About Meridian Tapping Techniques

Meridian tapping techniques are a newly-systematized method of applying the principles of acupressure to creating greater well-being.  Following a prescribed routine of gently tapping certain acupressure points, the person states or concentrates on a problem or symptom that needs resolution, coupling it with a self-accepting statement.

What does this mean, in terms of results?  That thousands of people who practice this technique report:

  • Relaxation
  • Relief from stressful feelings
  • Greater sense of calm
  • Effective anger management
  • Improved thinking and problem-solving
  • Better sleep
  • Peak performance in work and sports
  • Relief from the energy patterns of past traumatic incidents or memories
  • Improved ability to access sports skills

When people use this method frequently they often report a shift in their feeling state from feelings of mental tension, anger, fear, or other negative emotions to calm, focus and happiness.  In addition, they often report experiencing a reduction in their physical tension and their perception of pain related to stress and tension.  The techniques help people to balance their mind and body, evoke the Relaxation Response and enhance well-being.

The best known meridian tapping technique is EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique.  I use the main eight points of the EFT technique for most sessions, with other acupressure points and methods added in when needed.  The main points to tap are on the face, upper body, and hands or wrists.  Consequently, the technique is quick to perform and can easily be used in almost any situation. 

Using it in session with me, you will learn how to do the technique; how to craft your own set-up statements to get quicker results; and how to apply the technique in different ways and different settings.  We can work together to facilitate quicker change, and/or you can practice the method on your own.

Acupressure has been used for centuries in Asian health practices, and Western studies are exploring its efficacy for a variety of uses.  EFT/Meridian tapping techniques based on acupressure points are also being studied, with encouraging results including:

  • Positive changes in the nervous, endocrine and immune systems suggesting a reduction in stress and increase in healthy bodily functions
  • Reducing hyper-arousal that occurs in stress
  • Reducing symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as measured by standardized tests (studied in randomized controlled trials with veterans)
  • Aligning brain waves

I would love to help you accomplish improvements in your own life, work, and play.  Call or email me today to book a session.

About Ange Finn

I am an AAMET Level 2 Certified EFT Practitioner.  I became interested in EFT tapping after discovering it as a mental preparation technique for sport.  Learning about it from a prominent equestrian coach and rider led me to explore the original EFT technique pioneered by Gary Craig.  After having several sessions with a practitioner, I learned first hand the power of tapping to facilitate fast and long-lasting change. 

Knowing I wanted to be able to share this powerful technique with others, I trained in it and began applying it and teaching it both in groups and with individuals.  Personal growth is not solely the province of experts; the key is within each of us.  Teaching the technique and working in sessions with people, I see and celebrate success over and over again in helping them make progress with their own growth and wellbeing.

I have written several articles on my use of EFT with others and with my own life; please visit the Success Stories page for links.

I have studied and used mindfulness techniques for personal growth for thirty-five years.  I continue to work with my own EFT coach and mentor to help me become my best self.  I look forward to helping you do the same.

 

Follow the instructions below to tap these points

How to Tap

Make a Setup phrase:
“Even though I have this (name problem or issue),  I completely accept myself."  Say your set-up phrase three times while tapping on the “karate chop” point, on the side of the hand opposite the thumb.  This focuses your attention.
Round One:
Tap 5–7 times on these points on the chart above, using a reminder phrase from your set-up statement:  eyebrow point; side of eye; under eye; under nose; under lip (chin point); collarbone; under arm; top of head.  

The other points--"liver", “gamut” and wrist--can be added or skipped as you prefer.  If you do not feel a physical shift or release of tension, then add these points in.

After Round One, check in, see how you feel. Continue with many rounds as needed to feel a shift, relaxation, or release of your anxiety, worry or  fear.
Round Two and subsequent rounds:
Tap 5–7 times on the basic points, using a reminder phrase or saying This remaining (problem):  eyebrow point; side of eye; under eye; under nose; under lip (chin point); collarbone; under arm;  top of head. 

Signs that you are relaxing and your tension is shifting are:  feeling sleepy, feeling relaxed, yawning, sighing, breathing deeply.

Meridian tapping techniques are currently considered experimental in Western medicine.  Studies are underway to assess the biological and psychological changes that are being self-reported.  EFT and Meridian Tapping is not therapy, medicine, or a magic bullet.  My services are educational; I'm not a therapist, counselor or healthcare professional. I don't diagnose or treat. Tapping is not intended to take the place of psychological or medical care; it is intended to help you relieve stress in order to lead to greater well-being.  Please consult a doctor or therapist for medical or psychological counseling needs.
