From the Desk of Nick Ortner, New York Times Best-Selling Author of the Book "The Tapping Solution"...

What I'm going to share with you on this page is likely to drastically improve the quality of your life.

You see, when I first learned about EFT, a type of Meridian Tapping, I was so blown away with how effective it was that I absolutely knew I had to find a way to teach others the technique. Over the last 8 years it's been my life's mission to show others how they can quickly learn and use EFT Tapping to make life better in every way possible.

On this page I'm going to share with you everything you need to know to help you use EFT Tapping to get what YOU want out of life! Let's start with the basics...

EFT, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a type of Meridian Tapping that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology with startling results.

From pain relief, to healing childhood traumas, to clearing limiting financial beliefs, to weight loss, body image and food cravings, to fears and phobias, Tapping is proving to be a powerful, well-researched and easy to learn and apply technique.

Tapping utilizes the body's energy meridian points by stimulating them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body's own energy and healing power.

Your body is more powerful than you can imagine… filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing. With Tapping, you can take control of that power.

I'll explain exactly how EFT Tapping works and why it is so effective, but before I do that, check out this video, originally filmed for our 2013 Tapping World Summit, which was attended online by over 500,000 people, for a full explanation, along with a visual demonstration on EFT Tapping...

As Dr. Oz says, "Energy medicine is the future of all medicine. We're beginning now to understand things that we knew in our hearts are true but we could never measure. As we get a better at understanding of how little we know about the body, we begin to realize that the next big frontier in medicine is energy medicine. It's not the mechanistic parts of the joints moving. It's not the chemistry of our body - it's understanding for the first time how energy greatly influences how we feel."

EFT Tapping is already proving to be the next big frontier of not only medicine, but also personal change and growth, and here's why...

Human beings have an intricate energy system that flows throughout the body, something that has only recently been recognized in the West, that controls our physical and emotional health.

The biggest way that we typically feel this is with negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and overwhelm as well as with actual physical pain and disease. And the two are, not suprisingly, very connected.

When we have unresolved emotional problems, whether conscious or unconscious, they manifest themselves into physical symptoms. And when we have physical challenges, they tend to cause further emotional turmoil.

To address these issues, the body's health must be approached as a whole and the root emotional causes must be looked at. You cannot treat the symptoms without addressing the cause, and vice-versa.

The body, like everything in the universe, is composed of energy. Restore balance to the body's energy, and you will mend the negative emotions and physical symptoms that stem from the energy disruption.

Tapping restores the body's energy balance, and negative emotions are conquered.

And negative emotions, previous traumas, and unconscious blocks affect all areas of our lives, not just physical pain.

There's a saying with EFT Tapping to "try it on everything" because it has been shown over and over again to be so effective with so many challenges! Relationships issues, fears, phobias, anxiety, physical pain, weight loss challenges, financial success blocks, and so much more...

And as I'll show you in just a minute, research is showing just how powerful it is.

I'll show you a video demonstration on how to tap below, but here are the basic principles to know:

The basic technique requires you to focus on the negative emotion at hand: a fear or anxiety, a bad memory, or any other aspect around an unresolved problem, or anything that's bothering you.

While maintaining your mental focus on this issue, use your fingertips to tap 5-7 times each on 12 of the body's meridian points. Tapping on these meridian points – while concentrating on accepting and resolving the negative emotion – will access your body's energy, restoring it to a balanced state.

You may be wondering about these meridians. Put simply, energy circulates through your body along a specific network of channels. You can tap into this energy at any point along the system.

This concept comes from the doctrines of traditional Chinese medicine, which referred to the body's energy as "chi." In ancient times, the Chinese discovered 100 meridian points. They also discovered that by stimulating these meridian points, they could heal. Call it energy, call it the Source, call it life force, call it chi… Whatever you want to call it, it works.

In some ways, Tapping is similar to acupuncture. Like Tapping, acupuncture achieves healing through stimulating the body's meridians and energy flow.

However, unlike Tapping, acupuncture involves NO needles! "No needles" is definitely one of the advantages of Tapping. :)

Acupuncture also takes years to master. Acupuncture practitioners must memorize hundreds of meridian points along the body; the knowledge and training take years to acquire.

It's less expensive and less time consuming. It can be used with specific emotional intent towards your own unique life challenges and experiences. Most importantly, it gives you the power to heal yourself, putting control over your destiny back into your own hands.

Like many healing arts that draw upon ancient wisdom, Tapping has been met with a fair share of skepticism.

Many doctors and psychologists have been quick to dismiss it as "woo woo", despite the heaping anecdotal evidence from practitioners and people who have used EFT on their own.

In recent years however, there's been a growing pool of undeniable research that proves what millions of people the world over have known for some time now: that EFT produces real, lasting breakthroughs and significantly improves or even eliminates conditions that hospital treatments, medication and years of psychotherapy often fail to adequately deal with.

Although these studies focused on acupuncture and as such, used needles, follow-up double-blind research revealed that stimulating the points through pressure, as we do in tapping, gave rise to a similar response!

Another exciting set of research was undertaken by Dr. Dawson Church. His team performed a randomized controlled trial to study how an hour-long tapping session would impact the stress levels of 83 subjects.

To do this, Dr. Church and his team measured their level of cortisol, a hormone secreted by the body when it undergoes stress. Their findings? The average level of cortisol reduction was 24%, with a whopping reduction of almost 50% in some subjects! In comparison, there was no significant cortisol reduction in those who underwent an hour of traditional talk therapy.

Dr. Church also created The Stress Project, which teaches tapping to war veterans suffering with PTSD. The results have been astounding: an average 63% decrease in PTSD symptoms after six rounds of tapping. It's mind-blowing and exciting research, which has converted many non-believers in the scientific community along the way. All signs indicate that this trend of revealing research and swayed skeptics will continue as millions of people around the globe continue to discover the power of tapping.

Because of the overwhelming scientific evidence as well as personal experience with the technique, more and more medical doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, personal development experts and others have come out in support of EFT Tapping in recent years.

Here are just a few of those comments:

The list of experts supporting Tapping goes on and on, including experts like Louise Hay, Christiane Northrup, M.D., Joe Vitale, Arielle Ford, Bob Proctor, Lissa Rankin, M.D., Cheryl Richardon and many others.
