Basic EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

Filed Under Healing Exercises 

If you are not familiar with the location of the EFT points on your body, take a look at the illustration on my web page at:

http://www.emotionalfreedom.com/articles/eftprocess.html#eftpic

Begin by identifying and tuning in to the issue you wish to address.

Step #1 The Set-up: While continuously rubbing the Sore Spot (tender area left side of chest) in a small circle, repeat three times, out loud, this affirmation: “Even though I have this…….(insert the condition- for example “Sadness and Fear”)…, I deeply and completely love and accept myself”.

Step #2 The Sequence: Tap about 7 times on each of the following energy points (while repeating just the words of the issue or condition – For example “This sadness & fear”) : EB, SE, UE, UN, Ch, CB, UA, Th., IF, MF, BF, KC. The abbreviations for these points are summarized here in the order in which they should be tapped.

1. EB = Beginning of either Eyebrow (tap on inside end of eyebrow, nearer nose)

2. SE = Side of each Eye (tap on bone)

3. UE = Under the Eye (tap on bone)

4. UN = Under the Nose, (tap above upper lip)

5. Ch = Beneath lower lip (tap at crease of Chin)

6. CB = Beginning of either Collar Bone (end nearer throat)

7. UA = Under either Arm (tap about 4” below armpit)

8. Th = Thumb (tap outside side of thumb near base of nail)

9. IF = Index Finger (tap side next to thumb, near base of nail)

10. MF = Middle Finger (tap side nearer thumb, by base of nail)

11. BF = Baby Finger (tap side nearer ring finger, by base of nail)

12. KC = Karate Chop area (using 3 or 4 fingers, tap along outside edge of other hand)

Step #3- The 9-Gamut Procedure: Continuously tap on the Gamut point (located on the back of the hand, about an inch back from the knuckle of little finger & ring finger) while performing each of the following 9 actions: Eyes Closed, Eyes Open, Eyes looking down hard Right, Eyes down hard Left, Roll the Eyes in a Circle clockwise, Roll the Eyes in a Circle counter-clockwise, Hum two seconds of a Song, Count to 5 out loud, Hum two seconds of a Song.

Step #4 Repeat the entire Sequence (Step#2, above) once more.

    Hi Richard,
    I have been using EFT for the past 5 years now and I use it on everything and anything. Once you learn it than you can also use the short cutsfor the tapping process. I also use it on my children and it works almost like magic..thanks for sharing this important information for all to see.

    Blessings,
