Bilateral Tapping – An assistive flow to stress and anxiety through Tactile Tappers

Do you feel like stress and anxiety are constant companions? Are you searching to find effective tools for emotional regulation?  Bilateral tapping, a practice rooted in psychological and physical well-being may just be what you have been searching for.  Tactile Tappers are a tool to aid and support the bilateral tapping practice. In this Blog, we will explore the benefits of bilateral tapping and how it can enhance your emotional health.

What is Bilateral Tapping?

Bilateral tapping involves tapping on specific points on the body which stimulates both sides of the brain. This method can be performed on various parts of the body, including the face, torso, and hands. To support bilateral tapping we have invented a device called Tactile Tappers.

Tactile Tappers provide a focused bilateral experience. Small enough to use in pockets, Lycra pocket belts or slipped into socks. Tactile Tappers can be programmed for strong or soft pules, fast or slow pulses and short 5-minute sessions all the way to an hour-long session. 

Bilateral Tapping and stimulation have a long-proven history.

For thousands of years bilateral tapping has been practiced in traditional Chinese medicine.  Bilateral Tapping can be associated with techniques like EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Therapists use bilateral stimulation in EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing therapy) as discovered by Francine Shapiro PhD, in the late 1980s.

Benefits of Bilateral Tapping

One of the most immediate benefits of bilateral tapping with Tactile Tappers, is the ability to reduce stress and anxiety. Tapping can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress, leading to a feeling of calm and relaxation. Many users have reported a significant decrease in their anxiety levels after just a few sessions of tapping, making it an accessible tool for those facing everyday stressors.

Enhancing Emotional Regulation

Emotional awareness helps individuals develop healthier coping strategies, and as we master the positive affirmations we can then respond to challenging situations with greater emotional stability. As you begin your bilateral tapping sessions start small and build up your strength and ability to consider tackling your bigger emotions more confronting challenges.

Consider one of these phrases to say as you embark on your first sessions of Tactile Tapping (or one of your own):

How to Get Started

• Set time aside for yourself in a quiet space just 10 minutes any time of the day. Prepare your family and friends with the idea that you are going to be taking time for yourself. (Increase as you get better and more focused)
• Identify Your Focus: Purposely choose a positive thought to manifest for yourself.  Thinking about an issue or emotion you want to address can come later. This is something you will be able to tackle once you have built some strength in your healthy emotional awareness.
• Position yourself comfortably sitting or lying down. Hold the Tactile Tappers in your hands for your first few sessions. As they are a blue tooth device the two tappers need a clear line of communication. Strangling the tappers will block the ability for them to ‘talk’ to each other alternating the tapping, if this happens just relax your grip, this is an added feature to assist the calm you are trying to achieve.
• Prior to starting, personalise your desired tapping intensity, rate of tapping and time of your session.
• Consciously breathe deeply into the session. Relax your shoulders and give your body a little shake to loosen any tension you may be holding onto. Purposely repeat a phrase that brings you strength or calm depending on your personal needs of the moment.
• Allow yourself to fully experience any emotions without judgment as they arrive in your mind. Remember to repeat your mantra and allow the tappers to assist the emotions to flow through you as you continue breathing deeply.
• Repeat your session as time permits.
• Breathe and Reflect: After a few rounds of tapping, take a moment to breathe deeply and reflect on any shifts in your emotional state.
• Practice Regularly: Like any skill, consistency is key. Integrating tapping into your daily routine strengthens your emotional wellbeing.
