Okay, How Do I Tap?
Getting started is very simple. It takes about 2-5 minutes to learn the basics. People even teach it to their children!
We encourage you to try it on just a few issues and see how you respond. We’ll even provide examples to get you started. In the video, we use Whiplash as the primary example. After that, you will likely want to apply it to other physical and emotional distress you have. In fact, we encourage you to try it on everything.
With two or three fingers of either hand, tap with your fingertips lightly on the locations shown in the Tapping Points Diagram. As you do, you will repeat a phrase to help focus on the emotional and physical feelings. Use the same pressure you would use if you were tapping on a table to make a drumming sound. You want to make contact, but not hurt yourself or cause discomfort. Tap roughly 3-7 times in each location. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap. If you have long fingernails, use the pads near the end of your fingers to tap.
We start by tapping on the Karate Chop point where we typically make 1-3 “Even though” statements (to tune into your body-mind, your emotions, and give the energy a direction towards relief)… while tapping continuously. This is the area of your hand that you would use to “karate chop” something. Tap with the other hand, using your fingertips. (Some people rub the Sore Spot as an alternative to the Karate Chop point. It is located about four inches down from the point of the collarbone and a few inches out from your heart. You can rub this area gentle with a few fingers. Either location will work fine, so use what is easiest for you.)
Next, we move to the Top of the Head and use the fingertips on one or both hands to tap. There are a bunch of energy points here, so it doesn’t matter where you tap. Some people even use the flat of their hand to pat the entire top of the head.
Now we’ll work down the body. (This makes the points easier to remember. The order is not crucial; don’t worry if you skip one, and you can even do the points in reverse. Tapping is very forgiving.)
The Eyebrow points are located at the beginning of the eyebrow, nearest the center of the face. You can use the index and middle fingers together, on either or both hands, to tap the eyebrow points. (Some people start at this point rather than the top of the head; it does not matter.)
The Side of the Eye points are located on the bones at the outside of the eyes. The points are not so close to the eye that you blink and not so far away that you are tapping in the softer temple area. Using the index and middle fingers together, tap on either one or both side of the eye points.
The Under the Eye points are on the bone located under the eye even with the pupils. Using the fingertips of the index and middle fingers, gently tap this spot under either or both eyes. Be gentle here; it is a sensitive area.
Now tap Under the Nose. The spot is roughly midway between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lip.
The Chin point is not really on the tip of the chin; it is midway between the bottom of the lower lip and the chin, in that indentation area.
For the Collarbone points find the start of one of your collarbones at the base of your throat and move about an inch down and an inch outward towards your shoulder. You can use two to four fingers together on either hand to tap the collarbone spots (or tap both at the same time). These are powerful points for stress and anxiety relief. Many people use the collarbone points all by themselves when they feel anxious.
The Under the Arm points are located about 4 inches below the armpits (about mid-bra line on a woman). You can reach across to tap (for example, lift your left arm and use the four fingers of your right hand to tap under your left arm) or lift your arm up and use the hand on the same side to tap, whichever feels more comfortable.
We often return to the Top of the Head and tap. This can help the round feel complete.
Of course, you can end at any point. You can start at the eyebrow or top of the head. You can leave out points, too. Energy Tapping is flexible and accommodates many variations. You don’t have to do it perfectly. Your energy system is connected so each point you tap resonates throughout the system. It can also be very helpful to tune into your body, see how it feels, tap where it seems to “want” to, and stop when it feels right.
These are the nine comfort points that are most often used in Energy Tapping (out of 400 points that are recognized in acupuncture). They are also the primary tapping points used in Meridian Tapping Techniques (MTT) and in the short form of Emotional Freedom Techniques® (EFT).

Let’s Put It All Together
We’ll now combine the basic tapping sequence with tuning into your body-mind, speaking a truth about how you feel right now, and choosing how you’d like to feel.
1. Tune-in. Where do you feel a discomfort or distress? What does it feel like? Be as specific as possible. Ideally, include the location, the description of the feeling, and what the emotion is. (“Worried” is too general. “This tight knot of worry in my forehead” is better.)
2. Note your starting intensity (0-10), with 0 being no intensity and 10 being very intense: ____. (If you don’t know, guess. It helps you tune into the feeling and how it does or does not shift after the tapping.)
3. While continuously tapping on the karate chop point, emphatically say your set-up statement three times. This statement typically includes the first part that speaks a truth about how you feel right now (from step 1), followed by a choice about how you’d like to feel. In this example, we’ve chosen a statement of self-acceptance:
“Even though _______________ (I have this knot of worry in my forehead), I deeply and completely accept myself.” (Repeat 3 times.)
4. Tap on each of the points approximately 3-7 times, re-stating your issue (the reminder phrase) at each point: “This _______________ (knot of worry in my forehead)”.
- Top of head
- Eyebrow
- Side of eye
- Under the eye
- Under the nose
- Chin
- Collarbone
- Under the arm
- Back to the top of head
5. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly….. You are now Done.
6. Note your ending intensity (0-10), with 0 being no intensity (it’s gone!) and 10 being very intense: ______. If it’s above a “2,” repeat the steps above. You can also make the following changes as you tap:
- Modify the set-up statement in step (2) to “Even though I still have some of this _________, I deeply and completely accept myself.”

- Change the reminder phrase to “Remaining ________.”

- Be more specific. What is the best way to describe what you are now feeling? The physical feeling or the emotion in the pain may move or change. That’s progress! You’ve got your energy moving!
