Tapping Information
Tapping How-To:
You don’t have to be perfect with this. Focus on the correct locations. You can follow me for the process. See more in the tips session below.
Tapping Tips
The chart is for reference. I do want you to tap in the correct locations but you’ll discover along the way the the order can be different and often we’ll leave out points or focus on other points. Tapping is a flexible system. Each point is on a meridian. These are places an acupuncturist might place needles. If you look around YouTube for tapping practitioners you’ll see variety in the order of these points and some include more or fewer points. It all works! So, you can simply watch me and do what I do in the video.
If you want to do tapping outside of class on other issues check out The Tapping Solution online, on YouTube, and they have a great app. Or check out Brad Yates on YouTube. Brad has hundreds of videos on hundreds of issues.
**When following these videos, make the words fit your feelings. For instance, if he say “I’m mad” but you feel rage or indignant, then say that. The more specific it is to you the deeper it will clear. There is also much benefit to be gained from just doing what they do while thinking about your issue. It’s called borrowing benefits. This is why group tapping can be so powerful.
Bottom line…don’t sweat about the tapping. Follow me and it will work.

Class 5 Video: Power & Rage
Anger is a natural energy activated by unfairness and/or fear. When processed and used as a messenger, it can guide you into empowered leadership energy with clarity and courage to act. From a place of consciousness, anger can be used in healthy and productive ways.
Homework: 1) Tap & Rant – tap while ranting about whatever has irritated, hurt, offended, or angered you. Go over the top with the language to help whatever angry energy might be hiding in there to arise so you can move it. When it calms down, you should have more clarity about what it’s about and what you may need to do if anything. Think about, “what do I want instead in this situation?”
2) Write a list of statements…. “I want _________.” These can become affirmations. You can “tap them in” by doing tapping as you say them. The tapping releases any resistance that might be hiding in the cracks that you may not even be aware of. You can add, “and I say yes to this!” after each “I want” or interspersed.
Class 6: Raw Life-force Energy
Homework: Get in touch with your bad self!! Dance and strut. Tap on anything that doesn’t feel totally sexy! Love yourself. Act like it. Share it. Change the world!
Level 3: Third Chakra
Class 7: Anger, Boundaries, and Clearing Hidden Agendas
Anger signals us about things that feel like a violation and unjust. It is important that we honor our real feelings. We don’t want to rage on people with it but we also need to heed the self-affirming message in it. When we give voice to our genuine feelings, including anger, then we can shift it. We honor, heed the message, shift it, and then take any appropriate needed steps to deal with it.
If guilt arises, see it as a distraction from owning your feelings at first. Whatever you did, does not negate your feelings in reaction to the other person. Inhabit your anger, voice it, and tap until it calms. After that, take a look at your behavior too. Voice and tap on anything that elicits guilt, regret, or grief. Your bad behavior does not excuse their bad behavior. Also bring compassion to the whole situation. It’s easy to judge yourself when you’re not in the thick of it.
When a terrified dog is backed into a corner fearful of being hurt, it will bite. It’s not a bad dog, just a scared one.
Homework:
Don’t start with your hardest person or situation! There’s a good chance you’ll retraumatize yourself. Practice this process on as many old situations and people as you can. Each time it will get easier and you’ll feel freer and more confident.
