Perhaps the greatest power in Tapping comes from the ability to let go of the past.
If we have experiences that haven’t fully healed, that we haven’t let go of, the reality is, they ARE affecting us on a daily basis. Sometimes this effect is unconscious and we aren’t even aware.
Has something happened to you in the past, that when you think about the event, it still holds an emotional charge?
Perhaps a broken heart that still aches? Difficult financial events that you can’t seem to let go of? Did you do something that you can’t seem to forgive yourself or others for?
One of the fastest ways to let go of these past events is to use “The Movie Technique”. So if today, you want to feel a little lighter, let go of a little more, find that energy and joy again, then I have a free Tapping Meditation for you.
This meditation is designed as a companion to my book, The Tapping Solution for Pain Relief. But even if you’re NOT in pain, the meditation helps with any event from the past.

I’ve done two summits and yes, got your book and video but still have not been doing the work! However, yesterday I did my back in bending down to pick up two socks from the floor and wham! This happened in the exact same spot it happened in a few times before and I have been describing it to friends as ‘an old injury’.
Flat on my back on an ice pack, wondered what I could do to relieve the pain … and I started tapping. I had enormous difficulty moving my body at that point – just too much pain. Another ice pack later and more rest and more tapping I went to bed last night still feeling rather groggy with discomfort although it had shifted by about 2 points. Not much but still.
When I woke up this morning, it was down to about a level 2. So, up next, more rest and more tapping. I have been shown that this ‘old injury’ comes from a long way in the past and am working on resolving letting all that GO!
Thank you, Nick, for al the good work you are putting into this. I’m sure I speak for many when I say that you are the BEST!
Nick, Thank you once again for helping me learn and relearn this totally Awsome experience. I’m realizing it not only helps my chronic pain but also my self confidence. That can get pretty low when you live in pain and family and friends just can’t or won’t truly understand what you live with day in and day out! Since coming to Tap three years I’m not all out of pain because I have heaps to tap on but at least I have found some relief from the pain in my broken Heart. I am alive and am blessed to have found Tapping but especially you and Jessica you both feel like family that cares! There’s lots of tapping sights but yours is where I feel home safe!!! Love us !
What it opened my mind was that pain of loss or being angry or resentful can cause physical somehow.. I also know that alcohol is not the cure but just a pacifier for me. Thanks. (I did do that 11 day summit.)
What I love is how it works but if You don’t believe it takes a leap of faith maybe desperation too determination for sure/ things I wish You could pour into the very people who need it most. When I use tapping after spending time with my only son whose is a raging alcoholic. He is in such pain and sadness that could all be avoided but He rages on. Since I am not a miracle worker and have zero input to my sons attention span I only see the destruction too the point I can’t spend much time around Him because for Me seeing Him is sheer torture. Days later I still relive are time together that makes Me so sad. At that point I’m using the chopping block to the hand for those things I can’t change by the time I touch my eyebrows I say How much I love my son & that if I could have changed His path I could/would have years ago but I know that I have zero influence there. I asked Him to tap with Me He made fun of Me/ I cried by my self last night then started to tap I know I must do It much more after a visit with my Son. Because I know tapping works when You feel helpless… let this help another the way this has helped Me Maybe your son will hear it and heal with the hopes to pass to yet another son or daughter
Thank you for this profound experience! Thank you so much.
Tapping is new for me, I wish to do it, but I feel , from the book I can learn much more,
as when you talk fast , I don’t understand everything, but in the book I can stay longer
on the subject and do more practise…with letting go of bad memories from past.
It was so good to see Louice Hay on your show , she is wonderful – I love her !
Thank you so much for your help – Krystna
Thanks Nick. It certainly helps.
My movie is very ugly, so, I am working with a professional tapper – and it’s helping.
Thanks a lot for this soothing message. It felt good!
Have just done the Movie Tapping meditation and concentrated on an incident in my past which has caused me much angst for 20 years. It was a great movie! About 15 mins into it I suddenly burst into tears and sobbed and sobbed – but still kept tapping! I have acquired a completely new perspective on The Incident and will certainly do the exercise again. And I might even make a movie of it – bring your tissues!
Many thanks
Love Tapping! Have had extremely hard 12 yrs. Won’t go into all details, but about 8 yrs. ago lost my mother. then my daughter (45-yrs. old now) was diagnosed with Kidney Failure. She had 2 stents put in heart, congestive heart failure, a Kidney Transplant and 3 other operations. When all was done and I should have been happiest, I just CRASHED! So, for at least 4 years I couldn’t do anything. Did take care of daughter and what she needed, but other than that I was depressed, sad and I guess angry too. For years I felt guilty and ashamed and didn’t want people to know what happened to me, but all the sadness I felt during those years just caught up with me. Tapping has been a great help, plus Arch Angels and Faith to help me get on my feet one step at a time. Thank you so much for all of your videos and advice on the tapping process, Great Work!!! I had mentioned it to my sister who is a Massage Therapist and she just sort of sluffed it off until her therapist began using it with her. AGAIN, GREAT WORK AND THANKS!
