What a Wonderful Year! Thank You!

FREE holiday tapping script included!

 

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season!

I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for joining us this past year on this amazing journey of growth, healing, and human evolution. The results I’ve personally witnessed in the past year have been nothing short of ASTOUNDING.

It is a joy to be able to read one email after another from people who have had amazing breakthroughs with healing old traumas, busting through limiting beliefs, releasing pain, and much more.

It is your commitment to change, to living the life of your dreams that makes what I do possible, and I’m very grateful for that.

This past year has been quite a ride, starting with the Tapping World Summit that over 100,000 people attended! If you missed it, don’t worry, the next one is right around the corner, beginning February 25th.

After the Summit, many of you continued to get amazing results with tapping by joining us in the Tapping Insiders Club.

We also reached a HUGE milestone this year by releasing The Tapping Solution App, a dream of mine for years, that's helping to get Tapping into the hands of everyday people around the world!

Your financial support for tapping has enabled us to do so massive social good this year as well, raising TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars for organizations like Charity: Water, The Tapping Solution Foundation, and the Veterans Stress Project.

 

Oh, and I almost forgot, we continue to donate copies of our books to veteran’s hospitals, prisons, schools and more, and we’re seeing it have a profound impact.

It’s hard to express my gratitude through a blog post for this work and for every one of you out there reading this, tapping, healing and growing with us...

So all I can say is thank you! Keep tapping. It works, it works miracles, it works wonders...

But you have to do it. During this busy holiday season, chose a different possibility for your life. Choose to let go of old hurts and patterns and fill that space with love, hope, and healing.

I’ve included a short tapping script below that might help with this!

Until next time... Happy Holidays...

And Keep Tapping!

Nick Ortner

P.S.  If you’ve had success with tapping this year, if something we’ve shared with you has helped you,  moved you, or if you just want to say hello, please share your thoughts below. We read everything and it makes all of our hard work in putting this information together worth it!

Holiday Tapping Script

(If you’re new to the tapping process you can learn more about it here.)

Karate Chop: Even though I’m overwhelmed by everything that is going on this holiday season, I deeply and completely accept myself

Karate Chop: Even though I’m stressed out because I have way too much to do, and not enough time, I deeply and completely accept myself

Karate Chop: Even though I’m frustrated with the craziness of the holidays, I chose to relax now

Eyebrow: Way too stressed out
Side of the Eye: Too much to do
Under Eye: I’ve got way too much to do
Under Nose: And not enough time
Under Mouth: There’s just not enough time
Collarbone: And it’s stressing me out
Under Arm:  Too many presents to buy
Top of the Head: Too many people to see

(Continuing through the points again...)

Eyebrow: Why do the holidays have to be so crazy?
Side of the Eye: It’s nuts!
Under Eye: But I can choose to relax now
Under Nose: I can choose to relax anytime
Under Mouth: I can choose to let go
Collarbone: I chose to enjoy this holiday season
Under Arm: I chose to notice the love, joy, and peace around me
Top of the Head: I chose to create love, joy, and peace around me

Take a deep breath...

And let it go...

What came up? If there’s something specific that’s bothering you, tap on that. Remember, the more specific you can get on your issue the better. The above is just to get you started.

Spend another 5 minutes (I know you don’t think you have the time, but you do - make YOURSELF a priority) and continue to tap down any stress, anxiety or worry you might be feeling.

I’ve just come up with a new rule for myself around tapping that you might enjoy...

“Don't stop tapping unless the issue is at a '3' of  intensity or less...”

So keep going until you bring at least one primary challenge down significantly. You’ll thank yourself for it later!

Release Your Anxiety with Tapping

Do you know what it feels like to live without anxiety? I mean to be truly free from all doubts and worries and live in a blissful state of the present moment?

It can be a tough thing to do, because there is just SO much that's "out there" to stress over. But it can be achieved with practice and, of course, Tapping!

The other day I jumped on Facebook Live to offer a free tap-along on releasing anxiety. Take a few minutes to watch and tap with me!

Here's a direct link to the video on Facebook

The Tapping Solution App

Tapping has been scientifically proven to lower anxiety by sending a calming signal to the parts of the brain that control the stress response in our bodies.

In The Tapping Solution App, we have lots of different Tapping Meditations that specifically address anxiety on a wide range of topics.

The App is free to download, with FREE meditations available to immediately listen to from each category.

Releasing Financial Stress with Tapping

 

When you think about money or your finances, what's the most prevalent emotion that comes up for you?

