Video: Watch Maggie Tap Away Her Pain in Minutes

Written by: Nick Ortner

Imagine you’re a flight attendant and a passenger purposely trips you as you. walk down the aisle because he was upset at you for something. You fall so hard that must quit doing the job you always wanted to because of the long-term physical pain.

That’s what happened to Maggie, who you’ll see in the video below. Maggie always loved to fly. For her, being a flight attendant was her dream job. Now, she deals with constant pain from her fall, the frustration that she can’t work doing what she loves, and anger towards the person who purposely tripped her.

But could she release her pain? Could she use EFT Tapping for it? Is it possible to release the pain, frustration, and anger?

Maggie was brave enough to join me on stage a few weeks ago when I was speaking in Washington, D.C. at a Hay House event. With just a few minutes of Tapping, she was able to release her physical pain in a way she hadn’t done since that day.

I’d like to show you that video footage today. As you watch the video, ask yourself…if Tapping could help her this much in just 10 minutes, what could it do for you? What things could Tapping help you to release and let go of that would allow you to move forward in a way you’ve never been able to do before?

I hope you enjoy your day. And remember…Keep Tapping!

    I had pain round my ribs after a very bad fall and had a very painful night, having to get up at 5 a.m. to sit in a chair for the rest of the night. After tapping I really could not believe that I had no pain after goimg to bed the following night. I keep tapping to sustain the relief. Many thanks.

    Praise God! I wonder if it would work for my pain.

  3. Cheryl says:

    Thanks for allowing me to learn more about this work!

  4. Linda T. says:

    Amazing! I am (was) sitting here in pain myself, tapping right along with the flight attendant in the video and as she released hers, I released my pain too. Awesome and I can move my neck much better. You are so generous. Thank you!

    i have been out of work coming on two years now. It’s been hard. The doctors don’t seem to know why I am lightheaded. Im on my third neurologist and still no results.

    My lightheadedness has always been an 8-10 depending on the day. Today it’s .5. I always follow along with these videos of course substituting words . I am so grateful.

    I had a sudden back pain yesterday that started out low & increased the closer I got to going to a StandUp2Cancer viewing event in my city. I lost my husband 4.5 years ago to colon cancer. When I woke today, the pain was excruciating! Opened my email & found a link to a video sent by you; talk about synchronicity. I tried tapping along with you & the lady you were helping. Then I linked into another video by you on pain relief. I began tapping & realized I was feeling anger & grief & despair over what cancer had done to my husband & me (I’m a 2 time breast cancer survivor). Did 3 rounds of tapping & targeted those feelings. The pain is now gone! I think I am now a believer in the power of tapping!

    Nick you are a magician.

    I am crying as I type this. I am happy for this women but I too suffer from pain every day and it has consumed my life. I have tried every natural thing I can think of and some tapping. I have constant headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, pain in my fingers and wrists and other joints. It seems the pain lessens at times but moves around too. I am always dealing with some sort of stress and am in pre-menopause also. Trying to juggle our finances and always something needs fixed and I hurt too much to work to contribute extra money. My husband too has bad shoulders and knees but still has to work so we don’t loose everything. Which of course makes me feel quilty that i’m not just sucking it up and working too. I feel sooo bad for him and do everything I can here at home to contribute. If I could have some better direction on specific things I need to say while i’m tapping i’m sure this too could help me. Thank you!

  10. Ingrid says:

    I’m starting to believe I can do it too!

  11. Boots says:

    Good for her. I’m sure if she keeps tapping, she’ll go on with a better life.
    I watch and participate in all the videos you send and they have really helped me as I tap along, even if I’m not focused (which is the norm for me), I have personally had great results.

  13. Jo bell says:

    Amazing!! Wish I’d come to see you when visiting my friend in New Milford in July, now back in Ireland , il keep tapping!! Thank you

  14. Sunil says:

    I had stopped tapping for some time as we shifted residence to another city and I was caught up. Yesterday my knees were paining as we’d done some sight-seeing in the rain. I saw Maggie’s video and kept tapping while watching. I’m back to my normal self this morning, feels great, Thank you Nick.

  15. Beth Degenaar says:

    Incredible! I too fell through someone else’s carelessness and hurt my lumbar spine where I had already had fusion with rods and screws. Recently, a year later, of progressively worsening pain affecting hips and legs, someone drove into the back of my vehicle and I suffered whiplash which caused further damage to my cervical vertebrae where degeneration had already been evident.
    The nerves to my arms and hands are now affected.
    What did this video mean to me? It gave me hope! Hope that miracles of healing can and do take
    place.
    Thank you, Nick, for introducing EFT Tapping to so many of us who lived in total despair of our current pain and fear of what the future might hold with continuing worsening of our conditions.
    I am now another hopeful and trusting believer in the effectiveness of EFT Tapping!

