Meridian Tapping

What is a meridian?
A meridian is an energy channel which has positive and negative ions that carries on communication between various parts of the body.
Meridians have been central to Traditional Chinese Medicine for over 5,000 years, and imbalances have been, and still are, treated with acupuncture.
Anything that disrupts the smooth flow of energy is said to cause illness, physical/mental or emotional.  Each regular meridian is believed to correspond to a body organ, and runs along the body to either hand or foot.
Meridians have been seen with the use of infra-red imaging.

What is meridian tapping?
Acupuncture/acupressure points lie on a meridian where the energy of that meridian channel rises close to the surface of the body.  Instead of acupuncture needles, the tips of the fingers are used to tap certain areas while the client repeats the specific problem and certain affirmations.  According to some acupuncturists, tapping may actually work better, as it is done while repeating certain phrases. This helps to focus on the area that needs help, and it is believed to clear paths for the neurons to fire, allowing reprogramming to take place at the cellular level.
According to Gary Craig, founder of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), which is a type of meridian tapping, it has produced amazing results in some people.


What Can it Do?
It removes the blockages along the meridians.  These blockages may be causing stress, pain, disease, addictions, phobias, and so on.
It can improve concentration, focus, health, and well being.

What should it be used for?
The list is endless.  To quote Gary Craig (EFT), “try it on everything”.