Is it peace, contentment, or joy? Or is it stress, anxiety, or frustration?

For many, it's the latter. Perhaps it's debt, or maybe you're on a fixed income and can't really enjoy the things you'd like to because you're always thinking about whether or not you can afford it.

When I surveyed over 10,000 people a few years back, the number one issue people wanted to work on was stress around their finances. And it's for a good reason!

More Than Money

When we are in a financial bind, the level of anxiety goes deeper than just the purchasing of material things. Money is tied to our most primitive needs for survival in our modern society, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc.

So when we feel financial lack, it activates that fear mechanism in the most ancient parts of our brains.

If you're familiar with the chakra system, the first chakra, located at the base of the spine, has to do with core survival emotions and beliefs. This includes money, which is why lower back problems can often accompany financial stress.

It's All in Your Head

Improving our financial situation can sometimes be tricky because it seems like simply having more money would fix everything. That sounds logical, right?

But the truth is, money is just an outward expression of our inner belief systems. Like many other areas of our lives, what we think about, we bring about.

So if you're currently feeling frustration and lack, there's a part of your mind (either consciously or subconsciously) that's working on that level. And if you notice, it will usually present itself in cycles.

That's why even if we came into a large sum of money, our bank accounts would gradually diminish to the amount we "think" we should have or deserve, leading us back to our starting point or back into debt.

Around and around this cycle will continue, until it's broken. That's where Tapping comes in!

The Tapping Solution App

 

One of the first issues to address is the stress and anxiety around your finances. This is the doorway to reaching those beliefs that may be keeping us stuck, and helps to calm that primitive part of our brains so that we can address our money issues more clearly.

In The Tapping Solution App, we have an entire series dedicated to wealth and abundance.

To get you started, here's the free meditation from this category that comes with your free download of the app.

Stress and Anxiety About My Finances

https://tappingsolution.s3.amazonaws.com/APP/Wealth-and-Abundance-Series/Stress-and-Anxiety-About-My-Finances.mp3
 

Some of the other meditations from this category include: Limiting Belief Buster... Money Isn't Spiritual, Debt Support... Too Scared to Look, Clearing the Blocks to Manifesting, and more!

Download The Tapping Solution App and put the “Wealth and Abundance” tapping meditations to work for you to clear out those limiting beliefs and emotions around money.

Go here to download the app now and make sure to let me know about your success stories either by commenting below or by sending me an email at nick@thetappingsolution.com.

 

Until next time...

Keep Tapping!

The Tapping Solution App – Turn Your Day Around: Release Overwhelm

It was a few days before the launch of our new Tapping Solution App...

Years of thinking about it, months of building it, step by step, graphic by graphic, countless hours recording over 100 brand new Tapping meditations...

Would it work? What if we released it and it all crashed? I’ve never launched an app before...

Will Android users still be my friends when they find out we don’t have their version ready yet? (Hahaha! The jury is still out on that question. Lol!)

I was overwhelmed… and when I’m overwhelmed (just like when you’re overwhelmed), my brain doesn’t work as well. I don’t make good decisions. I don’t think clearly. I’m not productive, or happy, or fulfilled.

What was I to do? Was there an answer to this feeling? How could I release this overwhelm?

I wish there was something that could help me when I felt stuck…

I wish there was something that could give me the words and actions to break through this state…

I wish there was something that was easily accessible, short, to the point, powerful…

Oh, thank the heavens above! There is an answer! And I have access to it right now because I made it… hahahaha… The Tapping Solution App!

I kid you not.

In that moment of overwhelm, I opened my own app, pulled up a meditation with my own voice (which usually drives me a little crazy but somehow in the app it doesn’t), and used the “Turn Your Day Around: Release Overwhelm” Tapping Meditation.

And guess what? It worked!

Under 8 minutes long, it was just what I needed to relax, let go, release the overwhelm and turn my day completely around.

I’ve told several people this story and they’ve all comments on how “meta” this experience was.  Meta, defined as, “Referring to itself or to the conventions of its genre; self-referential."

Meaning, I was overwhelmed about the app, so I used the app, my own app, with my own voice, to tap.  Lol!

Anyway - I found this amusing and I hope it helps you understand that we made this app not just for the world, but for ourselves.

Everyone at The Tapping Solution - my sister, brother, all of our amazing team members - all have commented on how much more Tapping they’re doing because of the app.

I am CONVINCED, this app can be transformative in your life, so if you haven’t done so yet, do yourself a favor and download it now.

