An EFT Tapping routine to help you lower and manage stress whether acute or at irritation level.
IMPORTANT:
Stress and Anxiety are triggered by an event, specific words or a memory from the past. Tapping can help to lower stress levels. To discover the core reason for this limiting pattern of behaviour it is recommended to work with a qualified practitioner who can help you to clear the issue.
Before you start
- Consider the issue
- Where do you feel it in your body?
- Describe the feeling. Is it e.g. sharp, squiggy, dull?
- Has it a colour or size?
All these specifics make it easier to release the internalised stress because the description felt at cellular level, is true to you. Change the words as you see fit.
Top Tip:
If you get stuck and sense that the number or stress levels are still very high
- You are not saying words which are true to the situation.
- Be really specific e.g. this ‘irritating, blind panic, or, this deep irritation, or, this restricting behaviour’.

————————————————————————
Keep repeating this basic format
- 5 or 10 minutes regularly when acute
- 5 or 10 minutes twice a day
- 5 minutes once a day, when everything is good
This does work and it works when you think ‘I don’t have time or I certainly can’t be bothered doing this!’ It works at a coping level of anxiety, stress, guilt, sadness…….any emotion.
