Table with 69 legs
The week I have been revamping our EFT manuals and have revisited Gary Craig’s analogy of an issue representing the surface of a table. All the events in which that issue was created or confirmed to be true are represented by the table legs – photo shared courtesy of http://riiskadesign.com/new-69-leg-table. This table can obviously have more than 4 legs!
For example, imagine that the surface of a table represents the issue eg “I feel rejected” and the events in one’s life in which rejected features are the legs holding up the table. Once you have chopped down some of the table’s legs by neutralizing each life event contributing to the belief, the table will become unstable and fall thereby dissolving the belief “I feel rejected”.
EFT works best when being specific so when people tap directly on the general issue eg feeling rejected, they sometimes believe it doesn’t work. With persistence on working generally it is possible to achieve results.
However, breaking the issue down and identifying specific occurrences of memories in which the issue (eg “I feel rejected”) is triggered and tapping on each of these will be more efficient and more likely to be a permanent result.
Some examples of early events in ones life that may lead to feelings of rejection are:
- mother has post-natal depression
- a new sibling arriving in a situation where the you are deprived of attention
- father abandoning the family
Here is a diagram of the relationship between specific events/ memories (table legs) and issues/ beliefs (table top) and how working with one will lead to the other and visa versa.
