EFT tapping is a simple self help tool that can be used to reduce and even eliminate emotional, mental or physical discomfort. It involves gentle tapping on various meridian points on the body.

The diagram below shows you where the tapping meridian points are. Note, the Karate Chop point or the Sore Spot are used with the Set Up Statement (just prior to tapping thru the rest of the points listed below). The Set up Statement is Part One of this EFT Technique. The remainder of the points are used in Part 2 of the EFT Technique: Meridian Tapping.

Please note that the meridian tapping points exist on each side of the body and it doesn't matter which side you tap on. For instance, the eyebrow point exist at the beginning of the eyebrow, on each eyebrow. So, when tapping the EB point, you can tap on your left eyebrow or right eyebrow. The same goes for the rest of the meridian tapping points.

Like the diagram above, these points are listed in the order of the tapping sequence used in this basic EFT Technique, which is the foundation for all EFT tapping.

This tapping sequence was taught to me by EFT Coach, Deb Falzon. It is based on Gary Craig's (the founder of EFT) original tapping sequence, with some adaptations.

EB (Beginning of Eyebrow) - Located at the beginning of eyebrow, just above and to one side of the nose.

SE (Side of Eye) - On the bone bordering the outside corner of the eye.

UE (Under the Eye) - On the bone under eye about one inch below pupil.

UN (Under the Nose) - The small area between the bottom of your nose and top of your upper lip.

CH (Chin) - Midway between point of chin and bottom of lower lip.

CB (Beginning of Collarbone)- The place where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet. Place your finger in the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone (about where a man would knot his tie). From the bottom of the U, move your forefinger down toward the navel 1 inch and then go to the left (or right) 1 inch.

BN*(Below the Nipple - Also called the "Liver Point) - For men, one inch below the nipple. For women, where the under skin of the breast meets the chest wall.

UA (Under the Arm) - About 4 inches below the armpit. For men this point is in line with the nipple and for women, it's in the middle of the bra strap.

WP* (Wrist Point) - The underside of the wrist, where the base of the hand and wrist meet.

TOH* (Top of Head) - Follow the top of your ears to the top of your head and that's the TOH point.

* These points (BN, WP, TOH) are not part of Gary Craig's original tapping points but it has been found that they are beneficial to include. I find this tapping sequence to work very well.
