What is Tapping?

Tapping is a simple, gentle procedure based on the principles of acupuncture that realigns the body’s energy system without the use of needles. By stimulating the energy channels or meridians in your body along with verbal guidance, you can uncover and get to the core of your specific issues. The energy starts to move on the physical side and verbal coaching works on the emotional side. You get the best of both worlds when you tap and talk!

What Does Energy Have To Do With It?

Albert Einstein told us back in the 1920's that everything (including our bodies) is composed of energy. If beliefs and emotions start in our energy, wouldn't it make sense to clear them from our energy? This is a very different way of looking at symptoms and they are your body's way to talk to you. Are you listening or trying to quiet the symptoms? As you begin to understand how energy works, you will know that WHAT YOU RESIST, WILL PERSIST. That's why when you feel good, it's referred to being in the flow since you are not resisting. When you resist, that's when symptoms of all types, start. You may be convinced that you just haven't been lucky finding the right job, or the right partner or you just can't keep the weight off for whatever reason. You are convinced that those physical pains are because you pushed your body too hard in some way or that you are just getting old, right? Your body is talking to you telling you that something is out of balance. When you clear the ENERGY of your emotions and beliefs, your body relaxes, and amazing releases happen. Long-standing issues can and often do heal completely. Imagine that you are squeezing your fist for an hour and then let go. After an hour, when you let go, it will most likely hurt because your hand is meant to move, and be free flowing. When you block it up by squeezing it tightly, it responds with pain. The same thing happens in your body. When you are tight, tense, and energetically stuck, you will start to get physical or mental discomfort and symptoms because your energy is meant to be free-flowing and move with ease. Tapping clears the energy that is the driving cause of the issue instead of shutting down the symptoms. Unless you clear the underlying cause, symptoms will usually speak up in even more ways to say... nope, you haven't gotten to the core of the problem yet! I don't know about you, but I want more in my life than that!

How Do Old Emotions Get Stuck?

What most people don't know is that before the age of six, we download into our subconscious mind everything we watch, learn, and take in without any discernment or question. These experiences create our beliefs whether we know it or not and we begin to attract similar situations creating proof that this is "the way it is". The Law of Attraction says, what we focus on, we get more of. However, the missing piece to this statement is that your subconscious mind runs 95% of what you do including all the bodily functions you take for granted... like breathing, digestion... It is the job of the subconscious to keep you safe. If something you are striving toward is perceived on a subconscious level as unsafe, you will sabotage, you will create blocks, you will do the same "mistakes" over and over and over again and wonder why you can't get to where you want to go! You are not crazy, stupid or lazy. YOU ARE STUCK in your subconscious mind and energy. That's why Tapping is so effective. It allows you to pull up emotions that have been holding in your body that are causing you all kinds of frustration hurt, and sadness, and you can release them with Tapping. That's why affirmations often times don't work. You say affirmations on a conscious level. The problem is in the subconscious mind and energy. See the problem? Think about your beliefs like a house of cards. Some event in your life produces a belief and every time something happens where you have the same emotions, situation or event, you add more proof and what you believe is reinforced. If you pull out the bottom of the house of cards, all the rest of the cards can collapse easily. It is the same with undesirable emotions and beliefs. If you pull out the foundation of the belief, the rest of the "proof" will release! That is what produces the freedom, the excitement, and the relief!

The Process

Think back to something that happened to you… an incident, or something that someone said to you that bothered you, or gave you a "hit" or a sizzle in your energy. Maybe it was something that your parents said or did to you; maybe it's something that a coach or teammate said to you; maybe it's something a teacher told you; maybe it's something a friend did or said that really took you by surprise or really hurt you. Go back and think of the incident. Now pay attention to how you FELT. Are you still able to feel those feelings now, and maybe even with the same intensity that you remember back then? THAT feeling, those emotions are holding energetically and they are driving your behavior today. Clear the feeling, belief and emotions, and you WILL change your behavior. It's like pulling out the bottom cards from a house of cards. The rest of the house (symptoms) will collapse. Be assured it doesn't have to take long, be difficult or that you have to suffer through it all again like you did back then. Pull out the foundation and the rest falls into place easily and effortlessly. Clients are often surprised at what is still holding, and how quickly it can change, relax and let go.

What To Expect

When a clients comes to me, they have usually tried many other avenues that standard western culture suggests including counseling (sometimes for many years), sports psychology, drugs, surgery, programs/workshops, self help books, and many forms of alternative healing and energy work. The road has been frustrating, painful, and disappointing for many... and now the hope begins. Usually in the first session, people are struck by the emotion that comes out of nowhere and how quickly I get to the "old stuff!" Your body energy has been holding it until you could find a way to balance it out again and be safe. I hear descriptions of tingling, heat, energy moving in their body, lightness, and sometimes exhaustion because it's exhausting to hold on to such big stuff for years. I have also had clients feel energized on the spot. Most feel lighter, happier, and encouraged that something different is now happening in a different way than ever before! The idea is to feel symptoms emotions and beliefs, honor them and energetically release them because they no longer serve a purpose in the same way. This is a different way to think about your body, and what it's telling you. You are not lazy, stupid, a failure or any other negative tag you have put on yourself. You are stuck with some buried negative ENERGY that has been protecting you but no longer serves you. It's a joy for me to watch the transformation of my clients and I feel grateful that I am able to help. Tapping is an amazing technique. I've used it to heal my own issues so I KNOW it works. Remember this, it's not just in your head - it's in your energy!
