In “How to End a Tapping Session” I shared a tapping pattern I use at the end of an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) session that helps the healing process to continue throughout the day.
In addition to setting up the body’s energy system to continue the healing process throughout the day, it also is very helpful to restate all that we learned and achieved during this tapping session.
When we are tapping we are engrossed in the process. We are tuning-in to the emotions and memories that are coming up and we trust ourselves to come up with the right phrases and images. I know that when I am in the middle of tapping for myself that I am not fully consciously aware of everything I am thinking and saying.
I have found it very helpful at the end of a session to take a few moments to consider what I have learned (or relearned) during the session. I have found this is a great way to reinforce the work and sometimes I find affirmations that I can use to tap on at a later date.
The process is very simple. I keep tapping and I have myself finish these three statements.
During this tapping session I learned the following about myself. . .
During this tapping session I learned the following about my system . . .
During this tapping session I learned the following about my relationships . . .
I use each of the phrases three or four times each. Each time I come up with a new insight. Sometimes the insights come right away. Other times I need to pause for a few moments for my thoughts to come together.
It only takes a minute or two and it can make a big difference in helping the changes and benefits from one tapping session have a more lasting effect, and you will be surprised with the wisdom you have uncovered during the session.

This looks like a great way to end a session and savor the healing work that was done. Reinforcing all the good work that we addressed in the session for lasting effects.

I haven´t yet tried this suggtestion.
It seemingly will anchor the insights we arrived at in our tapping.
Conscious perception is what we are striving for; consciousness is everything. Ancor it.

I read an article by Gene in EFT newsletter it was very interesting and most touching, about how to end a tapping session, actually I was moved to tears by the article, it was more in depth , than this article here. Also I would like to say that the article in EFT newsletter has inhanced my knowledge about EFT to the point that had I missed that article my life would be deminished in regards to using EFT. Thats how good that article was, hope you reprint it here.

I have a question, in the second phrase what does it mean by “my system?” What is “my system” referring to? This causes some confusion for a friend and myself;-)

When I say the system I mean the entire body and all that makes it up.
