Mantrams and EFT

What is the relationship between a Mantram and EFT?

A Mantram is a short phrase that we say which is anchored to, or acts as an anchor for, a state of peace.

EFT is a technique whereby we "tap" on acupuncture points, while repeating a certain phrase designed to elicit a certain state (i.e. the reminder phrase).

Both use repetition of a simple thing either:
  • A phrase (Mantram) while (potentially) in the presence of a negative K; or 
  • A "gesture" (i.e. "tap") plus a phrase (to invoke the negative K)
We have our personal map, or metaphor map. While we are in a particular state (say a K-), or while we are invoking this state using the reminder phrase of EFT, we begin to either "tap" or say a Mantram.

To the extent that the tapping or the Mantram acts as an anchor for a state of peace, then this technique is no different to collapsing anchors.
