I came along something again to share quite by accident. I was loading an app on my phone to upgrade when something caught my eye "Tapping Solution". It was green icon which seemed to speak my colors lately of serenity and peace. "What the heck?" I asked myself and downloaded it. It couldn't hurt!
I don't know about you, but most days my nerves are haywire. Oh, and it doesn't take much to turn on the switch. From the moment my feet hit the floor upon rising from my bed that circuit is alive in 30 minutes, thoughts traveling the rate of the speed of light. You'd think that highway would get jammed and bump a few off on the nearby exits. Not a chance! Every little thing that is viewed produces mounds of unwanted needs and expectations.
So, I was well versed on how anxiety produces more pain. And pain is a facet of life these days. The trick is to reduce that steady amount of pain. Doesn't it make sense if we can rewire, or coat those existing wires with a little more insulation, they don't get frazzled? This is where my talents falter. I have never been able to reduce that initial anxiety I feel that revs me up all day long.
But this new technique promised a complete rewiring. And all you had to do is tap away.
I tried the tapping. I felt relief. So, of course, I needed more information! Let me give you a bit of the story:
Tapping, also known as EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), is a powerful holistic healing technique that has been proven to effectively resolve a range of issues, including stress, anxiety, phobias, emotional disorders, chronic pain, addiction, weight control, and limiting beliefs, just to name a few.
Tapping therapy is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Tapping with the fingertips on specific meridian endpoints of the body, while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations, helps to calm the nervous system, rewire the brain to respond in healthier ways, and restore the body’s balance of energy.
Tapping makes full use of the mind-body connection, acknowledging and integrating the concepts that physical pain, disease, and mental well being are intricately connected to our emotional states.
The body is equipped with an energy system that travels along pathways known as meridians. Tapping on these meridian endpoints helps to stimulate this system, and when verbally or mentally addressing the root causes of distress, the areas of blocked energy are able to release and flow naturally.
The basic Tapping technique requires you to focus on the negative emotion at hand - a fear, a worry, a bad memory, an unresolved problem, or anything that’s bothering you. While maintaining your mental focus on this issue, you use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times on each of the 9 specific meridian points of the body.
Tapping on these meridian points in sequence while concentrating on the negative emotions engages both the brain’s limbic system and the body’s energy system, encouraging a sense of safety and resolution. And as the scientific field of epigenetics is proving, when you change your internal environment - your emotions and beliefs - external changes in your mental & physical health will follow.
In some ways, Tapping is similar to acupuncture. Like Tapping, acupuncture achieves healing through stimulating the body’s meridians and energy flow. However, unlike Tapping, acupuncture involves needles! “No needles” is definitely one of the advantages of Tapping!
Tapping is simple and painless. It can be learned by anyone, and you can apply it to yourself whenever you want, wherever you are. It can be used with a specific emotional intent towards your own unique life challenges and experiences. Most importantly, Tapping gives you the power to heal yourself, putting control over your destiny back into your own hands.