And Android users, we are working SO hard on your version. Please don’t be mad at me. ☺

I’m sharing the meditation I used, "Turn Your Day Around: Release Overwhelm" below so you can use it now!

How to Heal Your Body with Positive Affirmations and Tapping

Since the publication of her internationally bestselling book "You Can Heal Your Life" in 1984, Louise Hay had been teaching and inspiring millions of people around the world.

Renowned for demonstrating the power of affirmations to bring about positive change, she was the author of more than 30 books for adults and children, as well as the founder of the publishing company Hay House.

She was also my dear friend and mentor.

Louise was a firm believer that all of our physical problems were a result of our thinking. So if we were willing to do the mental and emotional work, anything could be healed. And she showed us this, by living her fullest to the wise age of 91.

She was a living example of her dedicated work, creating a legacy of positivity and inspiration, influencing many to follow a path of helping others, including me.

But she was also a huge proponent of encouraging others to help themselves.

You Can Heal Your Body

Louise knew the secret of the mind-body connection even before it started to become mentioned in more mainstream circles.

I remember her saying that she started with just a little pamphlet that she put together when teaching in small groups that listed some of the most common health issues and how to resolve them using specific affirmations.

That list grew into the book, "Heal Your Body", indexing hundreds of ailments. All you had to do was look up your specific health challenge, read the probable cause for the issue (stemming from a mental or emotional challenge), and apply the corresponding information to overcome it by creating a new thought pattern.

Pretty simple, right? It actually is that easy, except for one thing... US!

Yes, us complicated humans get in our own way, often quitting too soon when we don't see results, doubting we can ever get better, and flat out disbelieving in our own power to heal to even try in the first place.

It's like the solutions to our vibrant health were right there within our grasp, yet so far away.

But then a new technology came along to change all that...

Tapping Clears the Way

You probably already know what this new "technology" is if you're on this blog post reading... Of course, it's Tapping!

I won't go into the whole history of EFT Tapping, but you can read about it here on our Tapping 101 page.

Because our OWN negative and limited thinking would often get in the way of the positive affirmations, or just negate them completely, it was difficult to power through the creation of those positive changes with just our willpower alone.

It took dedication, consistent repetition, and an unyielding desire to keep with those affirmations until they took hold within our minds.

But now with Tapping, here was a tool that could quickly eliminate those mental roadblocks and emotional brick walls that were keeping us stuck.

That's why we almost always start tapping on the "negative" (or what I call the truth) about how we are feeling about any given situation, especially a health challenge.

I'll never forget when I asked Louise (the Queen of Positive Affirmations) about this topic of tapping on the negative. Her iconic reply will forever be engrained in my application of Tapping. She said, "Honey, if you want to clean the house, you have to see the dirt."

WOW! Such a simple phrase, but with such profound implications on how we look at our lives. That was Louise's way. That's why she was so admired and loved by everyone who came across her works.

Combining Tapping with Positive Affirmations

When I was brainstorming about our new Tapping Solution App, I wanted to include Louise's work in some way, because I felt it was important to continue her legacy of helping others.

So here's what I did...

Remember her book that I mentioned above, "Heal Your Body"? For each physical Problem, she included a Probable Cause (mental and/or emotional) plus a Solution (new thought pattern).

So I thought, what if we can combine BOTH Tapping and Positive Affirmations to create a symbiotic powerhouse that encourages your own body to heal! We could tap OUT the negative mental and emotional causes, then tap IN the new positive affirmations that Louise indexes in her book.

And thus the "Heal Your Body" category of our Tapping Solution App was born.

The Tapping Solution App

 

With over two dozen of the most common health issues the majority of us face today, you now have access to this incredibly powerful tool for bringing about that healing in your body you so desire.

Here are just a few of the health issues currently available as tapping meditations on the app:

Allergies • Arthritis • Asthma • Back Problems • High Blood Pressure • High Cholesterol • Cancer • Colds • Diabetes • Headaches • Heart Disease • Neck Problems • Thyroid Issues • Tinnitus • Ulcers • More!

As an added bonus, I'm including the free meditation from this category that comes with your free download of the app.

Heal Your Body: Lower Back Problems

https://tappingsolution.s3.amazonaws.com/APP/Heal-Your-Body-Series/HEAL-YOUR-BODY-SERIES-Lower-Back.mp3
 
Can you imagine yourself healthy, fit, disease-free, living a vibrant and productive life?

If you can imagine it, it can happen for you. These tapping meditations can help.

Download The Tapping Solution App and use some of the “Heal Your Body” tapping meditations, all of which are founded in Louise Hay's intuitive healing knowledge.

