How To Do Tapping – EFT Techniques For Beginners

With just a little basic instruction, you can start Tapping your way to better health, more self-esteem, more abundance and a more peaceful mindset right away.
The exercises are simple, fun, and effective – and results can be nearly instant. Just gently tap your fingertips on your meridian points, while at the same time verbally identifying and acknowledging the problem. While you’re tapping, repeat your thought-changing affirmations, visualize your desired outcome, and overcome your limiting beliefs in just minutes. It’s that simple!
Tapping can be done anytime, anywhere, for fast self-reprogramming results in any area of your life that needs a boost.
 A Beginner’s Guide to Tapping
The verbal commands (affirmations) are spoken while simultaneously lightly tapping the body’s meridian points with your fingertips. Stimulation of these Chinese acupuncture points in combination with psychological techniques helps release mental blocks and their physical manifestations.
The technique is extremely effective because it addresses the source of the fears. Often, this is enough to release the fear. A combination of Tapping and verbal commands will remove even the most stubbornly held fears. 

Which Fears to Address First?

Many of us hold fears around various areas: fear of rejection, fear of being alone, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of pain, fear of poverty, etc. So where do you start?
Typically – and this may vary for you – fear of not being good enough, fear of failure, and fear of rejection are the three biggest fears that people have. Just pick an area of your life where you are struggling (wealth, health, relationships, or career/purpose) and focus on that one area. Targeting one area helps you focus on systematically solving one problem at a time. You may have a lot of crossover fear – for example, fear of not being good enough can manifest in all four life areas -  so addressing that fear in one area will create a ripple effect of improvement in other areas.

The Sequence

1. First, say a “setup statement” while Tapping. The setup statement identifies the problem and hints at the solution. While tapping the karate chop point on either hand, repeat the entire setup statement.
2. Next, perform the “negative tapping sequence” where the current situation is stated clearly and the source of the fear is identified, while gently tapping 7-10 times on each meridian point. Tap the:
    • eyebrow
    • side of eye
    • under eye
    • under nose
    • chin
    • collarbone
    • under arm
    • top of head

It’s important to focus your mind on the negative thought patterns that are causing a problem in your life. This is the process of releasing the negative thought patterns by becoming aware of them and acknowledging that they are not doing you any good but that they have been a part of your life for some time.
3. The negative tapping sequence is followed by tapping each meridian point 7-10 times while simultaneously repeating a different phrase for each point. This is the process of installing new thought patterns.
4. The exercise finishes with a deep breath to help move energy throughout the body. You may feel a huge release immediately or within minutes. You may feel physically unwell for a short time as the emotional toxins work their way out of your body. You may feel euphoric or sad. Whatever you feel is right and normal for you, as your body and mind process the experience.
In many cases, a single treatment addresses many issues. Even the most stubbornly-held beliefs and damaging phobias can be released in minutes; other complex fears may take time, as they may consist of several interrelated fears that all need to be addressed.
You’ll experience a huge motivational boost as you immediately feel the effects of Tapping and as those effects begin to manifest in your actions and your speech!
