Applying the Concept

Use tapping for stress relief. Locate the acupoints in Figure 1 on your own head, face, neck, torso, and wrists. Using the tips of your fingers, tap in a brisk and moderately pressured manner on each mapped spot along the meridians, saying aloud, “Even though I have this stress, I deeply and completely accept myself.” As you move from one point to the next, repeat the phrase at each new acupoint, continuing the pattern until you no longer feel the anxiety. When the anxiety has been eliminated, you may replace the naming of the anxiety with a positive phrase, something that feels true and empowering.

Get to the root of your problems. The Tapping Tree is a symbolic illustration used by the author to identify your tapping targets. The leaves of the tree represent the symptoms or side effects, such as anxiety, pain, procrastination, or clutter; the branches of the tree represent emotions, such as shame, fear, or depression; the trunk of the tree represents the events from the past, including an abusive childhood, detached parents, or not being loved; and the roots of the tree are the limiting beliefs people have, such as “I’m not good enough,” “There’s something wrong with me,” or “I don’t deserve to achieve my dreams.” The author uses the symbolism to help readers understand how stress and fear are rooted in emotions held over from events from the past, and that their ultimate result is often the set of limiting beliefs that restrict you emotionally. Tapping on the roots of problems eliminates both the symptoms and the “dis-ease,” according to Ortner. The author insists that when we go all the way to the roots of the problem, we experience dramatically positive results, leading to emotional freedom and happiness.

Transform yourself and your habits with tapping. The roots of overeating and excess weight, according to the author, are often a poor relationship with food, in particular an accumulation of fear, guilt, and shame about what, how, or how much we eat. Ortner suggests repeating this phrase to begin tapping for weight loss: “Even though I’m really stressed out about what I should and shouldn’t be eating, I deeply and completely accept myself.” A follow-up positive phrase might be “I am at peace around food now,” or “My body knows exactly what it wants and needs.” Cravings are handled similarly—when the craving arises, one simply taps on the acupoints while reciting, “Even though I am having this craving, I deeply and completely accept myself.” Ideally, one continues tapping until the craving stops. Of course, if you are not ready to give up your cravings, you might start out with the resistance-elimination tapping exercise, reciting, “Even though I am not ready to change, I deeply and completely accept myself.” Then you can gradually work your way toward retraining your brain to stop the habit of cravings.
