The Tapping Solution: A new-agey spiritual technique enters the spotlight
You may have watched the hilarious “Sh*t New Age Girls Say” video, in which the title new-age girl taps her fingers to her forehead and cheeks while promising to love herself even though she ate a piece of cheese. Ha!
The segment is poking fun at Tapping, or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), a technique that promises to banish negative emotions and heal pain by stimulating the body’s meridians and energy flow through light finger tapping and positive affirmations.
It looks (and sounds)….well…wacky.
But thanks to a new film, The Tapping Solution (which follows 10 people who are introduced to tapping to deal with emotional trauma in their lives), it’s getting new attention in the wellness world. Tara Stiles’ down-to-earth Strala Yoga hosted a screening of the film just this past weekend.
“The vast majority of people said they heard of tapping from a friend or family member and they were curious to learn more,” says associate producer Jessica Ortner. “That’s been happening a lot lately. Someone tells me three different people they know mentioned it, and they are dying to learn what it’s all about.”
Recently, wellness celebs like Kris Carr and Deepak Chopra have both touted EFT’s benefits.
So will The Tapping Solution become as popular as its new-agey predecessor The Secret? The two films do feature lots of the same people, so hey, you never know.

I am a therapist and have used the tapping solution method with clients for everything from anxiety to phobias with great success!
I was at the screening at Strala Yoga and it was amazing! Anyone who has not seen this life altering movie needs to order it TODAY!

Started tapping a year ago, sceptical but willing to give it a try. A year on, and what a difference it makes! I am calmer, more confident, more assertive, sleep better, and I’m fitter. Amazing stuff. The hardest part is to get over how whacky it seems at first, then it’s just easy, gentle, portable and incredibly versatile. Check it out for yourself.
I have not only used EFT with my own issues, but I have utilized it when working with prison inmates, domestic violence victims, sexual assault survivors as well as others. The results are amazing!!! One woman released “flashbacks” of child molestation in one session. It is a remarkable technique that can have last effects and once you know it, you can use it by yourself. You don’t always need someone else to doi it with you. After all you are the expert on your emotional issues. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone for just about any issues you may be having.
Tapping eliminated my back pain, that I had for years. It worked in less than a day for me. I used to take 4 or more ibuprofen a day and now I take none. Can’t believe it worked but it did for me. Now I’m tapping on everything.
Very realistic and a good article, Even myself haven’t read this article before, I don’t have any idea that I’m already doing that tapping solution.
