EFT for Anxiety

Today’s Emotional Freedom Techniques, EFT session is for Anxiety. What we’re going to do is TAP on the anxiety feeling to release it. Then when the feeling has reduced we’ll TAP in a better feeling. I’ll be tapping in calm but you can choose a different feeling to tap in if you prefer.

If you’re new to EFT, please read my easy-to-follow EFT Guide – It’s easy to learn and you can use it any time you need it. No special skills are required.

I encourage you to have a drink of water before and after tapping to really aid with the energy flow and of course, to keep you nicely hydrated.

Take your time and try to focus on nice, relaxed breathing in between each tapping point.

EFT Tapping Points

The tapping points we’re going to use today are as follows…

Set up – Place your hand across your chest, flat on top of each other. This is the heart-healing position. Take a few nice, slow and deep breaths in and slowly release. Staying in this position I want you to really focus on where you feel the anxiety. How is it showing up in your body?

Keep going with 3 more nice slow breaths in and slowly release. Breathing in calm and releasing anxiety.

Then at each of the tapping points, I want you to simply say “This Feeling” – Take your time at each point and try to relax your breathing.

• Top of the head – This feeling
• Forehead – This feeling
• Eyebrow – This feeling
• Side of the eye – This feeling
• Under the eye – This feeling
• Under the nose – This feeling
• Under the mouth – This feeling
• Collarbone – This feeling
• Side of the thumb – This feeling
• Index finder – This feeling
• Middle finger – This feeling
• Ring finger – This feeling
• Little finger – This feeling
• Side of the hand – This feeling

Place your hands back across your chest and take a deep, slow breath and release. Has the feeling eased a bit? Repeat until you feel neutral. Where the anxiety is no longer bothering you or greatly reduced.

EFT POSITIVE TAPPING

Once you have eased the anxious feelings, you can then TAP IN a better feeling. I like to use CALM or sometimes I say “I’m in control now”

Let’s combine those two in this positive EFT script. I’m changing the tapping points slightly. It’s a personal preference and if you want to stick with the previous points that’s fine.

• Top of the head – Calm
• Forehead – I’m in control now
• Eyebrow – Calm
• Side of the eye – I’m in control now
• Under the eye – Calm
• Under the nose – I’m in control now
• Under the mouth – Calm
• Collarbone – I’m in control now

Keep tapping as long as you want to really clear your energy flow helping you to feel better and better. If you can, get up and move around whilst tapping once you get used to the words.

With positive EFT, Tap IN whatever you want to feel. So although I’ve used I’m in control now as one of the statements, the feeling is I feel in control.

Here’s a simple EFT rule to follow – TAP OUT the feelings you don’t want (this would include beliefs) and TAP IN the feelings you do want.

A SPECIAL NOTE: If your feelings of anxiety are severe and this isn’t helping, please seek specialist advice. Most countries have special helplines or contact your doctor.
