Thank you for another amazing Summit!

I gotta admit, I'm pretty beat!

But it's the good kind of tired you feel after a long day of rewarding work.

Well, more like a long couple of months…

Because you see, even though the Summit itself only runs for 10 days, it takes months and months of planning and preparation not just from me, but from our incredible team of 15 that works tirelessly to make it all go smoothly.

(So I'm giving them a surprise couple of days off to recuperate! They've earned it!)

Anyway - I just want to say thank YOU for another amazing Summit!

We raised $75,000 for The Tapping Solution Foundation. We had over 784,000 UNIQUE visitors from nearly EVERY country around the world (including ones like Samoa, Madagascar, Paraguay, Laos, Belarus, and Yemen... just to name a few) and the results people experienced were mind blowing, as usual!

Truly, a Tapping WORLD Summit indeed!

If you have a second, would you leave a comment below and let me know how the Summit was for you?

Long or short, I'd just love to hear what you thought, and I know my team would too.

I'll be back soon with more great stuff. Until then, I hear someone calling me...

The building you see through the window is my writing/filming/working barn and it looks like my daughter June wants me to come inside...  :)

Until next time…

Keep Tapping!

Best. Wedding. EVER!

As many of you know, I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and moved to the U.S. when I was 7 years old (thus no accent when I speak!).

My younger brother Alex was 4 and baby sis Jess was just a year old.  We’ve lived here ever since, with the majority of our extended family still in Argentina.

I’ve been able to go back every 3-4 years to visit, but Jess has made a much better effort and gone back almost every year, especially the last decade or so.  I think this was largely because a part of her knew one day she would marry... a fellow Argentine!  So she knew she had to find him and keep her Spanish up to speed!  LOL! (Though they found each other in California... oh, it’s all a long story for another day!)

Because Jess married an Argentine, and has been to a few weddings in Argentina herself, several Argentine traditions were central to Jess’ wedding reception.  I think they are simply wonderful, and you might want to know about them.  I’m sharing them with everyone I know who has a wedding coming up, because they are so so great!

The key ingredient to the whole wedding being spectacular was the joy and love that Lucas and Jess emanate.  You have to get that right FIRST.  But after that, here are some fun things to try:

1. The Waltz

The Waltz is an Argentine tradition where the bride and groom get to dance with (almost!) everyone at the party.  Traditionally, the bride and groom begin to dance together to a waltz, then the parents cut in, then the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends.  Once you finish dancing with the groom or bride, you stay on the dance floor and dance with your partner.  It builds beautifully, and there’s something so special about “cutting in” and asking to dance with the bride (for men).  I know I found it to be a special moment when I cut in and danced with my beautiful sister.

2. The Cotillion

Near the end of the night, a bag is placed on the table filled with masks, funny hats, necklaces, and silly things that light up.  This is called “cotillion”.  Just think of it as a little bit of Mardi Gras at the end of the wedding.  It was an absolute riot and brought a new surge of energy, dancing, and laughter to the wedding.

3. The Group Picture

At the end of the wedding, when everyone is dressed up and having a blast, they all pile in for a group photo.  As you can imagine, it leads to quite a memorable pic!  Simple but fun!

I couldn’t be happier for Jessica, for her husband Lucas, and for all the joy and love they bring to each other and the world!

Here are a few more stunning pics from her wedding.  Enjoy!

The Power of a Pose – What Your Body Language Says About You

Did you know that recent research has uncovered that your body language can help you become happier and more successful?

Even the good ol', "sit up straight” advice has measurable impact on your feelings, actions, and even hormones in your body.

Want to know how to “pose”? Think expansive. Open chest, shoulders back, and down (comfortable, not unnatural). Raise your arms in the air, and hold it for a few seconds.

You can literally feel the power and energy!

The opposite are poses we often find ourselves doing without our conscious attention - hunched over and drawn-in, arms crossed, and slouching.

So today, take a few moments throughout the day to notice your body language, and think, “open” just a little bit more, and see what happens.

If you’re in the midst of doing some tapping or meditating, pay particular attention to your body language to accentuate the results and effects.

Until next time...

What are you reading? (My book recommendations)

I was talking to a friend the other day who shyly admitted that he hadn’t read a full book in over a year. And the reason he was shy about it was because he had been a lifelong reader and had seen the difference it had made in his life.

But there’s definitely something happening with the easy access to our phones and all of the other distractions that are reducing the amount of reading many of us are doing.

I’ve seen it personally, and I think it’s a problem. :)

Books are different than online content. They’re thoughtful, curated, and edited. They let you pause and think. They don’t come with a bunch of negative comments attached to the bottom of every thought.

So one of my New Year’s resolutions is to increase the amount of reading I do, and I’d like to challenge you to do the same.

To hopefully get you started, here are some of the books that I’m currently reading. I’m a five-books-at-a-time kind of guy, jumping between whatever I’m in the mood for. My wife is the opposite. She reads one book start to finish no matter what. :)

Nick's Nonfiction Book Recommendations

Making Life Easy: A Simple Guide to a Divinely Inspired Life – by Christiane Northrup

One of the most amazing things about my work is how I get to interact with some of my favorite authors. So spending a day with Christiane during my sister’s wedding in Mexico, and then reading her book, is about as cool as it gets. :)

This is a beautiful book - a departure from her previous, more medical work. And I just love it! Here’s a couple of bullet points about what the book promises, to give you a better idea of how great it is.

