Tapping in 5 steps<\/strong>
\nEFT tapping can be divided into five steps. If you have more than one issue or fear, you can repeat this sequence to address it and reduce or eliminate the intensity of your negative feeling.<\/p>\n

1. Identify the issue<\/strong>
\nIn order for this technique to be effective, you must first identify the issue or fear you have. This will be your focal point while you\u2019re tapping. Focusing on only one problem at a time is purported to enhance your outcome.<\/p>\n

2. Test the initial intensity<\/strong>
\nAfter you identify your problem area, you need to set a benchmark level of intensity. The intensity level is rated on a scale from 0 to 10, with 10 being the worst or most difficult. The scale assesses the emotional or physical pain and discomfort you feel from your focal issue.<\/p>\n

Establishing a benchmark helps you monitor your progress after performing a complete EFT sequence. If your initial intensity was 10 prior to tapping and ended at 5, you\u2019d have accomplished a 50 percent improvement level.<\/p>\n

3. The setup<\/strong>
\nPrior to tapping, you need to establish a phrase that explains what you\u2019re trying to address. It must focus on two main goals:<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the issues<\/strong>
\naccepting yourself despite the problem
\nThe common setup phrase is: \u201cEven though I have this [fear or problem], I deeply and completely accept myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can alter this phrase so that it fits your problem, but it must not address someone else\u2019s. For example, you can\u2019t say, \u201cEven though my mother is sick, I deeply and completely accept myself.\u201d You have to focus on how the problem makes you feel in order to relieve the distress it causes. It\u2019s better to address this situation by saying, \u201cEven though I\u2019m sad my mother is sick, I deeply and completely accept myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. EFT tapping sequence<\/strong>
\nThe EFT tapping sequence is the methodic tapping on the ends of nine meridian points.<\/p>\n

There are 12 major meridians that mirror each side of the body and correspond to an internal organ. However, EFT mainly focuses on these nine:<\/p>\n

\n
• Karate chop (KC):<\/strong> small intestine meridian<\/li>\n
• Top of head (TH):<\/strong> governing vessel<\/li>\n
• Eyebrow (EB):<\/strong> bladder meridian<\/li>\n
• Side of the eye (SE):<\/strong> gallbladder meridian<\/li>\n
• Under the eye (UE):<\/strong> stomach meridian<\/li>\n
• Under the nose (UN):<\/strong> governing vessel<\/li>\n
• Chin (Ch):<\/strong> central vessel<\/li>\n
• Beginning of the collarbone (CB):<\/strong> kidney meridian<\/li>\n
• Under the arm (UA):<\/strong> spleen meridian<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Begin by tapping the karate chop point while simultaneously reciting your setup phrase three times. Then, tap each following point seven times, moving down the body in this ascending order:<\/p>\n

  \n
  • eyebrow<\/li>\n
  • side of the eye<\/li>\n
  • under the eye<\/li>\n
  • under the nose<\/li>\n
  • chin<\/li>\n
  • beginning of the collarbone<\/li>\n
  • under the arm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    After tapping the underarm point, finish the sequence at the top of the head point.<\/p>\n

    While tapping the ascending points, recite a reminder phrase to maintain focus on your problem area. If your setup phrase is, \u201cEven though I\u2019m sad my mother is sick, I deeply and completely accept myself,\u201d your reminder phrase can be, \u201cThe sadness I feel that my mother is sick.\u201d Recite this phrase at each tapping point. Repeat this sequence two or three times.<\/p>\n

    5. Test the final intensity<\/strong>
    \nAt the end of your sequence, rate your intensity level on a scale from 0 to 10. Compare your results with your initial intensity level. If you haven\u2019t reached 0, repeat this process until you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
