The basic patting round for anxiety relief

This patting round consists or saying out loud the setup phrase

three times while patting on the Karate Chop point followed by

saying the short reminder phrase or word as you pat on each of

the seven energy meridian points.

To review the meridian points go to patting points.

The Setup

This is where you make your statement about your negative

feeling followed by a positive affirmation... while patting on

the karate chop point on the hand. You repeat this process three

times without stopping.

The Round

One round is when you pat on each of the seven energy points

while you repeat a reminder phrase or word which is just a short

version of the negative feeling you have. You pat about seven

times on each before moving on to the next one.

More about the Setup

or not, so it is a good idea to do it most times. It is a

statement of your negative feeling followed by a positive

affirmation about yourself.

An example

"Even though I am feeling anxious about going out tonite,...

I accept myself anyway."

The first part can be said in many different ways such as:

Even though I am scared about going out tonite...

Even though I am worried about going out tonite...

Even though I have this anxiety about going out tonite...

Even though I am uneasy about going out tonite, but I do not

understand why...

Even though I have this funny feeling about going out tonite...

Even though I am very excited about going out tonite...

While the second part (positive statement) can be said in

many different ways too, such as:

I deeply and completely accept myself

I deeply and completely love and accept myself

I love and accept who I am anyway

I accept myself

So you can put together any of the above negative feeling

statements with any of the above positive statements which all

mean the same thing, but one or more of them will suit you

better. You will have a natural preference towards one

phrase of the first part because it will seem to describe your

feeling more accurately. The second part can make a difference

to your result depending on which one you use. "I accept myself

anyway" is a good standard, but when it does not work try going

to "I deeply and completely love and accept myself".

If you still do not get a great reduction in anxiety then try

saying the whole setup statement loudly and forcefully and if

that does not work try the instructions at low response. Your Setup

Phrase is repeated three times while patting your karate spot and

it tunes the mind and your energy meridians in to the feeling you

have so that the patting round will be more effective.

to remove the anxiety. You use a word or phrase to remind you

about the feeling each time you pat on an energy point.

Some examples

feeling anxious

this scared feeling

anxiety

feeling uneasy

funny feeling

excited

You just repeat this word or phrase as you tap on each energy

point and go through all seven of the points. This is called one

Round and it removes your particular anxiety by opening up the

energy flow on the meridian or meridians that are blocked or

partially blocked while you have that feeling in your mind or

body.
