STEP TWO: The Sequence
This is very simple to complete. All you need to do is tap your fingers on all the important meridian points.
You can tap with either hand, using the tips of your index and middle fingers. Each point should be tapped around seven times as you repeat the reminder phrase at each point. Most of the points are in existence on both parts of the body and you can tap on either side, depending on what you most feel comfortable doing.
The meridians that have been selected have their end points close to the skin so are the most easily accessible.
The tapping points are as follows:
EB: at the beginning of the eyebrow
SE: at the outer side of the eyebrow on the bone outside the eye socket.
UE: under the eyebrow on the cheek bone, right under the middle of the eye.
UN: Under the nose and before your top lip
CH: Just below the lip and just before your chin begins.
CB: The place between where the breastbone, collarbone and first rib meet.
UA: Under the arm level with where your nipple is (for men) or the top of your bra strap is (for women.)
BN: Just under the breast, or one inch below the nipple if you are male.
TH: On the outside of your thumb, at the tip
IF: On the top segment of the index finger level with the base of the fingernail, on the same side as the thumb.
MF: On the side of your middle finger, closest to the thumb and level with the base of your fingernail.
BF: On the side of your baby finger, closest to your thumb, at a point level with the base of your fingernail.
KC: This is the karate chop point which we have mentioned before.
When carrying out the sequence we start at the top and work our way down in order. Once you have done it several times it becomes easier to remember the order automatically.
As you do this you repeat an affirmation similar to the one you used in the set up. For example:
Even though I am terrified of public speaking, I love and accept myself.