  16. Rhea says:

    Simply amazing. I got the book detecting solution and DVD in the mail on Friday at this into the DVD last night I was able to have my daughter listen to it with me or watch it with me and she was astounded this evening were going to sit down and go over the book and I’m just hoping that she’ll be able to benefit from this. She is active-duty in the army and right now she’s having so much problems with pain you don’t know if it’s arthritis rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia for loop is they don’t know and trying to explain it to them it’s very hard meanwhile she still has to function at optimal capacity. If there are any more retreats that will be happening anytime soon can you please send me an email so I would do all that I can to make sure my daughters their. I’ll take care of the children so that way she can be there thank you. Army put so much stress on you and then for her to be not well has to be very painful mentally as well as physically and I just want to be there to help thank you

  21. Faith says:

    Thank you Nick for all you do! No matter what the trauma, you help us all to fly again.

  22. Judy says:

    Thank you Nick!!! I was introduced to tapping some years back by a therapist, but, she never took me through it like you do. I didn’t really understand what I was doing. I’m reading your book and have watched your movie and tapping has become part of my life. I became re-introduced to tapping when you were on the call for the Miracle Group. I will continue to use it in all areas of my life. I hope to come and see you in person some time. Love and Blessings!

  23. Pat says:

    Amazing!

  24. David says:

    .

  27. Georgette says:

    This was a great way to see the tapping at work at a live event. I have been using the tapping on and off and have seen great proof that this method works.

    It was wonderful to see how this woman was able to get some relief after many years of being trapped in the pain and the anger. I know she will continue to have pain relief with tapping.She now has an amazing tool that will help her now and in the future.

    I was able to release some pain in my back while I was tapping along with them as well.

    I love this method and I talk about it wherever I go and just gave my son my book and video to help in some areas he has been struggling.

    Thank you for the video and allowing us to tap with this women in helping her to relieve her pain and anger.

  28. Sheila says:

    This is a very emotional video to watch. I am convinced that EFT works and I will try it in my own life to release the stress which I feel in my working life.

  29. Lynn Woods says:

    OH WOW! I have used tapping on my own minor pains and it really helps, but for something so severe it must feel like a miracle.

    I am using the surrogate tapping script/audio that Jessica did to help my son who has severe stomach pain, but who wont do the tapping himself, and I have noticed that he has had fewer symptoms since I began Tapping! This is an amazing technique!

    I hope that one day my son will agree to try tapping and will see a trained EFT therapist.

    Thank you for what you and Jessica do to help the world!

    Hi Nick,
    I have seen a lot of people commenting on your blog and facebook, and the expanse of comments during the Hay House World Summit and thought who is going to read my comment which is probably just one among the 100. But today when I was watching this video, I thought regardless of if you or Jessica are reading this or not.. let me put it out there and trust that the universe communicates this you.. if not the words, but at least the energy of gratitude I feel.

    Firstly, thanks so much for sending us daily reminders about Tapping. I’ve subscribed to your emails and also liked Tapping Solution (and Jessica, she is a delight) on Facebook. One of the things I first felt when I started receiving your emails was.. I thought why is this guy using Hay House to market so much of his business.. and why is he sending sometimes 2 emails in a day. WTH. If I don’t want to tap, why should I read these emails today. This is after I subscribed to the email list, after I attended The Tapping World Summit. I listened to a lot of people during the summit and just superficially understood that tapping can be used for everything.. from finances to charity.. business to weight loss. And when I tapped with some of the experts, there was not much impact for the first couple of months. But something told me this is a very effective process. And when I tapped with Jessica during one of her weight loss videos last month, I saw myself crying. I had no connection to that emotion before that.. I thought it was helplessness so long but more often than not, when I replay the weight loss tapping videos.. I realise I feel scared, angry and sometimes sad. I am so grateful to you for opening up that process for me.. although ‘I’ did it, it wouldn’t have happened because of you.

