The Power Of The Subtle: Tapping and Transformation

bodytalk techniques philosophy tapping Sep 03, 2024

Have you ever had the experience of way over-doing something, only to discover later that the tiniest of effort was all that was required? 

You run all over town to find that thing that was in your kitchen drawer all along. 

You make a huge deal out of an assumption when all you needed to do was ask a clarifying question. 

You hit the ground running when you really just need to breathe and come back into your body to know what to do next. 

Well, my friend, you are not alone. It is a common misperception in modern, western culture that the big is better than the small; that the greater the force, the greater the result. 

Yet more often than not, this couldn't be further from the truth. 

The more in tune you become with your own body and soul, the more you discover that subtle adjustments are in fact, the most powerful. 

Energy Medicine...demystifying towards simplicity 

Subtle changes on an energetic level are the tenets of many ancient healing systems and what we have come to call Energy Medicine. Indigenous people and wisdom traditions have always relied on the power of the gentle, energetic realm- ceremony, prayer, song, hands on application. It seems as though the further humans have gotten from nature and the natural way of the body-spirit, the more intense the approach has become of what is thought to be required to heal or alter a pattern. 

The truth of the matter is, all of life is energetic, intelligent, nuanced and highly influenced by the power of subtle energies, intentions and approaches. 

We as a people are not nearly as dense as we have been led to believe. 

Tapping Updates Your Entire System

A common practice you see in both ancient and modern healing modalities is Tapping. 

A gentle tapping of the fingers over a specific body part or location in the energy field. 

Through the medical-industrialized model (conventional medicine) lens, this could be seen as inefficient. That is because it is functioning under a belief system that the body is a hard wired machine, only responding to strong, forceful methods of ‘taking command’. What we know through the wisdom of the ages and the expanding discovery of quantum physics is that the body is actually a very wise, highly intelligent system of consciousness, relationship and spirited forces. 

You are a living ecosystem, ever responding to and adapting to the world around you and your inner terrain- which includes your beliefs and thought patterns.

These patterns are central in how you experience yourself and your life. 

These patterns are actually a large part of what is tended to in much of energy medicine, including the highly refined and simple technique of tapping.  

In BodyTalk, tapping is THE METHOD of informing and communicating with your body's intelligence to upgrade its system. 

Just like a computer can run old programs and requires occasional updates, so does your body's patterning. 

You want to be the most current, present and vibrant version of yourself, right? 

This is where the small yet POTENT action of tapping comes in.  

Tapping Creates Powerful Changes

So how does this actually work? You may be wondering.

It sounds good and all, but how do you really know it's doing anything? 

This has been a huge area of study in the Bodytalk system and many other cutting edge healing modalities. After thousands and thousands of hours of research and clinical study- the results have been observed time and time again. 

You can feel it when you practice Cortices our 90 second Brain Balancing Technique, right? The gentle calm, the deepened state of presence and connectivity. Try it right now and feel it for yourself. 

In Bodytalk we tap the 3 brains to introduce, remember, integrate and assimilate healthful changes. 

The Head Brain is tapped to introduce standing waves, or interference, to disrupt dysfunctional patterns in the brain's electrical functioning and bring in more aligned options. 

In the process, the body's intelligence stirs, so to speak, and has the chance to re-evaluate its way of being and state of health. It is invited to bring in the updated frequencies of the treatment or intention, making corrections to its base orientation. 

Tapping brings issues to awareness and opens up the space for healthful changes to take place. 

Next, the Heart Brain is tapped to bring those changes into integrated memory. The heart is intimately connected with every cell of the body and is the location of deep memory. After changing the brain wave on a computer-like head-brain level, descending to the connected memory palace is the next step in the process. 

Synthesizing and integrating into the heart allows the updated patterns of information and direction to be broadcast through the electrical and emotional intelligence channels to the rest of the body. This delivers the message of - this is how things are now

Then you begin to live from this new intelligence like you “know it by heart.”

Lastly, the Gut Brain is tapped to fully digest and assimilate this new information at a base level- from here all other communications throughout the system are able to be integrated on a foundational gut level. 

The gut is where ultimate decisions are designed to be made from. You consult your head and your heart, allowing your gut knowledge to make the final call from its intricate and fully developed wisdom and embodiment of what is ‘right’. 

One of the guts most important jobs on a consciousness level is to separate the ‘pure from the impure’. This is discernment. 

Discernment is among the most important qualities of wisdom. 

It's right there in your gut, being activated and stimulated through tapping. 

The Power of the Subtle

As you are discovering through the technology of tapping and the incredibly deep effects it has on the refined intelligence complex that is the human body and psyche; you can rest assured that subtleness has nothing to do with lack of effectiveness. 

On the contrary, I invite you to explore and play with this fluid and life-giving concept of subtlety. 

Where does a smile say all that needs to be said? 

How can you lighten up and listen at a heart level for more nuanced guidance to your curiosities? 

When does the power of the subtle come whispering in your ear, directing you in strange and wonderful ways to a more embodied, connected and magical experience of your life and relations? 

Allow your body's intelligence to guide you in your greatest path of becoming, and tap in those changes with great loving care.
