Chinese Acupressure Points

                                             The Points

For convenience when referring to the points, the abbreviations below are used to refer to them. Also common English descriptions are used instead ot the Chinese names and points. All of these points are tapped about 7 times while repeating the reminder phrase.

Face Points		There are five points on the face, which are tapped from top to bottom, or beginning with the Eye Brow Point (EB). This is at the beginning of the eyebrows, near the nose. The Side of the Eye Point, (SE) is on the bone at the side of the eye, farthest from the nose. The next point is on a bone Under the Eye (UE). The Under the Nose Point is between the bottom of the nose and the top of the lip (UN).
		From the notch in the middle of the Collar Bones (CB), go down 1 inch and sideways 1 inch to locate this point. By tapping the Collar Bone Point with all four fingers, you will get the right place. The collar bone point is not actually on the collar bone but is the start of the collar bone.
Armpit		The Armpit Point is about 4 inches below the armpit.
Below Nipple		The Below Nipple Point is just below the male nipple. It is on the crease where the female breast meets the body.
Thumb		This point is located at the base of the thumb (TB) nail.
Index Finger		The Index Finger point is near the base of the nail of the index finger, on the thumb side.
Middle Finger		The Middle Finger Point is near the nail bed on the thumb side of the finger.
Baby Finger		The Baby Finger Point is near the nail bed of the baby finger, on the thumb side
Karate Chop Point		The Karate Chop Point is in the fleshy part of the little-finger side of the hand. It is at the end of the palm crease which you see when the fist is lightly clenched. The Karate Chop Point is tapped vigorously, but not too hard, with the fingers of the opposite hand.

Reminder Phrase

You tap on each of the points below, while repeating the phrase:

Even though I (have this problem), I deeply and completely accept myself.

If you have already been through the process, and the problem is less, you would use the modified reminder phrase:

Even though I (have some of this problem), I deeply and completely accept myself.

The Sequence

The exact order of the sequence is not essential and you can tap points in a different order. Also, when there is a choice of two points (one on each side of the body) if you wish, you can mix and match as you tap.

1. Eyebrow (EB)
2. Side of Eye (SE)
3. Under the Eye (UE)
4. Under the Nose (UN)
5. Chin (CH)
6. Collar Bone (CB)
7. Armpit
8. Under the Nipple (UN)
9. Thumb (TH)
10. Index Finger (IF)
11. Middle Finger (MF)
12. Baby Finger (BF)
13. Karate Chop Point (KC)

• Because you tap on each of the points about 7 times with two or more finger, accuracy is not that important because one of the fingers will find the point.
• You often have the choice of tapping on either side, for instance, using the left hand or the right hand. You can change sides as you wish. It is still as effective. 
• It is quite easy to remember the points and you should remember them rather than looking at the illustrations because you can then use the technique whenever you like.
• In many cases, you might use the whole hand to pat firmly in the area. For the collar bone points, using the whole hand and patting the area makes getting the right acupressure points (by applying pressure and by vibration) easier. Even with the finger points, patting the area with the whole hand is effective. 

                               Sore Spot

The sore spot is about 3 inches down from the notch in the middle of the collar bones, and about 2 inches to the side. (There is one on each side). Within a two inch area, you will find a sore spot. The sore spot is rubbed. It is the only point that isn't tapped. When doing the setup, rub the Sore Spot in an area of about 2 or 3 inches. The point feels sore to begin with, but later may no longer be sore.

You can use the sore spot or the Karate Point in the setup, but the Sore Spot is recommended.

Karate Chop Point

The Karate Chop Point is in the fleshy part of the little-finger side of the hand. It is at the end of the palm crease which you see when the fist is lightly clenched. The Karate Chop Point is tapped vigorously, but not too hard, with the fingers of the opposite hand.

Either rubbing the Sore Spot or tapping the Karate Chop Point, you chant 3 times:

Press for headache, depression, Chestpain.

                  The Gamut Point

The Gamut Point is located between the bones of the ring finger and the baby finger, about an inch down from the knuckles. You tap this point with two (or more fingers). You do so vigorously, but not too hard. All the time you repeat the reminder phrase (See above).
