The Tapping Solution
At the beginning of my post, Magic at Your Fingertips, I mentioned watching a DVD that completely altered my whole perception of meridian tapping and let me understand how truly powerful it really is. That DVD was The Tapping Solution. It’s a gorgeous movie — gripping, beautifully produced, entertaining and informative.
It follows ten people, each with a different and challenging problem, through a weekend EFT intensive. Cutaways to explanations, background information and testimonials bridge the segments, much as they did in the movie The Secret.
As you watch, you not only see how the tapping process unfolds in actual practice, but watch the participants’ transformation as they discover insights and clear the obstacles that have stood in the way of their healing.
If you haven’t decided yet whether to take EFT seriously or to try it, The Tapping Solution DVD will definitely help you make up your mind—and give you a fascinating hour of moving, healing information along the way.
Mastering EFT
Mastering EFT provides a wealth of tapping information and free resources, including a free twice-monthly newsletter, EFT 1-Minute News, Guidelines for finding an EFT Practitioner, Dr. Carrington’s delightful pdf on “Tapping in the Positive,” and EFT programs for weight loss. It’s not the prettiest site around, but don’t let that stop you. It’s generously laden with resources that are worth a serious look.
I really enjoy Patricia Carrington’s work. The “how-to” video on the first page of her site gives one of the nicest demonstrations of the location of the tapping points that I’ve ever seen.
A master and long-time teacher of EFT, Dr. Carrington writes mainly for fellow professional practitioners. Even so, her articles are easy to read and provide excellent information on tapping.
Dr. Carrington, a Associate Clinical Professor at UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey, is probably best known in the EFT world as the developer of “The Choice Method” for use with EFT. Using it prevents your brain from sabotaging you with the doubt and disbelief that affirmations often generate when you use them. You can obtain a 35-page pdf describing the method as a free gift for subscribing to her newsletter, EFT 1-Minute News or follow the links to it on the site.
If nothing else, be sure to download “Tapping in the Positive” for insight on how to use tapping with your positivity practices.
EFT Universe
Originally founded by Gary Craig, the beloved ‘grandfather’ of meridian tapping, EFT Universe is by far the most comprehensive resource for learning about the process and how to use it on the Net.
In fact, it’s so jam-packed with information that I recommend you go immediately to its “Getting Started” page for an overview of all the material that’s available to you.
You can dip into in-depth information about exactly what tapping is and the principles that it’s based on, download a free getting started package, examine a four-page list of books on its use, explore the science behind it, subscribe to their newsletter and even join their interesting discussion forum. And if English isn’t your preferred language, the site has links to materials in other languages as well.
The most powerful page on the site, in my mind, is the movie on the Free Videos page that shows the power of EFT as a therapy for returning war veterans who are suffering from PTSD. The other videos on the page tell the stories of people with other problems—knee pain, diverticulitis—who have found relief with tapping, and the testimony of a medical doctor who uses tapping with his patients.
Be sure to check out the EFT Radio page, too. While the premium programs are available only by subscription, the free programs are definitely worth a listen.

Like any new behavior, it takes awhile to establish tapping as a regular practice in your positivity repertoire. But you can use it with almost all of your other positivity practices to bolster them and to discover areas of resistance that are holding you back from experiencing all the joy and meaning you are capable of living in your life.
I heartily encourage you to take time to explore it in some depth and to begin making it a tool that you use daily.
