Picture tutorial: EFT tapping points and how to use EFT

karate chop point Set up: To begin, use your dominant hand (right hand if you are right handed or left if you are left handed) to tap on the fleshy part of the side of your other hand. This fleshy part is called the Karate Chop since this is the part you would use if you were breaking a brick using Karate. While tapping the Karate Chop, we say a set-up phrase about 3 times. An example of a set up phrase could be, “Even though I’m so upset about this situation, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself”. After this, we choose a reminder phrase, something that will help us keep our attention on the issue as we tap on the rest of the points. Say, ‘this problem’ or ‘this anger’. We tap on 8 points while repeating the reminder phrase:

start of the eyebrow 1. Start of the eyebrow. This is the bony part where the eyebrow begins. Use the tips of 1 or 2 fingers to tap on both the eyebrow points or just one.

side of the eye point 2. Side of the eye. This is the bony part beside the eye. Use 2 or 3 fingers to tap on one or both sides of the face.

under the eye point 3. Under the eye. This is the bony part on the socket of the eye, located below the pupils. Use 2 or 3 fingers to gently pat this area on one or both sides of the face.

EFT under the nose point 4. Under the nose. This is the area between the upper lip and the nose. Use 2 or 3 fingers to tap on this area.

EFT chin point 5. Above the chin. This point is located at the indentation below the lower lip. Use 2 or 3 fingers to tap here.

EFT collar bone point 6. Collar bone. This point is located at the fleshy part under the collar bone. Use 3 or 4 fingers to pat this area so you won’t miss the right spot.

under arm tapping point 7. Under the arm. This point is located about 4 inches under the armpit, aligned with the seam of your clothing. Use your palm to pat this area, so you’ll cover a greater area and won’t miss the exact spot.

EFT top of the head point 8. Top of the head. This point is located at the top of your head. Cup your hand and use your fingers to tap this general area or use your palm to pat it gently.

This completes one round of EFT tapping. You repeat tapping for a few more rounds till you start feeling decidedly better and peaceful about the problem. One round of EFT takes less than a minute. Normally, you start feeling better from the first round itself.

Step #2 Tap Along

Once you are armed with the knowledge of how to use EFT (which is pretty easy by the way), it is time to solve those problems and bring on those changes.

Here’s my video that tells you what to say while tapping. Wording is important, since it reflects how we feel inside. The secret of EFT lies in how intensely we are able to access our feelings. So without further ado, let’s watch the video:

One you have neutralized negative emotions such as anger or nervousness, it is time to tap in some positive statements. In the next video, I show you how to know when to start tapping on positive statements in EFT.
