The points are
Karate chop - the outer edge of hand that you would land a karate chop
Eyebrow - the inner edge of the eye brow closest to the bridge of the nose
Side of eye - the hard area where brow ends between eye and temple
Under eye - the hard area under the eye that merges with the cheekbone
Under nose - the point centered between your nose and upper lip
Chin - the point between the bottom of the lower lip and chin
Collarbone - the point just below the hard ridge of the collarbone
Underarm - the point on the side of the body four inches beneath the armpit
Head - the crown, center, top of head
To begin this exercise, take a moment to touch each of the EFT points, making a mental note of how each feels. They may feel different before and after using EFT.
Next identify an issue or problem that you would like to release. For example "my job is really frustrating me". Think about how this situation is affecting you emotionally.
Now, create a "set up" statement by adding an affirmation of yourself as a person. For example "even though my job frustrates me, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself." Repeat this statement three times out loud while simultaneously tapping the Karate chop point of one hand using four fingers of the opposite hand.
Than, tap the following sequence of points using two to four fingers of one hand: head, eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, chine, collarbone, underarm, and back to the head. Tap each point five to seven times at a moderate pace (about two taps per second) before moving to the next point. As you tap, repeat a simple reminder phrase , such as "job frustration".
Finally, take a few deep, relaxing breaths. Focus on your problem again, and gauge how you feel. Has your frustration level diminished? Did you feel a release of your emotion? By consistently and frequently practicing EFT, you can release negative emotions, relax more completely, and make yourself feel better.
