TAPPING POINT POSITIONS

 

The two endpoints of any energy meridian are readily accessible to tapping near the surface of the body. The following shows the various locations of the tapping points used in EFT.

SORE SPOT - SS

The Sore Spot is rubbed as you repeat your Setup Phrase. This is usually the most effective and preferred method. The Sore Spot position is found by locating the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone (sternum) and then moving down 3 inches and across 3 inches to the left or the right.

This leaves you in the upper portion of the chest. This is an area where lymphatic congestion often occurs and when pressed or rubbed with vigour this area may feel tender or sore, hence the name. If the congestion is dispersed then the soreness disappears, so it may be that you don't actually feel any tenderness in this area.

Should you have had any injury or surgery to the area, or there are other medical reasons to avoid it, then you can use an alternative for your Setup Phrase Routine.

Alternative:

KARATE CHOP -  KC

The KC Point, usually on the non-dominant hand, is tapped vigorously with two fingertips as you repeat your Setup Phrase. This is located in the middle of the fleshy part of the outside edge of the hand, between the top of the wrist and the base of the little finger.

 

EB - BEGINNING OF EYE BROW - BLADDER MERIDIAN

This is found at the beginning of the eyebrow - just above and to one side of the nose.

 

 

SE - SIDE OF EYE - GALL BLADDER MERIDIAN

This is found at the outside corner of the eye, where you can feel the edge of the bone of the eye socket.

 

 

UE - UNDER THE EYE - STOMACH MERIDIAN

This is found on the cheekbone under the eye, about 1 inch below the pupil.

 

 

UN - UNDER THE NOSE - GOVERNING VESSEL

This is found over the philtrum, the vertical groove between the base of the nose and the top of the upper lip.

 

 

CH - CHIN - CONCEPTION VESSEL

This is found midway between the bottom of the lower lip and the point of the chin.

 

 

CB - COLLAR BONE - KIDNEY MERIDIAN

                             

This is found at the junction of the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and first rib. You can find it by placing your fingertip on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone. From the base of the notch, move the finger down 1 inch and then go left (or right) by 1 inch.

 

UA - UNDER THE ARM - SPLEEN MERIDIAN

This is found on the side of the body, about 4 inches below the armpit. It is at a point level with the nipple for men, or in the middle of the bra strap for women.

 

TH - THUMB - LUNG MERIDIAN

This is found on the outside edge of the thumb, at the point even with the base of the nail.

 

 

IF - INDEX FINGER - LARGE INTESTINE MERIDIAN

This is found on the side of the index finger that faces the thumb, at the point even with the base of the nail.

 

 

MF - MIDDLE FINGER - CIRCULATION / SEX MERIDIAN

This is found on the side of the middle finger that is closest to the thumb, at the point even with the base of the nail.

 

 

LF - LITTLE FINGER - HEART MERIDIAN

This is found on the side of the little finger, closest to the thumb, at the point even with the base of the nail.

 

 

KC - KARATE CHOP - SMALL INTESTINE MERIDIAN

This is located in the middle of the fleshy part of the outside edge of the hand, between the top of the wrist and the base of the little finger.

 

 

GAMUT - TRIPLE WARMER MERIDIAN

This is found on the back of either hand. It is marked by the little indentation to be felt between the knuckles at the base of the ring and little fingers, about 1/2 inch up.

 

 

TOP OF HEAD -  GOVERNING VESSEL 20 or “VAI HUI” (“100 MEETINGS”)

According to Michael Gandy, a licensed acupuncturist who features in the first DVD of the ‘EFT- Beyond the Basics DVD set (formerly ‘Steps Towards Becoming the Ultimate Therapist’), this is found “right at the top of the apex of the ears, on the midline”. Tapping on this point “will touch all of the yan channels in the body. All of the major meridian channels”. Although not part of the EFT Basic Recipe it is often used in the Shortcut version of tapping.
