Anyone heard of the technique tapping?

When I was getting remicade infusions last year, one of the nurses was talking to me about a trip I was going to take and how afraid I am to fly...she started telling me the wonders of tapping, sent me a link that I never checked out. Maybe it is a thing!

I watched my bestfriend hide in the kitchen and tap-tap-tap every time her mother in law walked in. Her GP gave her the exercises in times of stress (she taps specific zones around her forehead, nose, chest etc)...she is still just as if not more stressed than ever but swore that it worked wonders at the time...I have personally never tried it. I would prefer to 'tap' the person giving me stress!

I am a tapping freak! haha. It's called EFT Emotional Freedom Technique. It's based on the same meridians that accupuncture uses, tapping on where the meridians end. By tapping on these points while focusing on a particular problem many people feel relief.

I have even been to a professional practitioner who worked with me to release past traumas and it was nothing short of amazing. Check out the you tube channel of Brad Yates who is the best one online I have found for free. He has many issues he will lead you through, and it's good practice.

Another dude, Gene Monterestelli has a whole website with podcasts, CD's, free stuff, a radio show and more but some he charges for.

So yes, it's a real thing and IMHO it works.

Thank you guys so much for the replies!!! Skn69 -hmmmm very interesting re: your friend, a tiny bit discouraging. bebekspor-if your ever worried about going on a flight again, you should at least give this a try, see what happens.you should look up the video I watched, the website is tapping.com. Nice nurse- I'm so glad you saw this thread! What have you used tapping for that has been your biggest success? Have you used it for pain, an extreme amount? Seen results?

Tapping is an evidence based technique to relieve or decrease lots of feelings. I first learned of it when I was supporting a friend who was going through cancer treatments.
