“Melissa (current Tapping Tuesday host) is a patient teacher who works with the participants to let them discover that they can help calm their bodies by holding/tapping on specific points on their heads, hands, and body. It feels so good to be in the tapping circles. I know that I feel much more relaxed after attending them.” – GT Staff

Students’ Voices

“I find myself continually returning to is the tapping technique we learned. It is becoming more and more of a habit. For example, during exams when I am feeling stressed, I like to do the brushing motion between my hands. That specific rhythm helps me focus and recall information I had studied.”

“The guest speaker who taught us about tapping had a lasting impact on me. My grandma had actually introduced me to tapping techniques before, so hearing about it again in class felt like a nice connection to her.”

“A guest speaker who left a lasting great impression on me was the one who presented the tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) via Zoom. Her lecture was during the Helen hurricane, a stressful time with all the rain and thunderstorms, so learning about this technique immediately reduced my stress level at
that time.”

“The Tapping technique is cool too! I used to do acupuncture or messaging acupuncture point (as part of Chinese medicine), so I was very curious and excited to learn how certain small spots of our bodies could be so critical to our wellbeing.”
