Breaking News in Tapping Research!

Written by: Nick Ortner

A little while ago, Dr. Peta Stapleton from Bond University in Australia spoke about a clinical trial she was running. In a nutshell, she planned on putting subjects in a Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) machine, and showing them pictures of food to see how their brain would “light up”. Then, she had them do Tapping for 4 weeks and put them back in the machine to see what had changed.

Honestly… I had my doubts! Not because I don’t believe in the stupendous power of Tapping, and or because I haven’t seen stunning results around the topics of cravings, over-eating, or weight loss. I just didn’t know if all of that would show up on the machine itself.

And I was very, very, very pleasantly surprised with the results. 🙂

Watch this 1 minute 9-second video from Channel 9 News in the Gold Coast to find out what happened:

Here’s a different close-up view of the brain scan from Dr. Stapleton’s research trial:

Until next time…

Keep Tapping!

    Nick, I know yo are as amazed at some of the results and outcomes as much as the client is. I guess my question to you is this….Do YOU truly believe in this and what did you use it on to help yourself?

    • Nick Ortner says:

      Hi Peg. As much as Nick does believe in this technique, sometimes there are results that even he is surprised by! Nick often suggests trying tapping on everything as he has tried tapping on everything for himself, from pain and illness to limiting beliefs about money and everything in between. 🙂

    Hey Nick, thanks so much for that. I just wanted to say that since I’ve started tapping regularly the results have been nothing short of life-changing. I felt like I was leaving a cave of fear for the first time in 30 years and felt so sorry for my poor over-worked amagdlya! I had no idea how total the negativity was. Now it’s having a rest the ripple effects are beautiful and mind-blowing. Pretty much every subject has undergone a healing revision. What an amazing technique, thank you so much for sharing it with the world. Much love and all the very best
