Have you ever heard of the technique of "Tapping"? If not, you will understand the basic premise behind this rather unique and cool concept. If done correctly, "Tapping" will help you with so many issues that are causing you undue stress. There are nine points on the body that will release cortisol (the stress hormone) and "Tapping" helps you get there. Name any issue and learning this simple technique will do wonders in your life. You will, indeed, feel so good! Keep "Tapping"! Tapping 101 - Learn the basic concept: https://www.thetappingsolution.com/tapping-101/ Transform Your Emotions with Energy Tapping (a pdf guide): https://media.thrivingnow.com/tapping/thrivingnow-Energy-Tapping-EFT.pdf Chart of points on the body to tap: https://tappingsolution.s3.amazonaws.com/Tapping-Solution-TappingPoints.pdf *And no matter what, always remember what I've always said about this world, "Everything has to do with Everything." The simplest innocuous activity you do will affect another person, and maybe that other person is across the street, in another city, on the other side of the globe, OR not even born yet. The implications of your actions weigh heavy on you. Do your very own seven-day challenge. The number seven is great for attracting things to you! 1. Think of seven actions you can take and do that action for seven minutes/days/weeks. The more you involve the number seven the better it gets. 2. Make an affirmation whether it be a word or a sentence that's positive and write that affirmation seven times a day for seven days. 3. Sit quietly for seven minutes (set your timer) and think of what you want and/or how you see yourself in this world receiving what you want, pretending that you already have it. Make sure it's a good thing. Do this for seven days. 4. Do a creative and exciting action that is going to move you closer to your goal. For me, I want to be a successful podcaster in my genre so I will do an episode every day for seven days. 5. Make it fun and not a chore. Involve the number seven as much as you can because the number seven invokes that great law of the universe, The Law of Attraction. The Number 7 - Gail Minogue (YouTube Video) - https://youtu.be/icS6nrl1zII This technique and all the topics I talk about take tenacity and a desire to see yourself living your best life right now and that is exactly what will make great things happen. Whatever you do, don't give up and always believe that the impossible is not impossible. It is only your thinking that makes it so. To have a more productive life in this ever-changing world listen to this episode. Get your dreams, desires, and results that you want. It's easy once you have the 411.

about fifteen minutes, relax, enjoy this episode on tapping the

18
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:14.200
emotional freedom technique. What is that you're going to find

19
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.359
out right now, But before we begin, there's a story.

20
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.159
You know, when I was a kid and would be

21
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.640
suffering with any kind of pain, I would complain endlessly.

22
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:29.200
My mother would always say to me, don't just sit there,

23
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:35.000
do something anything. Of course, she was talking about taking

24
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.560
some sort of action to alleviate the pain and discomfort

25
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:42.079
I was feeling. I knew that, whether it be a

26
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.079
headache that needed some aspirin, or a stretch to get

27
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.959
a kink out of my back, or a stretching exercise

28
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:53.560
if my muscles felt sore. I always remember my mother

29
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:58.599
saying those words, do something indicating, don't complain about it,

30
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:03.920
do anything but complain. Complaining will get you nowhere. She

31
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.799
drilled that thought into my head. It is how I

32
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.599
feel today. As I have gotten older, I have learned

33
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.080
that I am in charge of my health, feeling healthy,

34
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.280
being healthy, looking healthy, because that's what makes me feel good.

35
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:25.479
And now I believe more than ever in holistic remedies

36
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.680
rather than prescriptions and medications and potions and lotions given

37
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.560
by my doctor. This includes anything I can do on

38
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:39.400
my own to feel at ease. The caveat is that

39
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.199
we have to want to feel better. We have to

40
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.360
want to feel better. That means to not be a

41
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:52.639
victim to our uneasy and ailing circumstances. Who wants that.

42
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:58.199
Some people call this quote unquote self love. Hmm. If

43
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.520
it sounds like I'm un enthusias asked about those words,

44
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:06.240
I am. Perhaps it's an age thing, but that sounds

45
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:12.840
a bit unsettling and inappropriate and kind of dirty, regardless

46
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:18.000
of it being in the dictionary and having a legitimate meaning. Well,

47
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:23.120
here's the definition of self love and dictionary dot com.

48
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.800
The instinct by which one's actions are directed to the

49
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:33.360
promotion of one's own welfare or wellbeing, especially in an

50
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:39.400
excessive regard for one's own advantage. I prefer a different

51
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.840
definition that fits into what my goals really are, So

52
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:50.240
I will ask you, how about the definition of self care. Well,

53
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.319
in dictionary dot com it has a much better meaning

54
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680
for me, which is the act of attending to one's

55
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:03.680
physical or mental health without medical or other professional consultation. Yes,

56
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.800
the products or practices used to comfort or soothe oneself,

57
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.719
and I put in here such as meditation, taking a

58
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.279
hot bath, reading a short story before bed to relax,

59
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.959
et cetera, et cetera. While it all sounds so good

60
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.199
that self care and it is thought and I do

61
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.800
understand a huge part of what is considered self care

62
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:36.560
may be meditation. You know, meditation is mostly misunderstood and

63
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.759
complicated to achieve for some people. Yes, and it is

64
00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:46.040
because of the lack of true understanding of what meditation

65
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.000
is and how to achieve a meditative state. I was

66
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.079
listening to the Headspace podcast and the host Andy Puttacombe

67
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.800
mentioned starting to feel a sense of calm with meditation.

