EFT Tapping: emotional freedom technique for manifesting

EFT tapping is a mind-body technique where you tap on specific acupressure points on your face and body while focusing on an emotional issue or limiting belief. It was developed by Gary Craig in the 1990s and is based on the principles of acupuncture and cognitive psychology.

The core idea is that emotional distress and limiting beliefs create disruptions in your body's energy system. Tapping restores the flow of energy while verbal focus brings the issue to the surface for release.

There are eight primary tapping points:

1. **Karate chop** — Side of the hand (small finger side)
2. **Eyebrow** — Inner edge of the eyebrow
3. **Side of eye** — On the bone at the outer edge of the eye
4. **Under eye** — On the bone directly under the pupil
5. **Under nose** — Between nose and upper lip
6. **Chin** — Between lower lip and chin
7. **Collarbone** — Just below the collarbone
8. **Under arm** — About four inches below the armpit

You tap each point 5-7 times with your fingertips while stating your focus phrase.

Use EFT to clear the specific fears and doubts that block your desire:

**Setup statement (while tapping karate chop):**
"Even though I believe I am not worthy of [desire], I deeply and completely accept myself."

**Tapping sequence:**
Tap through all eight points while stating the limiting belief:
"I am not worthy of [desire]"
"I am afraid it will not happen"
"I do not believe I am good enough"

**Reframing round:**
After the negative round, tap through again with positive statements:
"I am learning to believe I am worthy"
"It is safe for me to receive [desire]"
"I release my fear and welcome my desire"

Combine EFT with daily affirmations for a powerful clearing and reprogramming practice.
