Tapping techniques is known as tapping 10 points in your head and upper part of your body while you visualize a pain, or a problem from your past that is taking your energy , bring stress and pain and reduces the quality of your life.
“Tapping provides relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical diseases. While Tapping is newly set to revolutionize the field of health and wellness, the healing concepts that it's based upon have been in practice in Eastern medicine for over 5,000 years. Like acupuncture and acupressure, Tapping is a set of techniques which utilize the body's energy meridian points. You can stimulate these meridian points by tapping on them with your fingertips – literally tapping into your body's own energy and healing power.”

Tapping is part of EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques which is part of Energy Psychology
“Energy Psychology (EP) is a family of evidence supported modalities that balance, restore and improve human functioning by combining physical interventions (using the acupuncture system, the chakras, and other ancient systems of healing) with modern cognitive interventions such as imagery-based exposure therapy.
These methods are being used around the world by thousands of mental health and allied health professionals as well as lay people to achieve rapid, dramatic and lasting therapeutic shifts in feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. While some of these techniques are simple enough that children can be taught to use them independently, they have proven
so powerful that they are being employed by several worldwide to provide first response to disasters and other traumatic situations.
Positive clinical and experimental outcomes have shown EP methods to help alleviate multitude of issues including trauma and PTSD, anxiety and phobias, depression, addictions, weight management, pain. They have also been found to support improvement in school, sports and work performance.
This innovative approach to mental and physical health is currently being studied by the National Institutes of Health, the Kaiser Foundation, and the Veterans Administration. Though scientific study of energy psychology modalities is in it
its early phases, the growing body of clinical research has thus far been very promising. fMRI and QEEG results have shown positive brain activity after the use of energy psychology techniques.” (This quote is taken from http://energypsych.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=227)
Tapping is a positive technique and it works for many people that explore, learn and
apply the interrelations between a body system and mind systems. Tapping provides
assurance that we understand the operating system of our being and that awareness,
affirmation and positive thinking may change the energy/chemistry of memory content
that is connected to emotional conditioning that mostly is in our subconscious mind until
a trigger from within or from external environment, brings anxiety, sadness and
destructive thoughts to the “desktop of our minds” and make us miserable. Accessing
the 10 tapping points is in fact a great self management tool, intended to release
ourselves from emotional discomfort. Yet, these points don’t cover all body energy
centers.
What if you had a whole inner body tapping system that can access and vibrate
all the meridian acupuncture energy centers in one operation?
