Step 4 – Affirmation Link-up
To give more energy to the affirmation one of two procedures need to be performed. Experiment with both and choose which you prefer.
1 – Locating the Tender Point/s
Place both hands on your upper chest just below your collarbone. Focusing on your problem, find a tender or sore area in this location. Lymphatic congestion often occurs in this part of our body and by stimulating the lymph nodes you help clear the energy system. Gently rub the sore spots in a circular motion while repeating your affirmation aloud three times. If for any reason you cannot use this area, apply the karate chop procedure.

2 – Karate Chop Point
The karate chop points are located on the side of each hand, roughly an inch below the little finger. Gently tap either point with the fingertips for as long as it takes you to repeat your affirmation aloud three times.

That concludes ‘The Set-up’. Once memorized it should take a little under a minute to perform. Next, we go on to perform the tapping sequence.
2 THE SEQUENCE
This part of the EFT procedure is where the energetic disruption from the body is cleared. It begins with a ‘Reminder Phrase’ and then proceeds to clearing the energy circuit. Essentially, you will be tapping major meridian points chosen for their accessibility and ease of application.
Step 5 – Reminder Phrase
A short reminder phase is used to keep your attention focused on the problem and to avoid distraction. It is said every time you tap a meridian point.
‘This stabbing pain’
‘This nervous feeling’
‘This sadness’
‘This fear of failure’
‘This anger’
‘This lonely feeling’
Step 6 – Tapping Points
Using two fingers, gently tap each point in sequence approximately seven times, while repeating your reminder phase. Each point is below the next and this should make the sequence easier to remember. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the tapping positions. Each site is located on an acupressure point and may feel slightly more sensitive than the surrounding area. Trace your fingers through the routine until you feel totally confident with the order in which they appear.

TIPS ON TAPPING
You can tap with either hand on either side of the body and you can even switch halfway through if you like. Using two fingertips ensures that you locate the right vicinity. Tap firmly enough to propel energy through the meridian point, but not too hard to cause bruising. Each point is tapped approximately seven times, this can be as long as it takes you to breathe in and out, or say the reminder phrase three times.
