The Animal EFT Protocol

1. Focus Your Intention

Think about the animal and what specifically you would like to release, relax, soothe or change.

2. Make A Statement Of Intent

Find a phrase or a sentence that describes the problem succinctly and clearly to you.

You can say, "Sidney has this terrible allergy." or "Sam never stops barking." or, "This brown horse is distressed." if you don't know the animals' name. This is the main part of directing your attention to the problem.

3. The Blessing

We surround the statement of intent with the words, "Even though (Sam) (is hyperactive), I deeply and profoundly love and accept (Sam)." It helps bring you closer to the animal for deeper changes and handles permission issues as well as having positive benefits for YOUR system.

4. The Full Opening Set-Up

Place your flat hand on your chest, either left or right, just above your heart. Wait until you can feel the warmth of your hand through your clothes, rub the hand round in a small circle and say the opening statement which is the statement of intent inside the blessing:

"Even though (insert name or description)(insert statement of problem), I deeply and profoundly love and accept (name or description)."

Repeat this opening statement three times in all, continuously rubbing the chest area just below the collar bone known as the Sore Spot.

5. Tapping All The Points

We now use a shortened version of the opening statement which is called the Reminder phrase and tap lightly with one or two fingers, about seven to nine times, on the following spots (either side is fine) as we say the statement of intent on each point once:

• Start Of The Eyebrow - Where the bone behind your eyebrow turns into the
  bridge of your nose.

• Corner Of The Eye - On the bone in the corner of your eye.

• Under The Eye - On the bone just below your eye, in line with your pupil if
  you look straight ahead.

• Under The Nose - Between you nose and your upper lip

• Under The Mouth - In the indentation between your chin and your lower lip

• Collarbone - In the angle formed by your collarbone and the breastbone

• Under Arm - in line with a man's nipples on the side of the body

• Thumb - all finger points are on the side of the finger facing towards you,
  in line with the nail bed

• Index Finger

• Middle Finger

• Little Finger

• Karate Chop Point - on the side of your hand, roughly in line with your life line.

• Gamut Point - on the back of your hand, just behind and between the knuckles
  of your ring and little finger.

When you're all the way through, take a deep breath in and out. You can repeat the treatment with a different statement - often something comes to your mind as you do this. Different statements create different changes, so experiment with many different forms of wording and ways of saying something until you feel comfortable.
