Surrogate Tapping with Jessica Ortner

Written by: Nick Ortner

Oh… the many times, in my personal journey of growth and development that I thought…

“If (fill in name of your friend/family member/colleague) would just do (fill in name of the modality/supplement/seminar/book), then their life would be so much better!”

Have you had similar thoughts? Of course you have, because you care about those you love. You are on the cutting edge of exploring information that changes lives, and you just want more people to know this life-changing information, to make better choices, to find more happiness, joy, health, and abundance.

But I learned a lesson many years back that’s encapsulated in an old saying…

“You can lead a horse to water… but you can’t make it drink.”

It’s been my personal experience that the best way I can help others is to:

A. Do my own work first – BE the change!

B. Share with passion and enthusiasm, but WITHOUT attachment to the outcome – i.e. whether the horse drinks or not!

And there’s actually a Tapping process that I’ve used to support that path, called “Surrogate Tapping”.

Now, I often think Surrogate Tapping is slightly misunderstood, in that people think, “Oh, I can just tap for someone else and FIX them,” – i.e. “I can make that horse drink!”

Whereas, I believe the real power in Surrogate Tapping is to first help us clear our own emotional attachments, stress, anxiety and overwhelm about the situation, person, or challenge. What I’ve found to be really exciting about doing this is that when we do our own work first, THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS.

I can’t fully explain it, but I’ve seen it again and again in my own life and in those who have done this process.

So if there’s a situation you’re struggling with, if there’s a person who you love that you are stressed out and anxious about, if there’s someone you want to help…

Then take a few minutes to try this free Tapping Meditation.

    Jessica,
    Thank you so much for sharing this and the Japan tapping I use either of them each night! They are responsible for shifting situations quickly with detached attachment.

  2. Patricia says:

    Every time I use this something wonderful happens inside of me! This is great………Thank you for sharing this process with the world.

  3. Barbara Hinz says:

    This is one of the most beautiful moments I’ve had, being so connected. I feel your love Jessica and I thank you for making this available to me and the world.
    My daughter is going through a very difficult time right now and I will update her transformation as it grows and blooms.
    With a most grateful heart, love and light I send you nothing but blessings and miracles.
    Barbara

  4. Marlene says:

    I just love it – and I try it on everything. Not surrogate, also just for my very own, daily well being. Thank you.

  5. Judy says:

    Jessica,
    I want to share with you what happened to me today. I have a friend that was suddenly very ill. He was taken to the hospital with no pulse in his leg and having seizures. Last night the Drs. said if his leg and foot did not regain circulation in twenty four hours, they would have to amputate. I tapped for him this morning for circulation to be regained and healing for him. This was at about 10:00 a.m. At about 2:00 p.m. I had a phone call that he had had another angioplasty and the clots were breaking up. The Dr. also said that there were other things they could do and would not be amputating his foot or leg. I believe he will have full recovery. Not only was this amazing, but other good things happened, that could have only happened because of this incidence. The people around him have been discovering themselves and I am sharing tapping with them, thanks to you Jessica. I love this stuff!!

    Hi Jessica
    I have been using your surrogate tapping audio and wanted to say thank you so much for this wonderful gift. I have had a challenging relationship with my teen and through practicing tapping with your audio there has been a huge shift in the dynamic between us. The changes were noticeable immediately after the first time I listened to the audio and tapped along. I have been listening and tapping every day for a couple of weeks and the results are profound. Now that I have shifted the dynamic in that relationship I am going to apply the surrogate tapping to other areas of my life. Thank you again. Tapping is the most wonderful tool for healing and personal growth that I have found so far.

  7. Rowena S. says:

    Jessica, you have a wonderful energy and a beautiful spirit that shines through when you do the tapping session. I am so grateful to you, Nick & Steve G. Jones for educating people about tapping and hypnosis as healing tools. I have used them to make positive changes in my life already (to overcome severe chronic fatigue related to hypothyroidism, and to morph into a healthy exercise addict!). I’ve got many more changes to make, but feel great knowing I am on the right path. God bless and thanks.

    Rowena S.

  8. eric holzman says:

    Dear Jessica,
    Would you recommend a master for me to tap with here in NYC.
    Thanks, Eric Holzman

  9. Luz Teranishi says:

    I’ve just started doing this emotional freedom techniques, EFT, for only past a month but I found it very effective, though, I couldn’t believed at first, but then I tried it when I had a stress on something..I concentrated it over the situation..then in just few minutes, I felt relieved and relaxed..and I was really surprised. Thank you so much Nick and Jessica for this wonderful techniques of healing.

