P.S: And you need very short finger nails around the eyes lest you tap the nerves and muscles surrounding the eyes with your fingernails

Tapping works! It is simple ... it is effective ... it is real!

Start tapping and change your life.

Thank you, Kenrick, for 'mainstreaming' tapping ...

All the best!

One should approach this as anything else in life, with an open mind. A two dimensional attitude will usually result in two dimensional results... I'm right, you're wrong. Tapping, like most practices that require a person to turn inward usually requires that they are open to a change, and leave something behind. In that same light, when one leaves something behind, it is usually replaced with what was not there before.

This reminds of a story on a Tony Robbins CD where he describes a therapist's use of "temporal tapping" on national TV to cure a snake phobia (i.e. tapping the temple of a person while they thought of a particular subject that caused them fear, concern, etc.).

The takeaway from TR's story was that temporal tapping was nothing more than a "pattern interrupt". Additionally, he added that it didn't really work given that the subject needed to have two conditions met for it to actually have lasting change:

1. There had to be a will to change by the subject
2. There had to be something that replaced the old habit, pattern, etc.

I love a phrase TR used on a different occasion that says: "You never STOP doing something, you only START doing something else."

So, keep in mind that however great a technique might sound, deep change does not come from a magical tapping sequence...it comes from the mind being ready to change and from an effective pattern interrupt and substitute strategy.

I've been using tapping increasingly for myself, my family and my psychotherapy clients over the past couple years (lately much more so). Though initially skeptical as well, I now have great trust in this technique to remove even chronic problems. The most incredible cases have been relief of physical symptoms (since it is less subjective and easy to verify the results) - including migraines, urinary retention problems, stomach aches, back pain and acne (serious acne!). And it works great with emotional traumas and memories too - almost instantly in most cases.

Call it magical if you want. Or pattern interruption. I've stopped trying to analyze how it works - I just know that it does. I find it works even with people who are very cynical about it. But I do agree, there needs to be a willingness to let something go. As for replacing it with something else? How about replacing it with the feeling of well-being that is there after a successful round of taps? That seems enough in my experience.
