What is tapping? Tapping has been described as emotional acupuncture without the needles. It is based on the Chinese energy meridian theory which describes the life force, an electrical energy called Chi, as circulating throughout the body through these invisible meridians. Physical and emotional problems are considered to be caused by disturbances in this flow of energy. Physically tapping on certain meridian points can be used to release physical and emotional pain, negative beliefs that drive our lives, and old negative behavior patterns. At the end of a tapping session, the person develops peace, focus, mental clarity and the ability to take inspired action!
What tapping does, with amazing efficiency, is halt the fight-or-flight response and reprogram the brain and body to act—and react—differently….Research at Harvard Medical School over the past decade has shown that stimulation of selected meridian acupoints decreases activity in the amygdala, hippocampus (another part of the limbic system), and other parts of the brain associated with fear. In fMRI and PET brain scans, you can clearly see the amygdala’s red alert being called off when acupoints are stimulated. Nick Ortner in The Tapping Solution. The Harvard study focused on needles; another well designed study showed that stimulating the points as in tapping produced similar results in the brain. Other scientific research has documented changes in the stress hormone (cortisol), levels (24 to 50 percent less after a one hour tapping session). In research a review in the APA journal, tapping was described as appearing to meet the Division 12 criteria for designation as a “well-established treatment” for PTSD, public speaking, anxiety, and depression. Thousands of case studies have described tapping being successfully used successfully to eliminate or decrease common problems of ordinary people.
