6. Kinesiology Emotional Reset Tap – 1 minute
A simple meridian-based technique. Tapping these points can be a stand-alone technique if you don’t have time to complete everything, as it also boosts the immune system and calms the adrenals and emotions.
1. K27 tapping (switch brain on, restore energy flow)
What it does:
Stimulating the K27 point (located at the base of the collarbone) is said to boost energy and circulation, similar to a “psychological acupuncture” point.
- Switches the brain “on”
- Improves polarity and coordination
- Helps with overwhelm and mental fatigue
- Resets the nervous system
- Helps anxiety, overwhelm, “fight or flight”
- Improves focus and emotional balance
When to use:
To give yourself an energy boost or help with concentration.
2. Thymus tapping (immunity + stress regulation)
What it does:
This involves gently tapping the centre of the chest bone where the thymus gland is located.
- Activates the thymus
- Boosts T-cell production
- Strengthens immune system
- Stabilises energy after stress
A perfect follow-on from K27.
When to use:
To help manage feelings of stress or being emotional, and to get an energy boost.
3. Below-the-eye tapping (and hand crossing optional) -Stomach meridian (calms worry, supports emotional processing)
What it does:
Tapping points below the eyes can help calm the nervous system. Crossing your hands while tapping, or performing other cross-body movements, helps to integrate the brain’s right and left hemispheres, which is called a homolateral crossover.
Benefits:
- Helps calm worry
- Supports grounding
- Regulates digestion + emotional processing
When to use:
This helps with overall emotional balance, stress reduction, and better integration between your brain and body.
4. Tapping Spleen Points (Spleen 21 + Spleen neurolymphatics)
The Spleen meridian is all about boosting the immune system. While it’s not directly related to calming the nervous system it is an easy addition to your routine and is optional.
Two options for spleen tapping:
A. Spleen Neurolymphatic Reflex Points
Located on the sides of the body (below the bra line).
Rub or tap gently.
Purpose:
- Supports spleen meridian
- Helps energy metabolism
- Boosts general vitality
- Strengthens immunity and digestion
B. Spleen 21 (Major Lymph point)
Under the armpit area, rib space.
Purpose:
- Helps clear lymphatic stagnation
- Supports the immune system
- Assists emotional flow
5. Triple Warmer Techniques
– To calm stress, soothe the nervous system, and switch off “fight–flight–freeze”
In kinesiology and energy medicine, Triple Warmer (also called Triple Burner or San Jiao) governs your entire survival system — the stress response, adrenal function, vigilance, and emergency energy.
When it becomes overactive, people experience:
- anxiety
- overwhelm
- irritability
- exhaustion
- difficulty “switching off”
- getting stuck in fight/flight mode
- feeling jumpy, reactive, or wired-but-tired
- Temple tapping helps restore balance beautifully.
- Repeat 3–5 times
Triple Warmer Smoothie
- Place your fingers at your temples. Hold for one deep breath, breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth;
- On another deep breath, slowly slide your fingers up and around your ears, smoothing the skin while maintaining some pressure;
- On the out breath, slide your fingers down and behind your neck and hang them on your shoulders;
- Push your fingers into your shoulders, and when you are ready, drag them over the top of your shoulders and smooth them to the middle of your chest over your heart.
- Repeat 3 to 5 times.
Tap Triple Warmer Hand Point
– to Sedate Triple Warmer Meridian (see picture)
This exercise can calm anxiety and worry.
- On the backside of your hand, find the groove between the ring and pinky fingers;
- Tap into the groove while thinking of stress (You can also rest your flat hand on your heart and tap in the groove.).
Benefits of working with Triple Warmer:
- Calms the stress response
- Switches off “fight or flight”
- Reduces anxiety and overwhelm
- Helps the body feel safe
- Supports the spleen + immune system
- Promotes emotional balance and restfulness
Trace it forward starting at the finger to boost adrenaline and energy!

A moment to breathe.
A moment to ground.
A moment to reconnect with the wisdom that already lives within you.
Whether you’re clearing your aura, grounding into the Earth, soothing Triple Warmer, or closing your energy for the night, you are training your system to feel safe, centred, and supported. Over time, these gentle rituals create a ripple effect – calming your mind, restoring your power, and strengthening your inner light.
Your energy shapes your reality. And when you care for it, everything in your life begins to shift.
May these practices bring you balance, clarity, and a deeper sense of peace as you move through each day.
