Stress Relief EFT Tapping Script

Here’s an effective script designed to help you release the stress from your daily life. Remember to tap on each point as you say the phrases:

Take a deep breath in, and out. Start Tapping on the side of the hand.

Side of the hand:
Even though I’ve been feeling all this stress, 
I acknowledge the pressure I have been under, 
and I give my body permission to relax. 

Side of the hand: 
Even though I’m feeling all this stress, 
and part of me has been holding on to it, 
I now choose to begin to let it go.

Side of the hand: 
Even though I’m feeling all this stress, 
right now and right here, 
it’s safe to relax.

Moving to the eyebrow point. No need to repeat, just tap through the points as you reflect on the prompts.

Eyebrow:
What is creating the most stress in your life right now? Simply notice what comes to mind.

Side of the eye:
We can feel stress from so many different directions. But is there something you think about that creates the most amount of stress? And if nothing comes up, that’s okay too. You are being present with what is. 

Under the eye:
Be present with any stressful thoughts that appear. You don’t need to fear your thoughts or try to control them. You are making room for all your thoughts and feelings. 

Under the nose:
Your body reacts to those thoughts with a feeling of stress because it’s trying to protect you. Your body has gotten into the habit of being on high alert to try to keep you safe. It’s just misguided self love. 

Under the mouth:
You can thank your body for its good intentions and with every tap, you are letting your mind and body know that it is safe to let go and relax. 

Collarbone point:
You don’t need to control your stressful thoughts. Because you don’t need to believe everything you think. A thought can come in and a thought can go out. With every tap you are releasing the charge around stressful thoughts and coming home to your body 

Under the arm:
With new energy comes new clarity. With more peace comes new insights. You can’t stress yourself to a solution, so you are finding a new way.

Top of the head:
Allowing your mind body to relax more and more now.

Now move back to the eyebrow point, and repeat the following phrases either in your mind or out loud:

Eyebrow:
I acknowledge how stressed I have been feeling.

Side of the eye:
And I open myself up to more peace. 

Under the eye:
I recognize this pattern of stress and worry. 

Under the nose:
This pattern has never led me to the clarity and solutions I’m looking for. 

Under the mouth:
With every tap I am breaking this pattern. 

Collarbone point:
Any stressful situations will pass eventually.

Under the arm:
So I choose to feel more peace now. 

Top of the head:
Right now and right here it’s safe to relax. 

Eyebrow point:
Body, it’s safe to relax. 

Side of the eye:
Mind, it’s safe to take a break.

Under the eye:
I am connecting to my inner wisdom. 

Under the nose:
Feeling grounded and centered. 

Under the mouth:
Feeling protected and safe.

Collarbone point:
Feeling present and clear.

Under the arm:
Solutions are on their way. 

Top of the head:
I am finding my way.

Take a deep breath in, and out.

How to use EFT Tapping scripts effectively

To get the most out of this Tapping script, here are a few tips:

  1. Refresh yourself with the basics of the Tapping technique (including where the points are, tips for Tapping, and more).
  2. Find a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted.
  3. Take a few deep breaths to settle in.
  4. Before you begin, notice how you feel. Rate your stress levels, or the intensity of the feeling on a scale from 0-10. Do the same thing after you’ve finished to see if there’s any change in how you feel. 
  5. Repeat the sequence 2-3 times, or until you feel a noticeable reduction in stress.
  6. As you tap, feel free to adjust the words in the script to better match your specific situation.

Customizing EFT Tapping scripts

While pre-written scripts are great starting points, don’t be afraid to customize them:

  • Use your own words: If certain phrases don’t resonate, change them to something that feels more authentic to you.
  • Add specific details: Include particular situations or feelings that are contributing to your stress.
  • Incorporate physical sensations: If you feel stress in your body (e.g., tight chest, clenched jaw), mention these in your script.
