Breaking Free from the Illusion: Rewriting Your Reality with EFT
Have you ever felt trapped in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs—like no matter what you do, your reality stays the same? What if the reason your external world seems unchangeable is because it’s merely a projection of your internal state?
Science and spirituality are beginning to converge on a profound idea: reality is not as fixed as it seems. The Holographic Principle suggests that the universe, including your personal experiences, might be more like a projection than a solid, unchangeable structure. If that’s true, then changing your inner world could change your outer reality.
This is where Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, becomes a powerful tool. By using EFT, we can release stored emotional patterns and effectively reprogram the “projection” of our lives. This chapter will explore how these concepts connect and provide a practical tapping script to help you shift your consciousness and transform your reality.
A Story of Transformation
Lisa, a busy executive, had spent years struggling with self-doubt. She felt like she was constantly running in place—working hard but never feeling like she was truly in control of her life. No matter how much self-help she consumed, her reality remained the same: stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. That is, until she started using EFT.
Within weeks of tapping on her limiting beliefs, Lisa noticed shifts—not just in her emotions, but in her external world. Opportunities began appearing, her confidence grew, and she felt a deep sense of calm she hadn’t experienced before. It was as if the very fabric of her reality had shifted.
What Lisa experienced aligns with what quantum physics and the Holographic Principle suggest: our internal state influences the external world we experience. EFT became the key that allowed her to rewrite her projection, and it can do the same for you.
The Holographic Principle: A Simple Explanation
The Holographic Principle proposes that everything we perceive as a three-dimensional reality is actually encoded on a two-dimensional surface, much like a hologram. Imagine a movie playing on a screen—you experience depth, movement, and immersion, but in reality, the images are projected from a flat surface. Some scientists believe our universe functions in a similar way, with our experiences and physical reality being projected from a deeper, unseen level of information.
But what does this mean for your personal transformation?
If your life is a projection, then the obstacles you perceive—self-doubt, fear, emotional pain—are not permanent structures but energetic patterns within this projection. The exciting part? You have the power to change them.
EFT is like editing the code behind the projection. Every limiting belief or emotional block is stored as an energetic imprint, shaping what you experience externally. By tapping and releasing these imprints, you change the data being projected—altering your reality in the process.
Using EFT to Reprogram Your Reality
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) work by tapping on specific meridian points while focusing on emotional or mental blocks. This process calms the nervous system, reduces stress responses, and allows deep-seated patterns to dissolve.
Think of your limiting beliefs as pixels in a hologram. They appear solid and unchangeable, but in reality, they are just information. EFT allows you to reprogram these pixels, shifting your subconscious patterns and, in turn, shifting what is projected into your life.
Example: If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, that emotional pattern is continuously influencing your decisions, behaviors, and external circumstances. By tapping on the anxiety and releasing it, you change the energetic blueprint behind the projection. As a result, your external experiences begin to shift—stressful situations resolve, you make empowered decisions, and new opportunities emerge.
Addressing Common Objections
- “This sounds abstract—how do I know it works?”
Scientific research on EFT shows that tapping helps regulate the amygdala, the brain’s fight-or-flight center. Studies have demonstrated that EFT reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) and rewires neural pathways, leading to lasting emotional and behavioral change.
- “If reality is a projection, does that mean nothing matters?”
Not at all. Just like a video game character’s choices shape their experience, your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs shape the life you experience. The key takeaway is that you have more control than you may realize.
- “I’ve tried EFT before, but my life hasn’t changed much.”
Transformation happens in layers. If you’ve only done surface-level tapping, deeper emotional patterns may still be running in the background. Consistency and targeting core beliefs lead to lasting change.
- “I don’t have time for this.”
EFT takes as little as 5-10 minutes a day. Even tapping for just a few minutes can create immediate shifts in stress levels and emotional state.
Tapping Script: Expanding Consciousness & Rewriting Your Projection
Use this script whenever you feel stuck in emotional patterns or limited by your current perception of reality.
Setup Statement: (While tapping on the Karate Chop point)
- “Even though I feel trapped in my current beliefs, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
- “Even though I feel stuck in old emotional patterns, I choose to release these patterns and open myself to new possibilities.”
- “Even though I sometimes feel disconnected from my higher self, I honor my journey and choose to expand my awareness.”
Tapping Sequence:
- Eyebrow: “I feel limited by my current reality.”
- Side of Eye: “I’ve been stuck in old emotional patterns.”
- Under Eye: “These patterns seem so real, but they are just projections.”
- Under Nose: “I choose to release these limiting beliefs.”
- Chin: “I am opening to a broader awareness of reality.”
- Collarbone: “I am connected to the infinite consciousness of the universe.”
- Under Arm: “I release the blockages that keep me from experiencing my higher self.”
- Top of Head: “I am expanding my consciousness and aligning with the deeper truth of the universe.”
Take a deep breath and repeat the sequence as many times as needed until you feel a sense of clarity and expansion.
Final Thoughts & Next Steps
Reality is not as rigid as it seems. By using EFT to shift your inner patterns, you can create profound external changes. Just like Lisa, you have the power to rewrite your projection—one belief, one emotion, one tapping session at a time.
