For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification (Romans 14:17-19).
All of us want peace and joy in Christ.
We crave it in our lives. EFT for Christian’s version of Gary Craig’s “Personal Peace Procedure” is called Fullness in Jesus Procedure. All of us have loads and loads of negative personal stuff in our background. Every single human being does. Anyone who denies this is simply not being honest with him/herself. It is simply impossible to not have had a hurtful event, a dismissive memory, or some childhood or adulthood painful memory. No matter how wonderful or diligent a parent is, somewhere along the line (s)he lost their patience with a child. Undoubtedly, you were that child. I kiddingly tell people that if you can’t come up with a long list of nasty events in your life, then you must have been born on Neptune because you certainly weren’t born here on earth!
The Fullness in Jesus Procedure is relatively simply.
1) Purchase a small memo or notebook that will fit in your pocket or purse.
2) Write down every single event, big, little, or in between, that had any kind of a negative impact on you during your life. Even if you feel a memory has absolutely no emotional impact to you, write it down anyway. You remembered it; it has impact somewhere within your subconscious.
3) With due diligence you should come up with several hundred memories or events. I had about 378!
4) Rate each event on a scale of 0-10.
5) Begin working on this process by picking out the events with the highest SUDS and doing those first. Tap on the events or memories until you have completely resolved everything around them. If other aspects or other emotions come up about the memory, as you tap, write them down in your memo book to do separately, unless you have time during the current tapping session to address them. Get yourself to 0 on the SUDS level on each emotion.
6) Daily, work on at least one memory. Preferably, several, if you can make time to do so. Each event probably will only take you a few minutes. By eliminating multiple events a week, you will begin to notice a difference in your life, as the small negative things move out, creating Jesus’ peace within you.
7) If an event seems to have no SUDS attached to it, tap it anyway. I would apply 8 to 10 rounds of Clinical EFT to it, based on your best guess of what the emotion might be and what the SUDS might be. A guess is good enough here to get the job done. If the memory needs more work, the tapping will be enough to break it loose so it becomes more evident to you.
8) Continue through the entire list, even if you begin to feel remarkably better. It is imperative that you clean up everything you can remember in your life. If you don’t, it will return and you will have to tap on it anyway. These things tend to return at the most inopportune times!
9) You may simply tap the emotion attached to each of these memories, or do a “tell the story” or “movie technique”, if it is a longer story with multiple emotional events in it. There really is no right or wrong way to do the Fullness in Jesus Procedure. Little will change in your life unless you make some effort to use the process God implanted in us for this emotional relief.
10) Now, go on to the subsequent events that have the next highest SUDS attached to them. As you proceed along, you will begin to notice that events with similar emotional feelings will begin to fade away of their own accord. This is what this process should do. You are beginning to eliminate “table legs”, collapsing the many tables as you go along.
11) You may well even begin to notice that issues that you haven’t even tapped on yet have already disappeared. Our subconscious knows how it filed all these negative emotional events. Sometimes, it just eliminates some of the bigger files in one swoop!
12) Feel into your body and observe some of your day to day physical symptoms, too. You may tap on those, or watch them, as they may well disappear as you tap on the emotional. Remember, you have stored these negative memories somewhere in your body. That is the essence of the science of “bodymind”!
13) You may even want to make some notes about what your starting weight or blood pressure was. Write a small descriptive paragraph about how you feel generally in life.
After a month or so of daily tapping, check in with yourself. See your progress! It is easy to forget where you started when tapping. Not only do the emotions disappear, but sometimes you may even forget what you felt like before you commenced the Fullness in Jesus Procedure.
Now, be mindful! Pay attention to how day to day affairs change around you. You probably will find yourself less upset by daily aggravations. How are the grief, sadness, or spouse’s annoying habits bothering you now?
The small bothersome aspects of life will simply begin to melt away, leaving you with Apostle Paul’s “peace that surpasses all understanding” that he speaks of in the Book of Philippians Chapter 4 verses 6 & 7, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus”.
That is exactly what Clinical EFT does for us Christians. We repent, we confess our sins to God, and then God, through tapping, restores us to a life of peace and joy, just as He promises in Holy Scripture.
Blessed Tapping!
