00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:04.500
Hey there. I am doctor Jill Weiner. I am a board certified physician,

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:06.980
conscious health meditation teacher,

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:09.380
an EFT tapping practitioner,

4
00:00:10.719 --> 00:00:15.495
podcast host, author, and anti racism educator and allyship coach.

5
00:00:15.655 --> 00:00:21.515
And I am so excited to be talking to you today about the wellness app, which is an incredible

6
00:00:22.055 --> 00:00:22.875
stress reduction

7
00:00:23.494 --> 00:00:23.994
resource,

8
00:00:24.695 --> 00:00:26.075
that I am offering.

9
00:00:26.615 --> 00:00:29.435
I wanna first thank you to for taking time

10
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:33.840
out of your busy day to watch this video and for

11
00:00:34.220 --> 00:00:37.600
starting to consider or getting further along considering

12
00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:42.225
taking time for yourself in terms of your own wellness and quality of life.

13
00:00:43.265 --> 00:00:44.484
Tapping is,

14
00:00:45.105 --> 00:00:50.484
an evidence based stress reduction modality that can be used for so much more than just stress.

15
00:00:50.945 --> 00:00:52.964
It is based in acupuncture

16
00:00:53.265 --> 00:00:55.045
and traditional Chinese medicine.

17
00:00:55.950 --> 00:01:00.130
And instead of using needles, we actually use acupressure or tapping

18
00:01:00.590 --> 00:01:01.250
on different

19
00:01:01.710 --> 00:01:04.849
energy centers or meridians on our face and chest.

20
00:01:04.910 --> 00:01:07.730
And these are scientifically validated energy centers.

21
00:01:08.305 --> 00:01:08.805
And,

22
00:01:09.265 --> 00:01:13.125
what we do is we have whatever it is that is distressing for us,

23
00:01:14.065 --> 00:01:15.365
we say out loud

24
00:01:15.985 --> 00:01:18.384
and tap on these points as we're saying it out loud.

25
00:01:18.384 --> 00:01:22.240
Now we're generally used to perhaps hearing, don't say negative things.

26
00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:29.300
You shouldn't feel negative things or or focus on the positive because if you think about negative things, you're just gonna be feeding that.

27
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.300
Now while I don't advocate for being negative all the time,

28
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:35.220
if we do not

29
00:01:35.655 --> 00:01:42.715
process our negative emotions and allow ourselves to have the full range of human emotions, it can be really toxic for us physically and emotionally.

30
00:01:42.855 --> 00:01:47.095
So tapping is a really great way. It's also called the emotional freedom technique or EFT.

31
00:01:47.095 --> 00:01:52.009
It's a really, really great way to sit with our uncomfortable emotions and process them in a healthy way.

32
00:01:52.390 --> 00:02:02.170
And the way it works is that as we're tapping and saying the distressing things out loud, we're sending calming signals to the stress center of our brain that actually rewires the way our brain is processing

33
00:02:03.110 --> 00:02:03.585
stress

34
00:02:04.385 --> 00:02:06.565
and distressing stimuli, which is amazing.

35
00:02:07.505 --> 00:02:09.444
Tapping is great for so many reasons.

36
00:02:10.384 --> 00:02:14.225
First off, it can be done in a lot of different settings. It can be done one on one.

37
00:02:14.225 --> 00:02:18.005
It can be done in groups. It can be done interacting with a recorded video.

38
00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:20.470
It works very quickly.

39
00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:25.110
So it can work in as soon as, you know, five or ten minutes. It can give really good,

40
00:02:25.730 --> 00:02:27.430
symptom management of

41
00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:32.630
a distressing emotion. So sadness, anxiety, fear, guilt, any and or any other emotion

42
00:02:32.965 --> 00:02:34.265
in just a few minutes,

43
00:02:34.644 --> 00:02:40.504
that can feel a lot less intense, and the benefits can last a really long time. I also love that

44
00:02:41.525 --> 00:02:43.144
there are very few side effects

45
00:02:43.605 --> 00:02:44.344
other than,

46
00:02:44.885 --> 00:02:45.385
yawning,

47
00:02:45.765 --> 00:02:46.965
sighing, and,

48
00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:56.410
sometimes some tears will come, and that's a sign that we're activating the parasympathetic nervous system and moving some of these negative emotions and and and, distressing

49
00:02:57.030 --> 00:02:57.530
symptoms

50
00:02:57.830 --> 00:02:58.810
through our body,

51
00:02:59.110 --> 00:03:00.330
and releasing them.

52
00:03:01.114 --> 00:03:08.415
Tapping is also great because you don't have to do it regularly, so you don't have I I do, also teach meditation, which is done twice a day

53
00:03:08.715 --> 00:03:11.034
through the practice that I teach and that I do.

54
00:03:11.435 --> 00:03:14.474
But tapping, you don't have to do on a regular basis to benefit from it.

55
00:03:14.474 --> 00:03:16.495
You can do it for the first time and get benefits.

56
00:03:16.500 --> 00:03:19.560
You can do it once a week, once a month, once a year, and still benefit.

57
00:03:19.940 --> 00:03:20.680
And, also,

58
00:03:22.100 --> 00:03:24.900
you can do it regularly, or you can just do it as needed.

59
00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:34.105
So if something really distressing happens or upsetting happens, you can tap and feel better, and then it's a tool that you can put away and take out when you need it.

60
00:03:34.485 --> 00:03:37.305
It's really good at fitting into the nooks and crannies

61
00:03:39.205 --> 00:03:44.610
of a time. So we all we all are very many people have very full lives.

