EFT Tapping Instructions
1. Choose an issue
Pick one emotion or problem to focus on—something that’s bothering you right now. Keep it simple and specific.
2. Rate the intensity
On a scale of 0–10, how strong is the emotion or discomfort right now? (10 is the most intense.)
3. Create your setup statement
Acknowledge the issue while affirming yourself.
Example:
“Even though I feel anxious about this situation, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
4. Tap the points
Gently tap each point about 5–7 times while repeating a phrase like “this anxiety.” If a point feels uncomfortable, you can hold or gently rub it instead. You may tap with 2 fingers or 5 fingers depending on the point (see below). Switch hands anytime if one gets tired.
Tapping points in order with finger guidance:
Side of the hand (karate chop point) — 2 fingers
Eyebrow (start of brow, near nose) — 2 fingers
Side of eye (outer corner on bone) — 2 fingers
Under eye (on bone beneath eye) — 2 fingers
Under nose (between nose and upper lip) — 2 fingers
Chin (indentation below lower lip) — 2 fingers
Collarbone (just below collarbone) — 5 fingers (whole hand gently)
Under arm (about 4 inches below armpit) — 5 fingers (whole hand gently)
Top of the head — 5 fingers (whole hand gently)
5. Take a deep breath
After completing a full round, pause and take a slow, deep breath.
6. Check in
Rate the intensity again from 0–10. Has it shifted? If it’s still high, repeat another round using updated wording if needed (for example, “this remaining anxiety”).
Many emotional challenges are connected to deeper core beliefs and recurring patterns that we might not always see clearly on our own. Working through these blind spots can be difficult without support. Having a knowledgeable guide, like an experienced EFT coach, can provide insight and gentle encouragement to help you navigate those hidden layers with care and clarity. If you’re curious and ready for a change, I invite you to book a chat with me.