Take your well-being into your own hands as you learn to:

• Untie the knots of blame and guilt that harm your health
• Use sexual energy consciously to increase vitality
• Balance your microbiome through healthy eating
• Cultivate a healthy ego that serves you (not vice versa)
• Communicate directly with the Divine

Ask and It Is Given - by Abraham-Hicks

Last week I shared a video by Abraham and spoke about how often I go back to this material. I believe one of the keys to success in any aspect of your life is to continue to revisit material to help it sink in even further.

That’s why I’ve seen people who go through the whole Tapping World Summit (or one of our online programs) several times, get the best results. It’s the same with this great book. (BTW… since many of you have been asking… our NINTH(!) annual Tapping World Summit will be starting it’s pre-launch on February 6th. Stay tuned!)

The Tapping Solution for Manifesting Your Greatest Self – by... ME!

Ok, this isn’t a real one because I’ve been reading it again and again for editing purposes. It’s due out Fall of 2017, so you’ll just have to be patient on this one. :)

Tools of Titans - by Tim Ferris
This is a massive book. It covers, as the subtitle says, “The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers”. I don’t know Tim personally, though we have several close mutual friends. But I’ve been massively impressed with his work over the past decade and I love this book. If you’re looking to upgrade your performance in any aspect of life, this tome is for you.

My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread and the Search for Peace of Mind - by Scott Stossel
While I definitely wish the author had explored EFT Tapping in the book, it’s a wonderful book about his experience and the history of treating anxiety. More than anything, through his delicate and vulnerable writing, I felt such compassion for him and those who have experienced crippling anxiety. It’s a great read if you’ve struggled with anxiety, or if you’re a practitioner or coach.

The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting - by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Jason Fung
Fasting in various forms has been a part of my life for over a decade. In fact, I came up with the idea to make The Tapping Solution documentary film on day 5 of a fast. I’ve found it to be a real miracle on so many levels, and this book does a great job of laying out all the recent science and research behind it, as well as giving you simple plans to try it. Read it, try fasting (safely and under doctor’s supervision) and let me know how it helps you.

And here are three fiction titles to have some fun with!

The Whistler - by John Grisham.  My father-in-law just gave me this book while on vacation. A perfect book for the beach. Classic Grisham page turner.

The Way of Kings - by Brandon Sanderson. If you love fantasy, then you know the name Brandon Sanderson. This book and others in the trilogy are fantastic. I also love his “Mistborn” series.

The Fall of Giants - by Ken Follett (The Century Trilogy Book 1).  Better set aside a year to get through this amazing, expansive, historical epic. He brings history to life like no one else!

There you go!

Plenty to keep you busy for the next day, week, month, or year. :)

Until next time…

Keep Tapping! (and reading)

A Mother’s Story of Overcoming Fear and Shame…

On a daily basis, I get emails with simply stunning stories of people turning their lives around with Tapping.

I personally have to be careful of not taking them for granted since there are so many, and because each and every one of them is a miracle.

Here’s one we had the fortune of documenting in a moving video.  It's a mother’s story of overcoming fear and shame, and how the Tapping World Summit changed everything for her.

Watch this inspiring short video now!

By the way, we’re less than 2 weeks away from the pre-launch of our 9th (I can’t believe it’s been 9 years!) annual Tapping World Summit.

Once again, we have all-new, cutting-edge content for you...

And it's ALL available to you for free!

Everything is always working out

One of my greatest personal influences over the past decade has been the work of Jerry and Esther Hicks, through their “Abraham-Hicks” material.

I’ve seen a clear-cut correlation in my life: The more I listen to them, the happier I am, and the more “everything is always working out for me”.

Like any material, I go through stages of diving into it, and every time I focus back in, I say to myself, “Man, this works!”

It’s also a fantastic supplement to Tapping, because Tapping helps to release those negative emotions in order to achieve the positive vibration of being in your vortex that Abraham speaks about and encourages.

I challenge you to watch this short 13-minute video of their material and tell me you don’t feel amazing afterwards!

A special thanks to my dear friend Cheryl Richardson for pointing me to this video a few months back. :)

Watch it now and raise your happiness levels 837% (scientifically proven… LOL!)

EVERYBODY is doing this…

[caption id="attachment_5891" align="alignright" width="250"] "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." - Aesop[/caption]

What’s everyone doing?

They’re doing the best they can with the resources they have.

Yup, even the people that drive you nuts.  Even the people causing damage to the world.  It’s an inarguable fact.

They’re doing what THEY think is right, based on their life experiences...

Based on their own pains, hurts, and traumas... their own limiting beliefs and limited world view.

That grumpy person on the plane, that rude person in line, they’re doing the best they can, truly.

Why is knowing this SO important?

Because when you recognize that everyone is just doing the best they can, it brings out the kindness in your heart.

The compassion.

Understanding.

And from THAT place, change happens.

Because instead of you responding to that grumpy person with more grump, and confirming THEIR belief that the world is a harsh, grumpy place, you respond with a smile.  And you begin to crack open their heart.  You begin to crack open their view of the world.  You begin to help them heal.

Someone today is likely to frustrate, disappoint, annoy, anger, yada yada… YOU.

They’re doing the best they can with the resources they have.

LOVE THEM.

Until next time...

Keep Tapping!

Nick
