1. Eyebrow
Tap right at the beginning of one or both eyebrows. Use two or three fingers here.
You can tap on both sides of this meridian with either one or both hands.
Here you see me tapping on both sides, using my pointer finger on one side and ring finger on the other.
The Bladder Meridian begins at the start of the eyebrows. It's a bilateral meridian, and you can easily tap on both sides.
2. Side of Eye
Tap on the bony orbit just outside the eye and on the softer temple. Use two or three fingers.
This area is the beginning or end point of three different bilateral acupuncture meridians, so it's a very valuable tapping point.
The Small Intestine Meridian passes by here and ends at the ear. The Triple Warmer Meridian ends at the temple. The Bladder Meridian begins just outside the eye.
3. Under Eye
Tap right on the bony orbit just under the eye. Tap with one hand or two and use two fingers.
This tissue is tender and easily bruised, so go easy here.
This is the start of the Stomach Meridian. Roger Callahan made this point famous when he cured his client, Mary, of her lifelong water phobia, by tapping here.
After tapping the Under Eye point, Mary said the "sick feeling" she had when she thought of water, was gone. They tested it and found Mary's lifelong fear of water was gone.
Callahan went on to invent Thought Field Therapy (TFT), the method Gary Craig studied before developing EFT. TFT is another meridian tapping therapy.
4. Under Nose
Tap between the nose and mouth. Tap right in the center, using your middle finger.
Use only one hand here - otherwise you might miss the critical tapping point.
This EFT tapping point is the end point of the Governing Meridian. Since this is a single meridian, right in the mid line of your face, you want to make sure to tap right in the center. 
5. Chin
Tap in the dip between your lower lip and the chin. Use two or three fingers of just one hand, as this is another single meridian.
The chin point is the ending point of the Central Meridian. It runs from the pubic bone straight up to the chin. The Central Meridian is important in keeping your energy flowing in a positive direction and keeping you resistant others' negativity or criticism. 
6. Collarbone
Find the collarbone point by first tracing your collarbone (clavicle) to the center notch.
Drop to the bottom of the notch and go down another inch. Move your fingers out one inch to either side of the notch.
Tap firmly below the collarbone, on either side of the sternum. You can use two hands (as pictured) or tap with one hand. To hit these EFT tapping points with one hand, use your thumb to tap one side and three fingers to tap the other side.
These points are the end points of the very important Kidney Meridian.
According to Donna Eden, tapping here "flips your energies around if they have started flowing backward." Stimulating the kidney meridian can make you more alert and awake and help you think more clearly.
7. Under Arm
Tap four inches below the armpit right about at your shirt seem. For women, this point is in the middle of a bra strap. Tap with three or four fingers or even slap with a flat hand.
You can tap with your arms on the same side of your body (feeling like a monkey - as pictured), or cross your arms over and tap with opposite hands.
The under arm EFT tapping point is the Spleen Meridian. The spleen meridian ends by going from the armpit straight down the the bottom of the ribs.
Stimulating the Spleen Meridian can help to lift your energy level, balance your blood chemistry and strengthen your immune system.
8. Top of Head
Tap the top of the head with all five fingers. There are several different EFT tapping points here.
Tap in a circular pattern to cover a large area on the top of the head.
There are several specific meridians that run over the top of the head. These include the Governing Meridian, Bladder Meridian and Gall Bladder Meridian. According to Chinese Medicine, tapping the top of the head stimulates all the Yang Meridians (Large Intestine, Small Intestine, Triple Warmer, Stomach, Bladder, Gall Bladder).
Set-Up: Karate Chop Point
Tap on the fleshy outer edge of either or both hands. Use four fingers of the opposite hand or tap both hands together, as shown.
This is a bilateral meridian, so you can tap on one hand, alternating hands or both simultaneously.
This point gets its name from the way a karate expert might break a board or brick with this part of the hand.
Both the Small Intestine Meridian and Heart Meridian run along this part of the hand.
EFT Tapping Points Tips
- Tap with several fingers, to increase your chances of stimulating one or more energy meridian.
- Tap 5-7 times at each point. There’s no need to count. Tapping more or less times works too. Basically, tap as long as it takes you to make the statement you are speaking or thinking of on that point.
- Tap about as hard as you’d drum on a table top. Be gentle on the points under the eyes; the tissue is tender there. You can use more force on the torso points.
- Meridian tapping can be done on one or both sides of the body. I've seen equally great results both ways. I recommend tapping on both sides whenever feasible.
- There are times when you want to do EFT therapy, but you don't actually want to tap on your body. Examples include: in bed in the middle of the night - tapping can be too stimulating for you (and your bed partner). Or if you're sick, exhausted or have a headache. Also in public settings when you want to remain inconspicuous.
- In these cases, you can either simply touch the points, without actually tapping. Or you can imagine tapping the points, without moving your hands at all. I have had great results with both non-tapping methods.
