Nick Ortner Has a Tapping Solution

With the tapping we’re quieting that primal instinct. If someone has to fly within the hour and they’re scared of it, I can handle that with tapping. If they would meditate for an hour it’s unlikely that they’re going to be able to rewrite that program.

SL: Do you still need tapping?

Nick: Yeah, I do! To me, life is a series of challenges – I have replaced what I consider “bad problems” with “good problems” and what I mean by that is maybe a decade ago I’d be tapping for fear of standing out in the world and for financial frustration, for not loving what I was doing and now I am tapping for “Okay there’s a lot going on and there’s stress and responsibilities so how do I calm that, how do I stay centered, how do I get clarity on the decisions that I want to make in my business and in my life?” So I continue to use that.

To me tapping fits into a trinity of meditation, yoga and tapping. Somebody asked me about a year ago “Where do you want to see tapping, what’s your vision for it?” I told him that I believe it can exist in many places but the next step forward is to be accepted as part of that conversation. And it works really well – meditation is more of a mental process, quieting the mind, yoga is a more physical process and tapping is kind of in between – You’re a little bit of both, you’re doing the mental process and you’re doing the physical with it. A lot of people use tapping before meditation in order to gain clarity because it’s hard to sit and meditate when you’re angry or upset, but now you can do the tapping, quiet the mind and then meditate.
