Proper EFT Tapping
It's All in the Fingertips
While it is important to tap the correct area, you need not worry about being absolutely precise, as tapping the general area is sufficient.
The first thing to understand is that you will be tapping with your fingers. There are a number of acupuncture meridians on your fingertips, and when you tap with your fingertips you are also likely using not only the meridians you are tapping on, but also the ones on your fingers.
Either hand works just as well. Most of the tapping points exist on either side of the body, so it doesn't matter which side you use, nor does it matter if you switch sides during the tapping. For example, you can tap under your right eye and, later in the tapping, under your left arm.
Ideally, you will want to use your fingertips, not your finger pads as they have more meridian points. However, if you are a woman with long fingernails you should of course use your finger pads.
Tap Solidly - But Don't Hurt Yourself!
You should tap solidly, but never so hard as to hurt or bruise yourself.
When you tap on the points outlined below, you will tap about 5-10 times. The actual number is not critical, but ideally should be about the length of time it takes for one full breath.
Please notice that these tapping points proceed down the body. That is, each tapping point is below the one before it. That should make it a easy to memorise. You can tap the points in any order and sequence, just so long as all the points are covered. It’s just easier to go from top to bottom to make sure you remember to do them all.
Finding the Right Tapping Points
The tapping points, and their abbreviations, are explained below, followed by a chart of the points. They are presented below in the exact order in which they should be tapped.
The abbreviations for these points are summarised below in the same order as given above. It is, again, the order in which they should be tapped:
KC = Kararte Chop
