gift with EFT right in your own hands. You have the gift to heal your weight struggles, your financial issues, and your relationships just by using EFT for weight loss regularly.

My friend was visiting me over the weekend, and she said that using EFT is the ONLY technique that got her weight loss going in the right direction. She has tried many techniques and diets and had struggled with no success for many months. We did a few quick rounds and she started losing weight right away.

The interesting thing is – she didn’t change anything in her diet! She ate like she always had. So to me, this means that the energy disruption that she had was preventing her from losing weight. When the disruption was no longer there, then the path was clear for her to lose weight without struggling – as it should be!
