How to Practice EFT
1. Identify the issue. Be specific.
What’s bugging you?
2. Give it a number from 1-10.
3. Tap on the karate chop point,
acknowledge the problem and
accept yourself anyway.
4. Tap it out while you mentally
review the specifics of the issue.
5. Finish tapping. Re-assess your
number.

 Be specific!

 Core issue interfering
 “Peeling the onion”
 Tapping on someone else’s
problem
 “This client is such an asshole!”
