This packet has worksheets, diagrams and reminders to assist in your learning, and to use for your practice. The worksheets are great for a reminder of the process, keeping track of your issues, and having a journal of how the process is working for you. It is not necessary to purchase more materials to learn EFT. Once you have learned the technique, whether through a class or on your own, you can use the technique from that point forward.

Put EFT in your back pocket as a technique which will go a long way toward ending your weight issues forever.

Surprisingly many people, after using EFT, will claim they never had the problem they treated in the first place. The worksheets will show how something you once thought was important, is now eliminated as an issue, to the extent you don't recall it being an issue in the first place. That's a complicated way of saying this method can work amazingly well and that's real emotional freedom!

The OneMoreBite Issues Packet contains four sheets,

1. Completed worksheet as example of how to fill in the worksheet
2. Instructions for how to do the EFT process
3. Diagram to the tapping points
4. Blank worksheet.

Overview of the tapping points:

1. SE - Side of the eye. Inside corner, near the nose. 2. OE - Outside corner of the eye. 3. UE - Under the eye. 4. UN - Under the nose. 5. CH - Chin. 6. CB - Collar bone. Not on the bone itself, but just under it. 7. UA - Under the arm, about where the bra stap on a lady would be.

I remember this by thinking of drawing a big question mark on my face, starting from point No. 1, out to point No. 2, back to point No. 3, and then down from point No. 4. Once you go through the various tapping points a few times, it's very easy to remember the various points.

You'll be using a light tapping touch, hard enough to feel, but not so hard as to bruise yourself. Gentle, but not so gentle that you barely notice. Tap five to seven times on each point, about the same amount of time it takes to say your reminder phrase. This process is described in the packet referred to above.

Follow the instructions, read along as you practice tapping. Think of an issue, rate the level of distress, write it down on your worksheet, proceed through the process, then re-rate the level of distress. That's it! Simple.
