I. The Set-up

Rub the tender spot (on both sides if possible) in a circular motion, while making the set-up statement “Even though I have this (insert your issue), I deeply love and accept myself. Continuing rubbing while saying the statement 3 times.

 

Examples of different ways to do a Setup Statement: 

"Even though I have this fear of public speaking, I deeply and completely accept myself."

 

"Even though I have this headache, I deeply love and accept myself."

 

"I deeply and completely accept myself, even though I'm really angry at my father."

 

"Even though I have this stiffness in my neck, I deeply love and accept myself."

 

"I deeply love and accept myself, even though I have this craving for alcohol."

 

"Even though I have this fear of snakes, I deeply love and accept myself."

 

"I deeply and profoundly accept myself, even though I’m really depressed.”

 

II. The Sequence (or tapping)

Tap each of the following points 5-7 times while saying the reminder statement. Use a reminder statement of “This (insert your issue)”.  Example; “This fear of snakes” or “My anger at mother”, “The pain in my lower back” etc.  Click here to go back to the tapping points page.

 

Here are the points to tap on:

1.  EB= Eyebrow point-,at the beginning of the eyebrow, just above and to the side of the nose.

2.  SE= Side of the Eye, on the bone bordering the outside of the eye.

3.  UE= Under the Eye, on the bone directly under the eye.

4.  UN= Under Nose, in the center of the area between the nose and top lip.

5.  Ch= Chin, in the center between the bottom lip and bottom of the chin.

6.  CB= Collar bone, the junction where the collarbone, sternum and rib first meet.

7.  UA= Under the Arm, on the side of the body approximately 4 inches below the armpit.

 

Optional Points: Why not throw them in, it only takes a few more seconds...

8.  TH= On the outside edge of the thumb, right next to the base of the fingernail.

9.  IF=  Index finger, on the same spot as on the thumb

10. MF= Middle finger, on the same spot as on the thumb

11. RF= Ring finger, on the same spot as on the thumb (skipping the ring finger)

12. KC= Karate Chop point. At the base of both little fingers

13. LS=Liver spot (not shown on diagram)=about 2” under your breast and a few inches toward your side.

14. CRH= Crown of the head- not the top but toward the back, just before it goes vertical 

15. WR= Wrists. The inside base of each wrist can be tapped together.  Also good points for stress

See the Tapping Points page for these locations

 

III. Fine Tuning – “9 Point Gamut” - Balancing the right and left hemispheres of the brain. You can do this process at the end of each round, or only once, after an issue is almost alleviated and has been reduced to a 1 or 2 intensity.

 

Locate the gamut point on the back of your hand which is between the little finger and ring finger and down about an inch.  Tap on that spot while repeating the reminder phrase and while doing the following sequence:

 

1.    Close your eyes tightly, then open wide

2.    While keeping your head still and by using your eyes only, look down hard to the right, then hard to the left. (Remember to keep tapping keep and repeating the reminder statement.)

3.    Roll your eyes around in a big circle (keep your head straight ahead) as if looking at all the hands on a big clock. (keep tapping and repeating the reminder phrase)

4.    Roll your eyes around in the opposite direction (Keep tapping and saying the reminder statement)

5.    Hum 2 seconds of a familiar song like “Happy Birthday” or “Jingle Bells”.

6.    Count rapidly from 1 to 5

7.    Again hum 2 seconds of the song

 

Do another round of the tapping procedure starting with the Eyebrow point and ending after the karate chop, while saying the reminder statement.

 

IV. Subsequent Rounds – Once you have completed the first round of tapping, reassess your intensity level and note the change.  If the problem is less severe, but still noticeable, change the set-up set statement to something like this: “Even though there’s still some remaining (whatever the issue is ....) I deeply and completely accept myself” Repeat it 3 times while rubbing. Then, repeat the tapping sequence with an altered reminder statement of “still some of this… or remaining (issue)”

 

Keep repeating this procedure until the intensity on the issue has dropped below a 3.  When there’s very little of it remaining, tap one more time with the setup statement of “I choose to fully overcome (or eliminate) this (problem, fear, issue, etc.) and I deeply love and accept myself”.  Do the sequence, (the tapping) down to the karate point, then the 9- point gamut (with humming and eye work), then the tapping round again down to the karate chop.  By now the issue should be completely resolved.   Here’s a summary of everything to help bring it home….


 

 A Nutshell Summary of the Above

1st Round - Find Sore Spot and rub while doing the Set-up phrase “Even though I have this…(issue), I deeply love and accept myself.”

Tapping Points- Tap all points down to the karate chop while saying the reminder statement.

GAMUT - Eye work, humming, & counting, while still tapping

Tapping Points again –with reminder statement down to the karate chop.  Check to see how you feel on the  1-10 scale.

 

2nd Round -- Set up phrase; “Even though I still have some this…(issue), I deeply love & accept myself.”

Tapping Points- down to the karate chop, while saying reminder statement

GAMUT - Eye work, humming, and counting, while still tapping

Tapping Points again –with reminder statement “remaining (…issue)

Check again to see how you feel.  Repeat this round if intensity is above a 3.

 

3rd Round or Final Round if necessary - When issue is 3 or less. Use the Set up phrase of; “I choose to completely overcome (or let go of) this (…issue) and I deeply love and accept myself.”

Tapping Points- with reminder statement down to karate chop

GAMUT - Eye work, humming, and counting, while still tapping

Tapping Points again –with reminder statement of “completely overcoming (whatever the issue is)”

 

 

The Shortcut

 

Once you’ve mastered the above technique, try moving on to the Shortcut.  Instead of the entire sequence, just do the set-up, and all the tapping points down to under the arm.  Do it twice then take a reading on your intensity or “SUDs” level (Subjective Units of Distress).  If it went down, then the shortcut worked for you and you may skip the Gamut with the fingers, eye work, humming, etc. But repeating the shortcut steps until you’re down to a zero. If it didn’t work for you, do the entire sequence, including the eye-work, gamut, fingers, etc.   Always keep going until you’re at a zero of intensity.  Completely overcoming an issue will likely keep the issue from returning. 

 

Note: If you get stuck or find you’re not getting the results you want, then you may be 1) experiencing a psychological reversal or 2) a sensitivity to a substance that’s blocking your progress or 3) be dehydrated. If that’s the case you may need to see or talk to an EFT practitioner.  You can also visit our website to read what to do about the above problems.

 

Other tips:

¨      For tapping, use the index finger, middle finger and ring finger, at least, or all four fingers are fine.

¨      Tap on both sides of your body when possible.

¨      If you can only do one side of the sore spot rub, use the left side, over your heart.

¨      Do the karate chop several times during the day to keep from being reversed.  Do it every time you’re at a stop light, in the shower, on the toilet, every time you drink water, etc. (15-20 times a day).

¨      Do EFT while undisturbed (turn off your cell phone, put the kids in front of the TV, etc.)

¨      Take off your watch, bracelets or glasses and remove any electrical “appliances” like cell phones, Palm Pilots, Walkmans, pagers, etc. from you body

¨      Drink a lot of water daily—at least 64 oz.

¨      Do the Personal Peace Process everyday (see our website if don’t already have the instructions)

¨         And most importantly:  Practice EFT every day.

 

Doing EFT consistently and properly can give you the emotional freedom and inner peace now, that most people crave throughout their lives.  Among other things:

  •  EFT can help you go through life with less stress, pain, grief and angst.
  •  EFT can help you feel happier, more joyful, and more fulfilled.
  • EFT can help you experience life with more peace, power and purpose.

 

Like anything worthwhile, EFT will only work if you use it!
