Good morning,
Last year when I was working on "the book that never was" I was charged with writing a chapter on the history of tapping and why we tap where we tap on the body.
On the surface this seems like a straightforward question, until you actually get into the weeds of how tapping came about and the evolution of the tapping points.
At different times people have been taught to tap with 16, 15, 7, 8 or 9 tapping points. I would be willing to bet that if you learned tapping in the last five years, you were only taught 7, 8, or 9 tapping points.
The reason this has been at the front of my mind is because earlier this week I was working with a client who is a very experienced tapper. I asked her to tap on a certain point and she replied "I've never heard of that point. Where is that and why would I tap there?"
One of the wonderful things about tapping is that it is so quick and easy to do that it allows space for innovation and experimentation. But it also means that when people innovate, some of the older approaches fall out of favor.
Don't get me wrong. I am not someone who believes the way I learned tapping or "the way we did it back in the day" is necessarily superior. I see much better results when working with my clients because I am always learning new approaches.
At the same time, sometimes tools and techniques are left behind for reasons that have nothing to do with their efficacy.
In this week's podcast I share three of my favorite tapping approaches that for one reason or another are rarely taught.
They are simple to do and even easier to learn. After you give them a try you can decide if you'd like to add them to your regular tapping tool set.
Of the three tools I teach in this podcast, the second one is something that I use all the time with my clients AND it is one of the most valuable tools in my tapping tool box.
I would love to hear about your experience with these old/new-to-you approaches.

Let me know how it goes,
Gene
