The Ultimate Guide to Tapping

Introduction:

If you're new to the world of Tapping, it's natural to feel a little hesitant. After all, the idea of tapping on certain points on your body to relieve stress and anxiety might seem a little strange. But the truth is, Tapping is a powerful technique that has helped millions of people around the world achieve greater levels of emotional and mental well-being. In this ultimate guide, we'll explore what Tapping is, how it works, and what you can expect when you try it for yourself.

What is EFT Tapping?

Tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, is a form of energy therapy that involves tapping on specific points on the body while focusing on a specific issue or emotion. This gentle tapping helps to balance the energy in your body and promote a sense of relaxation and calm. Tapping is based on the principles of acupuncture, but instead of using needles, we use gentle tapping to stimulate specific points on the body.

How does Tapping work?

Tapping works by stimulating the body's energy meridian points, which are the same points used in traditional acupuncture. By tapping on these points, we can release negative emotions and limiting beliefs, and create a greater sense of balance and harmony in our lives. The tapping also helps to reduce the body's stress response, which can help to reduce feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.

What are the benefits of Tapping?

Tapping is a highly effective technique that has been clinically proven to reduce anxiety by 40% in just a matter of minutes. But that's not all - it can also help with a variety of other emotional, performance-related, and physical issues like nerves, phobias, body pain, self-doubt, and low mood. With tapping, you'll discover a proven pathway to success, increased energy, and achieving your goals. 

It can also help you achieve a more positive mindset, increase your selflove and self-esteem, and improve your overall well-being. Because Tapping is gentle and non-invasive, it's a great option for anyone who wants to explore natural and holistic approaches to mental and emotional health.

What can I expect when I try Tapping?

When you first try Tapping, you might feel a little hesitant or unsure. But don't worry, the process is simple and straightforward. You'll begin by identifying the issue or emotion you want to work on, and then tapping on specific points on your body while focusing on that issue or emotion. You'll repeat this process several times, gradually releasing the negative emotion or belief and creating a greater sense of calm and relaxation. You might feel a little emotional during the process, but this is completely normal, and it's a sign that the technique is working.

Before tapping, it can be good to decide what issue you want to work on and then rate it on a scale between 0-10 and afterwards check in again and see it the number has gone down. If you want to keep going, you can continue tapping and see if it gets even lower.
