Nick Ortner Has a Tapping Solution
Although we had no filmmaking experience, we had the passion for the topic, we knew an existing community that believed in tapping and we knew that it worked. So we just had to get our camera and figure out how to make a movie.
SL: In your book “The Tapping Solution” you write about meridian acupoints. What are those and what happens when we’re tapping on them?
Nick: For a long time the discussion around tapping was about the energy in the body, sometimes talking about chakras, different systems and stuff that might well be true but we don’t have the real hard scientific data on that yet.
We do have data available directly related to tapping – the research is showing that when we tap on these end point of meridians – when focused on a certain problem, a challenge, a stressful issue, a fear or phobia, we actually send a common signal to the amygdala in the brain and most people know the amygdala is a fight or flight response centre. When you’re stressed out about anything in your life – that will light up the amygdala and cause the cells to fire. So when we focus on that stress and we do the tapping, we calm the amygdala and in essence we rewrite the brain processes, the emotion, the experience, whatever is going on.
