Unknown (00:06):
Welcome to chatterbox radio. Where are you? My
drumsticks are my car. Welcometo chatter three. Thinking about
it. I was like you the Broncoshere
(00:29):
Jordan stop some tapping. Whereare you tapping? Where are you
doing when you're nervous?
It's like a like, I guessdrumming. I was always it's
fingers. It's not wrist. So Iwould do finger exercises like
this. I remember when I workedin the restaurant industry, I
would walk around tapping thepalms of my hands and like
practicing periodontal, so belike, Periodontal periodontal
(00:51):
periodontal periodontal, what'sa pair of dental it's like, it's
a certain like Phil fordrumming. And it's something
that like, I remember Chriswould always show me like, Okay,
this is what you have to do.
It's super cool if you can do itfast. So I would just sit there.
And then it became like ananxious thing. Now, I think,
where I realized, like, now ifI'm trying to like, I don't
know, it's I feel like veryanxiety driven. Yeah, they give
(01:12):
you more anxiety. When you dothat. It might like you know how
you'll say like, when you likemove your leg, like leg like leg
spasming. Nathan does that. Andit drives me nuts. Yeah, because
he will move the whole couch,like his whole body is like
moving. Or like, we'll betalking and I can just see it in
the corner of my eye and his hisleg going up and down. And I'm
like, stop. I like put my handon his leg. And I'm like,
(01:35):
telling him to stop. And you'lljust keep going with my hand on
there. Yeah. So I imagine it'sprobably not helping. So I
realized that I like like thisnow too. Like, we're all like,
kind of shuffle. My hands areall kind of like, tap my thumb
and my pointer finger. Yeah, Ido it all the time even walking
the dog like walking from, like,my front door to the grass. I'll
be like, we're just tapping?
(01:58):
Do you do anything else foranxiety? Like to manage your
anxiety?
Um, I like to read. I know, thatseems. It just focuses my mind.
Yeah, it's better than watchingTV or sitting on my phone. So I
remember when you were tellingme like one of the things that
really helped you. So you werejust talking about it yesterday.
(02:21):
And you were saying how you knowyourself so well, that you know
that if you don't keep your mindbusy on a task or doing
something, that if you have athought that you'll go attach
yourself to that thought, and itwill send you down a negative
path. And I think that I'vealways been like that. And
(02:41):
that's where, like, even when Iwas a kid, I would second guess
everything. And I was never goodin school, like school was super
hard for me. I couldn'tconcentrate ever in school. And
then I think it was just more ofjust like, than I knew I wasn't
good at school. So just focus onthat. So like were
presentations, likepresentations in front of people
at school was the worst, like,my dyslexia would come out. My
(03:05):
like, everything would come outin the span of like me being
nervous. That's where it kicksin. Like, I can't read when I
get nervous. And then I would bepresenting in front of people.
And then it looks like I'd belike, Oh, they think I'm stupid
or yeah to read. And then itwould just be like, I would be
pulling on my fingers. Like Iremember my parents would try to
help me. And I would like pullon my toes. Or I would like I
(03:26):
actually ripped my pants onetime because I was so like
pulling on it when I was a kidwith a child. And it was like
because I was nervous telling mymom It was like one of those
times where like when you tellyour parents like, do your
projects do the night before andI totally pulled one of those.
Yeah. And I was like, Mom, yougotta get a presentation board.
And I remember her being sofrustrated. And I remember
crying and freaking out like,this is my fault. And I rip the
(03:48):
pocket off of my pants. That waslike pulling on it for years. So
I have to focus on stuff now.
Like so I feel like maybe thetapping is like me focusing on
something so I'm not so focusedon like, even walking the dog.
If someone's sitting in the car,like walking like watching me
walk the dog. I'm like, Oh mygosh, are watching me. And I
know they're not so I'm likeokay, let's start tapping. Just
gonna start talking my fingers.
(04:10):
That's an unconstrained onpractice on something. Yeah. But
it used to be like something Ineed to focus on it, or I'm
going to be gone. Yeah, it willthrow my whole week off kind of
like what you said this morning.
Like how you felt like youmessed something up? Yeah, it
will ruin my whole day. I thinkabout it all day long or
something happens before I go tosleep like, Oh, I know. I'm not
sleeping tonight. Yeah, yeah.
(04:34):
Well, one of the things I wantedto tell you about was tapping
meditation. I just learned this.
I was hired to do five differenttapping meditations for a
meditation app. I was soencouraged when I got that
audition because I've beenlearning about tapping
meditation and how it can helpsleep anxiety, even like craving
like relief. Maybe you don'twant to leave it Yeah, the first
(04:59):
one I did was called cravingrelief, like you're just wanting
relief from whatever it is maybeaddiction. And addiction can be
a thought it can be a substance,whatever the meditation app was
specifically for people who aretrying to wean or get off of a
drug. And so the first one wascraving relief. It was giving
them an option to go somewhereelse besides that. And then the
(05:23):
next one will be sleep. But Iwant to focus on that one. But
before I do, I want to explainwhat tapping is. Because since
I've started doing this, I'vehad a lot of people say, Oh, my
gosh, that's something I can dowherever I am. And it doesn't
cost me anything. And I don'thave to have a prescription. So
what is it? Is it spiritual? Isa medical, like, how does that
(05:48):
affect you?
