New research + updates from the Tapping world you'll want to know about ⬇️

Hi Gini,

Big things are happening in the Tapping world right now, and I wanted to drop you a quick roundup of what's new.

🎯 Quick Hits:

Tapping Goes Mainstream – We've been so encouraged to see Tapping featured more and more in major outlets! Over the past few months Tapping has been discussed on The Science of Happiness podcast from the Greater Good Science Center of Berkeley, and also in this TODAY show article. We even heard that a character on the new hit TV show Doc did some Tapping in a recent episode to ease her anxiety. So exciting!
A Deeper Dive into Memory Reconsolidation – Remember that short video we shared a while back on how you can "edit" old memories? Well, it struck such a chord with so many of you that we made a longer, more in-depth version. You can check out the full video here.
No Better Time to Practice Gratitude – With Thanksgiving just around the corner, this is the perfect time to tap into gratitude. Our 21 Day Gratitude Series in the App isn't just feel-good fluff; it's backed by research showing gratitude practices can rewire your brain for more happiness and resilience. Give it a try this month! (If you start the 21 day series today, it will take you all the way through the month!)
Opportunity to Tap with Jessica 1-on-1: Jessica's new Tapping Solution Live show has been a huge hit. If you want your own chance to work 1-on-1 with Jessica and be a live caller on the show, you can submit your question here. The next show will be posted to YouTube next week, so keep your eyes out for that on our channel :)

💡 The Big Insight I'm Thinking About This Week: The "Tap While It's Happening" Rule 💡

The single most effective strategy for rewiring your reactions? Tap while the pattern is active.

Neuroscience shows us that a memory or emotional pattern is only changeable when it's "unlocked," meaning you are actively experiencing it rightnow. This is the golden window for memory reconsolidation (watch the video from above for more on that).

When you feel that flash of anger or the slow burn of resentment, your nervous system has just opened the file. Tapping at that exact moment allows you to edit the file before it gets saved again.

What to Do: Don't wait until later to tap on the argument, the frustrating e-mail, or the irritation. If you can, excuse yourself for 60 seconds and tap while you're feeling it.

You're not suppressing the feeling; you're metabolizing the emotional energy on the spot so it doesn't get stored in your body.

Until next time... Keep Tapping!
