Using Essential Oils with Emotional Freedom Technique  (EFT)
   by Melodie Kantner
 
 
I recently started using essential oils along with a very useful technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique).  With EFT you tap on various meridian points on your body while focusing on the issue you are wanting to change. Adding an essential oil to the points before you begin tapping really adds to the effectiveness. 
 
You start on the hand, outside edge called the Karate Chop Point.  The part of your hand you would karate chop someone. 
For a diagram and instructions:

While tapping the Karate Chop Point, say a setup phrase 3 times, filling in the issue you want to focus on.
Example:
If you are working on lack of motivation:
While tapping on the Karate Chop Point say, "Even though I have a lack of motivation, I deeply love and accept myself." (repeat 3 times)
 
When you have finished with the Karate Chop Point, then move to the other meridian points, saying a reminder phrase on each point. For lack of motivation, the reminder phrase could be, "lack motivation" or "no motivation."
 
For lack of motivation, you could use the oil blend Motivation or En-R-Gee.  I use either when I am not motivated to exercise. For that, I would use a setup phrase like:  "Even though I am not motivated to exercise, I deeply love and accept myself." 
 
Be careful and don't get any oils in your eyes. You may want to avoid using oil on the 3 eye points. Or add a drop of oil to your finger and let it dry, then tap those points.
