It is a feature of EFT whereby members of an
audience choose bothersome SPECIFIC EVENTS from
their own pasts and obtain relief by tapping
along with another person. That other person can
be either on stage or on a video and can have an
entirely different issue than the audience
members. Nonetheless, the audience members use
the same words and tap on the same points as the
person on stage or on the video.
While this phenomenon is still in the
experimental stage, it is believed that the
audience members draw their own parallels from
the on-stage person’s issue and thus obtain
similar relief as if they were tapping directly
on their own issue.
Advantages of
Borrowing Benefits
1. Entire audiences can achieve quality relief
during one EFT session. There appears to be no
limit to the audience size. It can be hundreds
or thousands or millions. Care must be taken
with large groups for the small percentage that
are so emotionally frail that they should not
attempt ANY healing procedure without the
presence of a skilled professional.
2. If the session on stage or video is in-depth
and of high quality, most audience members will
benefit to a greater degree than doing EFT on
themselves or with an inexperienced EFT
practitioner.
3. Many audience members will experience relief
in a relatively painless way because they are
ostensibly tapping for someone else's issue out
there instead of dwelling directly on their own
difficult circumstances.
4. Many times the entire issue for an audience
member is completely resolved. When there are
pieces left over, a qualified EFT practitioner
can finish it up with one-on-one sessions.
5. EFT practitioners can speed up complex cases
by giving the clients videos to take home and
practice Borrowing Benefits between sessions.
6. Some audience members may tune into otherwise
buried emotional issues during Borrowing
Benefits. When this happens a great deal of time
is saved because it hastens the process of
finding a core issue.
Disadvantages
of Borrowing Benefits
1. In some cases Borrowing Benefits may not be
as thorough as one-on-one sessions. The gap can
be filled by a qualified EFT practitioner.
2. A small percentage of audience members may
tune into some unexpected intensity and become
uncomfortable. This is usually because THEY
DIDN'T FOLLOW DIRECTIONS and strayed from their
SPECIFIC EVENT. In any event, it is appropriate
to advise audience members of this possibility
in advance and advise them to bring professional
help where merited. If you are doing Borrowing
Benefits before a live group, you should have
experienced EFT-ers in the room to help just in
case.
