EFT Tapping instructions

EFT Tapping Instructions

1. Choose an issue
   Pick one emotion or problem to focus on—something that’s bothering you 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. Switch hands anytime if one gets tired. Tapping points:

   • Side of the hand (karate chop point)

   • Eyebrow

   • Side of eye

   • Under eye

   • Under nose

   • Chin

   • Collarbone

   • Under arm

   • Top of the head

5. Take a deep breath
   After 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 with updated wording if needed (like “this remaining anxiety”).