  10. mary johnston says:

    I have done it before with Jessica but this time when saying the acclimations at the end I felt myself tear up on saying “I love you” and “please forgive me” as they apply so much to my trying to control this very dire situation with a loved one. Worrying and anxiety makes it only that more awful.
    I will keep doing this and hoping that I will “let go” more and more each time I do it.

  11. Bruno Coutant says:

    Great!
    Thank you.

    May Love, Peace and Light be with you.
    With Love and Light,

    Bruno

  12. Martela Beck says:

    This is such a gift to us all. Thank you.
    I have been on my path for a very long time, yet realized only recently how much was from the neck up! Tapping has allowed the floodgates to open and I have been swept away. I feel now that I embody what I have been “searching for”…
    I have been sharing tapping with those I love (part of what I truly love about tapping is that one seems compelled to share) and the results are immediately discernible on their faces, in their eyes. I am full up to the top! with gratitude.
    Jessica, how would it be to have “love within me”… and “love to the Earth”…included?
    I cannot find words to express my gratitude for having found you and Nick!

  13. char says:

    Namaste Jessica and Alex, Thank you so much for this guided EFT and the guided EFT for Japan. I’ve been deeply moved by both of them. I was over come with emotion while doing them with Jessica. I loved that you used ho’oponopono as well. I’ve been using ho’oponopono and tapping with my children and it’s amazing to see it working in front of your eyes! Thank you, thank you, thank you, from deep within my soul. Love and light.

  14. Jaime says:

    Spirit-stirring. Thank you!

  15. Ania says:

    Dear Jessica,

    Your Surrogate Tapping is amazing! It helped me to release a lot of emotions which were stuck without me being conscious about it. I cried all the way through tapping. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful technique. God bless you! Love and light! Ania

  16. Matt Makowski says:

    Wonderful. Thank you Jessica. I will revisit this tapping often. I am filled with peace, light and love.

  17. Lalitha Brahma says:

    Thanks Jessica! Really appreciate your commitment and love what you do to help so many people across the globe. Surrogate tapping is the easiest and fastest way to help someone who is apprehensive /skeptical /unsure of EFT.

  18. Birgitta says:

    I feel very good after the tapping. I have a friend who is sick and I was woried for her but now I realise it is not up to me any more.Thank you .This is very very good!!!!

  19. Ann Chevalier says:

    Thank you so much Jessica and Nick . I am so greatful that I receive e-mails from Dr. Marcola, because that is how I learned about the 2011 World Tapping Summit. You know the old saying “When the student is ready the teacher will appear”. You came just at the right time when I needed to learn Tapping. Tapping is new to me . My husband and I have done, Reflexology, Acupressure, Kiesiology, Massage, Iredology, and now the Tapping. This is just the iceing on the cake for me. I was so excited about being able to take part in the summit. I explained the tapping to my daughter before she left for a business trip and now she calls and tells me how much the tapping has helped her. Now I can’t wait for her to come home so she can listen to the tapes I recorded. While I was listening to you Jessica a friend stop by to visit and she instantly got interested, and she sat and listened . I can see her relaxing as she listened to the whole session. When done she said she was so relaxed and much calmer, and she mentioned that your voice had such an affect on her. She said she can listen to you voice all day. The Surragant Tapping is so wonderful. While I was tapping and concentration on the indiviuald I was tapping for, I can feel myself becoming totaly light and uplifted. I can feel the intencity of the pain in my back and the neurapathy in my feet and legs ease up. I can do this session all day it had such a profound affect on me. You can feel the devine power of God working. You and your brother have helped thousands of people already and may you help thousands more. Thank you again Nick and Jessica.

  21. Donna Smith says:

    With the first few taps, I felt my body begin to release negativity. Never before have I realized how “physical” feelings really are. Thank you. My very deepest gratitude to you for sharing this.

  22. Julie says:

    Thank you so much for this gift. I used this daily in the lead up to birthing my third baby, to release any fears I had around birthing. It was a beautiful lotus birth, and we have a beautiful, calm boy!

  23. Bonnie McKinnon says:

    Thank you so much, Jessica and Nick.
    I’ll be using this or something modeled after it with some of my clients.
    And Jessica, I’ve been watching the 2011 Tapping Summit, and I’ve been extremely impressed with your interviewing skills. You’re a natural.

