EFT Tapping Points

Location of the tapping points and instructions on how to tap

The information on this page is intended for clients to familiarise themselves with the tapping points prior to a session of telephone EFT.

Tapping Style

Tap with the same type of pressure that you would use if you were tapping on a table to make a good drumming sound. Tap approx 7- 10 times on each point, firmly enough to feel the vibration in the surrounding skin, but not hard enough to hurt or bruise.

Which side to tap?

Apart from the points along the centre line of the body, the other points - side of the hand, eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, collar bone and under the arm, all exist on both sides of the body. You can tap just one side, or both sides, or alternate.

Side of the hand

The Side of the hand point is the area between the base of the little finger and the start of the wrist, on the fleshy part of the side of the hand. Tap with four fingers of one hand on the side of the other hand.

Top of the head

The top of the head point is on the point where a line drawn from ear to ear would cross with a line drawn down the centre of your head. Lightly bunch the 4 fingers and thumb of one hand and tap the top of the head.

Eyebrow

The eyebrow points are located at the start of each eyebrow nearest the nose. Use 2 fingers to tap.

Side of eye

The side of the eye points are located on the bones on the outside of the eyes in line with the eye, in front of the temple. Use two fingers to tap.

Under eye

The under the eye points are located on the bones under the eyes, in line with the centre of each eye. Use two fingers to tap.

Under nose

The under the nose point is mid-way between the base of the nose and the start of the top lip. Use two fingers to tap.

Chin

The chin point is mid-way between the bottom of the lower lip and the chin, in the indentation area. Use two fingers to tap.

Collar bone

The collar bone points are located just below the inner ends of the collar bones, where they meet the top of the chest. Find the central "U" shaped indentation where you would knot a tie and move down 1 inch and out 1 inch to either side where there are slight indentations. Lightly bunch all four fingers and thumb of one hand together to tap.

Thymus

The thymus point is located about 2 inches below the collar bone points in the centre of the chest. Lightly bunch the 4 fingers and thumb of one hand and tap.

Under arm

The under arm points are located about 4 inches directly below the armpits on the side of the chest. Lift one arm and use the four fingers of the other hand to tap.
