How To Tap

TAPPING POINTS AND HOW TO TAP

If you are new to EFT, it is always a good idea to have at least one session with a qualified EFT practitioner. An experienced practitioner will be able to target specific issues and quite literally “tap” into underlying emotional blockages that you may not even have been aware of. It may take several sessions to finally unravel the layers of negative emotions that have built up over the years. Although the initial results are usually very impressive, EFT should be seen as an exciting journey that becomes richer and more intense the further you delve into it.

Of course, once you have experienced an EFT session, you may also wish to pactise EFT on yourself and in the privacy of your own environment. Below you will find an outline of the basic EFT “recipe” to help you get started.

Basic EFT Recipe

Set-up:

  1. Check the emotional level of the problem, locate it in your body and rate its intensity on a scale of 0-10.
  2. Set-up statement: while tapping on karate chop point (or rubbing sore spot), repeat three times:
    “Even though (insert problem), I deeply and completely love and accept myself.”

Sequence:

  1. Take 2 fingers and tap 6-8 times on each point while staying focussed on the problem, repeating “this xxx” at each point.
    “This (insert problem as above).”
  2. Take a deep breath and check your emotional level, and what has changed when you revisit the problem.
  3. Repeat the process if any intensity remains or if any other issues come up.