68
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.160
As the story goes, he he was helping a client

69
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:05.639
learn about meditation. When the client met with Andy after

70
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.279
a week, he said, instead of contemplation and quieting the mind,

71
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.600
he had the extremely joyous thought of making coffee in

72
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.360
the morning. In response, Andy said, as long as it

73
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.120
brought his client a sense of well being, it was

74
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:28.040
indeed a very good thing and it was meditative. So

75
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.680
now let's go back to my mother's advice of do

76
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.079
something anything is better than nothing, and we all know

77
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:40.680
that's true. We are all looking to feel better in

78
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.800
our daily existence. For a while there, my feel good

79
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:50.879
moments were all around shopping online. I would shop for clothes, shoes, boots,

80
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:56.800
household goods, electronics. But we can't always do that, especially lately,

81
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.720
Looking to the outside world is almost never the answer. Rather,

82
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.079
we can and will be looking to our inside feelings

83
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.079
and thoughts, and as we slowly change these thoughts to

84
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.319
be more positive, we will produce better results and a

85
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.920
better life as a result. So now I ask you,

86
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.879
if you have something that isn't quite right in your life,

87
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:29.120
what do you do? You must do something right? Well.

88
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.240
Ralph Waldo Emerson called it the law of laws, and

89
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.480
it is my favorite law of all the laws, the

90
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.519
natural law of the universe, the law of cause and effect.

91
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.480
What we do on the inside, using our mental capabilities,

92
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.199
our mind will and does manifest on the outside. And

93
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:56.040
so it is. So now here's the real question. Have

94
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.639
you tried the technique of e FT tapping? I can

95
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.399
now hear some of you say, what in the heck

96
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.680
is that? Well, from the Thriving Now website, there's this

97
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.000
energy tapping, also called emotional freedom techniques or EFT, can

98
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:22.120
bring you quick, effective relief from stress, anxiety, overwhelm pain, suffering,

99
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.959
distressing thoughts, disturbing memories, and limiting beliefs. It can help

100
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:33.120
you connect with your inner power and transform procrastination and

101
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:37.360
frustration so you can achieve your dreams. And that's a

102
00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:40.519
great thing, and that's what we want to do. Tapping

103
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:47.720
can remove the blocks to abundance, love, and vitality. Tapping

104
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.360
is a simple and easy to use process where you

105
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.319
tune into your body in your mind, speak a truth

106
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:59.079
about how you feel right now, and choose how you'd

107
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.759
like to all while tapping on specific natural comfort points.

108
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.519
This unique combination helps you shift your physical and emotional

109
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:17.360
energy in the direction of relief towards feeling really, really

110
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:21.720
good and isn't that how we want to feel? From

111
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:26.279
the Tapping Solution website, I find this tapping is a

112
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.680
powerful stress relief technique. Tapping is based on the combined

113
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:36.679
principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. Studies have

114
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:41.080
shown that tapping decreases cortisol, often called the stress hormone.

115
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.879
The World Health Organization or the WHO, has announced that

116
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.200
stress is the health epidemic of the twenty first century.

117
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.399
This is because stress is linked to anxiety, weight gain,

118
00:08:53.799 --> 00:09:00.159
sleep problems, lack of motivation, chronic pain, stomach issues, and

119
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.320
you guessed it, depression. Tapping is proven to reduce stress,

120
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:11.559
lower cortisol, improve sleep, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, increase productivity,

121
00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:16.080
and so much more. Stress is also detrimental to your

122
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:21.759
immune system because when you're stressed, your immune system's ability

123
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:25.440
to fight off antigens is reduced, and you are more

124
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:30.639
susceptible to infections. So tapping helps to lower stress and

125
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:34.559
in turn allows your immune system to do its work,

126
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:39.039
and that is exactly what we want to do. If

127
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:42.919
you touch the body with attentive fingers and pay close

128
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.720
attention to the sensations, you will notice that there are

129
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.399
points on the body that naturally attract your attention. These

130
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.519
points feel different, and if you rub them or tap

131
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:59.279
on them, they stimulate a healing response. Pain is relieved.

132
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.639
We feel so much better. So there are eight points

133
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:08.120
of tapping to be aware of the karai chop part

134
00:10:08.200 --> 00:10:12.399
of the hand, between the eyebrow, the side of the eye,

135
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.000
under the eye, under the nose, under the mouth, under

136
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:23.120
the arm, and top of the head. So through tapping,

137
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:29.080
my problems don't seem as severe and they even seem manageable.

138
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.039
Utilizing these points is part of the ancient medicinal history

139
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:41.120
of so many societies, cultures, and of course traditional Chinese medicine,

140
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:46.200
which has indeed helped thousands of people all over the world.

141
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.679
You know it's true. So if you, like me, have

142
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:57.840
problems that seem insurmountable and unsolvable. Then you must listen

143
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.840
to my mother who knew best when she told me

144
00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:06.200
to don't just sit there, do something. Tapping is just

145
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.600
one way, just one way to take charge of your life,

146
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.679
feel instantly better and move ahead to be more productive,

147
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:19.679
more healthy with the activities that you really want to

148
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:24.720
spend time doing. Hey, if you've enjoyed this episode, that's great.
