EFT TAPPING TO CALM DOWN

When you don’t feel calm, you are experiencing an emotion, so we can definitely use Emotional Freedom Techniques – EFT to calm down.

Today I have three EFT script ideas to share with you. In the first EFT session, you’ll tap on releasing the unwanted feeling, then you’ll tap in calm feelings.

In the second EFT session, you’ll focus on just one specific calm down statement.

And finally, I’ve included a super positive EFT script combining affirmations to calm down.

Find me on TikTok: Here’s a great little EFT video to show you how to tap to feel calm and relaxed.

EFT – How To Tap

If you’re new to EFT, I’ve written a full EFT – HOW TO TAP GUIDE right here on the blog.

Tapping the side of the hand, say a set-up statement about why you’re tapping. Please note that I don’t always include a set-up phrase.

Tap gently on the following Meridian Points – Top of the head, forehead, eyebrow, side of the eye, under the eye, under the nose, under the mouth, collarbone, under the arm, side of the hand.

You want to tap hard enough to feel the tap but gently enough that it doesn’t hurt. Never tap hard.

Tip – Have a drink of water before you start tapping and again after you finish tapping as this really helps with improving energy flow and of course keeping you nicely hydrated. Let’s get started.

Release and tap in calm

Start tapping the side of your hand and really focus on the emotion you’re experiencing right now, notice where you feel it in your body. Take a nice deep breath in and slowly release. Repeat 3 times.

Imagine as you breathe in that you are breathing in calm energy and as you breathe out, release any unwanted emotions.

• Set up – Tapping the side of the hand – I’m tapping to release this emotion (you can name the unwanted emotion if you want – For example, I’m tapping to release this anxiety, fear, panic…) Repeat 3 times.
• Top of the head – Release
• Forehead – This feeling
• Eyebrow – Release
• Side of the eye – This feeling
• Under the eye – Release
• Under the nose – This feeling
• Under the mouth – Release
• Collarbone – This feeling
• Under the arm – Release
• Side of the hand – This feeling

I recommend that you complete 3 or even more rounds using this script. The idea is to tap on the unwanted emotion until you no longer feel it or it is greatly reduced.

You can give the emotion a number for how strong it feels. 0 = It’s gone. 10 = The feeling is really strong.

Aim to get down to at least a 1-2, ideally 0 before moving on. Between each round stop, check your number and do the breathing exercise again.

Breathe in calm and release unwanted emotions as you breathe out.

Once you’ve released the unwanted emotion, you can move onto tapping in calm.

• Top of the head – I breathe in calm
• Forehead – I am calm now
• Eyebrow – I breathe in calm
• Side of the eye – I am calm now
• Under the eye – I breathe in calm
• Under the nose – I am calm now
• Under the mouth – I breathe in calm
• Collarbone – I am calm now
• Under the arm – I breathe in calm
• Side of the hand – I am calm now

Repeat as much as you want. Bonus tip, smile as you tap in this second session for calm and have a drink of water to help with the energy flow.

A focused calm down statement

Often when I need to calm down, I need a quick GO-TO EFT session. For example, I might be about to go into a meeting, give a talk…

My own personal GO-TO calm down statement is I’m Calm and Relaxed. I simply tap on this statement for as long as I can.

BONUS TIP: If you’re out in public and want to be more discrete, learn about EFT Hand Tapping.

• Top of the head – I’m calm and relaxed
• Forehead – I’m calm and relaxed
• Eyebrow – I’m calm and relaxed
• Side of the eye – I’m calm and relaxed
• Under the eye – I’m calm and relaxed
• Under the nose – I’m calm and relaxed
• Under the mouth – I’m calm and relaxed
• Collarbone – I’m calm and relaxed
• Under the arm – I’m calm and relaxed
• Side of the hand – I’m calm and relaxed

I’m calm and relaxed is one of my favourite calm down affirmations and you can replace it with any affirmation you want. Learn more about combining EFT with affirmations to form a power combo.
