EFT Tapping Points Guide
This EFT Tapping Points guide gives you a description of where to tap when applying the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
To benefit from EFT, you need to know more than just where to tap. There is an ‘art of delivery’ in applying EFT to more serious issues such as trauma, abuse, fears, phobias, and chronic illness. This is what you pay for when consulting an EFT Practitioner, not just knowing where to tap.

Print this page for a handy reference guide to the EFT Tapping Points.
You can learn more about how to apply EFT by:
- Exploring the many articles in the post archives.
- Subscribing to the Tap4Health Newsletter or RSS Feed
- Learning from an expert at a Tap4Health EFT Workshop
- Studying the Free EFT Manual
- Buying the amazingly inexpensive 5-Star EFT Training DVDs
EFT works so if you aren’t getting results with EFT by yourself or just want to get the benefits without learning EFT, then personal Sessions are your quickest path to emotional and physical freedom.
| EFT Tapping Point | EFT Tapping Point Description |
|---|---|
![]() Karate Chop Point |
Karate Chop Point Middle of fleshy part on outside of hand between the top of the wrist and the base of the little finger. |
![]() Top of Head |
Top of Head* (HD) On the Top of the Head, with fingers back-to-back right at the crown. |
![]() Eyebrow Points |
Eyebrow (EB) At the beginning of the eyebrow, just above and to one side of the nose. |
![]() Side of Eyes |
Side of Eye (SE) On the outside of your eye socket near the corner of the eye |
![]() Under Eyes |
Under Eyes (UE) On the bone under an eye at the bottom of your eye socket, about one inch below your pupil. |
![]() Under Nose or Chin Point |
Under Nose (UN) On the small area between the bottom of your nose and the top of your upper lip. |
![]() Chin Point |
Chin Point (CP) Midway between the point of your chin and the bottom of your lower lip. Even though it is not directly on the point of the chin, we call it the chin point because it is descriptive enough for people to understand easily. |
![]() Collarbone Points |
Collarbone Point (CB) The junction where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet. This is a very important point and in acupuncture is referred to as K (kidney) 27. To locate it, first place your forefinger on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone (about where a man would knot his tie). From the bottom of the U, move your forefinger down toward the navel 1 inch and then go to the left (or right) 1 inch. While not actually on the collarbone, we call it the collarbone point since it’s a lot easier to say than "junction where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet." |
![]() Under Arms |
Under Arms (UA) On the side of the body. For men, it is the same height as their nipples. For woman, it is in the middle of the bra strap. It is about 4 inches below the armpit. |
![]() Inner Wrist Points |
Wrist Points* (WR) On the inside of each wrist. Tap together by crossing one wrist over the other with the insides facing. |
| * These points are not part of the orginal EFT Basic Recipe but are included because they have been found to be valuable additions since the initial development of EFT. | |
