1. How Do I Tap?

EFT involves tapping with the fingertips.  There are meridian endpoints on the tips of the fingers (as opposed to the pads), so it’s best to curve your fingers and tap with the tips.  If longer nails don’t permit this, just tap with the pads of your fingers.

You want to tap firmly, because you’re activating energy in your energy channels.  But don’t hurt or bruise yourself.

Use all your fingertips clustered together, tapping on both sides of your body at the same time (use both hands).  This involves the most meridians, giving you more bang for your buck!  Studies show this can increase the effectiveness and shorten the time needed to tap.  However, using just one hand and/or just two fingertips will still get you good results.

A good rule of thumb is to tap 5-7 times at each point.  Again, EFT is very flexible, so varying from this won’t hurt anything.

Wrists:  Access the 3 points on each wrist by crossing your wrists, gently thumping the insides together.
