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

In his book, The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living, author Nick Ortner provides a step-by-step guide to using the ancient technique called tapping, or the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), to reduce stress, anxiety, and trauma. With examples from his own life and inspiring stories of success, Ortner demonstrates how tapping can be used as an effective tool to help people find emotional freedom from life’s challenges.

The concept of tapping was developed by Roger Callahan, an American psychologist, who discovered that tapping specific points on the body can help to target and neutralize destructive energies. During their conversations, Dr. Callahan told Ortner that in Japan, Chinese doctors had been practicing tapping for thousands of years. Through his research, Ortner was able to unlock the Western world's power of concepts and utilize simple language to explain tapping.

Ortner explains that tapping works because it activates the energy pathways (meridians) in the body. When one of these pathways becomes blocked or overwhelmed, it results in physical, emotional, and mental baggage that can manifest as stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, pain, and more. By tapping on certain points of the body, one can release this blocked energy, allowing it to flow freely, allowing their mind and body to come into balance and harmony.

The book is divided into four parts. In Part I, Ortner explains the principles underlying tapping and provides solid evidence of its effectiveness. He then dives into Part II, where he covers how to prepare for and perform a tapping session, how to stay focused during the session and how to end it effectively. In Part III, he introduces tapping techniques for working on specific challenges and conditions, as well as changing limiting beliefs. Finally, Ortner covers general tapping techniques in Part IV to help readers maintain their progress, prevent future issues, and boost their overall performance.

In The Tapping Solution: A Revolutionary System for Stress-Free Living, Ortner outlines every aspect of tapping in an easy to understand way. He makes especially good use of case studies and examples to quickly illustrate and explore different topics. He also offers simple and practical strategies on how to maximize the impact of tapping - from setting goals, to staying on track and tracking your own progress.

The Tapping Solution is an excellent book for anyone interested in the power of tapping and the potential to bring about lasting and deep results in life. Ortner’s easy to follow and simple explanations of how to use this technique make it an invaluable guide for anyone interested in harnessing the potential of this ancient practice. By combining scientific and spiritual perspectives, The Tapping Solution offers an easy to understand and effective way to gain back control and find emotional freedom.
