Do you feel stuck in life? Like there’s an invisible wall between you and your dreams? You’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with blocks that stop them from finding love, making money, or experiencing miracles.
The good news? There’s a simple tool that can help. It’s called EFT tapping. This powerful technique can break down those walls and open doors to the life you want.
In this guide, you’ll learn everything about EFT tapping. You’ll discover how to spot your blocks. You’ll master the tapping technique. Most importantly, you’ll start your journey to a life filled with love, abundance, and magic.
What is EFT Tapping?
EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. People also call it tapping. It’s a healing method that works on your emotions and energy.
The Simple Science Behind EFT
EFT combines three proven methods:
- Talk therapy – You speak about your problems
- Acupuncture – You tap on energy points (but without needles)
- Positive thinking – You change negative thoughts to positive ones
When you tap on specific points on your body, you send signals to your brain. These signals tell your brain to calm down. They help release stuck emotions and limiting beliefs.
Think of it like pressing a reset button on your emotional system. Research shows that tapping can lower stress hormones and reduce anxiety.
Why EFT Works So Well
Your body has energy pathways called meridians. These are the same pathways used in acupuncture. When you tap on these points, you balance your energy.
At the same time, you’re talking about your problems. This helps your brain process emotions in a healthy way. The combination is powerful. It can change how you feel in just minutes.
Understanding Your Blocks
Before you start tapping, you need to know what’s blocking you. Blocks are like invisible barriers. They stop good things from coming into your life.
Common Signs You Have Blocks
You might have blocks if you:
- Keep repeating the same problems
- Feel stuck despite trying hard
- Have strong fears about certain topics
- Notice patterns that don’t serve you
- Feel unworthy of good things
The Three Main Areas Where Blocks Show Up
Most blocks fall into three categories. Let’s look at each one.
Love Blocks: Why Your Heart Feels Closed
Love blocks are the most common. They affect your relationships with others and yourself.
Signs of Love Blocks
Do any of these sound familiar?
- You feel unworthy of love
- You’re scared to be vulnerable
- You keep attracting the wrong people
- You have trust issues
- You feel lonely even in relationships
Where Love Blocks Come From
Love blocks often start in childhood. Maybe you were hurt by family members. Perhaps you experienced rejection at school. These early experiences create beliefs about love.
Common limiting beliefs about love include:
- “I’m not lovable”
- “Love always ends in pain”
- “I’m better off alone”
- “People always leave me”
How Love Blocks Affect Your Life
Love blocks don’t just hurt your romantic life. They affect all your relationships. You might:
- Push people away
- Settle for less than you deserve
- Feel anxious in relationships
- Have trouble making friends
- Struggle with self-love
The good news is that tapping can help heal relationship trauma and open your heart to love again.
Money Blocks: What Stops Your Abundance
Money blocks are beliefs that limit your financial success. They’re often hidden deep in your subconscious mind.
Common Money Block Symptoms
You might have money blocks if you:
- Never have enough money
- Feel guilty about wanting more
- Avoid talking about money
- Sabotage financial opportunities
- Believe money is evil or wrong
Root Causes of Money Blocks
Money blocks usually come from childhood messages. Maybe your family said things like:
- “Money doesn’t grow on trees”
- “Rich people are greedy”
- “We can’t afford that”
- “Money is the root of all evil”
These messages become beliefs. They shape how you think about money as an adult.
How Money Blocks Limit You
Money blocks create a cycle of lack. You might:
- Undercharge for your services
- Turn down opportunities
- Spend money you don’t have
- Feel stressed about finances
- Believe you don’t deserve wealth
Studies show that money stress affects your physical and mental health. Tapping can help break this cycle.
Miracle Blocks: When Magic Feels Impossible
Miracle blocks are beliefs that limit your spiritual connection. They make you feel disconnected from the universe’s magic.
Signs of Miracle Blocks
You might have miracle blocks if you:
- Don’t believe in synchronicities
- Feel disconnected from your intuition
- Think miracles only happen to others
- Struggle with faith or spirituality
- Feel like you’re going through life alone
What Creates Miracle Blocks
Miracle blocks often come from:
- Religious trauma or guilt
- Disappointment when prayers weren’t answered
- Being told you’re “too sensitive”
- Scientific thinking that dismisses spirituality
- Past experiences that shook your faith
The Cost of Miracle Blocks
When you have miracle blocks, you miss out on:
- Guidance from your intuition
- Synchronicities that could help you
- A sense of purpose and meaning
- Connection with something greater
- The magic that makes life special
How to Identify Your Specific Blocks
Now let’s get specific about your blocks. This step is crucial for effective tapping.
