Tap Away Your Fears and Anxiety

(EFT) method. 

In EFT, you tap your acupressure points with your index and middle fingers while reciting an affirmation based on your anxiety or trauma emotions. The vibrations from tapping and self-acceptance are the most powerful tools here. 

EFT effectively treats most anxiety and trauma-based issues and targets “stored physical pain” contributing to chronic pain or avoidance behavior based on emotional pain. 

The affirmations usually start with “Although” and ends with acceptance of self. Examples are: 

• “Although I struggle to meet my goals due to a lack of confidence, I wholly love and accept myself.” 

• “Although I feel ashamed for what I had done, I honor and accept myself.” 

The wonderful EFT is extremely safe, easy to teach, easy to learn, and a natural self-help treatment intervention. It is highly recommended for children in times of anxiety due to its ease of use and ability to redirect their focus. 

Directions: 

1. Identify the issues that you are struggling to deal with. 
2. Think of some affirmations to repeat while tapping on the acupressure points.
3. Follow below acupressure points and the number of taps. Repeat the sequence twice.

The acupressure points are:

• Between your eyebrows near the bridge of your nose
• Use index and middle fingers of both hands
• Tap 5 to 7 times
