EFT tapping script: Sitting With Body Pain

Use this session when physical pain feels frustrating or overwhelming and you need a moment to meet your body with more patience.

Tap gently with two fingers, about seven times on each point. Say each phrase out loud or quietly in your head. There's no perfect way to do it.

Round 1: Say what's true

1. Side of handMy body hurts right now.
2. Top of headI’m frustrated with how much this pain gets in the way.
3. EyebrowPart of me is angry at my own body.
4. Side of eyeI’m tired of pushing through this.
5. Under eyeMy body feels exhausted from carrying this pain.
6. Under noseI wish this would just go away.
7. ChinPart of me feels betrayed by my body.
8. CollarboneI can admit how hard this has been.
9. Under armThis pain affects more than just my body.

Take one easy breath. Notice whether anything has shifted, even slightly. If nothing has changed yet, that’s completely okay. Keep breathing, and we’ll continue.

Round 2: Soften it

1. Side of handI can be frustrated with this pain and still be gentle with myself.
2. Top of headMy body isn’t the enemy, even when it hurts.
3. EyebrowI don’t have to fight this pain to get through it.
4. Side of eyeI can make space for discomfort without letting it take everything.
5. Under eyeMy body is doing its best with what it has right now.
6. Under noseI’m allowed to rest without feeling like I’m giving up.
7. ChinI can meet this pain with patience instead of anger.
8. CollarboneI’m allowed to ask for help and support.
9. Under armI can care for my body exactly as it is today.

Take another slow breath. Notice what feels different now. You don’t need the feeling to disappear. See if there’s simply a little less pressure, or a little more choice in how you meet this moment.

Round 3: Choose what's next

1. Side of handI’m capable of getting through hard days like this.
2. Top of headI trust my body is trying to heal in its own way.
3. EyebrowI’m allowed to move at whatever pace my body needs.
4. Side of eyeI can find small moments of ease, even now.
5. Under eyeMy body deserves patience, not punishment.
6. Under noseI’m learning to listen instead of override.
7. ChinI can honor what my body is going through.
8. CollarboneI’m more than this pain.
9. Under armI’m ready to treat my body like it’s on my side.
