My guest this week is Jessica Ortner, a leading expert in EFT Tapping. She is also the co-founder of The Tapping Solution. A company on a mission to spread the power of Tapping.
You might be thinking, what is it. EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Technique. This is a practice where you tap on 9 different meridian lines in the body while thinking of the emotional disturbance causing you anxiety, stress, phobias, and chronic pain just to name a few.
Be open-minded about this one. It does sound a bit out there if you have not done it before.
Early in my healing, about 15 years ago, I got really into Tapping. It was so powerful for me I even thought about training as a teacher. As you know I didn’t go in that direction, instead, I trained as a coach.
Connecting with Jessica has absolutely reignited my love for Tapping and I’m going to be using it much much more going forward.
I hope by listening to this you will get excited about Tapping and give it a try. And please let me know what you think. Is this too out there for you? Have you tried it? Loved it? Or not for you?
