The basics of Emotional Freedom Techniques are easy to learn and there are instructions below, if you would like to try tapping on yourself.

EFT is a very effective self-help tool.  As with all tools, you can use them simply and get good results...  and in the hands of a professional you can do remarkable things!

The best way to learn EFT is with an experienced trainer.  I can guide you through the process, so that you are taken care of every step of the way, and we can acheive the results that you are looking for, quickly and easily.

But if you would like to try it now, here are the basics...

Think about something that is bothering you:

e.g. I have a headache; I feel anxious; I'm craving a cigarette; I feel tired; my back hurts; I don't want to make this phone call etc

Create a set-up statement that includes the issue you want to tap on:

"Even though... (insert your issue) ... I'm ok."

e.g. “Even though I'm feeling anxious, I’m ok."

Repeat this statement out loud three times, whilst tapping rapidly and firmly on the "karate chop" point on the side of your hand (below your little finger and above the top of your wrist).

Now you are going to tap on the points below, whilst at the same time saying a reminder phrase at each tapping point, to help you "tune in" to what is bothering you.

e.g. "I'm feeling anxious" or "I have a headache" or "I feel tired"

Tap rapidly and lightly with your finger tips, on the following points, whilst at the same time saying your reminder phrase. Aim to tap about 7 times on each point (but it does not have to be exact!)

1. Eyebrow – at the beginning of your eyebrows, just above your nose
2. Side of your eye – on the bone right next to the outside side of your eye
3. Under your eye – on the bone, about an inch below your pupil
4. Under your nose – above your top lip
5. Chin – mid way below your bottom lip
6. Collar bone – about where a man would knot his tie
7. Under your arm – in the middle of your bra strap (if you were wearing one)
8. Crown of your head

While you are tapping, keep repeating the reminder phrase and really tune in to that thought or feeling.

Assess how you are feeling now. If there is still some of the feeling left, repeat the process. Some things take time and persistence!

Some people find they can make themselves feel better, tapping on their own.  For others it can be much easier doing it with someone else!
