Reduce or release physical pain or emotional distress with tapping and the Emotional freedom technique (EFT).
- Identify your issue/negative feeling
- Rate the intensity of that feeling
- Set up the statement:
“Even though I feel [enter your feeling here] I deeply love and accept myself.” - Start the tapping sequence with tapping 5-7 times on the side of the hand (Karate Chop location) each time you say your statement out loud
- Do this hand-tapping 3 times in total, possibly with different wording to make sure to reach your subconscious, while repeating your statement
- Create a reminder phrase (e.g. “this stress in my body“) and keep your feeling in mind while tapping each of the following tapping points (see graphic, moving down the body) 5-7 times:
- Top of the head
- Between the eyebrows
- Side of the eye
- Under the eye
- Under the nose
- Under the chin
- On your collar bone (use two hands/fingers)
- Under the arm/on the side of your ribcage
- After you’re done, focus on your issue/feeling and check its intensity
- Repeat the technique if the intensity is higher than ‘2’
