Just Follow The Step-By-Step EFT Directions On This Page

In the September 2003 Edition of the prestigious Journal Of Clinical Psychology Steve Wells and his team of EFT practitioners published their groundbreaking study. 

This study demonstrated a simple natural therapy called EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, can relieve the fear of spiders and small insects in just minutes.

Better still the study showed the results lasted in subjects tested over 6 months later.

This is no surprise to EFT practitioners.

This natural safe therapy which you can learn how to do yourself right here on this webpage in just minutes is proven in studies to give relief to many different problems including

- anxiety about going to the dentist
- post traumatic stress disorder (including symptoms such as stress, unreasonable fears, panic attacks, nightmares, and flashbacks) following automobile accidents 
- epileptic seizures in small children

And in clinical practice EFT has been effective on a wide variety of other mental and physical problems including

- reducing blood clumping
- improving eyesight
- losing weight
- quitting smoking
- eliminating fear of water
- increasing test scores
- improving sports performance
- overcoming depression
- dealing with memories of abuse
- improving personal relationships
- and much more

EFT is a technique of tapping on acupuncture points to unravel negative emotions, limiting beliefs, and the emotional core of many physical diseases.

Experienced EFT users typically report an 80% or greater success rate. And often subjects without experience (like you) get rapid, safe and natural relief from their problems without any sophisticated training in over 50% of cases.

Best of all EFT is quick. In minutes or hours you can unravel nagging issues that would otherwise take years of traditional counseling. It is something you can do on your own or with the help of an EFT practitioner.

One of the best ways to learn about EFT is to experience it yourself, which you can do right now...

Note:  Before you proceed, please understand that while EFT has produced remarkable results for others, is a relatively new technique and therefore experimental in nature. By practicing any of the techniques on this or any EFT website, you agree to take full responsibility for your actions.

First let's go over some of the more common tapping points. Later we'll go over how to use them.

EFT Tapping Points:

Head - top of the head

Eyebrow – on your eyebrow on the side nearest to you nose

Side of the eye – on the bony part of the eye socket at the side of your eye

Under the eye – on the bony part of the eye socket under your eye

Under the nose – between your nose and your upper lip

Chin – at the crease between your chin and your lower lip

Collar bone – on your upper ribs right next to where your collar bone and breastbone meet

Sore spot – a “tender spot” below your collar bone and above your breast (and rather than tapping this spot, rub it)

Under the arm – on the side of your body 2-3 inches below your armpit

Ribs – on the side of your body down at your lowest ribs

Fingers – on each finger on the side closest to the thumb where the nail and skin meet

Karate chop – on the edge of you hand below your little finger (the edge you would use to make a karate chop)

9-Gamut – on the back of your hand between and below the knuckles of your little finger and ring finger


How to use the points
When you're beginning to learn EFT, it can be difficult to tell which points are most useful, therefore it is easiest to go with one of a few set sequences. That way you get a feel for where the points are and how they work for you.



Short EFT sequence with a set-up phrase...

1. Identify the issue: So what is bothering you? It helps to be specific.
You could respond “I am angry.” (fairly general)
Or, you could respond “I am feeling angry at that driver for cutting me off in traffic.” (better, more specific)
Usually, the more specific you are with an issue the easier it is to resolve.

2. Rank the issue. On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being nothing and 10 being overwhelming, how strong is this issue for you?
Let's say your response was “5” for feeling angry at the driver for cutting you off in traffic

3. Rub the sore spot while repeating a set-up phrase 3 times:
“I deeply and completely love and accept myself even with these feelings of anger at the driver for cutting me off.”

4. Tap on the following spots while you keep in mind your issue... in this example, your feelings of anger:

Eyebrow
Side of eye
Under eye
Under nose
Chin
Collar bone
Under arm
Head

At each of the points, tap at least 5 times (more is fine) and at a moderate pace (about 2 taps per second). These guidelines are a starting point... as you get more comfortable with EFT, notice what works best for you – and realize that it will most likely change from time-to-time.

5. Take a few relaxed breaths and notice how you feel. Has your rank of the original issue diminished? Has it changed?

5A. If your original issue is down to a 0, congratulations. Try EFT for another issue or go enjoy something else.

5B. If your original issue is less, but not yet 0, there is still more you can do... and I highly recommend that you continue with EFT for that issue until it is down to a 0. Try changing your set-up phrase a bit for the next round, for example “Even though I still have some of these feelings of anger toward the driver for cutting me off in traffic, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” You can also experiment with saying the set-up phase louder or putting extra emphasis on some of the words (Even though I still...)

5C. If your original issue is unchanged...
Check that you are still ranking the same issue. Sometimes the original issue will have diminished but you still have related feelings with high intensity.

For example, you could your “anger for being late” might be a 5 while your “anger at the driver for cutting you off in traffic” is really now a 2. If that is the case, now you have 2 issues you can tap for.

If your original issue is still at a 5, there are a lot of thing you can do and here are a few to try:

- Say your set-up statement louder or with more expression
- Take 3 or more slow, deep breaths
- Drink some water
- Try a set-up phrase like the following: “Even though I don't want to get over these feelings of anger, I deeply and completely love and accept myself anyway.” Then go back to your original setup phrase and see if you can get the rank down.

5D. If your original issue has gone up, you may have tapped into an issue with a deeper underlying core issue.

Keep tapping and try the suggestions offered in 5C.

Also, tap a lot on the collar bone spot, and breathe while doing so. It is great for overwhelming emotions.

Continue tapping and notice if any of the spots bring noticeable relief. If one does, spend some extra time tapping on it.

You may also want to try some of the other spots not included in this short sequence like the karate chop spot, 9 Gamut, and your little finger.
