The Science: Supporting Your Body's Healing
When you're sick, your body is already working hard to heal. The symptoms you experience—fever, fatigue, congestion—are often signs of your immune system responding. Stress can interfere with this process by diverting resources away from immune function. Anything that reduces stress while you're ill may support faster recovery.
Research also shows that pain and discomfort have psychological components. The brain processes physical symptoms, and that processing can be influenced by stress, attention, and emotional state. Techniques that calm the nervous system, like Tapping, can reduce the subjective experience of symptoms—not by pretending they're not there, but by changing how the brain processes them.
These sessions are designed for when you're sick and just want some relief. They're gentle, they're short, and they target specific symptoms. They work alongside whatever else you're doing—rest, fluids, medication—to help you feel a little better while your body heals.
One session per symptom: Feeling multiple symptoms? Use multiple sessions. Each one is designed to address a specific discomfort, so you can create your own sick-day toolkit.

"Mid day at work today I felt a headache coming on and then sinus pain. I normally take a 12-hour med in times like this so I couldn't take it mid day because I would wake up in the middle of the morning in pain when it wore off. I took some ibu and sniffed some peppermint oil but hours later I was still in pain. I made it home and listened to Release Sinus Pain. During the Tapping, I didn't feel much relief in my sinuses but I did notice the tension in my body was relaxing. The session finished and I continued some slow deep breathing. I ended up dozing off for about an hour and woke up, pain free."

"Never have I gone from a 10 to 0 in one meditation! The upper respiratory healing one from my covid did just that! I was bunged up, stuffy pounding head, nose like a tap, not being able to breathe through my nose to suddenly being able to breathe through my nose and my sinuses cleared! I've still got bodyaches and controlling my fever but my head feels so much better!"
Sindhu
"I had a splitting headache since morning, and have to work tonight as I have a project release, but I decided not to take a pain relief tablet, just now I realised, why don't I tap, and I did the releasing headache meditation from the app, and I feel like I didn't have headache at all, unbelievable."
