Steps to EFT Tapping

  1. Identify the issue - Determine the specific emotion or issue you want to address, such as anxiety, fear or self-doubt.
  2. Rate the intensity - On a scale of 0-10, rate the intensity of the emotion or issue before starting.
  3. Tap the points - Use your fingertips to tap on the specific points 5-7 times at each point.
  4. Repeat the process as desired.
  5. Reassess the intensity - After 1-2 rounds of tapping, rate the intensity again to gauge your progress.
  6. Repeat as needed - If necessary, repeat the process to continue releasing the emotional charge.
  7. Seek professional guidance - While EFT tapping can be used as a self-help technique, it's beneficial to work with a qualified physician to help resolve deeper issues or unresolved traumas.
