"On the fly" <-- that's when I tap just a little in very awkward places
"One hand tapping" (thank you Linda for the idea!) <-- similar to the above
"No-setup tapping"<-- that's when I tap just because. Mainly right before I fall asleep. It (strangely?) helps me relax. Even though it's mostly used for energizing
"Tapping with positive affirmations" <-- I am still more comfortable with tapping on positive than on negative...
What about you?

I do all that you mention Irina. Also, I just tap where-ever -- especially on my children. Up and down the spine a lot. Today, I was tapping on my son during a K-9 demonsration. He is afraid of dogs. After about 5 minutes, he started tapping my arm.
For myself, I tap in the car while driving, often without setup or real "purpose."
At the dentist (the wrist points finally cleared me getting shivers at the sound of the drill ....)
Walking in the morning -- I just think of the points - don't actually tap
At karate practice - for my own stress and if I see a person get hurt
When I hear a child crying and his parent stressing ... I mentally tap for love and peace and whatever they need knowing that I don't know what they need
When I'm writing my newsletter -- I write a bit and then tap to see it if works ...
When I read posts ....
When I should be tapping and don't:
When my grumpy, demanding, rude, lazy, clumsy, ungrateful, uncomfortable-in his-body, so-miserable-around-me, what-the-heck-is-his-problem, he-doesn't-act-this-way-around-his-dad,he's-already-taking-advantage-of-women-and he's-only-nine,why-can't-he-show-me-more-respect
son gets my goat and completely stresses me out .....

What? There is not total peace and perfection in sight?

Nowhere, nohow, never going to happen, I'm destined to have a grumpy relationship with my son for the rest of my life .... <grin>
But I am struck by a cool thought ... (If I can say so myself ...)
Since the fingertips are part of the meridian system and used tapping, I wonder if we can get a tapping advantage just from venting and typing .... there's a thought .......

That's blilliant thought.
You should branch out your own school of EFT. "Message Board EFT"? "EFTAK" ( as opposed to NAK )?

Update -- just so you all know I work my own stuff and so this energy isn't stuck here .... I worked with this issue with my practitioner ... (yes, I pay someone else to tap with despite my own brilliance ) and had some amazing insights and energetic shifts all around masculine and feminine energies -- if you read my newsletters, you know that's a current theme for me .... (I'll post the next one soon ... )
Basically I was misdirecting my masculine energy towards myself and really judging and hacking myself up --my feminine energy was way outside of me and unprotected. What I ended up doing was turning the focus of the masculine energy towards outside and bringing in the feminine more inside of me where it's protected -- it's a huge shift and has the effect of stopping all negative self-talk .... I'm really jazzed as it's so integrating for me and is the culmination of years of work ....

I've been meaning to post....Deborah? Did I type this? I could have typed this. I feel like the tapping on my own power is helping me here...How about you?
