Tap away your Anxiety, Health Problems and Pain!

Lately I have been looking for alternative ways to heal my body, instead of taking excessive amounts of medications. I came across a technique called tapping.Tapping provides relief from chronic pain, disorders, addictions, emotional problems, post traumatic stress disorders, phobias and physical diseases.Tapping is a healing that is based on practices in eastern medicine for over five thousand years. Tapping utilize the body's energy meridian points. You stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips, releasing your body's own energy and healing power.Even science is supporting this healing technique  studies done at Harvard university found that the brain's stress and fear response could be lessened by stimulating the meridian point.
As an example of how to perform I have included a basic tapping sequence below from an official tapping website, give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Basic Tapping Sequence for Anxiety

Try it now with this initial sequence. Here's how a basic Tapping sequence works:

• Identify the problem you want to focus on. It can be general anxiety, or it can be a specific situation or issue which causes you to feel anxious.Consider the problem or situation. How do you feel about it right now? Compose your set up statement. Your set up statement should acknowledge the problem you want to deal with, then follow it with an unconditional affirmation of yourself as a person.
  "Even though I feel this anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself.
  "Even though I panic when I think about ____,I deeply and completely accept myself. "

• Perform the set up. With four fingers on one hand, tap the Karate Chop point on your other hand. The Karate Chop point is on the outer edge of the hand, on the opposite side from the thumb.Repeat the set up statement three times aloud, while simultaneously tapping the Karate Chop point. Now take a deep breath!
  Get ready to begin tapping! Here are some tips to help you achieve the right technique.

• You should use a firm but gentle pressure, as if you were drumming on the side of your desk or testing a melon for ripeness.
• You can use all four fingers, or just the first two (the index and middle fingers). Four fingers are generally used on the top of the head, the collarbone, under the arm... wider areas. On sensitive areas, like around the eyes, you can use just two.
• Tap with your fingertips, not your fingernails. The sound will be round and mellow.
• The tapping order begins at the top and works down. You can end by returning to the top of the head, to complete the loop.

Now, tap 5-7 times each on the remaining eight points in the following sequence:

Head (TH)
The crown, center and top of the head. Tap with all four fingers on both hands.

Eyebrow (EB)
The inner edges of the eyebrows, closest to the bridge of the nose. Use two fingers.

Side of eye (SE)
The hard area between the eye and the temple. Use two fingers. Feel out this area gently so you don't poke yourself in the eye!

Under eye (UE)
The hard area under the eye, that merges with the cheekbone. Use two fingers, in line beneath the pupil.

Under nose (UN)
The point centered between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip. Use two fingers.

Chin (CP)
This point is right beneath the previous one, and is centered between the bottom of the lower lip and the chin.

Collarbone (CB)
Tap just below the hard ridge of your collarbone with four fingers.

Underarm (UA)
On your side, about four inches beneath the armpit. Use four fingers.

Head (TH)
And back where you started, to complete the sequence.

As you tap on each point, repeat a simple reminder phrase, such as "my anxiety" 

Now take another deep breath!

• Now that you've completed the sequence, focus on your problem again. How intense is the anxiety now, in comparison to a few minutes ago?