    What a beautiful, beautiful gift. Thank you Jessica and Nick. I have a serious health issue with my 18 year old daughter and no one has been able to help her. I will use this surrogate audio to guide me through the tapping sequince and let you know how it works out. Rich blessings to you both and thank you ♥

  30. Jim Bernard says:

    The lady with the back problem would be better trying chiropractors first before having an operation.
    Periods of fasting as well can help as well as the positive thinking

  31. Annette Hartt says:

    Although I am grateful for the video clips, I’m at a loss for what this.
    Can you explain what EFT stands for as well as what the purpose of tapping is all about.?
    I look forward to your response.
    With gratitude and blessings,

  37. Terry (or Amelia) says:

    Hi Jessica, I’m a 73 year old “porteña” widow (sure you know what porteña means) and I just watched your video. It was great to know there is somebody in Argentina who knows about EFT.I now live in Mar del Plata, have you visited the place? It’s lovely.
    I now feel encouraged to start using EFT to get rid of an issue that is setting me back.
    Thanks very much for your video.
    Terry

  38. Blossom says:

    It is so “uncanny” that I had been suffering from a respiratory (upper and lower) ailment for a week and day before yesterday while I was miserable in bed for the 4th day only wanting to die because of the pain my sinuses were causing. Everything I tried did not seem to be of much affect so I began tapping my sinus areas hoping that the tapping would cause the mucous to loosen and drain. I am certain that is exactly what began to happen. I am still experiencing the congestion but only to a minor degree. then 2 days later I come across this video and audio. LOL I did follow along with the audio for my mom (chronic COPD) and i felt lighter as in that there was less darkness hindering the light within and without. It was almost like coming out of a dark cave or tunnel into lovely light and peace. My hands were resonating, they do this often while I am giving massage.
    I have been seeking the truth for many years, not following any way in particular because I have seen so much failure in religions and I am a very sensitive person. I tried their way to the bests of my ability but found that I lacked what it took to adhere to their teachings. Something seemed missing. The pieces didn’t fit together. It all seemed like a big lie with just enough truth to make it believable. I have been reading Deepak , Tolle and several enlightening messengers. I have a passion to preserve the planet and help others to heal. Thank you for this encouragement and blessings on to you.

  40. ona fortu says:

    i use it too sine 1997:) works.

  41. Marilyn says:

    Am a blind, disabled shut-in senior woman whose youngest son recently had a stroke and is in critical condition. I used this to align myself with the forces of light, peace and love so that I can speak on the phone to my son with comforting words and be able to send him the love & hope, faith I have that all will be well according to the universe’s plan for him. Personally, I felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I will spread the EFT word to all my family and friends. Together we CAN make a difference as long as each of us individually prepare ourselves for life’s blessings and pass it/them along. I love the idea of the TAPPING surrogacy method; I’m in SC and my son is now in NY and our only contact is by phone. Many Blessings

  42. Christina Joy says:

    While listening to the directions for the first time, I felt complete relief that everything was being covered except for one thing which I added myself: during the love, peace, light above below, beside etc., I felt the need to add ‘within’, which I did.

    When I felt into my body to notice sensations, as directed, tears formed and I released a deep sadness.

    Thank You so much for this gift. I feel so much more free around the situation I focused on. Bless You :o)

  43. shaz says:

    I’m sorry, please forgive me, thankyou, I love you….I believe we need to start with oneself, whatever challenges we face, we should respond with love, kindness, patience and forgiveness…we all have the divine power to change whatever challenges we face…Ho’oponopono..Thanks for sharing your a beautiful person inside and out

  44. Lisa says:

    Thank you Jessica,

    Lisa

  45. Avey says:

    Thanks ever so much. I feel at peace and am looking at all in a new light and of peace and love for all mankind. I want to learn more of tapping and to have my family and friends use it also. I could not have done this if it were a paid presentation for many reasons. Bless you.

  46. Margie Friedman says:

    That was truly beautiful Jessica, thank you!

  47. Janet says:

    Hi, Ive involved with EFT for some time.Im still working on some issues. However Im in a bad fix as my older brother of 64 has tongue cancer.We were all from a very abusive home-raised by satan mom. He found our dad dead on floor. Pete was always helpful to family.No matter what. He doesnt deserve this crap. He had to drink & smoke to calm himself down to sleep.He has hept this crap inside for yrs. Now they said hes dieing & needs chemo. Which I know is bad.I also know they cant service EFT as they would be out of business. They have to make $$$.Ive been taping for Pete-Lyle Cobb-N.H. not sure if doing it right as Im in vt & no phone. Sis went to see him & said he looked better& was able to talk better than when we took him to get the check up ,as then he had to write it all down.I wish I could clear it all up,but the chemo wont help either. Janet

  48. Colleen says:
