EFT for Meditation and Prayer

By: Robert Elias Najemy

Being able let go of thoughts, concerns, issues and other obstacles would be an enormous blessing for those who would like to concentrate more intensely during prayer or transcend all mental activities during meditation.

We can employ EFT in three ways here.

1. We can work daily employing EFT towards these goals with the appropriate set up which might be something like this:

Note: We use two phrases when doing the set up.

A. We rub on the sore spot on one side (or tap the side of the hand) repeating phrase "A" three times.

B. Then we repeat phrase "B" three times while rubbing the on the sore spot on the other side (or tapping on the side of the other hand).

C. Then we repeat the "C" reminder phrase while tapping on the 12 points.

A. Even though I seem to have some obstacles to ______________________ (concentrating when I pray – letting go when I meditate), I deeply and profoundly love myself.

B. I choose (want, deserve, allow myself, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from this (obstacle) ______.

C. Reminder Phrase = Any obstacles or this obstacle to concentrating (or letting go).

2. We can employ EFT during our prayer or meditation for any specific obstacles, which may appear and then return to our prayer, meditation or contemplation.

Consider some of the possible obstacles and corresponding set ups

?. The Body:
1. Pain
2. Tiredness
3. Discomfort

Set up:

A. Even though I have this _____ (pain, tiredness, discomfort), I deeply and profoundly love myself.

B. I choose (want, deserve, allow myself, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from this ______(pain, tiredness, discomfort).

C. Reminder Phrase = This ______(pain, tiredness, discomfort).

?. Our Energy:
1. Dullness
2. Nervousness

Set up:

A. Even though I have this _____ (dullness, Nervousness), I deeply and profoundly love myself.

B. I choose (want, deserve, allow myself, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from this ______(dullness, Nervousness)

C. Reminder Phrase = This ______(dullness, Nervousness)

C. The Mind:

1. Thoughts – On which subjects and issues?
?. Family
B. Relationships
C. Work
D. Finances
E. Fears and other emotions
F. Work
G. Internal conflicts
H. Other _________

Set up:

A. Even though I have these thoughts / concerns about _____ (subject), I deeply and profoundly love myself.

B. I choose (want, deserve, allow myself, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from these thoughts about ______(subject)

C. Reminder Phrase = These (subject) _______ thoughts

3. Emotions – Which?

Set up:

A. Even though I feel (emotion) _____, I deeply and profoundly love myself.

B. I choose (want, deserve, allow myself, accept, realize that it is in my benefit) to be free from (emotion)______.

C. Reminder Phrase = (emotion) _______

3. Using EFT as an preparation to our Daily Meditation or Prayer

We can also use EFT on a daily basis as a part of our process of inner attunement, general rejuvenation and alignment with goals and spiritual qualities.

I have found that EFT can be a wonderful introduction to my hours of prayer and meditation.

We can perform a few rounds for any issues which we would like to put in harmony and then let go of them and feel freer to focus, feeling that we have done what we can for those issues with EFT and now we can focus on other more spiritually oriented matters.

(We will of course give whatever energy is necessary in our daily lives towards manifesting out goals. It is not enough to do EFT only. We also must make our efforts.)

Some issues we might want do 1 to 3 rounds for before moving into our meditation or prayer might be:

1. Any physical problems or issues.
2. Any emotions which have been prevalent.
3. Any goals we have set for ourselves such as:
a. More harmonious relationships
b. Self-esteem
c. Family needs
d. Professional goals
e. Spiritual goals
f. Other

We then move onto our meditation and / or prayer and if obstacles appear then we perform EFT for them and continue.