So what is tapping meditation?
Well, tapping minute, there'sdifferent types of map tapping
meditation, the one that Ipractice, and the one that I did
on the meditation app is calledEFT. And it stands for emotional
freedom technique. And it's atap to relieve stress, burnout,
(06:11):
anxiety, help you sleep calmdown. So you can do it before
you go to bed. You can do it,say you're at their grocery
store or in your car, whereveryou need to, you can do it.
Is it like? Do you have to do itfor a certain period of time? Or
is it just like something yousit in your car and be silent?
And just tap? Like a certainpoint?
(06:32):
Very good question, Jordan.
There's nine tapping points onyour body. So what you do is you
take you know your fingers onyour right hand, you want to do
that, yeah. And you can do thefour fingers or just two
fingers, and then take your lefthand, and you're going to tap
start tapping the meaty part onthe outside of the karate chop
(06:53):
point, you just start tapping.
And then I will give you somephrases to say, and you'll just
repeat it after me. And we'llrepeat each phrase at each
tapping point, and I'll move youthrough it. Acupuncture uses
needles to apply pressure tothese energy points. The EFT
(07:13):
uses fingertip tapping to applypressure.
So it's like applying pressurekind of as the, the needles
apply the pressure into yournerves. So this would be
Yeah, so it stimulates your bodyand it stimulates that part of
your brain, the amygdala. That'swhere your thoughts kind of get
stuck. It helps you process yourthoughts. Here's an example. Say
(07:37):
you're laying in bed and youcan't sleep and you have a
problem with anxiety or insomniaor whatever it is. A lot of
times, it's because we have athought that gets stuck. And we
can't get past it. Or thinkingabout the future or the past or
the problem, or whatever it is.
So when you start tapping, itstimulates those areas in your
body to help you process it. Soyou're speaking out loud, and
(07:59):
you're tapping on these points.
And it's helping you feel andmove through those emotions. And
then you're coming back on topof that with a positive tapping
affirmation that's now helpingyou move past the emotions and
starting to stimulate that partof your brain that makes you
(08:20):
feel better.
How long does it take for you tocalm down? Does it depend on the
person? Well,before every tapping meditation,
you should rank your anxiety,your insomnia, your pain, and
rank it from zero to 1010 beingthe worst to say you were a nine
and you're like, Okay, I'mfeeling like I'm at a nine at
the end of that very short,maybe 10 minute tapping
(08:42):
meditation, you would assessagain. So where is my level now?
Am I F or you know, and then youcan do the round again. And you
can do it as many times as youlike, until you feel a lot
better or calmer. A lot oftimes, it just takes one time.
Sometimes it will take severaltimes. I'm gonna try it. You do?
(09:05):
Yes, do it.
Welcome to your space. Thistapping meditation is a tool for
you to use in overcominganxiety. It's a great way to
(09:25):
relax, release and help to moveout of the loop of the monkey
mind. Before we get started,let's review the tapping points
and how to tap tapping on thebody's meridian points since
calming signals to the brain,turning down the brain's stress
response, so you can let go ofstress and find more balance,
(09:48):
calmness and ease to moveforward. We use a set of nine
tapping points for a traditionaltapping sequence. To start, take
two fingers on your right hand,tap outside the edge of the left
hand on the karate chop pointand begin tapping. Now use both
(10:10):
hands to tap on the beginning ofyour eyebrow, where the hair of
the eyebrows begin that'sclosest to your nose. Now tap on
the side of the eye. Tap on thebone directly along the outside
of both eyes. Now continue bytapping underneath the eye on
(10:31):
the bone on both sides. Nowswitch to using just one hand
and tap directly underneath yournose just above your top lip.
Now tap on the crease of thechin. Now we will tap at the
collarbone point. To find thispoint, start at the sides of
(10:55):
your collarbone and down oneinch. You can use both hands to
tap or spread one hand to reachboth sides. Now lift your left
arm and tap underneath yourarmpit right on the side using
two fingers. Now move you'retapping to the very top of your
(11:18):
head, you can use all yourfingertips to gently tap in this
area. We start by focusing onthe anxiety and honoring the
truth of how we feel. So comewith me into your safe space,
just you no one else. Take a bigdeep breath in through your nose
(11:49):
and out through your mouthif you are right handed, take
your right hand and take yourtwo fingers, start tapping the
outside edges of the left handon the karate point. As you tap.
Either say this out loud or toyourself. Even though I feel
(12:11):
anxious, stressed andoverwhelmed. I deeply and
completely accept who I am andhow I feel.
Take the two fingers that you'vebeen tapping with and tap on the
(12:34):
beginning of the inside of theeyebrow. Repeat after me. I'm
very anxious and very stressedout. Move that tapping over to
the side of your eye where thebone curves around and continue
saying I have so much anxiety Ican't see what to do next.
(13:05):
Continue tapping underneath theeye on the eye bone and say I'm
so confused. I don't know whatto do. Tap on the top lip
underneath the nose and say it'sso overwhelming. I just want it
(13:26):
to stop. Tap on the chin. I'vegot so much going on. I don't
know how to continue my day. Nowtap underneath the collarbone on
the sides and say this anxietyis taking control. I feel it in
(13:52):
my body and my mind.
