Welcome to EFT!
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a simple yet powerful process to shift our internal energy by tapping on acupuncture points. EFT combines mental focus and accupressure. When you tap while focusing on an emotion or internal block, you smooth out your energy and release the intensity of the negative emotion. You can also “tap in” a positive vision.
It’s best to start by learning the tapping points and the basic process. You’ll find these in my two videos. You can also scroll down and go directly to the written version below the videos. Please note: the contact information at the end of the videos is no longer correct. Visit my contact page for my current email. Also, we no longer say “Karate Chop Spot” which could be culturally sensitive. We now refer to that tapping spot as Side of Hand. Thank you!

Like most practitioners, I have my own style. My preferred version of EFT is explained below. Feel free to print out my “How To Do EFT” page. For more complete information on EFT, I invite you to pick up your free EFT manual at EFTinternational.org. I’m honored to be one of the co-authors! 🙂
How To Do EFTPREPARATION: THE SET-UP: While continuously tapping the Side of Hand, say the Set-Up Phrase three “Even though I have this [state the problem], I deeply and completely accept myself.” You can vary the set-up phrase: “I accept myself anyway”… “I’m still a good person”…”I’m still okay.” NOTE: Instead of tapping the Side of Hand point, you can rub the Sore Spot for the Set-Up – see below.. THE SEQUENCE: Tap at least 7-10 times on the following points. Tap firmly enough to feel a little bounce. As you tap each point, say, “this problem” [you don’t have to say the “even though” part]. For example: “this anger”, “this craving”, “feeling so sad”. You are “tuning in” to the problem by stating it over and over as you tap. This is called the Reminder Phrase. Tapping points:
