10. Am I tapping correctly?


There is no magic in the exact way you tap. The procedure of tapping with your eyes closed alternating with opening your eyes and writing down your thoughts simply serves to structure the whole process so that you move forward from one idea to the next like a bus moving from one stop to another. I have tried the method without any tapping at all and found that people tended to become confused and unfocused, lost in their thoughts.

I find that tapping the side of your legs with your fingers, alternating left and right, seems to be the most comfortable, but you can also tap your knees, or tap with your toes instead. Experiment with the speed of tapping to discover what feels right to you. If you think of tapping into the greater wisdom, power, and creativity within you as you actually tap your legs, it will enhance the effect. Tapping the legs or tapping the toes also has a certain forward movement feel to it, as though you are walking towards a brighter tomorrow.
