Soul Tapping Method

Emotional Freedom Technique & SoulTapping Method

How EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Works

EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique, is a powerful, evidence-based healing method that combines acupressure and psychology to release emotional blockages and restore balance. Often called “tapping,” EFT involves gently tapping on specific meridian points on the body while focusing on distressing thoughts, emotions, or limiting beliefs. This process helps reprogram the nervous system, reduce stress, and clear emotional trauma at its root.

By addressing both the energetic and emotional aspects of pain, EFT promotes deep healing, rewires negative thought patterns, and allows individuals to experience greater emotional resilience, clarity, and peace. It is highly effective for managing anxiety, trauma, fears, and self-sabotaging beliefs, empowering individuals to shift into a more harmonious and liberated state of being.

Tapping Points in Preferred (but not necessary) Sequence

1. 1. KC (1) Karate Chop Point – The Karate Chop point is mainly used for the SoulTapping setup in regards to psychological reversals.

The karate chop point is located on the soft fleshy part of the non-dominant hand, between the base of the pinky finger and the wrist. We would use this is the part of the hand break a board… ‘karate chop’ style.

1. 1. TH (2) Top of Head Point – This point (set of points) is located at the top of the
      head.

This is an important energy center since many meridians meet at the top of the head. It is also in the area of the 7th. Or Crown Chakra, which is a spiritual energy center. Some say that stimulating this area wakes up the entire energy system and encourages the body-mind to pay attention to what we are about to address. This point is highly sensitive and its important to be very gentle when tapping!

Some History & Background

• EFT was created by Gary Craig (http://emofree.com) as a simplification and improvement
  of Dr. Roger Callahan’s Thought Field Therapy (TFT-
  http://www.tftrx.com/) It is an adaptation
  of Chinese acupuncture, except that instead of using needles, you tap (or rub) various points
  around the upper body.
• These points are called meridians (in acupuncture), but in physical terms these are
  simply
  points of markedly lower electrical resistance along the surface of the skin.
• The theory behind EFT states that “The underlying cause of all negative emotions is an
  imbalance in the body’s energy system”
• Ultrasound pictures show that there is movement along the lines that join these points
  whenever these points are stimulated.
• Using radioactive substances, it can be seen that this movement is typically 30-50mm/sec.
  However, when the body is diseased, this movement slows.
• By stimulating these points the EFT encourages the body to heal itself, by smoothing out
  these disturbances, and allowing the flow of energy to continue normally again.

When you tap yourself you take responsibility for your own wholeness and well being which leads to a wonderful empowering experience. You may also find that having someone else tap you to clear issues can also be a very freeing and wonderful experience because the person tapping you can be objective about the situation, whereas
you may not be able to get out of your own way to challenge yourself.

I developed the SoulTapping Method as a way of addressing the spiritually connected aspects and layers of problems that require Love, Care, Acceptance, and Completion on a Soul Level. The SoulTapping Method utilizes the same tapping points, and adds depth to the healing when the focus is between souls we travel with in our family, chosen loved ones and recurring soul themes.
