What to Tap on When You Don’t Know What to Tap On
One of the biggest differences between talk therapy or conventional therapy and EFT is tapping on the body. This aspect is incredibly important and can make a huge difference in how we respond to the modality. Here's what I mean: the somatic component is what takes you—quite easily, too—from your head to your body. It helps you move out of your conscious mind and into a deeper connection with your body.
Remember, our bodies hold memory. They are clever and never lie. Trusting the body and paying attention to what comes up during tapping is crucial for growth. Our bodies can provide answers and open windows or doors we might not have remembered or even known were there.
When we tap on the body at specific acupressure points, we send a calming message to the brain: *You are safe. You are okay right here, right now.* And then, as if by magic, our “monkey brain” begins to settle.
Here’s what I suggest:
Start tapping on the points (or even just one point) and breathe deeply.
Tune into your body and trust the process.
Let go of the belief that you need to figure things out with your brain. Keep tapping and observe what comes up for you.
What comes up might take the form of:
An “emotion” (e.g., “I feel anxious”),
A “belief” (e.g., “I’m confused”),
A “physical sensation” (e.g., “I feel a weight on my chest”), or
A “memory” from the past, present, or even a projection of the future.
*Bingo!* Now you know exactly what to tap on. Write it down and give it a number from 0 to 10 (10 being the most intense). Then, start tapping on the first thing that came up for you.
The more you allow your body to guide you, the more you’ll begin to trust it—and the more insight you’ll receive in return.
**NOTE:** Sometimes, what comes up may not make logical sense, or it may seem irrelevant to your current situation. But remember, this is your conscious brain trying to take over and control the process. Trust, trust, trust—and soon, you’ll begin to see the benefits.
Now it’s your turn!
Comment below and let me know what came up for you when you simply trusted your body:
* An emotion
* A belief
* A physical sensation
* Or a memory from the past, present, or future projection