    At no point did I unsubscribe your emails, but would accumulate them unread. I’d read them after 3 days later.. and one day I thought.. if this guy is so diligent about this process, he must be another Louise Hay with a different process. Then, I remembered how Jessica mentioned on the Tapping World Summit about how you used to talk about Tapping for any issue to a point it annoyed your friends. I mean, I’m not sure she said exactly that.. but she said something on the lines of.. Oh Nick would be like Tap about this Tap about that, Tap for everything. I really connected with that.. cuz if you were so passionate and have strong conviction about something, I thought, there should be something to it! And it resonated with me, cuz I am that hellbent when I believe in a process. I have felt that about psychotherapy when I first started going to a therapist when so many people in my country thought going to a psychologist meant you were mentally disturbed. Well, now I have the conviction to say.. who isn’t?! 🙂

    I am so naturally drawn to Tapping now.. cuz I didn’t watch any other movie other than The Tapping Solution last week on the Hay House World Summit and I listened to Jessica yesterday too. Oh I listened to you earlier last week..

    Before all that, after the Tapping World Summit, I had found an EFT practitioner close to where I live and even went for the monthly meetup last week. I am not sure how all this came together, but I recognise that Tapping has become a part of my life. I started looking for a practitioner, I started tapping along with your online videos, and more and more Tapping came to my life. And I see more and more people talk about Tapping.. cuz even Reid Tracy something about, you can use Tapping to clear out that process when he was on radio. 🙂

    Sometimes, honestly, it is still too much information to take in. I am on the HayHouse World Summit too, so imagine getting daily emails from them also.. somewhere I felt the good part of the globe is almost forcing me to be better, change for the better, express my greatness.. you know? I wrote that in my morning journal today. Sometimes I feel angry that the world expects greatness out of me, when I am battling staying normal and it’s like ‘how do I be extraordinary!’, you know? Like some great person said.. that we are actually afraid most of our greatness. Right? I want to tap on that sometime. Being afraid of my own greatness.

    However, today when I saw your email.. I am not annoyed looking at your emails anymore.. I thought let me write to this guy and let him know how grateful I am to him and his sister. You guys are such inspiration.. although I am not in a position right now to afford buying the MP3s from the World Summit, I will be soon.. I keep feeling so grateful for all the free content you provide. And how consistently you insist how effective Tapping is, and remind each one of us. I mean, who woulda thought I would be tapping like a monkey.. and what a playful process (this I learnt yday when Jessica said, it could playful.. and I thought Tapping was always serious!) Even my husband caught me in the bed one day, and was like, what are you doing, (eyebrow raised!) I had to tell him, oh nothing, just a little process. But it is little by no means cuz I was tapping on a stomach issue and I knew that is the exact thing I would want to tap on when I met the EFT practitioner last week.. and like I told her, it felt like the purpose of the pain has been identified during the process and it is the perfect time to let it go. I am honestly grappling with letting it go, cuz it has been about 7-8 years I have been holding on to that pain, and I am tapping now to feel safe even without the pain. This is a physical pain, but mostly emotional cuz of the abusive components it has. Anyhow, I am continuing to explore if I need a practitioner to help me.. and that’s why I so appreciate the email about finding help, that you sent a couple of days back.

    It felt like you are sending exactly what I thought and need, and felt so grateful about it. In fact, Nick.. you are such a blessed soul.. cuz EFT is not a new process but you have revolutionized it to the world. And the whole world knows Tapping = Nick Ortner now not Gary Craig or Callaghan. Sigh. It’s been a great pleasure watching you work with people live, and listening to your talks.. I love Jessica too.. she is such a vibrant soul.. but for her, I am not sure I would have felt attracted towards The Tapping Solution.

    I will continue to look for what you have to post everyday, which reminds me to tap on a daily basis.. and keep insisting on this journey! I love how you do that.. and I am so grateful to be living during the time when such phenomenal processes are available, and heal myself. I can not just in a word or two express how grateful I am, and I hope you continue to touch lives like you did mine. Gracias! Sending blessings and love to everyone who has begun their healing journey.

    The more I try Tapping, the more I trust…it is a marvelous, easy to do, and effective tools in our lives.
    Thank you so much for all the examples you provide.

  32. Veronica says:

    Oh Nick, you are so great! It’s not only the process of tapping, but how you genuinely, honestly care for the people. I love you from the bottom of my soul! Thank you! I can’t wait for you to be in the Atlanta, Georgia area sometime.
    All the best to you!

  33. Lauren says:

    It is such release to tap through my anger toward those jackasses (city authorities-bullies) who had done me wrong.

  35. Eileen Yacyno says:

  36. Jane Smith says:

    Thank you Nick. I was so angry myself over something I in another I just can’t change nor have the right to but watching this helped me tapp myself and find release and forgiveness for us both. Jane

  37. Lauren says:

    This video gave me such hope that I can deminish my pain.

