Wash Your Worries Away

EFT in the Shower

All of us must clean up our environment to some extent each day in order to operate effectively. Whether we are showering, brushing our teeth, washing the dishes, or doing the laundry, we spend considerable time each day making sure that debris does not accumulate on our possessions or our bodies to the point where it is injurious to our health or detrimental to our functioning.  This daily cleansing is taken for granted.

When it comes to cleaning out emotional debris that may be hampering us and blocking optimal functioning, however, we are often more neglectful.  Even though we don’t allow a heavy build-up of plaque on our teeth, we think nothing of allowing a heavy buildup of resentments, worries, sadness, and other undesirable emotions to accumulate in our systems; despite all the damage they are capable of creating.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a powerful stress-management tool that you can use in your daily life to calm worry and anxiety. One way to ensure that you use EFT in this fashion is to couple it with one or more of the physical cleansing rituals that you regularly undertake.

How to use EFT as a daily emotional cleansing ritual.

A number of people have reported that they enthusiastically do EFT while taking their morning shower, and some enjoy it in their evening shower as well.  Typically, they select a topic to tap on that addresses an unresolved issue from the day before, or an anticipated experience of the day to come.  Their EFT set-up phrase is therefore directed to the immediate past or the immediate future.  Occasionally someone will work on an ongoing issue as they shower.

Wash Your Worries Away in the Shower

• Think of an unresolved issue of the day before, or something you anticipate happening in the coming day about which you have concern.
• Position yourself in the shower so that the water splashes over your face and shoulders. Imagine it “washing away” your worries as you tap with EFT.
• When your stress level has come down, take a few seconds to feel the water washing away the very last remnants of this issue.

The effect of doing EFT while showering is quite different from that of ordinary tapping.  You can position your head for example so that the water splashes over your face and shoulders in a way that actually blends with the tapping of the EFT spots.  The effect is that of a double cleansing!  Both your inner and outer being is being washed at the same time! 

Linking EFT tapping to your daily established rituals will make you much less apt to forget using EFT on a regular basis, which can to allow your life to flow smoothly.

I suggest you try it when you next take a shower and see if it is right for you.  Anticipatory emotional cleansing with EFT each morning or each evening can create a surprisingly satisfying day ahead.