I tapped yesterday on my sugar addiction which I haven’t been able to break the last 25 years. Seemed helpful. Then last night I dreamt about an old love and realized the eating has been about the loss of him and that relationship. I spent this morning reliving our relationship, reading his letters and feeling all the sadness and loss. I just watched the video and realized how much physical, emotional and spiritual pain I’ve carried in my body and psyche these many years as a result.
Funny how it took 24 hours for the deeper issues to be revealed. I’m so grateful and will keep tapping on it for greater relief.
Thanks Nick;– you’re a marvel!
TKS always! My husband has suffered from bad back pain since
he fractured the column in 3 places last July. The problem is just to get him to accept going through it!
Best.
Just: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you Nick Orten,I really like your program. It did make me feel better.
Thank you very much Nick!:)
The nausea I like with daily went from an 8 to a 2. Light bathed the movie and it turned to ashes. Boy Nick you are good. Thank you.
Thank you so much! For me, I have found that to be the most powerful and transformative tapping meditation to date. I now feel at peace and calm. Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you so much!!
I feel greater self love, value, worthiness, comfort, and confidence regarding some relationship issues I’ve been working on. It feels good to let it all go. Thank you for this gift
I’ve been unable to resolve GI problems that cause severe distention, nausea, fatigue and discomfort among other symptoms. I tapped on a moment early in my divorce about 15 years ago where my abusive ex convinced the judge to take my three young children away from me for a period of time. They were devastated when I had to come home from court and force them to go with him–screaming and clinging to my clothes–as he pulled them off of me and said “look what you’re doing to them” because I wanted the divorce. As I tapped I sobbed immediately with rage, sorrow, and profound sense of helplessness to stop it. I realized I’ve been believing that nothing I do to get well will work, and that I am still holding all those disempowered feelings in my gut. It took a very long time, but my kids have ended up doing well in life and were able to eventually get away from the abuse. I never stopped fighting for them and for the truth. I had been blaming myself that I couldn’t stop what happened and felt guilty for marrying him in the first place. My stomach stopped clenching and my sobbing stopped. I began to see how much I did do on their behalf and how much I’ve grown since those horrible days. I began to forgive myself.
That was so cleansing, Nick. Thank you very much!
Thank you I am so grateful for this learning I feel so much relief and more than anything I learned how to heal myself
I had injured my back (major pain, suffering), wasn’t sure I could walk again. Didn’t want to go the conventional medical route this time. It took couple of years (at least), to get better, with acupuncture, chiropractor and much money spent. Now, three times so far happened again (not as severe), but very painful. Today I listened to this meditation, while lying down (OH I forgot to say I hurt my back again two days ago). I got up and no pain. I went through everything that happened like a movie. Nick, there is not a day that I thank you when I meditate in the morning or send you prayers. I’ve shared the tapping technique with at least 20 people and getting ready to be trained to work with others. I have MRIs and X-rays for proof of my back injury. Thank You again & again.
As I was doing the tapping meditation on releasing the past, I think I started to feel how I actually never allow myself to really “feeeel” what happened in my movie. I always just gloss it over and remember little snippets of it and start to feel bad. I actually started trying to change things in my movie, seeing on my “screen” what I wish would have happened. Intellectually I accept that I should forgive, move on, etc. but on the feeling level I´m still in rejection and disbelief of the whole story. I think this really got me in touch with my feelings more and just allowed them to bubble up a bit more than I normally will allow. Thanks for this invaluable tool!
The event I experienced was on an airplane 43 years ago. It seems way too long a time to have a memory last. The intensity level was 10. It had to do with my mother’s cruel and unexpected behavior towards me. Then, three-quarters the way through the movie, it all changed. A flight attendant was offering me a glass of white wine and I accepted, feeling calm and secure, enjoying the moment, looking out the window at the night sky. It was such a contrast. At the same moment, I saw my mother and someone sitting near her in conversation, as they had been during that flight, and felt no charge and no emotional attachment or clamp to the event–it was as if I were watching the two of them on a stage play, not a very interesting one, but that didn’t matter. It was their thing to do, in the movie.
