Hi Sweet Readers,
My dear friend Nick Ortner visited me a few weeks ago to film a Chat & Chew episode about one of my favorite stress reduction and physical healing techniques — Tapping. Nick and his team have brought the power of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT, aka Tapping) to millions of people, and now they’re bringing it to us.
Get ready for an amazing experience!
Why is it called “Tapping”?
Because with EFT you literally tap on acupressure points (your body’s meridian points) while saying simple affirmations and focusing on a particular negative emotion, trauma, addiction or event (the list of possibilities goes on and on). This powerful combination of ancient Chinese medicine, modern psychology and positive reprogramming is changing lives every day by helping people resolve and finally move past their greatest mental and physical blocks. I invited Nick to my home to share this life-changing practice with you.
In this video, Nick and I introduce you to Tapping basics and teach you how to tap step-by-step.
It’s so easy, anyone can do it anywhere. You can start right now — just watch the video to learn how.
Backstory: A few years ago, I discovered EFT for the first time.
It seemed like I couldn’t speak with a colleague or open a newsletter without hearing about Tapping and its incredible healing power. Tapping was on my mind. I was curious. So, I listened to my gut and packed my bags for an EFT retreat near my home. The experience that followed was nothing short of miraculous.
I’ll never forget the swift transformations that occurred in just a few days as hundreds of people learned to tap and began dealing with emotional, mental and physical issues that had been deeply impacting their well-being for weeks, years, even decades.
Over the course of the weekend, I got to know Nick and his phenomenal team, and we’ve been as close as siblings ever since. Nick is my personal Tapping coach, and he’s even joined me on some of my Crazy Sexy retreats and worked with cancer patients to address the fear, depression and other challenges that come along with diagnosis.
If you’ve never heard of Tapping before, please approach this practice with an open heart and mind. It looks silly. It feels silly. But only at first.
When you begin experiencing the benefits of EFT, I think you’ll come to embrace it as a gift.
Tapping is my touchstone. It’s there to calm my nerves, mend my heart and center my mind. I tap before walking on stage and speaking to a crowd of thousands, I tap when I can’t sleep at night, I tap before a cancer scan, and I tap when I’m just plain old sad, mad and scared. We’re human and we need tools to deal with all the stress that comes along with being human. I hope you’ll add Tapping to your fabulous, sparkly tool belt. I know it’ll help.
Nick was also one of my amazing guests for the first-ever Healing Cancer World Summit. Using information I compiled from this event, I created a modern-day guide to help you in your cancer journey that you can find here.
Lastly, I hope you’ll voice your questions and share your experiences with Tapping in the comments below. See you there!
Peace & meridians,
I’m excited to try taping!
What an inspiration! 🙂 Tapping really is a shifting process. Everyday we face different stresses, and I think this can help to handle and deal with emotions and stress. Thank you so much for sharing this!I have also found an interesting topic same as this. You may take a look on this maybe for reference or another idea https://youtu.be/tZ-9D-EDHnI. I hope this would be helpful too.
I have been doing EFT for years and I got nowhere. Maybe because I used it on myself? I switched to faster eft, which is a modified EFT tapping version. ANd I love it. You can see how the tapping points differ here, they use only 4 points with faster eft. It is much simpler http://www.faster-eft.com/quick-faster-eft-protocol/
Need to try this!
I saw this done by Iylana Vanzant. It has just reaffirmed that I need to look into it more. Thanks.
Thank you, I really feel this works and is another natural way of healing from the inside out..God bless and I’ll be doing this regularly 🙂
I’m ready to try something new. Stress over the years really can wear a person down. This year has been especially hard with my husband, my best friend being diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer. This emotional stress is like nothing I have ever experienced. I feel myself slipping into a role of caregiver and trying to find a “cure” for him, but I really just want to be his wife. We are both working really hard on improving our lifestyles. Knowledge is power. For me my stress comes from the “unknown”. Not knowing what those next blood tests & cat scans are going to show, not knowing if this new “chemo” is going to slow this cancer down. Not sure how we are going to pay our bills, but especially,not knowing how I will be able to go on without him. It terrifies me. We are fortunate to have an amazing, loving family. I know I am wasting the precious time I have left with him being afraid and being stressed. I just don’t know how to let this fear & anxiety go and enjoy life again.
I’m interesting in learning more about Tapping, and letting the stress go of things I can’t control.
I would love to try this to help me lose the hormonal lbs that I have gained in my 50’s and deal with pain from Lyme’s Disease. Also, I am still living with my x-boyfriend until I find the right place for me.
Please sign me up for the tapping summit.
Hi from Serbia….all you there 🙂 You are great…This is great thing, and I am really focused on it. I like tapping so…so much, but I am just the beginner….Hope to see you…but, for true.
Just want to tell you that I am a Reiki Master..and very soon life coach…My teacher works by Mary Morrissey program..and I am proud for that fact. My wish is to see you face to face….because it’s like a miracle to me!
Thanks and best wishes from Serbia.
Vesna 🙂 <3
I have read a bit about tapping but didn’t know about looking at my problem and going about shifting it by using the tapping method. I am looking forward to achieving the results that others have obtained by putting it into practice.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing trauma dissolver !!!! God bless !!!
I? just read about EFT for depression. And I found your video very hefulpl and funny because you cover such a wide range of emotional compulsions around eating. I am grateful that you had the courage to make this video and allow the public the freedom to access the information. Especially since so many therapists charge huge fees and copyright material. May the universe bless you on your journey through life.
Does this tapping technique work for depression, bipolar and anxiety combined conditions ..they are consuming and medications don’t seem to be enough. Any books on this technique available?
Thank you
I’m 24 & just got diagnosed with smoldering myeloma, witch eventually. One day will become multiple myeloma! It’s been a month already one day I was just searching online lost & their u came up!!! Kris kart thank God u have given me soooo much hope for a better tomorrow.
I have a 3 year old 🙂 he is the air I breathe yours truly, chantay
Very information and alternative relaxation, stress relief, and anxiety reducer….beats being medicated any day. Thank you for sharing.
Kris you are SO meant to be on that stage. Of all the speakers at the I Can Do It I went to YOU were one of my favorites. You are awesome and we need you.
Thank you for the many things you have brought forward and bring to light with your journey. YOU are amazing!
I discovered tapping probably about 7 years ago, but I never truly “got it” until Nick’s eloquent and generous writings, videos and communications around this amazing tool! Tapping is extremely comforting to me — if more folks “deeply and completely loved and accepted themselves” — we could solve SO many of the world’s problems!
I felt so blessed to see both of you onstage last weekend at the Washington DC I Can Do It summit — thanks to you for all the important work that you do. Kris, as a cancer thriver too, I am deeply in awe of you and your crazy, sexy work 🙂
Very interesting site and info! Thanks . Will keep visiting surely!
