Video: The Tea and Soup Analogy – Finding the Right Temperature with EFT

In this video, we’ll be exploring a practical and relatable analogy that can enhance our understanding of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Just like we prefer a cup of tea or a bowl of soup to be at just the right temperature, there’s a balance to be found in our emotional intensity when using EFT.


The focus of our tapping can be thought of as either too cold (not bringing up enough emotional intensity), or too hot (bringing up an emotional charge that becomes too overwhelming). As practitioners, our goal is to help guide our clients in adjusting the emotional “temperature” to a manageable level.


We’ll discuss different strategies to add “hot” or “cold water”, including altering our focus and adjusting our language. You’ll learn how specific or nonspecific language can either increase or decrease emotional intensity.


Whether you’re a client struggling with ‘tuning in’ or a practitioner looking to aid your clients more effectively, this analogy can provide insights on managing emotional intensity during EFT. Remember, it’s all about finding the right balance.
