How to Tap: learn the basic EFT routine

An EFT resource to lower and manage stress whether acute or at irritation level. To make you feel better.

Before you start:

IMPORTANT: Stress and Anxiety is triggered by an event, specific words or a memory from the past.  Tapping can and will lower stress levels. To discover the core reason for this limiting pattern of behaviour it is recommended you work with a qualified practitioner who can help you to clear the issue.

• Consider the issue
• Where do you feel it in your body?
• Describe the feeling. Is it e.g. sharp, squidgy, dull?
• Can you give it a colour?
• Has it a size?

Consider the issue, be specific and quite short in length, use words TRUE to you and change the words as necessary.

The first two rounds are very repetitive- then you can adapt to say what is true to you.

If you get stuck

• You are not saying words which are true to the situation

• You may need to be really specific eg say- this ‘irritating, blind panic, deep fear, this restricting nonsense’

I have a YouTube channel with various tapping routines.     Anger, Fear and Anxiety, EFT and it’s benefits, and more.

Routine

Step 1

Start tapping Karate Point 3 times

Even though I feel so stressed (or so frightened, or so fearful, or so shit scared about ………… (the issue)

(I accept myself as a good and kind person)

(change this to whatever you are comfortable with; you will know when you are ready to change it

Tapping Points

Corner of Eye: This fear when I think about…….

Side of Eye: This deep fear

Under Nose: This number -between 1 which is low to 10 – very high, stress in my…….

Under bottom Lip: This stress

Collar Bone: This stress and fear

Under Arm: This deep stress and fear

REPEAT

Then tap on Karate point and take a couple of deep breaths.

• Consider how you feel. Any change? Has the number gone up, down, stayed the same?
• Repeat Step 1 again. Make MINOR changes re What number, Where you feel it.

Step 2  After some deep breathing and considering how you now feel, continue with

K.P 3 times repeating

Even tho I have remaining (your word) fear of flying

I accept I am a good and decent person

Even tho I still have remaining stress and frustration, and I don’t want to!

I accept I am a good person and deserve to be calmer about flying

Karate Point

A couple of deep breaths

————————————————————————

Keep repeating this basic Format –

• 5 or 10 minutes very regularly when acute

• 5 or 10 minutes twice a day

• 5 minutes once a day, when everything is GOOD

  And this works best when you are thinking: ‘I don’t have time or I certainly can’t be bothered doing this!’

This works with any level of fear or pain so that you will ease an anxiety, stress, fear, guilt, sadness……….ANY emotion.

This can be done silently, privately and discreetly at meetings etc ( and you can say what you like) because you tap along finger points, or just one finger point
