You can yawn, burp, sneeze, cough, and/or cry. As we tap along, allow yourself to release, that is your body's way of letting go of that which no longer serves it.You can find the Hawkins Scale of Emotions in this post.----Please note that EFT is NOT used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or psychological disorder.
