How To Overcome The Phobia Of Balloons With EFT Tapping

Popping My Fear Of Balloons With EFT

In this blog, you will learn how EFT Tapping can help you to overcome your fears and phobias.

Fear is both a useful tool and a debilitating force. It can keep us safe, but it can also prevent us from taking risks and exploring new possibilities. When fear gets out of control, it can manifest as a phobia: an intense and irrational fear of certain objects or situations.

This can be difficult to overcome, but treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy, Emotional Freedom Techniques, and Yoga can help to reduce symptoms and provide a path to recovery.

But it's important to hold onto the hope that it's possible to overcome negative feelings and you have the power to control your own destiny.

If overcoming your fears and phobias seems like an impossible task, let the inspiring story of a former phobia sufferer be the motivation you need.

Elsa Bulo was born during a time of violence and unrest in East Timor. Despite the violence, her father, a military man, did his best to create a secure and nurturing home. However, a tragedy befell her which changed her life forever.

Her beloved dog, her friends, and many others were being shot, raped, and killed. These events left her with a deep-seated fear of balloons - the sound of a balloon popping was enough to make her feel like she was going to die.

She's a happy person yet she was afraid of balloons. She thought this fear was gonna stay with her forever but Elsa discovered EFT and NLP.

By participating in Dr. Rangana's EFT sessions, Elsa Bulo was able to overcome her deep-rooted phobia of balloons. She was able to break free from the paralysing fear of balloons that had been gripping her for years.

The EFT and NLP sessions she had with Dr. Rangana proved to be life-changing for Elsa. Emotional Freedom Techniques really helped her to confront the fear of balloons that had been restraining her and enabled her to rediscover the pleasure of living life to the fullest. She can now embrace each day with confidence and joy, unencumbered by her former phobia.

No More Fear Of Balloons!

"I had a very bad fear of balloons. Every time a balloon would burst, I thought I would die. I'm not scared anymore. When there is a celebration with balloons I'm going to say OK come over."

Elsa Bulo, Spa Trainer, Indonesia

However, the power of overcoming your fears and phobias lies within you. It may seem like an insurmountable challenge, but if you take the time to look within and find the courage and strength you need, you can conquer anything.

You may not be able to do it alone, but with the help of a therapist, a support system, and the right self-care strategies, you can take back control of your life and achieve success.

So take a deep breath, be brave, and take the first step on your journey to emotional freedom.

The sample procedure of EFT Tapping for phobia is as follows:

Step 1

Identify

Identify and explore more about the triggers of phobia, by asking the following questions:

What or who is it that makes you afraid?
What triggers the phobia?
What has to happen for you to feel better?

Step 2

Explore The Physical Sensations

Explore physical sensations that are associated with your current state of mind. You can explore by asking questions such as:

How are you feeling?
Where in the body do you experience these sensations?
What is the colour, texture, size, and shape of them?

Measure the level of these feelings by asking: "On a scale of 1 to 10, what number is the nervousness at, where 10 is really high and 1 is not high at all."

Step 3

Start Tapping

Tap on the Karate Chop using the sample statement, for example:

“Even though I am afraid of balloons and I can feel it in my stomach, it’s at a number 8, blue in colour, and it makes my palms go cold, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” (Repeat 3 times)

Step 4

Then Tap On The Facial And Upper Body EFT Tapping Points

Then tap on the facial and upper body EFT Tapping points. Use the identified phrases to tap on the facial, upper body, and finger EFT Tapping points:

Eyebrow: I am afraid of...
Temple: I feel it in my …..
Under eye: It’s at a number …..
Under nose: It makes me feel …..
Chin: It’s in my ….. at a number …..
Collarbone: It makes me feel …..
Under the arm: So …..
Thumb: So …..
Index finger: Feared because …..
Middle finger: I feel it in my …..

Step 5

Close The Sequence By Tapping On The Side Of Your Hand Again

Close the sequence by coming back to the EFT Karate Chop Tapping points and repeating the statement once:

“Even though I am afraid of balloons and I can feel it in my stomach, it’s at a number 8, blue in colour, and it makes my palms go cold, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” (Repeat 3 times)

Step 6

Breathe And Relax

Take a gentle breath in and out, and have a sip of water.

Step 7

Test Yourself

Test the intensity of your feelings. Ask yourself the following questions:

What number are my feelings at now?
What happened?
How does it make me feel now?

If you are feeling better and content at your current level you can stop and close with positive tapping. If you feel the number could come down a little more, begin again from the first step.

Note: You can also tap on memories, and associated emotions that come up.

Step 8

Identify positive tapping sequences to close the EFT Tapping for Quick Relief:

You can close with the following sequence,

“Even though I am afraid of balloons, that was then and this is now, I am open to the possibility of feeling relaxed now.”

Repeat as often as needed and you can stop when you feel relaxed.
