By no means am I going to give you the false impression that I’m well-versed in the world of meditation and already know everything about tapping, because I certainly don’t. I know of tapping, and have a basic premise of what it does, but for the sake of composing an entire post on the matter, I thought I would check in with my friend Google to find some valid and trustworthy information pertaining to tapping.
Tapping meditation, according to thekimfoundation.org, “… is a form of meditation which involves tapping specific points on the body, focusing on the head and the face, in a sequence. It is referred to has Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is often referred to as an alternative therapy for anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other conditions.
“This form of meditation involves the body’s energy meridian points, like acupuncture and acupressure. Tapping on certain meridian points with the fingertips can restore the balance of energy to resolve physical and emotional issues. As you tap, the goal is to mentally ‘tune in’ to the specific issues you wish to address. A 2019 review found that the practice helped reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you are interested in trying this form of meditation, follow these steps:
“1. Identify the issue. Focus on one problem you wish to resolve.
“2. Test the initial intensity. Rank the issue you wish to work on. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst the issue has ever been. This ranking system allows you to assess the effectiveness of the tapping at the end of the practice.
“3. Choose an affirmation. Before you begin, you need to establish a phrase that explains what you are trying to address. In this step you want to focus on acknowledging the issues and accepting yourself despite the problem. For example, ‘even though I have this [fear or problem], I deeply and completely accept myself.’
“4. EFT Tapping Sequence. During this step tap on specific points of your body while repeating the phrase you have chosen. Follow the tapping points in sequence.
“5. Test the intensity. Rank the intensity of the issue on a scale of 0-10. Repeat the process of tapping until your intensity reaches 0. Ideally, each time you follow the tapping point sequence the intensity should decrease.
“Tapping is a simple and easy alternative to help calm the nervous system. If you are feeling stressed out or are just looking for something new to try, consider tapping,” the web page explains.
Perhaps tapping meditation would be a beneficial practice for a lot of us to try.