The Block Detective Exercise
Grab a journal and answer these questions honestly:
For Love Blocks:
- What scares you most about love?
- What do you believe about your worthiness?
- What patterns do you see in your relationships?
- What did your family teach you about love?
For Money Blocks:
- What’s your biggest fear about money?
- What do you believe about wealthy people?
- How do you feel when you spend money?
- What messages did you hear about money growing up?
For Miracle Blocks:
- Do you believe in magic and miracles?
- How connected do you feel to the universe?
- What experiences have shaken your faith?
- Do you trust your intuition?
Rating Your Blocks
For each block you identify, rate it from 1 to 10. How strong is this block? How much does it limit you?
This rating helps you track your progress. After tapping, you can rate the block again. You’ll often see the number go down.
The Complete EFT Tapping Technique
Now for the fun part! Let’s learn how to tap. It’s easier than you think.
The Tapping Points
There are nine main tapping points on your body:
- Karate Chop – Side of your hand
- Eyebrow – Inner corner of your eyebrow
- Side of Eye – Outer corner of your eye
- Under Eye – On the bone under your eye
- Under Nose – Between your nose and lip
- Chin – In the crease of your chin
- Collarbone – Just below your collarbone
- Under Arm – About 4 inches below your armpit
- Top of Head – Crown of your head
How to Tap
Use your fingertips to tap each point. Tap firmly but gently. You want to feel it but not hurt yourself. Tap about 7-10 times on each point.
You can use either hand. Some people use both hands at once. Do what feels comfortable.
The Three-Step Tapping Process
Every tapping session has three steps:
Step 1: The Setup Statement
Start by tapping the karate chop point. Say your setup statement three times:
“Even though I have this [problem], I deeply and completely accept myself.”
For example:
- “Even though I feel unworthy of love, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
- “Even though I’m scared of running out of money, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
- “Even though I don’t believe in miracles, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
Step 2: The Tapping Sequence
Now tap through all the points. At each point, say a reminder phrase about your problem.
Example for love blocks:
- Eyebrow: “I feel unworthy of love”
- Side of Eye: “I’m scared to open my heart”
- Under Eye: “Love always ends in pain”
- Under Nose: “I don’t deserve a good relationship”
- Chin: “I’m better off alone”
- Collarbone: “People always leave me”
- Under Arm: “I can’t trust anyone”
- Top of Head: “I’m unlovable”
Step 3: Take a Deep Breath
After completing one round, take a deep breath. Notice how you feel. Rate your emotional intensity again.
If you still feel upset, do another round. This time, you might add some positive statements:
- Eyebrow: “I’m open to love”
- Side of Eye: “I deserve a loving relationship”
- Under Eye: “I’m worthy of love”
- Under Nose: “I choose to open my heart”
- Chin: “Love is safe for me”

Advanced EFT Techniques
Once you’re comfortable with basic tapping, you can try these advanced methods.
The Movie Technique
This technique is great for healing past trauma. Here’s how it works:
- Think of a painful memory
- Give it a movie title
- Rate your emotional intensity (1-10)
- Tap while thinking about the “movie”
- Focus on the most intense parts
- Keep tapping until the intensity drops
For example, if you have a memory of being rejected, you might call it “The Day Sarah Said No.” Tap on all the emotions from that day.
The Chasing the Pain Technique
Sometimes physical pain holds emotional blocks. This technique helps release both:
- Notice where you feel tension in your body
- Tap while focusing on that area
- Notice if the pain moves or changes
- Follow the pain with your attention
- Keep tapping until it dissolves
The Tearless Trauma Technique
This gentle method works well for severe trauma:
- Don’t relive the trauma
- Instead, tap on “this thing that happened”
- Stay vague about details
- Focus on how it feels now
- Tap until you feel neutral
Creating Your Daily Tapping Practice
Consistency is key with EFT. Here’s how to build a daily practice that works.
Morning Tapping Routine
Start each day with 5-10 minutes of tapping:
- Check in with yourself – How are you feeling?
