In this episode, I’m going to bring tapping expert Alex Ortner to the show to talk about exactly how tapping can benefit us. The first time I heard about tapping, it was a little bit of a unique stretch for me. It was out of the normal and I was super confused about what it was, but at the Brendon Burchard mastermind that I went to a couple of months ago, I got to meet Alex and his sweet wife, and it completely opened my mind up to tapping.Alex is the chief marketing officer and co-owner, along with his brother Nick and sister Jessica, of The Tapping Solution, LLC, a company with a mission to bring into the mainstream a simple, effective, natural healing method known as Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or “Tapping.” Alongside his siblings, Jessica and Nick, Alex developed the Tapping Solution App to make this powerful stress relief technique accessible to anyone around the world. With over 200 Tapping meditations to choose from. The Tapping Solution app makes it easier to use tapping to lower stress levels, reduce anxiety, get motivated, get better sleep, eliminate negative emotions and much more! The app has had over 1.6 Million completed tapping sessions, with over 200,000 people having used the "Releasing Anxiety" tapping meditation showing an average 41% decrease of anxiety in just 9 minutes.He produces first-of-their-kind online programs such as The Tapping World Summit, a free annual worldwide online event that has been attended by over 2.5 million people over the last 10 years. He is also the author of the children’s book “Gorilla Thumps and Bear Hugs: A Tapping Solution Children’s Story”, and speaks to teachers and students through his foundation on how to use tapping to create balance, relieve stress and get better results in the classroom.