We've received such incredible feedback so far on the meditations in this category, and we'll continue to add more as updated versions of the app are released.

I hope this article helped you to understand how inspiring the life of Louise Hay was, and how her work continues through the many millions of those whom she touched.

My husband Lucas and I are thrilled to share that Enzo Martin was born Friday morning October 26th at 8:22 am, weighing 9 lbs 6 ounces and measuring 22 inches tall. We are very much in love with our (not so little) one!

It was a long, tough labor, but I made it through. :)

Turn Your Day Around by Fixing Your Night

About 68% of Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week,
according to a poll by Consumer Reports. That’s roughly 164 million people. Considering good sleep ranks with nutrition and exercise for good health, it’s no surprise that many people look for a quick fix. In 2015 alone, $41 billion was spent on sleeping aids and remedies.

If you struggle with sleep, you’re probably looking for solutions, and you likely want them now (especially if you’re reading this while lying in bed trying to fall asleep!).

In this post, I’ll share some of the most common causes and solutions (many of which work great for simple challenges!). I’ll also detail why the technique known as Tapping has become one of the most effective techniques for overcoming sleep issues, based on years of scientific research, and how you can use it immediately to start sleeping better.

The Issue is More Damaging Than You Think...

Before we get to the solutions, it’s important to understand just how much of an effect the lack of sleep is having on us. Just pushing through our days, thinking we can get by on less sleep, or that there’s nothing we can do about it, often becomes a habit that has more dire consequences than we realize.

Here are 6 serious consequences of not sleeping enough:

About 68% of Americans struggle with sleep at least once a week, according to a poll by Consumer Reports. That’s roughly 164 million people. Considering good sleep ranks with nutrition and exercise for good health, it’s no surprise that many people look for a quick fix. In 2015 alone, $41 billion was spent on sleeping aids and remedies.

---

If you struggle with sleep, you're probably looking for solutions, and you likely want them now (especially if you’re reading this while lying in bed trying to fall asleep!).

In this post, I’ll share some of the most common causes and solutions (many of which work great for simple challenges!). I’ll also detail why the technique known as Tapping has become one of the most effective techniques for overcoming sleep issues, based on years of scientific research, and how you can use it immediately to start sleeping better.

The Issue is More Damaging Than You Think…

Before we get to the solutions, it’s important to understand just how much of an effect the lack of sleep is having on us. Just pushing through our days, thinking we can get by on less sleep, or that there’s nothing we can do about it, often becomes a habit that has more dire consequences than we realize.

Here are 6 serious consequences of not sleeping enough:

1. Shortened life expectancy - An analysis of 16 different studies that covered over 1 million people showed that sleeping less increased risk for death by 12% compared to those that slept 7 to 8 hours a night. (Source)

2. Increased Risk of Accidents - There’s a reason why you see signs on the highways saying that if you’re tired, pull over. You may have even seen awareness campaigns offering free coffee if you pull off an exit. Not sleeping enough impairs your reactions and increases your risk of having a car accident (and other accidents!).

3. Increased Risk of Mental Health Disorders such as depression and anxiety.

4. Increased Risk of Medical Health Conditions - Some of these include obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, inflammation, sensitivity to pain, seizures, asthma attacks, and stroke.

5. Impaired Thinking - Want to be productive in your business or at your job? A lack of sleep can seriously impair your thinking. In fact, it interferes with brain function at a cellular level. A study at UCLA showed that it interferes with the ability of some brain cells to function and communicate with each other. (Source)

6. Lowered Energy Levels - A lack of sleep disrupts hormone levels, including serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol, which has an effect on our mood, thinking, and energy.

The good news is that there are easy and inexpensive ways to get a good night’s sleep. But first, you have to find the root of the issue.

The 4 Most Common Reasons For Why You May Have Trouble Sleeping (And What You Can Do About Them!)

There are a number of reasons why people struggle to sleep, and people often think there is no solution. The four reasons outlined below are the most common.

Reason #1 – Chronic Body Pain

Nothing is more frustrating than wanting to fall asleep, only to have chronic pain keep you awake night after night. The worst part is that it enters a vicious cycle. When you struggle to sleep, you struggle to heal, causing you more pain and more trouble sleeping.

There are a number of psychological techniques that are used to overcome sleep issues related to or caused by pain. They include:

-Deep muscle relaxation

-Visual, sound, or other sensory imagery

-Focusing elsewhere rather than on the pain

-Hypnosis

The challenge with these techniques is that they all involve trying to distance oneself from the physical pain, rather than addressing and releasing it.

