Melancholy can be defined as free-floating sadness, something like a dark cloud that obscures the sun of happiness from your consciousness. It brings forth emotional mind-wanderings and distress, and is a precursor to actual deep depression.

We must not let melancholy take over our lives! Life is meant to be enjoyed, not looked at through a fog of discontent. So let’s EFT it away.

How, you say?

Perhaps you don’t know the source of your melancholy. If this is the case, start there.

How much do you feel this? Assign a number, 1 to 10. (1=barely;10=extremely)

Setup phrase:

“Even though I don’t know why I’m feeling sad today I deeply and completely accept myself.”

Repeat three times. If you’ve been reading Gary Craig’s free e-book or watching his outstanding EFT DVDs, you’ll understand exactly how this is done.

Tapping: “Sadness”

Breathe deeply when you’re done tapping. How much do you still feel this? Assign a number, 1 to 10.

…

Perhaps as you tapped you realized some specific event that saddened you, and that’s the next thing to tap on.

Keep going. Tap out all the aspects.

Examples:

Aspect one - your mother called and reminded you of some stupid thing you did when you were ten.

Tap on it.

Aspect two - you’re reminded how your first marriage broke up because of your mother saying similar invasive and depressing stuff to your spouse.

Tap on it.

Any other thoughts that come up while you’re tapping on something - remember, that’s usually an aspect that needs to be resolved.

Tap on it.

Restore your joy. You were born to this world to be happy, and not to suffer.
