EFT Tapping for Money: Overcoming Financial Blocks with EFT
In this article, you will learn about abundance and financial success, three types of abundance, your current relationship with money, limited blocks associated with a money mindset, and how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) help you to manifest more wealth and money in your bank account in a positive manner.
Who doesn’t want money? Who doesn’t want to get rich?
You may not say it out loud, but secretly we all want to get rich. And what's the problem with desiring more money?
Money certainly does not equate to happiness, but it surely helps you live a life of freedom and fulfillment.
“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.”
Wayne Dyer
THREE TYPES OF ABUNDANCE
Abundance encompasses a money mindset of having more than enough in various aspects of life, including love, happiness, health, time, and finances. It's about appreciating life's richness beyond material wealth.
It is the state of having a plentiful or ample quantity of something. It can be applied to various aspects of life such as money, relationships, and health.
Each type of abundance is related to another, and true abundance is only possible when a person possesses all three.
Abundance of Money and Financial Success
This means you attract money easily; you save your money, reach your financial goals, and have the confidence to let your money grow investing your wealth in short-term and long-term ways. It also implies that you can freely share your wealth with others without feeling like there is not enough money.
Abundance of Relationships
This means you attract the right relationships that make you feel fulfilled, and you invest in them to allow them to grow, even in the tough times, and do not get possessive about your relationships where you can let them have their own independent lives.
Abundance of Health
This means that you attract health and prioritise your emotional and mental well-being by investing in yourself and your growth as well as letting go of any fears connected to your physical and mental health.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY?
For a moment, close your eyes and think about how much wealth you want in life. Think freely as there are no limits to the imagination.
Now, imagine someone giving you the exact amount that you had thought of by saying, "Here you go, (your name), this is for you."
What comes to your mind and what kind of emotions do you feel when you visualise it?
Most of you would respond with a variety of responses:
- "I don't believe this is mine."
- "I don't deserve to have this!"
- "There's no point getting attached to it, it will go away anyhow."
- "It's just an imagination, and not something that's possible in reality."
If your response was something like this, you may need to do some work on your relationship with money.
To be able to do that better, let's first find out your 'money profile'!
Money Attractor
These are the kind of people who have the ability to attract money, but they are unable to hold onto it. For them, money comes in, and it leaves just as fast.
Their expenses/spending may be more than what they may be earning, which may result in more outflow as compared to the inflow of money.
Some limiting beliefs of money attractors are:
"I can't hold onto money; it just goes away."
"Money flows out, as quickly as it comes in."
"I love money, but money does not love me."
Money
Hoarder
A money hoarder is someone who keeps holding on to the money they receive. They feel compelled to hoard all the money to feel safe. They're also concerned about not being able to generate more money.
They may have a lot of the money coming, but they still find it hard to spend. As they find it difficult to spend and give, they may attract less money.
Some limiting beliefs of money hoarders are:
"I need to hoard enough money to feel safe."
"It's my money, and I earned it."
"What if I cannot make more money?"
Money
Giver
Money giver is someone who gives money without boundaries. This is because their self-worth is connected to it. They do this in an attempt to please people and receive love from others.
The issue here is that the money is not given from a place of “I have enough money so that I can give out.” Rather, it is given with an expectation to receive something in return. It's a transaction, not a gift.
They actually don't have enough money because they have given so much. They end up feeling burnt out and exhausted from giving too much.
Some limiting beliefs of money givers are:
"When I give money, I feel loved."
"You can have it!"
"If I help others, they will help me."
Money Rollercoaster
These people are in a rollercoaster relationship with money. They sometimes have too much money, and too little at other times. They live in constant uncertainty about money as their money keeps on coming and going.
Some limiting beliefs of money rollercoasters are:
"I have no money."
"I have too much money."
"Money comes and goes like the wind."
Money
Blocker
Money blockers have some limiting beliefs in their energy, which prevents them from earning more money.
