Points for reducing tension in the body.
Sometimes it only takes tapping on a single point to bring the mind and/or body back into balance. When on the golf course or driving range it only took a few taps on the collar bone to ensure that my next shot went straight. Tapping can be done discreetly wherever you are or one can work one’s way through all the points for maximum effectiveness.
Points Positions for Psychological Reversal.
A set point is generally a predetermined defined range. It can be equated to a programmable thermostat or cruise control, such that despite external influences (weather fluctuations or hills and valley’s) the predetermined set point is honoured. So to in our personal circumstances we have a comfort zone that is a psychological in nature. When our psychological safety is at stake we are not interested in change, or broader perceptions. Intellectually we may be interested but emotionally and psychologically we are locked in. These particular spots on the body to a better job of unlocking these psychological hand and ankle cuffs that restrict our ability.
Tapping Tips
The Sequence is very simple in concept. It involves tapping on the end points of the major energy meridians in the body and is the method by which the disconnect or “zzzzzt” in the energy system is balanced out.
Tapping tips: You can tap with either hand but it is usually more convenient to do so with your dominant hand (i.e. right hand if you are right handed).
Tap with the fingertips of your index finger and middle finger. This covers a little larger area than just tapping with one fingertip and allows you to cover the tapping points more easily.
Tap solidly but never so hard as to hurt or bruise yourself.
Tap about 7 times on each of the tapping points. I say about 7 times because you will be repeating a “reminder phrase” (covered later) while tapping and it will be difficult to count at the same time. If you are a little over or a little under 7 (5 to 9, for example) that will be sufficient.
Most of the tapping points exist on either side of the body. It does not matter which side you use nor does it matter if you switch sides during The Sequence. For example, you can tap under your right eye and, later in The Sequence, tap under your left arm.
The points: Each energy meridian has two end points. For the purposes of The Basic Recipe, you need only tap on one end to balance out any disruptions that may exist in it. These end points are near the surface of the body and are thus more readily accessed than other points along the meridians that may be more deeply buried. What follows are instructions on how to locate the end points of those meridians that are important to The Basic Recipe. Taken together….and done in the order presented….they form The Sequence.
Please notice that these tapping points generally proceed down the body, simplifying the order. That is, each tapping point is below the one before it. That should make it a snap to memorize. A few trips through it and it should be yours forever.
Gary Craig has a Youtube video on the Basic EFT recipe and Tapping Points. You can learn the points from the founder of EFT and the man I learned EFT from.
Additional points can be found on Gary’s video on Other Points this includes the finger tips and the 9 gamut point.
In March of 2005 I was at an EFT workshop hosted by Gary Craig where I met Brad Yates. Brad and I have stayed friends since. He has a 5 minute Introductory video on EFT.