I was astonished at this result. I didn’t even know how this single event had resonated in different ways in ensuing years with other people and events. Now, it is gone. The charge. The sense of being emotionally lost. The shock of surprise. All gone. The second the attendant offered me the wine, a decades-old trauma was released.
This technique has to reach as many people as possible, for even though I imagine the years as they were had to be part of my training in this human path, how excellent if people now can collapse the time frame, and seek the freedom much sooner. Your work with children seems to be especially important in this respect.
Thank you for this extraordinary experience. I’ve been tapping off and on for two years, but this was definitely a peak experience.
my stomach hurt so much! today I took 2 nexiums and still a horrible pain..this was really incredible..from a 9 to a 3..after 4 rounds…thank you
Hi Nick,
I love these videos. I have been tapping a long time and see you taking it to a whole new level with instruction. It is difficult to have people take this seriously and all of your meditations and observations really help me apply tapping to help others.
Thanks for your tweets, website, Summits and videos. I love each and every one.
Very helpful video…Many thanks!
I tapped on an incident in 1940, when I was 3 years old. My adored older brother and his friend played an elaborate trick on me. I had new shoes and was very happy. They dug a hole in a sandy spot, covered it over with twigs and leaves and, holding my hands, led me to fall into the pit. My shoes never looked really new again. I was devastated. Tapping on this helped me to realize that I lost Trust in life itself on some level. I don’t have chronic pain, but perhaps this incident settled in my lower back, making my sacrum prone to displacement. Thank you, Nick.
What I really like about Nick Ortner’s taping samples is that he goes at the perfect pace. I am able to repeat after him and follow through the whole tapping session. Most other tappers go way too fast for me to follow. Tapping works, I have had plenty of relief with it. try it if you haven’t. 🙂
I started to cry as I experienced the intensity of the trauma. I refelt the insanity of what was happening. There was absolutely no way to understand what was happening. I understood now the beliefs that were integrated at that time. “Give up. Nothing changes. Nothing ever changes. There is no protection and no support. Give up.” I understood how my interpretation of this experience kept me from taking steps forward in a professional life and how it had kept me silent in situations in the years since then. There was a felt sense in the upper legs and inner groin of both tension and some release. I understood it was this pulling in and back in this leg area that kept me physically from moving forward. I appreciated you repeating, “You are safe. You are grounded in your body.”
I also felt the peace and empowerment as I changed the scenario. I saw how I could use this in situations with similar people now. At first I didn’t want to forgive one of the people involved but then I knew that I am never a victim and that it is my life beliefs that create situations. I am the painter on the canvas of life so I spoke in the movie to this person and there is inner peace now.
The fact that I am writing this comment is a testimony to what happened as I have only ever once posted a comment on the Internet.
Thank you for this opportunity.
hello! I have been around the block with tapping with initial training about 20 years ago. I used it frequently (with many variations) as a school counsellor). Inter sting to see the same sequ nice I used so long ago. The science is valid. I like using humming and eye movements such as moving eyes clockwise and then counterclockwise sharp right down sharp left down….etc. Good for you for taking someone else’s work and magnifying and promoting it. I do believe it can work. Good luck with your marketing!
That was amazing. Thank you for this gift. I will use it often and share it with others.
I just did a tapping session on releasing past events.and undoubtably will do more to release years of the stress and trauma around the events that occurred in my “movie”. The event that occurred was centered around my husband having an affair approximately 10 years ago. That devastated me. Thru it all we saw a counselor and remain married to this day. The initial Physical feeling l felt when he admitted to having the affair was a gut wrenching nausea as l hugged the toilet. l was alone and it was late at night as my husband and l had this conversation over the phone. The traumatic event caused feelings of anger, rage, sadness, humiliation loss of trust to name a few.. The counseling had helped to an extent. However, 4 years ago, l was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer, went thru 3 years of chemo and radiation treatments and the pain, fear and all the trauma of being diagnosed with cancer. I am in full remission today. I can only say that, perhaps, if l had known about tapping 10 years ago, l may not have had gotten cancer, spent millions of healthcare dollars, endured chemo/radiation treatments, put my family and friends thru the pain as well. Imagine…… Imagine what changes this can have of so many peoples lives. I am an RN, a Life Coach, a Grief Coach with a private practice in AZ. I now want to take your training to become certified to help others prevent what l had to endure senselessly. If possible have someone contact me so l can begin training ASAP. PS I became a Life Coach because l was inspired to become a Life Coach after seeing Cheryl Richardson many years ago on Oprah. I recently completed all of your week of free seminars online. They were fantastic. Sincerely, Cheryl
I have been watching your tapping videos for a number of years now. Tapping works great for me.! This is the first time I have heard you ask “What came up while you were tapping?” Thank you for another great way to gain insight!
