The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living

One of these days I will actually start LISTENING to what the Universe is trying to tell me! A few years ago I kept hearing about tapping. I didn't look into it though, and just passively heard tidbits about it here and there. Recently, though, the subject kept showing up IN MY FACE. I heard about it EVERYWHERE. I felt really intrigued by the idea, and synchronistically had been looking for ways to relieve stress in my life. I begrudgingly decided to give it a try and ordered this book from Nick Ortner. Thank goodness the Universe is patient, because this book BLEW ME AWAY! I did not expect it to be this way at all. I thought it was going to be another book about some scientific stuff that, honestly, doesn't really interest me. Still, I was willing to give it a try. While the scientific stuff is in there, it is, at its core, a book about PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION. The tool of tapping works on many levels, and as I read through the book, found ample opportunities to practice the technique. The first time I tried it in the early parts of the book I thought, "how am I ever going to remember all these steps?" I kept going though, and within the first couple of chapters, I found myself tapping independently, at random times during the day, with EASE! Once you do them a few times, the tapping points and statement guidelines are actually not difficult at all and just naturally stick in your mind. I did NOT have to work hard at all to benefit from the practices in this book! As a spiritual junkie, I prefer self-help books to cater to that desire in me. I did not expect this book to be spiritual at all; boy was I wrong! It is deeply spiritual in a very natural, nonthreatening way. As I progressed through the book and continued practicing tapping on my own, I found that tapping is an extremely intuitive process that helps us to release blocks. These blocks keep us from hearing our Internal Guidance (aka intuition/ God/ Spirit/ angels/ Higher Self), and therefore keep us feeling stuck and alone. Each time I tap on an issue, it clears away some of that stuck emotion and I'm able to hear that internal whisper again. I am a busy mom with a gaggle of young children. As much as I would dearly love to spend endless hours each day, blissed out on my meditation pillow, that is simply not a reality in my life right now. What I found with tapping, though, is that it is SO quick, effective, and easy, that I am using it ALL THE TIME! I don't have to be alone to do it. I don't have to wait until my children are sleeping or quiet. I don't have to set aside a large chunk of time. This is, perhaps, my favorite thing about this tool: its incredible accessibility! No matter how busy I am or how chaotic my life, tapping is available IN THE MOMENT. When I take a few minutes to do it, I feel more peaceful. EVERY TIME. WITHOUT FAIL. That is more than I can say for many other techniques I have tried! Before I read this book, I was resistant to tapping because I didn't want yet another practice that promised to ease the stress in my life, but that I didn't have time for. I have a pile of discarded books already that, while lovely to read, are not practical for a mom on the go. And with each book I discarded, I'd feel more disappointment and a growing sense of hopelessness. THIS BOOK IS NOT LIKE THAT! I started using the technique immediately, and the results were SO immediately effective that I find myself using it all the time throughout the day. I am just at the beginning of this tapping journey, but I'm already feeling so grateful to have this practice in my life. It has helped me to find peace in my daily life. That alone is worth its weight in gold!

In the paperback edition of The Tapping Solution, Nick Ortner delivers a comprehensive, easy-to-follow guide that introduces readers to the transformative practice of tapping, or Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). As the founder of the Tapping World Summit and a leader in this new healing movement, Ortner expertly breaks down both the science and the practical steps behind this simple yet powerful technique. The beauty of tapping lies in its versatility, and Ortner emphasizes that it can be used to address a wide range of emotional and physical issues, from chronic pain and stress to fears, phobias, and limiting beliefs. His clear, friendly voice makes the book approachable for beginners, while the included diagrams, worksheets, and step-by-step instructions ensure readers can easily follow along. What sets this book apart are the inspiring real-life stories of healing and transformation, showing how tapping has helped countless people overcome their personal challenges. What makes The Tapping Solution truly exceptional is how it empowers readers to take control of their own healing. Ortner's guidance offers practical tools that anyone can use to tap into their body's energy meridians and reset negative patterns. Whether you're dealing with physical pain, emotional blocks, or simply looking for a way to improve your overall well-being, this book provides a roadmap to a healthier, more balanced life. For anyone curious about EFT or looking for an accessible introduction to self-healing, The Tapping Solution is an invaluable resource. Ortner not only teaches you the "how," but also the "why," giving readers everything they need to start their own journey toward freedom and inner peace. Highly recommended!

