In this episode, I have the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Brad Yates...speaker, author, YouTuber, and "Tapping" Extraordinaire. Tapping, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is a very simple healing tool to help oneself clear mental and emotional blockages that could be keeping them stuck to any degree in life.  Brad's genuine intent to share a couple basic videos on YouTube years ago exploded as people took to his creative and often humorous use of EFT, which led to his now massive online presence, with over 1000 videos and 45 million views. Tapping is used as an effective method of physically resetting the body’s fear response by tapping on energy meridians throughout the body, while talking through the process in order to facilitate the clearing of emotional resistance and/or trauma.  During this discussion we go over all of the following and more:

  • The basics of EFT (tapping)
  • The science behind tapping and how it coincides with the science of acupuncture
  • What happens with the brain/nervous system as you implement EFT/tapping
  • The "whys" behind how despite our desire to change or heal, we get stuck or feel stagnant in our progress due to unconscious programming
  • How tapping can be applied to any scenario/concern one is having in life, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, general stress, anger, insomnia, etc.
  • How it can help with acute or chronic health symptoms and chronic pain
  • FAQs on tapping
