EFT TAPPING SEQUENCE

This is an example of the original basic EFT sequence for Anxiety (courtesy of www.efttappingsequence.com - previously known as Try It On Everything  ). To learn more about EFT, look at www.emofree.com, or to see the trailer of the DVD: click on the following link the tapping solution.

Note: familiarise yourself with the tapping points and sequence before you commence tapping:

Try it now with this initial sequence.  Here's how a basic EFT sequence works:

• Identify the problem you want to focus on. It can be general anxiety, or it can be a specific situation or issue which causes you to feel anxious.  
• Consider the problem or situation. How do you feel about it right now? Rate the intensity level of your anxiety, with zero being the lowest level of anxiety and ten being the highest. 
• Compose your set up statement. Your set up statement should acknowledge the problem you want to deal with, then follow it with an unconditional affirmation of yourself as a person. 

"Even though I feel this anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself."

"Even though I'm anxious about my interview, I deeply and completely accept myself.

""Even though I'm feeling this anxiety about my financial situation, I deeply and completely accept myself.

"Even though I panic when I think about ______, I deeply and completely accept myself. "

"Even though I'm worried about how to approach my boss, I deeply and completely accept myself."

"Even though I'm having trouble breathing, I deeply and completely accept myself."

PERFORM THE SET UP:

With four fingers on one hand, tap the Karate Chop point on your other hand. The Karate Chop point is on the outer edge of the hand, on the opposite side from the thumb.

Repeat the set up statement three times aloud, while simultaneously tapping the Karate Chop point. Now take a deep breath!

Get ready to begin tapping! Here are some tips to help you achieve the right technique.

• You should use a firm but gentle pressure, as if you were drumming on the side of your desk or testing a melon for ripeness. 
• You can use all four fingers, or just the first two (the index and middle fingers). Four fingers are generally used on the top of the head, the collarbone, under the arm... wider areas. On sensitive areas, like around the eyes, you can use just two. 
• Tap with your fingertips, not your fingernails. The sound will be round and mellow. 
• The tapping order begins at the top and works down. You can end by returning to the top of the head, to complete the loop. 
• Now, tap 5-7 times each on the remaining eight points in the following sequence: 

Head (H) 
The crown, center and top of the head. Tap with all four fingers on both hands.

Eyebrow (EB)
The inner edges of the eyebrows, closest to the bridge of the nose. Use two fingers.

Side of eye (SE)
The hard area between the eye and the temple. Use two fingers. Feel out this area gently so you don't poke yourself in the eye!

Under eye (UE)
The hard area under the eye, that merges with the cheekbone. Use two fingers, in line beneath the pupil.

Under nose (UN)
The point centered between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip. Use two fingers.

Chin (CH)
This point follows symmetrically with the previous one, and is centered between the bottom of the lower lip and the chin.

Collarbone (CB)
Tap just below the hard ridge of your collarbone with four fingers.

Underarm (UA)
On your side, about four inches beneath the armpit. Use four fingers.

Head (H)
And back where you started, to complete the sequence.

As you tap on each point, repeat a simple reminder phrase, such as "my anxiety" or "my interview" or "my financial situation." Tap firmly with the first two fingers on each hand.

Now take another deep breath!

• Now that you've completed the sequence, focus on your problem again. How intense is the anxiety now, in comparison to a few minutes ago? Give it a rating on the same number scale. 
• If your anxiety is still higher than "2", you can do another round of tapping. Keep tapping until the anxiety is gone. You can change your set up statement to take into account your efforts to fix the problem, and your desire for continued progress. "Even though I have some remaining anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself." "Even though I'm still a little worried about this interview, I deeply and completely accept myself." And so on. 
• Now that you've focused on dispelling your immediate anxiety, you can work on installing some positive feelings instead. 

Note: This is a different approach than traditional "positive thinking." You're not being dishonest with yourself. You're not trying to obscure the stress and anxiety inside yourself with a veneer of insincere affirmations. Rather, you've confronted and dealt with the anxiety and negative feelings, offering deep and complete acceptance to both your feelings and your self. Now, you're turning your thoughts and vibrations to the powerful and positive. That's what makes EFT so much more effective than the "positive thinking" techniques that many of you have already tried. It's not just a mental trick; instead, you're using these positive phrases and EFT tapping to tune into the very real energy of positivity, affirmation, and joy that is implicit inside you. You're actually changing your body's energy into a more positive flow, a more positive vibration.

Here are some example phrases to guide you:

"I have faith in my ability to change."

"I am joyful about these positive changes." 

"I am accomplishing so much."

"I enjoy the calm and peace that I have."

"I love the person that I am."

"I am becoming a more relaxed and joyful person."

You can use these positive phrases with the same EFT tapping points and sequences described above.

Congratulations! You've completed your first EFT sequence.

Back to me (Joanne) again now, thanks to www.tryitoneverything.com.  I just wanted to add that the above is not 100% the original basic recipe as that used to contain the finger tapping points as well as the gamut point (a point on the top of the hand, near the ring finger, hence the ring finger was omitted from the tapping sequence on the hands) and a section which entailed moving the eyes in a certain way, humming and counting!

As EFT has progressed the sequence has changed, although the original way still works just as well, it simply takes a little longer to achieve results - only a matter of seconds but if you are working on a big issue time can be money!  In addition to some of the sequence generally being missed out, there are some relatively new additional tapping points - suggested by Acupuncturists who learned EFT but knew more about the meridians than the founders, of this awesome healing tool for life, and so these recommended points (the head in this case but there are others too) that apparently cover more than one meridian line, have been included to the shortened version ie the version without the gamut point part of the sequence.

Also note that there is a tapping point that is missed out completely by the majority of Practitioners, due to the difficulties, or embarrassment of tapping on it - a few inches below the nipple for men but a tad harder for women to find!

Often, if a client gets stuck on an issue ie the client thinks that EFT isn't working, many Practitioners would resort to the original EFT tapping sequence.  The shortened version is, however, much easier to remember and if you persevere you will get results no matter which version you use!
