Tapping involves the mind, brain, and body to release any blocks that may be holding you back or weighing you down. It helps clear emotional baggage, shift limiting beliefs, and create space for new possibilities.
Tapping process for releasing emotional, energetic and physical blockages
While gently tapping on nine specific points across your face and upper body, known as ‘tapping points’, focus on the topic of distress (and often, say it aloud) - whether it’s an emotion, a topic or a physical sensation. By acknowledging what you're experiencing and how it feels, you create space for its release in a holistic way.

How to do EFT tapping?
- Recognise an emotion or topic that you would like to release
- Give a number from 0-10 on how intense this feels right now
- Create your set up statement by adding your emotion/topic in the blank: Even though I ______, I choose to accept myself anyway.
- Repeat the set up statement 3 times while tapping on the karate chop (side of the hand)
- Go through the tapping sequence, repeating the emotion/topic - as many times as you wish or need
- When you decide to stop tapping, rate again your chosen emotion/ topic on the current intensity level.
- Recognise the emotion: worry
- Give it a number: 8
- Create the set up statement: I feel worried because I have a meeting at work, and I choose to accept myself anyway.
- Tap 3x on the karate chop (side of hand) repeating the set up statement
- Go through the remaining points repeating during each one of them your emotion or variations of it: worry, this worry, I feel worried, this worry I feel, worry at home, worry about meeting at work
- Check the intensity of that worry now
- Goes down - great, that means you are releasing the emotion. Keep tapping until you feel necessary or it releases completely.
- Stays the same - If the intensity level doesn’t decrease, try adjusting the setup statement to be more specific and tap again.
- Increases - it may indicate that a new aspect of the issue has surfaced. Keep tapping until the intensity decreases.
Self-help resources
One of the things I love most about tapping is how empowering and self-sufficient it is. You can easily apply it to yourself and make real (and quick) progress on your healing journey.
When I first started, I relied on plenty of tap-along videos - especially those by Brad Yates, which I highly recommend (just search EFT tapping Brad Yates youtube). Another fantastic resource is The Tapping Solution, a website filled with valuable tools and guidance to support your practice.