When they have money, they don't feel safe. They feel like it's temporary and it will go away. Also, they don't feel satisfied with what they have and feel a feeling of scarcity.
Some limiting beliefs of money blockers are:
"There is not enough money."
"I do not want your money."
"It's not safe to have money."
Money
Miser
This person is hesitant to spend money on any amenities. They don't like to spend their money, but they do like to bargain.
They tend to fear that they might have to give away money to an authority figure. For example, giving fines to the government.
Some limiting beliefs that the money blockers create are:
"How much? That's too expensive."
"Oh no not another bill!"
"I hate paying bills."
"I will only take it, if there is a discount."
"I like bargains."
Having read the money profiles, take a moment to think about which profile you found to be most relatable to you.
WHAT ARE THE LIMITING BLOCKS OF ENOUGH MONEY AND WHY IS IT BLOCKING YOU FROM RECEIVING MORE MONEY?
Limiting beliefs are simply thoughts that you have been conditioned with, which become an obstacle to your growth.
There are various limiting beliefs you have set consciously or unconsciously that govern the major aspects of your life.
For example, our parents or teachers may have innocently taught us that "Without hard work, there is no success. Success doesn't come free."
But in reality, that's not true. With the right intentions and right deeds, the universe gives you as much as you want.
You may have been conditioned to think that it's not good to desire more money. Desiring more money is often seen as being greedy.
You may also have a belief that wanting money makes you less spiritual. These beliefs block the flow of money from easily flowing to you.
Some of the most common limiting beliefs that may be blocking you from attracting wealth are:
1.
Mindset
Most people unknowingly believe that there is limited money. Due to this, they operate from a scarcity mindset.
A scarcity mindset is a way of thinking that reinforces the belief that there is a shortage of resources. Such a mindset tends to create a sense of lack.
Money is a form of energy, and energy is infinite. Then how can the money be limited? How can prosperity be limited?
Instead, cultivate the belief that it's infinite and everlasting, and there's enough for everybody. Not just for you but for everyone, there's enough energy in the world for everyone to access. It will help you attract financial abundance effortlessly.
When you start thinking about more money in this way, you shift from a scarcity mindset to a prosperous money mindset.
2.
Self-worth
The way you view yourself determines what you choose for yourself. If you have low self-worth, and you don't find yourself to be deserving of good things, you either push it away if it comes to you or never receive it.
Remember, your wealth is directly proportional to your self-worth.
If your dream is to earn a certain amount in a month and you are earning less than that today, then it means that your worth is at what you have today. As your self-worth increases, you pull in what you want.
The more worth you have for yourself, the more wealth you will have flowed to you. This one belief can change your entire relationship with money.
3.
Emotions
Negative emotions like jealousy, stress, anger, fear, doubt and worry may come up when a friend or a family member achieves something or has been earning good money.
It is natural to feel these emotions, but it is important to become aware when these emotions arise and consciously change them to positive ones.
Dwelling on these emotions does no good as it simply lowers your vibrations and makes you less inclined to receive good things.
When you genuinely choose to be happy for others' successes while keeping faith that whatever is meant for you will come to you at the right moment, you become pure and peaceful.
EMOTIONAL FREEDOM TECHNIQUES (EFT) TO REMOVE MONEY BLOCKS AND MANIFEST MONEY
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is an alternative therapeutic technique that can immensely help you in dissolving your limiting beliefs and clearing the way for abundance to flow in your life.
EFT Tapping is based on modern psychology along with the ancient science of Acupuncture points.
The technique involves tapping on specific points on the upper body while saying out loud certain statements related to the issue you are working on.
The theory of EFT says that the past negative events of your life may have had a lasting impact on you, even if you consciously may not remember them.
These suppressed negative memories cause a disturbance in the body's energy system and impact your functioning until you take steps to resolve it. These unresolved emotions manifest in the form of many psychological and physical problems.
EFT TAPPING STEPS TO MANIFEST MONEY
EFT Tapping aims to uncover your deepest memories associated with the limiting beliefs that you have about money.
