EFT Tapping for the Chakras
Our emotions and energy flow through an intricate system in the body, one that ancient traditions have mapped out for thousands of years. The chakras—seven major energy centers along the spine—play a crucial role in our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
When out of balance, they can lead to physical pain, emotional distress, and a sense of disconnection from our higher purpose. Fortunately, one of the most powerful and accessible techniques for restoring harmony is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), or tapping.
EFT tapping is a simple yet profoundly effective method that involves tapping on specific acupuncture points while focusing our attention and voicing powerful phrases that help to activate specific states.
Doing so allows us to move and process any stuck emotions, rewire subconscious programming, and bring ourselves back into a state of harmony and balance. In my book, EFT Through the Chakras, I explore how this technique can be applied specifically to each chakra, creating a powerful synergy between ancient energy healing wisdom and modern psychology.
And I’m excited to share that a fully updated 2025 version of EFT Through the Chakras will be available soon!
Additionally, for those who want a hands-on experience, I offer a live online class called EFT Through the Chakras, where you can practice these techniques in a supportive and guided setting. Click the link to learn more!

Why Work with EFT Through the Chakras?
Traditional EFT works by tapping on meridian points—energy channels recognized in Chinese medicine. The chakras, a concept rooted in yogic traditions, function as major energetic hubs along the body. By integrating these two systems, EFT Through the Chakras provides a multi-layered approach to healing that works on:
The Physical Body – Addressing pain, muscle tension, and overall vitality.
The Emotional Body – Releasing trapped emotions, stress, and limiting beliefs.
The Spiritual Body – Aligning with higher consciousness and inner wisdom.
The Seven Chakras & How EFT Supports Them
Each chakra governs different physical, emotional, and mental aspects of our being. By using EFT specifically for each chakra, we can dissolve energy blockages and restore harmony.
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Grounding & Security
Located at the base of the spine, the root chakra is linked to survival, stability, and feeling safe in the world. When imbalanced, it can lead to fear, anxiety, and a lack of security.
EFT Focus: Tapping through feelings of fear, insecurity, and instability while affirming safety and stability in life.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I feel unsafe and uncertain, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – Creativity & Emotion
Located just below the navel, this chakra governs emotions, creativity, and relationships. Imbalances can manifest as emotional instability, creative blocks, or relationship struggles.
EFT Focus: Releasing shame, guilt, and emotional blockages while affirming creative flow and joy.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I feel blocked in expressing my creativity, I choose to embrace my unique gifts.”
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) – Confidence & Personal Power
Situated above the navel, this chakra is responsible for self-esteem, confidence, and personal power. When imbalanced, it can result in self-doubt, procrastination, and digestive issues.
EFT Focus: Dissolving self-doubt and fear of failure while reinforcing self-worth and empowerment.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I doubt myself and feel powerless, I choose to stand in my confidence and strength.”
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata) – Love & Compassion
Located in the center of the chest, the heart chakra is the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, governing love, compassion, and connection.
EFT Focus: Releasing heartbreak, grief, and resentment while embracing love and forgiveness.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I feel hurt and closed off, I open my heart to love and healing.”
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha) – Communication & Truth
This chakra, located at the throat, governs self-expression and speaking one’s truth. Imbalances can manifest as fear of speaking up, throat issues, or a tendency to suppress emotions.
EFT Focus: Releasing fear of self-expression while affirming confidence in one’s voice and truth.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I struggle to express myself, I allow my voice to be heard with confidence.”
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna) – Intuition & Inner Wisdom
Positioned between the eyebrows, the third eye chakra is the center of intuition, insight, and higher perception. Blockages can lead to confusion, indecisiveness, and lack of clarity.
EFT Focus: Clearing mental fog, self-doubt, and skepticism while enhancing intuitive abilities.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I doubt my intuition, I trust and embrace my inner wisdom.”
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara) – Spiritual Connection & Higher Consciousness
The crown chakra, located at the top of the head, represents our connection to the universe, spiritual insight, and higher purpose. Imbalances may manifest as disconnection, lack of purpose, or existential doubt.
EFT Focus: Releasing spiritual doubt and fostering a deeper sense of connection and trust in life’s flow.
Example Setup Statement: “Even though I feel disconnected and lost, I trust that I am divinely guided and supported.”