  38. Linda says:

    Do u have specific programs for 1) surviving sexual abuse and 2) going thru a suicide of your parent who abused you?

  39. Laraine says:

    This was amazing. I could feel her pain and emotion about the incident.
    What a jerk. Tapping is great and it really works.
    Thank you Nick for sharing.

  40. Rudolf Stroessenreuther says:

    Hello Nick,

    I am always surprised With Tapping. I was doing it a lot but then stooped for no reason> I will take it up again, because I had a total Knee replacement on my left Knee.

    The operation was successful but now after 6 Months wen I sit down and get up again
    I am in terrible Pain behind my Knee it takes about 1-2 minutes before I can stand straight. Do you think tapping will help this??

    Kindest regards

    Rudolf

  41. Rose says:

    Thanks for a great presentation, Nick 🙂 It was a good reminder to tap for anything!

  42. Lisa Manzi says:

    Felt very emotional as Maggie told her story and very happy it helped her back pain. I am not sure of the long term benefits of this as there was still pain there at a level 3. I wonder if the tapping using our own mind control to reduce the pain, am I on the right track?

    I am thinking of going for EFT myself in the UK and would be interested to know it’s long term benefits.

    many thanks,

    Lisa

  43. Divna says:

    wonderful, really wonderful when you help someone, the video reminded me of many moments I had in my practice where I felt happiness and gratitude to those who’ve helped. I think it was taping a very efficient and powerful. Thank you, Nick.

  44. Norma DeJ says:

    What a great session you had and your guest was so blessed with relief. She can have hope that her life can be sooo much better. And I’m glad you brought out that a tendency would be to argue what doctors and others have done and said that led to a life built around pain. I’ve seen that be the case often. Apparently I have 5 vertebral compression fractures, osteoarthritis, degenerating discs and I don’t even like to give those doctors reports because I’m not having it! I told God I had 30 more years here so this was unacceptable and He had to give me a new spine!! I’m not in pain. I stand up straight, wear heels and go about my business and smile. I’m helping people and myself with tapping. Thanks for all you do.

  45. Clarisse says:

    As I watched the video I felt Maggie was very polite as to what her assailant did to her and what she called him. However, I have been plagued with a sore left shoulder and in fact a week ago I thought I might have been having a heart attack, after a visit to the hospital it wasn’t Anyways, as I watched and did the exercise with you lot of emotion about a fall over a wheelchair back In October came up. The pain in the chest and shoulder had gotten to a 7,8 this past week. As I followed you and Maggie after it was all done it was down to 1,2 and when it starts up I just tap and it settles it down. I had not realized that I was still feeling very stupid for not following what we had learned at work about safety just the week before I fell over the wheelchair. Doing this with you and Maggie was an incredible journey.

  46. komala says:

    I have been tapping for sometime now. I read your book and watch the video you send and I have personally felt tapping has helped me a lot.The presentation was good and we loved watching you and Maggie.

  47. Mary says:

    Nick I strongly believe in EFT and would love to include this techniques in my field as an MFT Intern (at this time) and/ or become an EFT Practitioner. Could some one contact me through my e-mail with the information and if there are any grants available for the studies. At present time I am seeking for employment as an MFT Intern. Thank you and look forward hearing from you or your staff.

    Sincerely,
    Mary Elizabeth Mercado, MFT Intern

  48. Jane Baddoo says:

    The pain in my back is related to years of lifting as a nurse in hospitals and emotionally related to the verbal abuse and distancing of my mother who wanted to be a nurse but never became one herself. I have 3 herniated discs and severe sciatica down both legs and numbness. It was a 7/10 when I started watching and a 4/10 after watching.

  49. Melanie says:

    Brought up my anger toward my husband and how my depression gets really triggered when he says critical things to me or yells at me. My immune system is also not so good either. Kidney stones, C-diff have all been things I’ve dealt with this year…and my father in the hospital for 7 months.
    My depression is coming out big time
    When I listened to this I couldn’t stop crying. I kept tapping through the crying. The psychic/emotional pain isn’t completely gone, but I’m not as sad. I wish I could get rid of it for good.

  50. Laurette says:

    We just loved this presentation at Pasadena. We thought that you deserve the most loving support in your desire to help the world with this effective technique.
    Quick Question:
    Did you change the listed location of the event that Maggie appeared to protect her identity? We were at Pasadena when she appeared on stage.
    Keep up the good work