What came up was that I was a bad bad person and I deserved to be punished.
That all the problems that occurred in my life fed my victim I felt happy the victim in me felt happiness
Then I saw as a young girl I did things that weren’t right I knew they were wrong I did them out of anger and frustration
So today I carry the guilt the burden it confirms I am right about being bad deserving punishment undeserving of happiness
I cried no i sobbed during the end of the process I saw I attract situations for punishment
What a revelation
I will continue to tap to feel compassion love forgiveness
Thank you
I know my pain is a result of past traumatic experience and muscle memory which over time has created automatic responses that increase inflammation in my body. I have been focusing on this issue and made significant strides. However, I have my moments and deal with chronic pain issues due to arthritis and a shingles episode a year ago. . This increases when I watch my grandchildren ( 5 days per week) but I manage.
When I did the tapping I noticed a reduction in pain level
My right shouder has bothered me for years, especially at night and what came up for me was my 1st husbands sudden death from a heart attack when I was 43….i am re – married to someone who is now physically ill and I have days when I wish Jerry was here…what life would be like if he hadnt died! I need to let him go and accept my life today with Burt! He is a great and loving man and I have days when I recent his handicap and get tired of being a care-giver.
I have worked through grief and anger in several different scenarios, realizing that life is much better now and that I can now feel grateful for those events, with compassion and forgiveness, and let go. What has now emerged is shame and anger with myself for getting into the situations in the first place, and I am now able to forgive myself because those mistakes contributed directly to where I am now, which is most definitely preferable to where I was before.
Thank you. It is shocking how powerful this simple technique is for relieving the emotional pain of an event that happened many years ago.
Thanks for your free meditation, is working. Thanks for your time. You have a lovably Day.
I thought I needed to go deep into my past to resolve something there. I have tapped for years on those issues. What I realized is that the issue at present is only 10 yrs old. The falling out of love w/my husband. I realized he no longer wanted to be my friend, but my caregiver. Which he is good at. But I’ve missed and agonized over losing my friend. I’ve settled for a kind of status quo. Our children have recognized “it”, and ask me to just suck it up. Today I tapped w/Nick and forgave my husband, but most importantly myself for limiting myself to play along in this unhappy role. I intend to be open to making myself happy. Who knows where the relationship will emerge. All I know is that continued tapping on this topic will help me feel safe and especially worthy of friendship/love. My intention is to gain my personal strength back and not expect others to make me happy, but to make myself contented w/myself and my life and also w/those other people in my life.
I loved the meditation I must say that The Tapping Solution works every time I do it the amazing thing is that when we practice it the moment “we loose it” the tapping is in our Conscious Mind ready to use some more and every time it helps me to move my energy to a better feeling place and immediately I get new ideas how to solve the issue simply said AMAZING!
Thanks Nick.
What came up during this meditation was that the pain in my back and shoulder are related to my fear of being in a group. “I am not safe when I am in a group. People hurt me”. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see it. It has been there for a very long time
nick and jessica ,thank you and all of your team,ye have completely changed my life.over 60years of emotional pain and self doubt are been desolved daily with all yer help .but for me its your genuine caring and words of kindness that have made all the difference.love and light to you all always .margaret
Hi Nick,
Thanks for this wonderful guided tapping recording. I instantly tried this after receiving your email and felt relieved. Sometimes, its so hard to let go off the past, especially when your loved ones are involved, that you try to cling to every possible memory of theirs. For past two years, i am trying to let go off my loss..and i know that clinging to old memories is not helping me, but my emotions still stirr up at times. Tapping has indeed helped me and this recording is like a ready reconner, can use it anytime.
Thank you so much!
wow this has helped me so much nick! a traumatic love event released from almost twenty years ago that i know has been overshadowing and affecting my present relationship. I feel peace now . I came to the understanding finally of why the ex partner did what he did. He had lost his much loved brother tragically in an accident and I remember the day he stopped his vehicle and turned to me and said “I love you more than anything I have ever loved before” and a week later he told me he had met someone else. Now I feel perhaps he couldnt handle our love and the thought he might lose it as he had lost his brother – i could never understand why he left me and now I think I do. It was only on painting the movie with love that this realisation occured and it showed me where i have also been very scared to fully love again in case of the intense loss again. All along in my present relationship I have pulled my partner close then pushed him away – again and again – yet I would have the odd “vision” of such a feeling of peace and contentment I could have with him but it seemed so far away – now its not now I understand. Thankyou for your work.
Wow! The pain went from a 7 to a 3! Thank you.
It helped me a lot. Thank you.