I give this book to all my clients as a matter of course. It's the best book on self-help health management I've read or studied. Tapping or Emotional Freedom Techniques is the most effective way to manage health and well-being I know. And Nick Ortner's book, The Tapping Solution is the best way to learn 'tapping.' There are many other books on EFT, but in my opinion none so helpful as Mr. Ortner's. Nick writes with an easy hand, gives many stories about how to use Tapping and provides tapping routines the reader can use immediately. Fact is, tapping often works when nothing else will. With this book the reader can learn how to manage his or her mental, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, physical and volitional health. NOTE: The Department of Veteran's Affairs needs to give this book to every member of the Armed Forces; especially the troops returning from war zones. There is hardly a day goes by that there isn't a news story about our vets suffering from PTSD. Or, about our veteran's suicide rate being greater than the casualty rate in the wars. Nick Ortner's book is a start in giving our vets the help they need. Talk therapy simply does not help our shattered troops; it serves only to re-victimize them. Hewever, Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) has been clinically proven to heal Post Trauma Stress Disorder (PTSD) and suicidal inclinations. With this book, a soldier can begin his or he own self-healing process. Better yet, once learned, Tapping is a life skill that can be used at any time for any emotional disturbance. It works for the vets and it works for the friends and families of our returning vets. For more information on help for our vets, see: [...] Buy and read The Tapping Solution. It is a life-changing book. And, buy and give a copy to a member of our Armed Forces; especially our war wounded. We owe it to them to provide the healing help they so desperately need. A gift of The Tapping Solution provides that hep.

I am always seeking ways to improve myself, physically, mentally and emotionally. I had never heard of the term “Tapping” until recently and decided to learn more about this self-help system. I decided to purchase this 229 page hardcover book (The Tapping Solution: a revolutionary system for stress-free living by Nick Ortner) along with a few others on this topic, which I got for a bargain price on Amazon. I found the system interesting and easy to apply for a wide variety of self-help areas. This book is organized into fourteen chapters. The first chapter explains the discovery of “tapping” or EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). The second chapter has a quick start to experience the “tapping” system. The third chapter focuses on relieving anxiety, and stress. Overcoming resistance to change is covered in chapter four. Chapter five explains “tapping” through your past. Healing the body is the topic in chapter six. Chapter seven deals with releasing physical pain. Chapter eight covers losing weight and letting go of fear. Creating love and healthy relationships is explored in chapter nine. Chapter ten explains using “tapping” to make money and achieve your dreams. Phobias and fears are explored in chapter eleven. Chapter twelve covers clearing other life challenges. A new vision for humanity is explained in chapter thirteen. The final chapter covers a new vision for you. I found this approach to self-improvement both interesting and unique. If you are seeking information on “tapping” you might want to check out this book. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J.

Excellent book! I discovered EFT/tapping over a year ago and used the technique very rarely and without much seriousness. However I have always kept it filed under "Things that do work but I'm not enlightened enough to trust it to solve any deep seated problems" in my mind. On my path of growing as a human being and reprogramming and replacing my subconscious mind with the help of many fantastic books, I can say that you do NOT need this book to actually learn how to tap. That can be achieved by simply searching 'EFT' or 'tapping' on YouTube. That is the beauty in EFT tapping. It's not exclusive, it's free, it's easy to learn, quick to learn, readily available and it WORKS. I have let go of some SERIOUS pain regarding a parent through tapping recently. Pain that was controlling my life and every self-limiting belief I had for over 15 years. It's just gone...I feel love and compassion instead of anger, fear, disdain and sadness. I've gone to years of therapy and while I believe therapy is a great help, it couldn't do what tapping did for my heavy heavy issue. I am SO happy I bought this book though I have learned through YouTube how to tap and what to say, Nicks writing is so easily understood and he provides TONS of information about the subconscious mind. Information that was spread out in multiple books that I've read, yet it's all in here! It's so important to realize anything you feel and believe about yourself stems from subconscious programming from childhood and that it CAN be changed. I love the different tapping scripts and the way Nick stresses the importance if letting your emotions guide "what to say" when talking. There is no set script for any issue and it's supposed to be as specific as you need it to be. EFT is an incredible technique that will change your life aside from any book written about it. But this is a Great book to learn about it and your subconscious mind.

