Can Tapping on Yourself Help to Eliminate Pain?

Posted by lorirenee1 @lorirenee1, Sep 4, 2019

Browing YouTube, I came upon many videos about tapping meridian points on your face, and some on your chest, and top of your head, to eliminate pain. You literally tap on these points, and say that your pain is not necessary, and the pain goes away. I tried it just a few times so far, and it worked. This really seems to good to be true. Is there any Science behind this? Have any of you tried it? Go to youtube and type in tapping for pain. There are many videos on it. Seems crazy to me, but so far, it has helped. I guess if pain signals come from the brain, and you tell yourself to stop, while tapping, your brain does something else. Too good to be true. How long does it last? Is this crazy? Am I crazy? What do you think? (Don't answer that!!!) Lori Renee

I use tapping to help lessen anxiety, and have found it very helpful. Often I start my day with a round of tapping, and follow this with meditation. The tapping I am familiar with is called EFT -- emotional freedom technique. It is simple to use and can be surprisingly effective.

I have heard of this and believe I tried it back when my chronic migraines began out of desperation. Science provides facts but, believing in something also helps create positive brain power. Thanks for the link to the book John. I'm interested in learning how to strengthen the brain regarding dimentia and alzheimer disease.
