These numbers might shock you

The Tapping Solution

Nick Ortner at his desk writing a personal note to you

Hi Gini,

I want to share some numbers with you.

In one study, a single, one-hour Tapping session reduced cortisol levels by 43%. The control group who received psychoeducation? 19%.

In another study, 90% of veterans with PTSD no longer met the clinical criteria after six weeks of Tapping. The control group? 4%.

And in a pilot study, one hour of Tapping changed the expression of 72 genes (genes related to immunity and inflammation).

I know Tapping can sound a little strange if you've never tried it. Tapping on your face while saying words out loud? It seems too simple.

But the research isn't simple. It's specific, measurable, and honestly kind of remarkable.

My brother Alex put together a video that walks through seven different studies like these. You'll see what the brain scans actually show. You'll hear from researchers, doctors, and real people who've experienced these shifts firsthand.

We're just a few weeks out from the 2026 Tapping World Summit. Each of the 20 presentations is brand new this year, and this video is one of the best ways to understand why Tapping works before you dive in.

P.S. One of the studies looked at sleep. After just four group Tapping sessions, 73% of participants with poor sleep achieved "good sleep quality." If you've ever stared at the ceiling at 2am, that number might interest you.
