How to Tap

Are you interested in what EFT tapping can do for you? EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a proven, non-invasive, effective method to address physical and emotional issues.

The Set Up Statement and Reversal – “Even though I have this issue and part of me is not ready to let it go, for whatever reason, conscious or unconscious, I choose to love and accept myself”. Repeat two times while tapping on the outside of the hands (karate chop points). This does not clear the issue, it simply releases the subconscious resistance to change.

  1. Begin by choosing the condition or issue you would like to address.
  2. Write down your set up statement and focus on the emotions and sensations in your body as you tap.
  3. Measure the intensity of the condition or issue as it exists now while you are tuning in.
  4. Rate the intensity on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high) to begin.
  5. While tapping on the karate chop points on the side of both hands, say the Set Up/Reversal statement twice. For example: ““Even though I have this pain, and part of me is not ready to let this go, for whatever reason, conscious or unconscious, I choose to love and accept myself and all of my feelings”.”
  6. Keep your eyes open and speak the set up statement out loud.

Tap each of the points on the face, under the arm, inside the wrists and crown of the head 5 to 7 times while repeating the Reminder Statement. For example: ““This pain, this pain, this pain”.” Repeat this sequence three times.
