Tapping Over time, the tapping becomes associated with the feeling of calm from the conscious breathing, and it helps trigger the shift to a more relaxed state. So EFT becomes more effective in calming yourself the more often you use it, like any other mindfulness practice. As you can see by the chart on Page 11 that there are 9 tapping points, and 1 point on the side of the hand. When you are tapping on these meridian points and focusing on the stress or anxiety, you are sending a message to the amygdala in the brain to be calm, you are ok. Through this process of Tapping the meridian points and using the right words, your body will release the stress, anxiety, fear and pain. This is an easy technique to learn and can be done any where. It can be taught one on one, or in groups. There is a lot of talk about stress - finally steps are being taken to deal with the signs and symptoms. Now it is up to you!
