As a hypnotherapist, I have always used EFT on purpose, as a trance-inducing modality. Today, many years into my work with EFT I don't work with conventional hypnosis any more. Every case is being resolved and taken care of much faster by using EFT, with profound lasting results that could never be guaranteed with hypnotherapy only.

At the same time tapping and focusing on a subject moves clients into a trance very soon. Trance opens the door to the subconscious, the human database, where all memories and emotions are stored. Very fast, very natural and especially helpful for the client to first hand experience how wonderful their own system, the brain or mind in this case works, almost on demand. "Let's go look at what comes up", I usually tell them. "It is all there inside, waiting for you to connect with." Empowerment in the best sense! It serves as a catalyst into higher self acceptance. Maybe never before the client has felt that kind of love and appreciation for his/her so well functioning, reliable mind.

Using EFT as a trance inducer in my meditation groups or tele classes, I have witnessed the most amazing experiences happening for group members. Not only allow many of them trance to happen faster, but the nature of the trance happens to be incredibly deep, with extraordinary visions. At home, when my clients listen to my hypnosis tapes for healing, I know they start out tapping at the same time, which again gives them better results overall.

Before I start my meditations or guided imagery I ask the particpants to begin tapping on one of their favorite tapping points while they listen to me talking. Very soon into the meditation they become so relaxed that the physical tapping gently fades as it becomes more difficult for them to move their hands. By then trance has already enveloped them like a warm, relaxing blanket.

It’s a fact for me that EFT heavily contributes to the speedy trance as I have watched people so often, myself almost in disbelief, amazed by the power of EFT in this combination. In every group there used to always be a few people who struggled against letting go. Not in my groups anymore; EFT swiftly lets it happen for everyone. EFT trances seem to be guaranteed positive, with uplifting happenings only. Never before EFT I had so many people in my groups who didn't want to come back to normal consciousness. They enjoyed their mind places too much.

It gives me great joy to listen afterwards, when the participants share their experiences, pointing out how incredibly beautiful this meditation has been for them. As I watched them during our meditation it became obvious that they had a wonderful time.

Do I have to mention how profound the positive changes are, with EFT and the subconscious mind working as a team?

Love and Peace to all!
