How?  Glad you asked! Let’s focus the remainder of this article to learning how to use EFT Tapping in three easy steps.  You’ll be empowered to control any stress or anxiety that the Coronavirus may be causing you.   

First, wash your hands.  I’ll wait.

Ok, ready?  Here we go.  You’re now on the path to emotional freedom.

Step One:
Identify what is bothering you and ask yourself how do I feel about it?

                   (Example:  I’m feeling so anxious about the future.)  Rate your feelings 0 – 10.

Step Two: 

Tap on the side of your hand and repeat out loud:         

Even though I feel so anxious about the future, I accept who I am and how I feel.        

Even though I’m feeling anxious right now about the future, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.       

Even though I feel this stress and anxiety in my body, I accept who I am and how I feel.

Step Three:

Tap gently 5 – 6 times with two fingers on each of the Tapping points while repeating the examples below out loud

Eyebrow Point:   I feel so anxious       

Side of Eye:  All this anxiety       

Under Eye:  I’m anxious about the future       

Under Nose:  Anxiety about the future       

Chin:  Seems like everyone is anxious       

Collarbone:  All this anxiety       

Under Arm:  The future is so unknown       

Top of Head:  When will Coronavirus be over?

Eyebrow Point:   I feel it in my body                      

Side of Eye:  I’m worried about the future                     

Under Eye:  What will the future bring?                     

Under Nose:  It makes me anxious                     

Chin:  Everyone is in the same boat                     

Collarbone:  Are they feeling anxious?                     

Under Arm:  I hope they’re ok                     

Top of Head:  Wish I could help

Take a deep breath, and continue Tapping:

Side of Hand: Even though I still feel a little anxious, I deeply and profoundly love and accept myself anyway. Even though I’m still worried about the future, I choose to remember that we are all going through this together.

Eyebrow Point:   What if I could be ready to let go of this anxiety? 

Side of Eye:  What if I could choose to stay in the present? 

Under Eye:  I’m in the present and I’m ok 

Under Nose:  I can only be in the present 

Chin:  Right here right now, I’m ok 

Collarbone:  I’m ok 

Under Arm:  I feel safe 

Top of Head:  I wonder if I’m ready to let go of the anxiety and worry about the future

Eyebrow Point:   It doesn’t serve me to carry around the anxiety and worry                     

Side of Eye:  I’m ready to let go of worry and anxiety from my body                     

Under Eye:  I let it all go from every cell in my body                     

Under Nose:  I’m releasing the anxiety and worry from my body and mind now                     

Chin:  I’m safe right here right now                     

Collarbone:  I feel my body relaxing                     

Under Arm:  Those feelings are gone from my body                     

Top of Head:  I fill my body and mind with peace and calm
