One of the key things that stand between a person and financial success are the obstacles that are built up subconsciously in their head. Money blocks may refer to all types of inner obstacles that make someone unable to attract wealth. Fortunately, there is an excellent solution to help overcome all psychological restrictions that prevent a person from gaining prosperity.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or “tapping” in simple terms, is a powerful method that could help you identify all inner obstacles related to money. Read on to discover how you can rewrite your financial story with the help of emotional freedom technique.
What Are Money Blocks?
Money blocks are not always about a lack of financial knowledge or skills. These blocks are formed in the subconscious mind of an individual due to the brain survival instinct. When a child learns how money works, they watch their parents or the environment and draw certain conclusions. If money were linked to something unpleasant like stress, conflicts or other negative emotions, it’s likely that the subconscious mind of the child blocked wealth to “protect” them from potential dangers.
Key examples of money blocks include:
- Self-sabotage: Overspending right after getting some extra money, etc.
- Under-earning: The belief that one doesn’t deserve a higher salary.
- Financial anxiety: Feeling sick when looking at the bank account and bills, etc.
- Risk aversion: Unwillingness to invest because of fear.
Principles of Emotional Freedom Technique Tapping
According to the theory of EFT, emotional blocks arise due to disruptions in a person’s energy field. In the case of financial issues, the brain activates the “fight or flight response” through the amygdala, blocking the work of the prefrontal cortex and thus creating a state of stress.
Tapping on the meridian points and focusing the brain on the particular issue allows reducing cortisol levels in the organism and processing the information in a more relaxed way. The main points to tap during the procedure are eyebrows, sides of eyes, under the eyes, nose, chin, collar bone, and under the arm.
Removing Money Blocks Using the 5 Steps EFT Process
Here is how you can remove the money block to ensure the flow of finances in your life. The following EFT steps will help you reprogram your brain to attract wealth and make wise financial decisions.
Step 1. Identifying the Main Problem
It is impossible to solve a problem that is not specific enough, so it would be better to determine the root cause. Common financial blocks include fear of debts, thoughts about wealth as a form of greed or inability to handle money.
- Action: Define your main financial fear and measure it on a scale from 0 to 10.
Step 2: Acknowledgement of the Financial Block
In this step, you must learn how to embrace the problem that brings you shame and fear. You should use Karate Chop Point (the soft flesh area on the side of your hand) to reduce the resistance.
- Action: Tap this point while repeating, “Even though I experience this fear that I will never become wealthy and independent, I accept myself completely and deeply.”
Step 3: Cleaning Process
Now, you will use tapping techniques to eliminate any stress in your energy channels. You should use reminder phrases to keep your mind focused on the problem.
Action: Tap on each of the points for 5–7 times while repeating your problem.
- Eyebrow: This financial fear
- Side of Eye: This fear of lack
- Under Eye: My concerns about bills
- Under Nose: This blockage keeps me from achieving financial stability
- Chin point: I feel stuck
- Collarbone: This fear of money
- Under Arm: My fear of failure
- Top of Head: This old fear of money
Step 4: Evaluation of Your Intensity Level
Take a deep breath, calm down, and evaluate your fear level once again. If you have made some progress, you can proceed to the installation stage.
- Action: Measure the level of your fear on a scale from 0 to 10.
Step 5: Abundance Blueprint Installation
Finally, you should fill the vacuum created by the elimination of negative thoughts with positive ones. It would be necessary to repeat the previous procedure, focusing on positive ideas that will help you attract money.
Action: Repeat tapping on each of the points, saying affirmations listed below.
- Eyebrow: I am open to new financial opportunities
- Side of Eye: I deserve financial freedom
- Under Eye: I believe in my ability to manage money
- Under Nose: Money is a great chance in my life
- Chin point: Old limitations are falling
- Collarbone: My finances are finally under control
- Under Arm: Opportunities always come to me
- Top of Head: Abundance comes to me
Using Journaling as Part of Your Journey to Financial Wellness
Journaling acts as a way of diagnosing what particular blocks need tapping. Writing your feelings regarding finance will help transform vague fears to concrete fears. It will help you in:
- Clarity: It will assist in monitoring the emotions involved in each purchase in the process of identifying ’emotional spending.’
- Brainstorming: List 50 ideas that could make you some more money. This activity will help your brain shift its mindset from “scarcity” mode to “possibility” mode.
- Tracking Progress: By keeping tabs on changes in your thinking, you get psychological proof that you have grown, thereby gaining self-confidence.
Overcoming Money Blocks in Business & Profession
Entrepreneurs and corporate employees may experience fear of exposure/rejection and this results in either undercharging their services or not placing phone calls for sales. This is because:
- Pricing Issues: There is a strong sense of guilt regarding setting prices on professional services. EFT helps in accepting that high value deserves high pricing.
- Networking Fears: The social anxiety when dealing with high net-worth clientele/partners is reduced by EFT.
- Imposter Complex: Tapping helps dissolve the “imposter complex” that makes one feel like fraud undeserving of professional recognition and financial rewards.
Developing a Daily Practice for Achieving Success
The success of long-term financial transformation depends on effectively clearing new blocks as they arise. Here’s what you can do:
- Morning Ritual: Spend five minutes tapping on your financial goals to clear any underlying resistance.
- Immediate Action: Tap on any financial setbacks you may experience on the day before your brain falls into a state of permanent stress.
- Regular Reflection: Every Sunday morning, write about your financial success stories and remaining fears. Use the findings for your upcoming tapping sessions.
Conclusion
Getting rid of your financial blocks is a matter of unlearning bad practices and managing your nervous system properly. With EFT, your reaction to money becomes proactive instead of reactive. Therefore, EFT can be seen as an intermediary step in the process of freeing you from blocks to financial growth and transformation.
