The goal of tapping is to dissolve these blocks in the physical energy system. With the help of a soft tap on certain points on the body we add energy and bring back the flow. We feel more aware and are better with staying in the moment, where we are: The stimulus does not automatically evoke the usual reaction, but it is redirected by us.
However, it is important to understand that tapping is not about avoiding or "tapping away" negative emotions, or to create exclusively positive experiences. Negative feelings fulfill a purpose. What we are looking for is to detect unwanted emotions faster and passing them through our system, actively processing them to better manage the original situation and the entailing emotions.
This way, we can actively balance our system and draw strength from within.
