Tap Stress Away

Tapping is a meditation technique that is closely related to acupressure. By tapping on certain points of our body, we can release feelings of stress or shame and shift our mood. Join us for a beginner’s tapping exercise today. Voiced by Elisha Mudly.

Takeaways:
1- We all experience negative emotions—it’s part of being human.
2- For some of us, negative emotions can be compounded by feelings of shame or stress because we think that we “shouldn’t feel this way” or need to “snap out of it.”
3- Tapping can help us explore, accept, and release negative feelings, rather than staying caught in a cycle of avoidance.
