10 Powerful Tapping for Anxiety Steps and EFT Affirmations

Tapping for Anxiety

Reduce Stress through EFT Tapping for Anxiety

Are you feeling stressed or anxious and looking for an alternative therapy for relaxation? Try EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping for anxiety. The process involves targeting acupressure points to promote relaxation and stimulate energy flow. EFT Tapping can release blocked chakras and send calming signals to the part of the brain responsible for controlling stress. Relaxation can be achieved by simply tapping on areas of your face, chest, and under arms for 3 – 7 minutes. Try using the EFT affirmations at the end of this article for more success. 

Unblock Meridian Lines and Blocked Chakras

The process works by stimulating the 12 meridian lines in our body so that our energy can flow freely. You can think of these meridian lines as the energy force behind our organs. In addition, we have spinning disks of energy centers known as chakras. Stress and anxiety can block these important energy centers, especially the root chakra. The root chakra is known as our foundation of life and can be closely associated with anxiety. The reason is that the root chakra is responsible for safety and security. Cracks in this foundation can lead to fear and anxiety. The root chakra is also connected to our adrenal glands which can become overworked by chronic stress.

One way to unblock the root chakra is by stimulating energy flow through EFT tapping for anxiety. 

In this article, you will explore the EFT tapping chart and what to say during EFT to help guide you through the process.

" I constantly have my eyes open for signs and guidance. I never go against my gut feeling. I let life flow, welcoming anything that comes into my life, good or bad. I know that the universe is constantly molding and making room in my life for better things to come along. Everything that is happening to me right now is exactly how it's supposed to be, as long as I don’t fight it, and I remain joyful along the way."
"The hoarder’s irrational need to keep collecting old baggage is easily spotted from an outsider, while those harboring emotional trauma are not so obvious, especially to the person holding it. In both cases, the person is holding onto something that is no longer serving them, which is cluttering up their world."
"I’ve finally chosen faith over fear, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I now walk through life fearlessly, knowing that the universe has me covered. I trust that I’m being protected and guided in a loving way. Anxiety is based on fear, and fear goes against faith, because having faith means that you trust in the process. Surrender to the universe, and you will learn what true happiness really is."​
"Call your bossy brains bluff. Imagine that you’re in a poker game, and you’re going head to head with your bossy brain. Once you start gaining more control, you can start turning each panic attack into an opportunity to reprogram your brain. The more you call its bluff, the bigger your pot will grow, and your fear of panic attacks will slowly start to diminish."
"Welcome the panic with open arms and take the opportunity to balance your bossy brain. Think of it like tug-a-war. Each time you’re able to avoid an attack, take a little more of that rope."
"Sometimes when I’d feel a panic attack coming along, I’d grab my guitar, which I have no idea how to play, turn up the music really loud, jump on my bed, and rock it out as if I were a rock star in the 80’s. Before I knew it, my anxiety shifted from fear to fun in the matter of minutes. Wiggle your body, do the twist, shake your booty, do the arm wave, just be goofy and flow with the nervousness."
"Be present with your thoughts, because this is how you’ll expose them for what they truly are, just thoughts. Your thoughts are not you; they are just thoughts. An anxious thought is just your bossy brain’s creative imagination going wild."
"The brain and gut have such a tight relationship, that a problem in the brain is almost always an indication of a problem in the gut."
"Life’s challenges indicate that a change is needed, which is the universe's way of guiding you in the right direction. Without struggles, there would be no opportunity for self growth."
A lot of people get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, just trying to survive. We forget how beautiful life is, and don’t realize that we are capable of experiencing happiness and joy, every single day. Why spend every day of your life tirelessly and endlessly working at a career that is leaving you feeling unfulfilled, when you can find your true purpose, which is guaranteed to make you thrive."
"Anxiety is fueled by fear and a lack of trust. Discovering who you really are at the core will return your sense of security. If you feel like the universe is giving you a nudge, take the time to stop, listen, and reflect. Let yourself explore your purpose here on earth and who you really are at the core of your being."
