When you think about money or finances, what's the most prevalent emotion that comes up for you? Is it peace, contentment, or joy? Or is it stress, anxiety, or frustration?
For many, it's the latter. Perhaps it's debt, or maybe you're on a fixed income and can't really enjoy the things you'd like to because you're always thinking about whether or not you can afford it.
When I surveyed over 10,000 people a few years back, the number one issue people wanted to work on was stress around their finances. And it's for a good reason!
If you're newer to this practice, our in-depth guide to how tapping calms anxiety is a good place to begin.
More Than Money
When we are in a financial bind, the level of anxiety goes deeper than just the purchasing of material things.
Money is tied to our most primitive needs for survival in our modern society, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc.
So when we feel financial lack, it activates that fear mechanism in the most ancient parts of our brains.
If you're familiar with the chakra system, the first chakra, located at the base of the spine, has to do with core survival emotions and beliefs. This includes money, which is why lower back problems can often accompany financial stress.

Improving our financial situation can sometimes be tricky because it seems like simply having more money would fix everything. That sounds logical, right?
But the truth is, money is just an outward expression of our inner belief systems.
Like many other areas of our lives, what we think about, we bring about.
So if you're currently feeling frustration and lack, there's a part of your mind (either consciously or subconsciously) that's working on that level. And if you notice, it will usually present itself in cycles.
That's why even if we came into a large sum of money, our bank accounts would gradually diminish to the amount we "think" we should have or deserve, leading us back to our starting point or back into debt.
Around and around this cycle will continue, until it's broken. That's where Tapping comes in!