Below are the steps for applying EFT Tapping for manifesting money:
STEP 1.
Identify the Belief
Identify the present limiting belief and the associated emotional intensity. Ask yourselves these questions to dig deeper:
How much money do you want?
What prevents you from the amount of money you want?
How does having abundant money make you feel?
When have you felt the money scarcity?
When else have you felt like that?
When was the very first time you felt like that?
Common financial blocks include beliefs about not deserving wealth, fear of failure, or a scarcity mindset.
STEP 2.
Truth Scale Rating
Say the belief out loud and ask yourself how true the setup statement feels on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is very true and 1 is not true at all.
STEP 3.
Tap on Belief
Start tapping on the side of the hand:
“Even though I (speak out the belief you hold about money)_____________ and I can feel it in my (part of the body)________________________ and it’s at a number _____________ and it makes me feel _______________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”
Repeat this 3 times. Tap on the limiting belief and the emotions it elicits to bring the rating down till it feels manageable; or down by at least 1 point.
STEP 4.
Tap on the Upper Body and Facial Tapping Points
Start tapping on the upper body, facial and finger tapping Points mentioned below:
Eyebrow: I feel _________ (emotions associated with belief)
Side of Eye/Temple: I feel it in my ___________
Under Eye: It's at a number _______
Under Nose: It makes me feel _______
Chin: It's in my ________ at a number _____
Collarbone: It makes me feel_________
Under the arm: So ____________
Thumb: So ________________
Index Finger: Because___________
Middle Finger: I feel it in my ______________
Little Finger: So________________
STEP 5.
Close the Sequence
To close the sequence, come back to your set up statement and tap on the Karate Chop:
“Even though I (speak out loud the belief you hold about money)_____________ and I can feel it in my (part of the body)________________________ and it's at a number _____________ and it makes me feel _______________ , I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Do this once.
STEP 6.
Relax
Take a deep breath. Release it out. And then take a sip of water.
STEP 7.
Close with positive EFT Tapping
The last step is to close with positive EFT Tapping for manifesting money.
An example of a positive tapping statement is: “Even though I feel so insecure about my money, now I am open to letting that insecurity go and trust the universe.”
How did EFT Practitioner Donita Packard unlock her financial blocks to manifest money with EFT Tapping?
One of our EFT Practitioners who has unlocked her money blocks with EFT Tapping shares,
"For a long time, abundance was like a bunch of sour grapes that I could never get a hold of. Oh yes, I did get the last grape In the bunch, that is to say, I always received it when I needed it. However, the need was always there.
It got to a point of frustration. I would see my friends getting raises, rising in their careers, and going on those vacations with their families and friends, and here I was struggling to pay my bills each month.
Believe me, the resentment and anger that I had towards others’ happiness and my helplessness was growing each day. I felt like I was trying to steer a boat upriver, and the boat had holes.
"Pheww, I was exhausted!"
Eventually, my frustration led me to find what worked for others and what didn’t for me. I spoke extensively to my friends and did everything possible. I even tried to replicate their exact actions. But it didn’t work for me.
My search for abundance ushered me to attend a seminar on EFT Practitioner Training in Mumbai with Dr Rangana Rupavi Choudhuri (PhD). It was based on EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
It was at this seminar that I came to the realisation that the self–work that I had done was good for nothing—the reason why my belief systems and subconscious patterns hadn’t changed!
What I also realised was that I was filled with unwanted emotions that not only wreaked havoc with my physical being, but they also made me act against my nature, resulting in extreme poverty consciousness.
My self-worth plummeted and I started believing that I did not deserve abundance. And that is exactly what was manifesting for me. Poverty! It had become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I realised that I had to change things, big time.
I worked on myself, extensively, and let go of so many emotions and people in my life, and slowly got to where things started looking good.
I am still a work in progress and although I still may not be able to afford a private yacht, I’m much further ahead in terms of confidence and self-worth from where I used to be a few years ago. Life is comfortable now."