Tapping, on the other hand, works on the underlying mental, emotional and energetic causes of pain to release them. It has shown, time after time, to reduce the levels of physical pain in just minutes. And when you can reduce the pain… you can sleep!

It works because of the mind-body connection. I detail much of the scientific research behind why Tapping works for pain relief in my book "The Tapping Solution for Pain Relief".

How to Use Tapping Right Now to Eliminate Physical Pain and Fall Asleep Fast 

If you just want something that you can implement now, I recommend downloading our Tapping Solution App. You can listen to and tap along with one of the “Heal Your Body” tapping meditations, as they can guide you to achieving pain relief in just minutes.

If you’re new to Tapping, the app will teach you how to do it quickly. It’s simple, easy and effective!

DISCLAIMER: Always consult your doctor before starting any new treatment for pain and to find out if there is an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.

Reason #2: Racing Thoughts (a.k.a. stress!)

With all of the constant challenges we have in our modern society, it can be difficult to turn off the thoughts when it’s time for bed. Typically, these thoughts lead to one underlying emotion… stress. Occasional stress can be good for you, but chronic stress can be debilitating. If you have any of these 23 signs, you have far too much stress in your life.

How Stress Affects Your Body and Keeps You Up at Night

Our ancestors relied on stress and the “fight or flight” mechanism in their brain because it pushed them into heightened states that allowed them to move faster and react quicker, literally helping them to survive.

For example, if hunting went awry, and they were face-to-face with a wolf, the flight-or-fight response would activate. It would help them to quickly make a decision about whether they were going to run away or fight the wolf.

As a result, adrenaline would be released, along with cortisol and other hormones. Working together, they activated functions essential for their survival. Their heart rate was increased to quickly pump blood to their muscles. Their breathing quickened to increase their focus by giving their brain more oxygen. In other words, they were primed and ready to go.

In our current day and age, real life or death situations, such as this example of encountering wolves, rarely happen. However, the brain does not distinguish between what is real and what is imagined, and because of the constant stressors in our modern society, our brains are in a constant state of fight or flight.

While there is a laundry list of causes of chronic stress today, some common modern-day situations that trigger stress include:

• Worrying about money and paying the bills
• Conflict with other friends, family members, work colleagues, and others
• Perceived job insecurity
• Raising children
• Health challenges
• And many others!

The problem, of course, is that if you’re in a state of stress, and your fight or flight mechanism is triggered, your body is in a heightened state of awareness, and so falling asleep becomes difficult.

Imagine our caveman ancestors trying to fall asleep with a wolf 20 feet away… it just wouldn’t happen. That’s what happens to you when you have chronic stress!

Fortunately, Tapping has been proven to reduce chronic stress fast.

Research Shows That Tapping Reduces Stress

In a double-blind study conducted by Dawson Church, Ph.D, Tapping was shown to produce, on average, a 24 percent drop in cortisol levels after just one hour of Tapping. Cortisol is often referred to as the “stress hormone” because it is released when we experience stress.

On the other hand, the people in the study who were treated with traditional talk therapy or no treatment at all didn’t experience any significant cortisol reduction. In other words, they were just as stressed at the end of it all, while those who tried tapping walked out with significantly less stress!

How to Use Tapping to Reduce Stress Right Now, to Release the Racing Thoughts and Finally Fall Asleep

If you want to try tapping right now to reduce stress, I recommend downloading our Tapping Solution App. Listen to and tap along with one of the “Emotional Freedom” tapping meditations or the “Sleep Support” tapping meditations, as they can guide you to reducing stress and falling asleep in just minutes.

Reason #3: Issues With Your Sleeping Environment

This issue is probably the easiest to fix, but even when fixed, doesn’t always allow sleep, as oftentimes there are deeper issues, such as the physical pain and stress addressed above. Here are a few common environmental issues and some suggested solutions:

TOO MUCH LIGHT IN THE BEDROOM: Too much light in the room is a common issue that hinders falling asleep and staying asleep.  Remember, our ancestors didn’t have bright alarm clocks, television sets, phones, music systems and other electronics creating light as they tried to sleep. They slept in… the dark! The more light you have in the room, the more trouble your brain will have switching off and falling asleep.

TOO MUCH LIGHT BEFORE BED: Equally important is reducing the amount of light you (and your brain) take in before bed. Blue light reduces the production of melatonin, a hormone that brings on sleep and keeps us there. Reduce the amount of blue light you get in the evening by using free programs such as f.lux to lower blue light from your computer or phone, by using lights in the bedroom with less blue light, and by wearing blue light blocking glasses.

