You can spend a whole day having the same conversation without the other person being there at all. Working out what you will say, what they will probably answer, and even what you should have said last Tuesday at 4:40 p.m., when of course the best reply arrived three hours late. You may have explained it all beautifully to yourself and still feel the same tightening in your stomach at the thought of tomorrow's conversation. The mind has understood the story. The body clearly has not received the message yet.
That gap is exactly what this room works with. You pick one specific situation and say it in your own words: “I'm anxious about tomorrow's conversation”, “I get angry every time I remember what she said to me”, “When the phone rings and I see that name, I tense up straight away”, “I know I have to make a decision, but the moment I think about it my stomach clenches”. There is no need to sound wise, spiritual, or like someone who has just written a book about themselves. The sentence only has to be true for you.
Then EFT begins — the Emotional Freedom Techniques. While you repeat your own sentence, you tap in turn on nine points on the face and body, the same ones used in acupressure. That keeps your attention on the particular reaction you want to follow, instead of turning it once more into a half-hour conversation with yourself.
Before the first round you rate it from 0 to 10. Not “how big is my problem”, since life rarely fits that neatly into one figure, but how strong your reaction to it is right now. If the mere thought of the conversation already brings tension and you would call it an 8, you start at 8. You do the round and check again. It may be 5, it may be 3, it may be 8 again. That is what makes the number interesting: you are not guessing whether something has shifted, you are comparing how you were a few minutes ago with how you are now.
If the number does not move, that is information too. The first sentence may simply not be the real theme. You started with “I'm anxious about the conversation”, and a little later you realise you are actually angry about the way you were treated. Or you think the fear is about the phone call, while the real thought is “What if I hear an answer I don't want to hear?”. Then the next round starts from a different place.
And that is why this room will not hand you a ready-made text written for everybody. The internet has plenty of phrases that sound lovely and have nothing to do with what you felt this morning. Here the phrases are built from your words, from the particular situation and from your reaction to it. Because there is an enormous difference between “I'm afraid of the future” and “I'm afraid to open that email”. And the body usually knows perfectly well which of the two is the real one.
You pay for a new situation — 3.33 €. Every further round on it is free, as many as you need, because its phrases already exist. A Seer receives one new situation every month, an Initiate two.
Tapping helps you settle and see more clearly what is actually troubling you. It is not treatment and it does not replace a doctor. If the situation is heavy — loss, violence, something that knocks you down every time you think of it — talk about it with a living person: someone close you feel safe with, or a professional. A screen does good work for everyday things; for the heavy ones it is a poor helper.
