Does It Matter What Order You Do the Tapping in EFT or MTT?

When doing a process such as EFT, is it important what order you tap the meridian points? Is it better to use one specific sequence or another? Check out the results of this study:

Recent announcements by Monica Pignotti, formerly one of the foremost advocates of Voice Technology and TFT’s process of causal diagnosis (determining points to tap on using muscle testing), have thrown the Energy Psychology world into an uproar – and caused many practitioners to question what they have previously believed about how EFT and TFT work. Writing on the TFT Algorithms List Serve, Monica announced that she had conducted a single blind study to test the effectiveness of Voice Technology tapping sequences versus randomly determined tapping sequences. Monica presented her algorithms to participants from eight different algorithm trainings held in the US, the UK, and Australia. She writes: “I informed the instructors that I was collecting data, but I didn't tell the instructor or the participants that I was using a random algorithm on half the group. Every other person got VT, and every other person got the random sequence, and no one could hear the difference over the phone because I kept everything else ... the same.

“Here is how she reported the “surprise result”:

“The results I got from this experiment stunned me. It turned out that I had identical results for each group ... In short, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at all.

What was even more incredible was that there were individuals at that training who had utterly failed with algorithms who were helped with these random sequences...”

Furthermore...

...Joaquin Andrade, MD. , who conducted the first large scale of Energy Psychology results (over 29 000 patients – see a report on this study at: http://www.emofree.com/Research/andradepaper.htm ) contributed these findings of his own to the debate:

“As a matter of fact we have found, after several tens of thousand of patients, that we can tap, massage, touch, pinch, etc. anywhere, "points" or not, meridians" or not, "sham points" or not. Any inch of skin where there is innervation or mucous surfaces,are good to tap. Yes, there are some areas that are more efficient than others: more mechanoreceptors under the skin. And there are some hsue (sic) with specific "functional" actions.”
