EFT Tapping Points
EFT Tapping Points on the Hand

Think of some issue that is troubling you and give it a simple name (fear of public speaking, headache, anger at Bob, stiff neck, inability to take action, etc.) - this will be your Reminder Phrase. Rate your discomfort on a scale of 0-10 so that you can monitor your progress with each issue.

1. The Setup: While continuously tapping the Tender Spot OR Karate Chop point, repeat this affirmation three times:

"Even though I have this ____ (fear, pain, issue with Bob, etc.),
I Deeply and Completely Accept (Love, and Forgive) Myself."



2. The Sequence: Tap between 5 and 10 times on each of the following energy points while repeating the Reminder Phrase at each point:

Crown: "saying once - (this  issue)"
Eyebrow: "saying once - (this  issue)"
Side of eye:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
Under eye:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
Under nose:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
Chin:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
Collarbone:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
4 inches Under arm:
"saying once - (this  issue)"
Then tap on each of the finger nails (lower right corner) skipping the ring finger nail
in the diagram, ending with the KC Point.
3. Take a deep cleansing breath.

THE GAMUT:
(this is the most current method I learned from Gary's DVD's)
Begin tapping your Gamut Point, between the ring and little finger knuckle (in the little indentation between the knuckles)
Close your eyes, then open them. Hold you head erect and still when doing the eye movements.
Move your eyes 'Hard Down and to the Right, then back to straight ahead.
Move your eyes 'Hard Down and to the Left, then back to straight ahead.
Move them slowly around in a clock wise circle.
Move them slowly around in a counter-clock wise circle.

Then take a deep breath, (you'll want to anyways, I always do after the eye movement - and you'll need to take a breath to be able to hum, eh? :-)

Then hum a few bars of your favorite song. (3 - 5 seconds of humming)
Then count out loud 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 ...
Then do the humming again
Then repeat the tapping as above and end with tapping the Karate Chop Point after the fingers.


Now, check in with your body, and see if there is any remaining discomfort--then rate that again on a scale of 0-10.  Repeat this process until significant relief is gained - preferably bringing the discomfort down to a zero. It is very likely that you may feel clear about the specific issue you were focusing on, but it may have brought up another issue.

In subsequent rounds, the Setup Affirmations and the Reminder Phrase are adjusted to new wording, if appropriate,
or to reflect that you are addressing the
REMAINING problem:
"Even tough I
STILL have this ______ (issue) REMAINING, I Totally and Completely Accept (Love and Forgive) Myself "

Suggestions: Tapping is generally done with two or three fingers. You can tap on either side of the body, with either hand.  For the collar bone point, find the place where your collar bones almost meet at the top of your chest and tap that area with fingers or a fist.
