The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living

One of these days I will actually start LISTENING to what the Universe is trying to tell me! A few years ago I kept hearing about tapping. I didn't look into it though, and just passively heard tidbits about it here and there. Recently, though, the subject kept showing up IN MY FACE. I heard about it EVERYWHERE. I felt really intrigued by the idea, and synchronistically had been looking for ways to relieve stress in my life. I begrudgingly decided to give it a try and ordered this book from Nick Ortner.Thank goodness the Universe is patient, because this book BLEW ME AWAY! I did not expect it to be this way at all. I thought it was going to be another book about some scientific stuff that, honestly, doesn't really interest me. Still, I was willing to give it a try. While the scientific stuff is in there, it is, at its core, a book about PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION. The tool of tapping works on many levels, and as I read through the book, found ample opportunities to practice the technique. The first time I tried it in the early parts of the book I thought, "how am I ever going to remember all these steps?" I kept going though, and within the first couple of chapters, I found myself tapping independently, at random times during the day, with EASE! Once you do them a few times, the tapping points and statement guidelines are actually not difficult at all and just naturally stick in your mind. I did NOT have to work hard at all to benefit from the practices in this book!As a spiritual junkie, I prefer self-help books to cater to that desire in me. I did not expect this book to be spiritual at all; boy was I wrong! It is deeply spiritual in a very natural, nonthreatening way. As I progressed through the book and continued practicing tapping on my own, I found that tapping is an extremely intuitive process that helps us to release blocks. These blocks keep us from hearing our Internal Guidance (aka intuition/ God/ Spirit/ angels/ Higher Self), and therefore keep us feeling stuck and alone. Each time I tap on an issue, it clears away some of that stuck emotion and I'm able to hear that internal whisper again.I am a busy mom with a gaggle of young children. As much as I would dearly love to spend endless hours each day, blissed out on my meditation pillow, that is simply not a reality in my life right now. What I found with tapping, though, is that it is SO quick, effective, and easy, that I am using it ALL THE TIME! I don't have to be alone to do it. I don't have to wait until my children are sleeping or quiet. I don't have to set aside a large chunk of time. This is, perhaps, my favorite thing about this tool: its incredible accessibility! No matter how busy I am or how chaotic my life, tapping is available IN THE MOMENT. When I take a few minutes to do it, I feel more peaceful. EVERY TIME. WITHOUT FAIL. That is more than I can say for many other techniques I have tried!Before I read this book, I was resistant to tapping because I didn't want yet another practice that promised to ease the stress in my life, but that I didn't have time for. I have a pile of discarded books already that, while lovely to read, are not practical for a mom on the go. And with each book I discarded, I'd feel more disappointment and a growing sense of hopelessness. THIS BOOK IS NOT LIKE THAT! I started using the technique immediately, and the results were SO immediately effective that I find myself using it all the time throughout the day.I am just at the beginning of this tapping journey, but I'm already feeling so grateful to have this practice in my life. It has helped me to find peace in my daily life. That alone is worth its weight in gold!

Excellent book!I discovered EFT/tapping over a year ago and used the technique very rarely and without much seriousness. However I have always kept it filed under "Things that do work but I'm not enlightened enough to trust it to solve any deep seated problems" in my mind.On my path of growing as a human being and reprogramming and replacing my subconscious mind with the help of many fantastic books, I can say that you do NOT need this book to actually learn how to tap. That can be achieved by simply searching 'EFT' or 'tapping' on YouTube. That is the beauty in EFT tapping. It's not exclusive, it's free, it's easy to learn, quick to learn, readily available and it WORKS.I have let go of some SERIOUS pain regarding a parent through tapping recently. Pain that was controlling my life and every self-limiting belief I had for over 15 years. It's just gone...I feel love and compassion instead of anger, fear, disdain and sadness. I've gone to years of therapy and while I believe therapy is a great help, it couldn't do what tapping did for my heavy heavy issue.I am SO happy I bought this book though I have learned through YouTube how to tap and what to say, Nicks writing is so easily understood and he provides TONS of information about the subconscious mind. Information that was spread out in multiple books that I've read, yet it's all in here! It's so important to realize anything you feel and believe about yourself stems from subconscious programming from childhood and that it CAN be changed.I love the different tapping scripts and the way Nick stresses the importance if letting your emotions guide "what to say" when talking. There is no set script for any issue and it's supposed to be as specific as you need it to be.EFT is an incredible technique that will change your life aside from any book written about it. But this is a Great book to learn about it and your subconscious mind.
