How EFT Works!

Below is a diagram of the tapping points. As you can see, the points used in EFT start at the top of the head and go down onto the torso, wrists and hands. It does not matter which points are tapped in which order. Some people do find that certain points seem to have more significance to them. You can use your favorite points, but we recommend that you use at least 3 different points on your body. The name of the points are: Top of the Head, Eyebrow, Side of the Eye, Under the Eye, Under the Nose, Chin, Collarbone, Under the Arm. There are points above the wrist on both the top and bottom of the arm (not pictured). On the hand, the points are the Karate Chop (the meaty part of the outside of the hand), and then at the base of each nail, on the thumb side. If tapping on your legs appeals to you, there is a point about an inch above each ankle (not pictured).

In EFT, (Emotional Freedom Technique) you begin by tapping on the Karate Chop point while saying a "set up" phrase. So you would say "Even though I ____________, I deeply and completely accept myself" three times. Fill in the blank with a specific event (for example, my father beat me for spilling the milk when I was 5 years old) or feeling (for example, I have this sharp pain in my low back or Tina hurt my feelings when she said I was fat) you have when something specific happens. Then you would move on to the points on the body, tapping on each point while saying the _____________ phrase as a reminder. There are many variations on this technique that seem to increase the efficiency of the technique.

SET (Simple Energy Technique) is simpler and easier (hence the name). All you do it tap on the various points while thinking or talking about your problem. SET was developed by David Lake and Steve Wells of EFT Down Under. Can you tell they're from Australia? David and Steve teach that you should be tapping continually, as much as possible. You should be tapping while driving (unless you get too relaxed!), you can tap while watching tv, or talking on the phone. You should tap for at least one hour every day, they say! You do not even have to be thinking about any specific problem. The theory is that all of our "Stuff" is constantly going around in our unconscious (or "in the back of our heads") as we go about our day. By continually tapping, we are addressing our issues without even having to really think about them! How cool is THAT? You can tap on the finger points using the thumb of the same hand, and no one will even know you are doing it.

EFT and SET are great self help techniques that you can use by yourself. However, there may be issues that are deeply buried, and may require the assistance of a practitioner for you to uncover.
