EFT Tapping Points

Here's an EFT tapping points diagram with a description and location of each point. Also, some interesting information on which meridians and internal organs connect to each point. As well as, the potential emotional and energetic affects of tapping on that spot.

This article features the EFT shortcut method. The original EFT Basic Recipe has additional body and hand points. Over time, EFT founder, Gary Craig realized he was able to get excellent results with the shorter methods.

These days, Gary rarely uses the older, longer form of the tapping. Simplifying the process made it much easier to teach to others and it is better suited for EFT phone sessions.

Hand Point

♦ ♦ KC (1) Karate Chop Point - The Karate Chop point is mainly used for; the EFT setup statement, psychological reversals and simple tapping techniques (STT). It is an alternative for the sore spot EFT point.

Head, Face and Body Tapping Points

♦ ♦ TH (2) Top of Head Point - This point (set of points) is located at the top of the head and was added several years ago at an EFT conference. Since then, it has been widely accepted by Gary Craig and many of the others in the EFT community.

This is an important energy center since many meridians meet at the top of the head. It is also in the area of the 7th. or Crown Chakra, which is a spiritual energy center. Some say that stimulating this area wakes up the entire energy system and encourages the body-mind to pay attention to what we are about to address. This point is highly sensitive and its important to be very gentle when tapping!