Prior to purchasing this book, I was researching material for healing techniques that are painless and simple procedures, for many people that I know, who will indeed benefit from this valuable resource in the healing process. In 30 years of Nursing, working in the health field, I've never discovered a treasure trove for healing as I have found in this book. Nick Ortner shows how EFT can improve the quality of life, through the healing process of Tapping. This book is practical, informative, and impressive. I received it 2 days ago, and could not put in down, until the end. The author gives the what, why, and how to, of the painless healing process in simple step-by-step instructions. He shows through diagrams and also offers a video on the specific Tapping points: eyebrow; side of eye; under nose; chin; collarbone; and top of head. In addition of explaining the science and history behind tapping, the author shares personal stories from patients who used this healing technique. The stories are successful from patients who experienced a wide range of different problems, emotional and physical as well. There are 14 chapters of useful information of guiding you through the healing process from pain, emotional distress, and other problems, such as fear. The reader can learn how to apply and safely use Tapping. EFT is a promising new treatment that is genuine, extremely helpful, practical, and uplifting. The positive results for stress-free living is remarkable, especially for many suffering from physical and emotional pain, and illness. I found this amazing book a golden treasure in psychology and medicine as an incredible resource to enrich lives. Thank you Nick Ortner. Highly recommended!

I love this book and will continue to use it as a resource for a long time to come. It wasn't totally new material for me as I had taken an Emotional Freedom Techniques class (EFT) about 15 years ago after having a session with a woman in Colorado. I could see the sense of the techniques in the verbal description but didn't find the process as beneficial as I had expected. My feelings about EFT and Tapping changed dramatically after reading this book. Why does one person explain a process and have it make logical sense but little result and have another explain the process and experience tremendous results from putting the instructions into practice? Perhaps it has to do with timing and that I am just more ready to find relief at this point in my life than I was in the past. Whatever the reason, the book was the key for me. The only criticism I might have of this book is that a word of caution may be in order before proceeding to work through every issue that pops in your mind over one day and clearing all the muck too quickly. You can probably guess that was my modus operandi. I started Nick Ortner's book with hope that I could revive and put to better use my previous training. I was ready to go to work on every issue that I could think of. With every tapping experience during this first day, I seemed to find a deeper issue to work on next. The fact that this will occur is mentioned in the book and it is possible that Mr. Ortner mentioned a word of warning about going too fast and I possibly sped through that mention. Not that this did any harm other than I slept around the clock pretty much for the next several days, waking only to use the restroom facilities and have a bite to eat, then back to bed. Yes, my free-floating anxiety was gone, yes; the pain in my neck was gone. True, several issues that had plagued me for a while were gone. Would I do it again, all in one day? I think I might have learned to slow down a little and spread this book over a week or two rather than eating it up in one sitting. Enjoy~ the writing is clear and the instructions are very easy to follow. I did receive a free copy of this book from Hay House Publishing in order to write this review. I received no monetary compensation and was not obligated to make it a positive review. I was simply asked to give my honest opinion and this is it.

You lost me at "tapping tree." After that section came this paragraph that was straight-forward. " Often when I tap with a client about anger, that anger processes through the body and mind and turns into sadness. Then we tap on the sadness, and it might turn into a sense of loss. Then we tap on the sense of loss, and it might turn into gratitude for the experience and lesson. As the original anger is released, more positive feelings can become present." With all of the self help books that absolutely don't work, I think this one could have been more simplified for the average "Joe."

The content of the book is very well organized and very clear. The topics are catchy and clarifying. It's really what promises: a revolutionary system to a stress-free living. Thank you very much for sharing this precious knowledge and experience with us, Nick.

In der Doku Heal hatte ich diese Technick zum ersten Mal gesehen und wollte mehr darüber wissen und checken ob Humbug oder nicht. Nein es ist kein Humbug und Ja es funktioniert tatsächlich. Ich kann das Buch sehr empfehlen und die Technicken werden eingehend erläutert.

Thanks Nick for writing this book and sharing your story and the story of each of us common in so many ways. I have been tapping tapping and must share so many of my submerged memories are opening up. Really grateful. Miraculously, i have also discovered a tapping group locally on whatsapp and we are growing into a community. I am looking forward to integrating tapping in my consulting work with my clients. Been sharing abiut this with all i am meeting, i am thrilled just like a child. Thank you once again.

This was a must reread book and I know, why. It is informative, illustrative and very easy to read. All the ingredients of a great book.

I loved this book. One of the great health promoting books. People will really like this method of health promoting.....
