Meridian Tapping

Meridians are the energy pathways of the body. They're like highway systems in our bodies. There are seven meridian points on the body that when tapped may alleviate the emotional stress u may feel.

1) Outside of the eyebrow (move from the nose & follow ur eyebrow outward)
2) Inside the eyebrow (near the bridge of ur nose)
3) Underneath the eyes (the soft spot above the cheek bone)
4) Underneath the nose, above the lip (in the center)
5) The bottom of ur lip (center)
6) A little lower than the collar bone (move ur fingers down ur throat to the "v" part and then 4 inches horizontally to either side)
7) 4 inches under the armpit

Try this tapping method :
a) 1st, think up a statement that names ur problem ("I dun have enough $ to pay my bills" etc).
b) Identify on a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most stressful) the degrees of stress that u feel.
c) Now, go through the 7 meridian pathways, tapping 6 to 7 times with ur hand, using pointer and middle finger, and tap as u repeat the statement that names ur problem.
d) When u have completed a round of meridian tapping on all 7 points, identify where u are on the stress scale ; 1 to 10. For more info on meridian tapping, go to http://www.eft.com/