TOO MUCH MORNING LIGHT: Also important is to not allow sunlight in the morning if it is coming up earlier than when you’d like to get up. If it is, get black-out curtains to keep that light out in the morning. Those black-out curtains will also keep moonlight out on those bright full moon nights!

ROOM TEMPERATURE: Once again, remember that our ancestors who passed on their DNA to us lived in an environment where it became colder at night as the sun went down. If your environment is too warm, you may struggle to sleep. Play with different temperature settings to see which helps you to sleep best!

Reason #4: Your Partner

If your partner snores, tosses and turns, or takes up too much of the bed, it can make it difficult to fall asleep or stay asleep. And if they’re fast asleep, it can leave you staring at them in frustration, staring a little too intently at your pillow, wondering what you could do with it. :)

If your partner is keeping you awake because of snoring, first have them see their doctor to find out if they have a medical condition such as sleep apnea, which nearly a quarter of Americans either have or are at high risk of having.

If your partner takes up too much of the bed, talk to them about it and ask them to make a conscious effort to stay on their side of the bed.  The simple act of consciously focusing on it before bed can help them to retrain themselves to sleep in a smaller space.

If you’re not able to change their behavior, the only behavior you can control is your own reaction. Sometimes the frustration of the problem persisting or the anticipation of it happening can keep us awake.

Download The Tapping Solution App and use some of the “Sleep Support” tapping meditations, or the “Emotional Freedom” tapping meditations, such as the “Releasing Anger” one, to release your emotional charge around their behavior to help you fall asleep faster.

Lastly, if your partner is getting up earlier than you, and having their alarm go off, that can interrupt your sleep and make it hard to fall asleep again. One great solution is to have your partner wear a device such as a Fitbit and have the alarm vibrate on their arm, waking them up, but allowing you to sleep!

Tapping Case Study – Cutting Financial Family Ties

Imagine being in a situation where the rug was suddenly pulled out right from under your feet, leaving you in a financial crisis that threatened the livelihood of your family. That's what happened to Teresa Mallon.

Check out her story below, and how she used Tapping to turn her whole situation around!

---

Teresa Mallon, a professional therapist and mother of three teenage boys, found herself in crisis a couple of years ago.

“My ex-husband stopped paying child support and my settlement disappeared. I was terrified, as in, madness kind of terror. I didn’t know what I was going to do to support my family, but I knew I had to do something.”

While searching online, she came across The Tapping Solution for Financial Success and Personal Fulfilment program. She took a deep breath and registered.

“I’m a good therapist, but not a good business person," Teresa explained. “The course had me go deeply into my money story, which was new.”

As she moved through each of the weekly tapping modules, things started to change. A year and a half prior to the course, Teresa had interviewed for a part-time job in a rehab facility. “While I was doing the tapping course, the supervisor from that job called out of the blue and asked if I could start that week.” This helped her increase her income.

“There was something about having a sense of employment that seemed to affect my private practice, which began to grow. In eight months, the rehab position became untenable. I chose to leave it, which was a big deal.”

Teresa’s private practice got so busy that she paid off a $13,000 credit card debt in six months without touching her savings. She remembers the joy and success she felt when posting about it on The Tapping Solution Facebook page. “Everyone got caught up in that joy. There was so much camaraderie. I felt really successful."

Another Challenge Awaited

But last year, Teresa’s worry returned. She had kept her credit card balance at 0, but she also wasn’t saving. So she decided to go through the financial success course again. “The first time I didn’t get through all the modules. This time, I committed to the full 49 days.”

In Teresa’s personal life, her youngest son, Ethan, was the only one of his group of friends who didn't attend a private school, because she couldn’t afford it. He was lonely and unhappy during his first two years.

“As I went through the financial success course, I realized that my son was being economically punished. His dad was not paying, like my dad didn’t. His dad had a huge inheritance but doesn’t share it with his kids. And I felt how unfair that was. I cried for him and I cried for me.”

During one module of the course, Teresa did a lot of tapping on family money blocks. After delving into it, and releasing a lot of old family patterns, she felt confident enough to call the private school and ask about fees. “I never would have done that before the course.”

She called the school and spoke with the registrar. “I told her the whole story about Ethan and then asked what the tuition was. She said it was $12,000 a year. I thought, well, that’s that.”

