Tapping Points

Tapping points on the face

Description of Tapping Buttons

  1. At the beginning of the eyebrow, just above and to one side of the nose.

  2. On the bone bordering the outside corner of the eye.

  3. On the bone under an eye about one inch below your pupil.

  4. On the small area between the bottom of your nose and the top of your upper lip, halfway between the two.

  5. Midway between the point of your chin and the bottom of your lower lip, or in the “dip.”

Tapping points on the torso

Description of Tapping Buttons

  1. The junction where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone, and first rib meet. To locate it, first place your forefinger on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone (about where a man would knot his tie). From the bottom of the U, move your forefinger down toward the navel one inch, and then go to the left (or right) one inch.

  2. On the side of the body, at a point even with the nipple (for men) or in the middle of the bra strap (for women). It is about four inches below the armpit.

  3. The intersection of two lines on the top of your head (the tip of one ear, over your head, to the tip of the other ear; and a line from the tip of your nose, to the base of your skull).

Tapping point on the hand

Description of Tapping Buttons

  1. On the back of either hand, ˝ inch behind the midpoint between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and the little finger. If you draw an imaginary line between the knuckles at the base of the ring finger and little finger, and consider that line to be the base of an equilateral triangle whose other sides converge to a point (apex) in the direction of the wrist, then the button would be located at the apex of the triangle.
