What is EFT Energy Tapping?
EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as The Tapping Method, uses a blend of modern psychology and ancient Chinese medicine. Specifically, from the Chinese medicine perspective we work with the meridian system which is like a massive network of pathways, channels or lines which carries โQiโ (life force) energy to the whole body. These pathways help maintain balance, harmony and that feeling of good general health and wellbeing. Any imbalance can cause blocks in our meridians and therefore influence disease, sickness or other physical or mental problems.
Through the combination of tapping on specific meridian points (some of the same points used in acupuncture) and focusing on the negative emotional problem at hand, you can clear the blockage and restore balance and calm in your body and mind again.
Tapping can be used on such a vast spectrum of different emotional and physical challenges from stress, fear, worry, and anxiety to more severe problems like trauma (including childhood trauma) and phobias. You can use it to overcome anxiety, weight problems, chronic pain, sleep problems, stomach issues, chronic pain, lack of motivation, depression and negative emotional patterns and belief systems that donโt serve your highest good. The list is honestly endless.

How does EFT Tapping work?
EFT works similar to Acupuncture, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) but instead of using needles in EFT we stimulate the major meridian points by applying pressure through โtappingโ or light massage with our fingertips. The basic recipe for tapping starts by interrupting the negative emotion by focusing on it and then we create a statement about the actual problem feeling. This could be anything like a worry, a fear or any unresolved problem. For example, a setup statement could be, โEven though, I have this fear and I am feeling a lot fear right now, I deeply and completely love and accept myselfโ.
This statement helps you to bring acceptance and acknowledgement to the problem instead of pushing it away. At the same time as saying this statement, you also use your fingertips to tap nine major meridian points on your body, each about seven times. This combination of talking and tapping, tells the amygdala part in the brain that you are not in any physical danger right now and that itโs okay to feel relaxed, calm and safe, all of which reduces cortisol levels. Which as we know when cortisol is soaring it basically shouts โFEARโ at our nervous system which creates stress in our bodies, so itโs brilliant that EFT can greatly reduce this instantaneously. Amazing right?!

The Basic Tapping Steps For EFT...
EFT can be used on so many things, I encourage you to go wild and try it on whatever and whenever something is holding you back or causing you any physical or mental dis-ease in your body.
It works quickly and effectively and creates lasting change to your general health and wellbeing.
Here is the basic sequence to begin:
- 1. Identify the problem โ think about the problem or emotion and then focus on how it feels in your body. Try not to be judgmental and allow yourself to feel honestly and become aware of what is being felt internally for you.
- 2. Note how bad and intense it feels right now on a scale 0-10 with 10 being the most intense.
- 3. Begin tapping on the karate chop point or start gently rubbing sore spot.
- 4. Compose your set up statement, this should acknowledge the problem followed by an acceptance affirmation.
- 5. Repeat the set-up statement three times out loud whilst tapping the karate chop point or rubbing sore spot. An example of a set up statement is, โEven though I have this huge problem and it doesnโt feel good, I deeply and completely, love and accept myself.โ If saying โI love and accept myselfโ doesnโt feel true for you, an alternative could be โI am willing to learn to love and accept myselfโ.
- 6. Take a deep breath.
- 7. Choose a shortened reminder phase like, โI have this huge problemโ or โthis huge problemโ and say this on each point as you tap about 5-7 times on each of the other points starting from the top of the eyebrow point down and then finishing at the top of the head.
- 8. Take a deep breath.
- 9. Check in again and feel into how intense this feeling or problem is still. If itโs higher than 2/3 then repeat another round but you could change the initial setup statement to something like, โEven though there is still some of this problem remaining, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.โ
- 10. Once your problem is lower than a 2 this is where you can move onto tapping and speaking positive affirmations out loud. Itโs important you donโt move onto the affirmations before you have cleared the negative emotions first. A bit like a garden, you wouldnโt plant new seeds where thereโs lots of weeds. You need to deal with the weeds first, clear the space and then plant the seeds in the fresh soil.
- 11. Positive affirmations could be anything like, โI feel so good, I am great at what I do, I love myself, my needs are important, I matter, I am abundant in every area of my life.โ Choose words that affirm how you want to feel and aligns with your highest truth. Let yourself soak it all up so you really FEEL the energy of what you want and become it.
'I wanted to thank you for the time we spent together online and for your kindness. It actually worked even once!!! I enjoyed the intimacy between us the most, so I could tell you everything without feeling awkward. I felt so much better after our session and for the first time I felt someone understood what Iโm talking about. I canโt wait for more online sessions with you.'