But then, she asked Teresa for more details about Ethan and Teresa and their family’s situation. “I told her he’d had a speech delay, that he’d been essentially abandoned financially by his dad, how unhappy he was at the state school. She told me she was going to send us a packet and to let me know if we wanted to come take a tour of the school.” Even though Teresa was still unsure, she felt glad she had made the call.

The Cycle Is Broken

Several days later, the registrar called Teresa. She said, “I took your story to the principal and he wants to help. Write a letter and blow Ethan’s trumpet. Include copies of his reports, and we’ll see what we can do.”

Teresa was stunned, and she quickly typed up a letter on the computer. But after sending it to her sister for review, she felt it was too formal, and that she needed to write it from the heart.

So Teresa completely rewrote the letter, in pen and ink, and put it with the packet in the mail.

Once the school received the packet, they set up a meeting with the principal, Teresa, and Ethan. At the end of that meeting, the principal thanked her for her handwritten letter, and told her how touching it was. Then the unimaginable happened.

He told Teresa he could offer Ethan a place at the school for $3,000 a year instead of $12,000. Then, the family of one of Ethan’s friends came forward, telling Teresa that they would give her $2,500 each term toward Ethan’s education!

“The outcome from this incredible story is that Ethan is not being economically punished. The cycle has been broken.”

Now, Ethan is thriving at his new school, and Teresa has fully integrated tapping into both her personal and professional lives.

What’s next for Teresa? “I’d like to write a book about how tapping changed my life. Before tapping, I never would have thought I could do anything like that.”

Tapping Case Study – Finding Personal Fulfilment

Sometimes, what you think you want and you really want are two different things. Getting out of your daily routine can often be the catalyst to finding that personal fulfilment you're seeking, just like Carol experienced below.

---

Last December, Carol Frances was on an eight-week leave from her job after shoulder surgery. While scrolling through her social media feed, she came across a post from The Tapping Solution. “I was bored so I had a look. I did the first meditation on The Tapping Solution site and was blown away.”

Carol very much wanted to do Nick's Financial Success and Personal Fulfillment 7-week course, but felt she couldn’t afford it. “My sister pointed out that I’d taken a crystal workshop, a Reiki training, and a therapy course that were much more expensive, but I’d found a way. I discovered that Nick offered a monthly payment plan, so I gave it a go.”

Carol explains that it was the personal fulfillment aspect of the course that she was interested in more than financial success. She had felt stuck for a long time, and what she actually wanted was to move herself forward into a more fulfilling life.

The first week, to Carol’s surprise, she cried throughout all of her tapping sessions.

“Whatever I tapped on, something would come up, some emotional situation from the past. I was amazed that I had so much anger. I’d done a lot of work on myself over the years. I thought I’d already done a lot of clearing.”

---

These old issues, Carol discovered, were affecting her financial and personal life.

---

During the first week, she was completely overwhelmed with what came out, So she decided to do Week One a second time. By the end, she felt clear and calm.

“I was able to start seeing how I viewed myself, where I am, and the self-imposed obstacles. I saw that I wasn’t being held back, but rather I was holding myself back with my attitude. I didn’t see that before because of my anger. It was quite transformative.”

The second week of the program brought even more insights to Carol.

“We were directed to write down what our goals were. I thought my goals were to were pay off my mortgage, go for a more senior position at work, buy a car, and finish sorting out my aging mom’s finances."

By the end of the second week, she realized those goals weren’t actually what she wanted.

"I decided I wanted to work less, so I dropped some of my hours, which made things easier on me physically. I also realized that being alone in doing my mother’s finances wasn’t because I didn’t have help; it was because I hadn’t asked. Tapping helped me open up and allow help to get my mom sorted more easily.”

After Carol moved to part-time at her job, she assumed she wouldn’t be able to afford a new car, so she put that goal aside. But then, her current vehicle totally broke down, and she had to get a new one anyway.

“I don’t know how I’m doing it. I’ve dropped hours, which means lower wages each month, but I’m not in the red.”

Now Carol taps every morning. “When I am going to work, I get up 15 minutes earlier to meditate. I usually do Jessica’s morning clearing meditation, which keeps me calm while getting to work. Then if I have something that comes up during the day, I tap on it.”

Carol offers this advice for people considering Tapping: “Just try it. It’s so worthwhile. You learn so much about yourself, it helps you deal with stress in your life, and there are just so many benefits."

---

Thank you for sharing your story with us, Carol.

We want everyone to have that same opportunity to experience financial and emotional freedom, so we’ve created a financial success home study course for you called The Tapping Solution for Financial Success and Personal Fulfillment.

