Points PDF Instructions. (PDF Format)

1. Focus Your Intention
Think about the animal and what you would specifically like to release,
soothe, relax or change. By focusing your attention on the animal, you
are now connecting your energy system with theirs.
2. The Opening Set-Up
Start by tapping on the karate chop point. If you’re right handed, use
the pads of all four fingers on your right hand to tap on the outside
of the left hand just below the pinky. If you’re left handed, do the
opposite. Tap using the same amount of pressure as you would if you
were bored and tapping on a desk.
While tapping, say this phrase, “Even
though (insert name or description) is (insert statement of problem), I
deeply and completely love and accept (name or description) and (insert
problem).” Repeat this opening statement three times in all,
continuously tapping the karate chop area. This is the main part of
directing your attention to the problem.
3. Tapping All the EFT Meridian
Points
Then, use a shortened version of the opening statement and go to the
top of the head. Tap using the tips of all four fingers on the top of
your head. You can use either both sets of fingers, or just one hand.
Say the shortened version once with intent while tapping on each point.
You will tap each point about seven to nine times. Move down the body
saying the statement while tapping each point as you go along, ending
at the point under the breast. Take a few deep breaths at the end.
• Begin at the Eyebrow (EB) – Where the bone behind your eyebrow turns
into the bridge of your nose.
• Corner of the Eye (SE) – On the bone in the corner of your eye.
• Under the Eye (UE) – On the bone just below your eye, in line with
your pupil if you look straight ahead.
• Under the Nose (UN) – Between your nose and your upper lip.
• Under the Mouth (CH) – In the indentation between your chin and your
lower lip.
• Collarbone (CB) – In the angle formed by your collarbone and the
breastbone
• Under Arm (UA) – in line with a man’s nipples on the side of the
body, on a woman, it’s right where the bra strap is
• Under the Breast (UB) – about 4 inches below a man’s nipples and
directly under the woman’s breast.
You can repeat the treatment using the
same statement or a different statement. Listen to your intuition while
going through the round of tapping. Often something comes to your mind
as you do this. Don’t question it, just go along with whatever your
intuition tells you.
During the second round of tapping, I
usually change the set-up statement by removing the last statement
about the problem. My second statement will only mention the problem in
the very beginning of the statement, not at the end. The reason why I
mention that I love and accept the problem in the first statement is
because I feel that the problem/issue is there for a reason and we need
to honor and show respect for it while at the same time letting it know
that it’s no longer needed.
Different statements create different
changes, so experiment with many different forms of wording and ways of
saying something until you feel comfortable. However, try to be as
specific as possible in order to get to the root cause of the issue.
Since EFT is sometimes compared to
acupuncture without the needles, I think it’s important here to mention
a recent study that was discussed in a USA Today article in 2007.
Researchers placed acupuncture needles purposely in the “wrong”
locations on their patient’s body and were surprised
to find that the patient experienced the same good results regardless
of where the needles were placed.
This shows that the placement of your fingers doesn’t really matter.
EFT seems to work largely because of intent rather than because of the
tapping points or the Meridian points. Try not to get hung up on the
tapping points. Rather, pay attention to your intuition and the intent
behind fixing the problem or issue. The combination of your energy and
your intent will create balance.
I suggest you Practice, Practice,
Practice, and Tap, Tap, Tap. Tap every day and enjoy the results. If
you get stuck or feel like you need help, please contact me for a
consultation or a tapping session.