And as you can see in Carols's story above, it goes much deeper than just improving your financial situation.

Finding Relief from Chronic Pain

Chronic physical pain impacts over 100 million Americans – and millions more around the world. Why are so many suffering?

Let's first look at some recent research demonstrating the links between stress/emotions and chronic pain...

In a Dutch research study with 121 women, 62 of whom were diagnosed with fibromyalgia (which causes chronic pain), pain was induced in two groups using electrical stimulus, first while recalling an emotionally neutral event, and then while recalling an event that made them feel sad and/or angry. All of the women felt more pain when recalling an event that made them feel sad and/or angry.

In a Stanford University research study, 15 participants were examined via fMRI during the first 9 months of new romantic relationships. All study participants completed 3 tasks while being subjected to moderate to intense thermal pain: (1) viewing a photo of their romantic partner; (2) viewing a picture of an equally attractive familiar acquaintance; (3) doing a word-association distraction task that had previously been shown to reduce pain.

Both the 1st and 3rd tasks reduced pain. But only during the 1st (looking at photo of their partner) did several reward-processing areas of the brain become active, reducing pain in the body.

In a George Washington University research study, lumbar CT scans of 52 patients who reported NO lower back pain were reviewed. The neuroradiologists who looked at the scans had no knowledge of the patients’ clinical histories. Of the entire group, 35.4% demonstrated disc abnormalities, stenosis, and other aging changes. These findings suggest that these physical abnormalities, which are often used to diagnose chronic pain, cannot be conclusively linked to chronic pain.

So what does all this research mean? Temporary pain, or “acute pain”, resulting from an accident, injury, surgery, etc., is a normal, healthy part of the body’s healing process. But why then, for millions of people around the world, does this pain become chronic?

The Science of Chronic Pain

Pain is defined as chronic when it lasts for a period of three months or more. When you feel pain, your body initiates the stress response. Chronic stress also contributes to chronic pain – by making you more prone to accident, injury, weight gain, insomnia, and more.

Chronic stress and chronic pain ARE related, and has been proven in a number scientific experiments and clinical trials. Here’s how stress contributes to chronic pain (and negatively impacts your life, relationships, waistline, and more) in 13 sad steps:

1. You think about a topic that often stresses you out, such as your pain, work, money, relationships, family, or something else.

2. Your amygdala (in your midbrain) senses danger.

3. Your amygdala helps to initiate your body’s fight-or-flight response to stress.

4. In fight-or-flight mode, your body releases adrenaline and the stress hormone cortisol and diverts blood away from your digestive tract, leaving you less able to digest food and absorb nutrients and more likely to gain weight.

5. In this physiological “crisis mode”, your muscles are oxygen deprived, which makes you more vulnerable to pain—from chronic illness, injuries, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, stomach upset, and more.

6. In this state of heightened physiological alert, your brain’s creative center is deemed nonessential and shuts down. Down goes your problem solving, your creative skills, your intuition, your ability to connect with your body.

7. You feel increasingly irritable, isolated, and impatient. Your relationships suffer. Your pain won’t go away.

8. Stress affects your sleep. Your metabolism slows. Your body takes longer to heal.

9. Your body secretes even more cortisol, continuing the cycle of oxygen deprivation that contributes to your pain. It also wreaks more havoc on your digestion (and waistline), increases your blood pressure, and lowers your immune response.

10. After releasing too much cortisol for too long, your body goes into adrenal fatigue. You feel depleted, exhausted, and depressed. Your pain is now chronic.

11. You no longer have the energy to adhere to your exercise routine, your healthy eating, meditation, or yoga. Chronic pain seems to be running your life.

12. Your energy is low, and you have a hard time focusing. Your productivity declines further. Your relationships suffer. You’re still in pain.

13. You are stressed out. You feel depressed. Your muscles are chronically tense and oxygen deprived, making your chronic pain even more intense and more frequent. You need relief from your pain and your stress now!

Achieving Pain Relief

So what are the options available to you for relieving chronic pain?

Well, you could go the traditional route, visiting doctor after doctor, trying to figure out what exactly the problem is. You may get a diagnosis (or several), you'll most likely be prescribed pills or painkillers (many with harmful side effects), and may even be presented with an invasive surgery as the only means of eliminating the pain (which may or may not work).

Or... you can try Tapping! This safe, inexpensive, and effective technique has had incredible results with relieving chronic pain by targeting those emotions and stressors in our lives that are connected to the pain.