62
00:03:44.610 --> 00:03:47.190
We might say we're busy or we might say that it's a full life.

63
00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:54.150
And it may feel like we don't have the time to do a practice like this, and so tapping can fit into the nooks and crannies of when we actually have time.

64
00:03:54.530 --> 00:03:55.270
And, also,

65
00:03:55.970 --> 00:04:00.955
for me, meditation is amazing, but what I've learned is that there's no one tool that's gonna

66
00:04:01.415 --> 00:04:02.475
fix everything.

67
00:04:03.015 --> 00:04:05.495
First off, we don't need fixing. We're wonderful as we are.

68
00:04:05.495 --> 00:04:09.355
Second off, there's just not any one thing that's gonna make everything feel better.

69
00:04:10.135 --> 00:04:15.690
And so I like multiple modalities, including meditation and tapping and things like self compassion

70
00:04:16.070 --> 00:04:17.209
and then other lifestyle

71
00:04:18.149 --> 00:04:19.130
things as well.

72
00:04:20.230 --> 00:04:27.930
The, the tapping is a process, a practice that can be done on demand and particularly in the wellness tap, you're gonna have

73
00:04:28.605 --> 00:04:36.945
a a stacked library of resources on demand at your fingertips that will help you through very specific emotionally distressing situations.

74
00:04:37.805 --> 00:04:39.025
The tapping points,

75
00:04:40.205 --> 00:04:42.145
are here on the side of the hand,

76
00:04:43.430 --> 00:04:45.850
the top of the head back towards the back of the head,

77
00:04:46.389 --> 00:04:48.810
the inner corner of the eyebrow right here,

78
00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:51.210
side of the eye,

79
00:04:52.150 --> 00:04:53.210
under the eye,

80
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:55.610
under the nose,

81
00:04:56.790 --> 00:04:57.530
the chin,

82
00:04:59.324 --> 00:05:00.065
the chest,

83
00:05:00.845 --> 00:05:04.685
kind of at the below the you go to this little notch here and down an inch and over an inch.

84
00:05:04.685 --> 00:05:09.085
So right here, and you can tap like this or cross over, however you want to do it.

85
00:05:09.085 --> 00:05:13.260
And then the last one is under the arm where a bra strap is or would be.

86
00:05:13.340 --> 00:05:16.400
And I like to tap like this. You can also reach around and tap

87
00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:19.920
however you wanna do it, whatever is most comfortable for you.

88
00:05:20.940 --> 00:05:26.640
Tapping can be used, and and those are the tapping points, and we kind of go through those in a rhythmic cyclical way.

89
00:05:26.995 --> 00:05:32.194
You don't have to I take all the guesswork out of it for you so you don't have to figure out what to say or where to tap.

90
00:05:32.194 --> 00:05:37.095
It's a it's a call and response thing where I will do it, and you'll just kind of follow along with what I'm doing.

91
00:05:37.235 --> 00:05:40.935
And I'll give you suggestions on how to make any modifications that you might need.

92
00:05:41.930 --> 00:05:46.110
Tapping is used for so many things. It's so, so, so versatile.

93
00:05:46.650 --> 00:05:48.110
It's used for trauma,

94
00:05:48.730 --> 00:05:49.550
for PTSD,

95
00:05:50.010 --> 00:05:52.270
phobias, to process COVID trauma,

96
00:05:53.835 --> 00:05:59.375
difficult emotions that come up in any aspect of life, including anxiety and and some depression.

97
00:05:59.915 --> 00:06:04.795
It's really great for acute, new, and chronic pains, a pain you've had for a long time or new pain.

98
00:06:04.795 --> 00:06:07.055
No matter what the cause is, it can still help.

99
00:06:07.400 --> 00:06:08.620
It's great for processing,

100
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:09.819
relationship

101
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.759
difficulties or perhaps, you know, difficult interactions you've had or,

102
00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:19.819
it could also be used to process the end of a marriage or a breakup,

103
00:06:20.280 --> 00:06:22.699
the, you know, death of a loved one,

104
00:06:24.175 --> 00:06:25.875
a child going off to college,

105
00:06:26.655 --> 00:06:28.515
lots of different ways that we can,

106
00:06:29.535 --> 00:06:34.335
use tapping also to address self limiting beliefs and and, making difficult choices.

107
00:06:34.335 --> 00:06:36.815
So there's so, so, so many different ways to to use it.

108
00:06:38.150 --> 00:06:38.730
And it's

109
00:06:39.270 --> 00:06:44.950
really a respite from a lot of the overwhelming feelings that we might experience in the world today.

110
00:06:44.950 --> 00:06:49.110
It's a it's a pretty chaotic world out there, and it it can get to you.

111
00:06:49.110 --> 00:06:57.495
So it's a really great respite from that, and it can also help you feel better very quickly in a way that is processing the emotion and not running away from it.

112
00:06:57.955 --> 00:06:59.495
I first learned about tapping,

113
00:07:01.555 --> 00:07:05.735
in 2017. I was teaching my meditation course at a conference for women physicians,

114
00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:14.290
And some of the other guests there were a psychologist and psychiatrist who use tapping for their PTSD patients at the, VA.

115
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:17.169
So for veterans who have trauma from, from

116
00:07:17.550 --> 00:07:18.050
combat.

117
00:07:18.845 --> 00:07:19.345
And

118
00:07:19.965 --> 00:07:20.445
I,

119
00:07:20.925 --> 00:07:22.925
met a practitioner and I, and I loved it then.

120
00:07:22.925 --> 00:07:27.665
And I didn't I thought about doing some additional training. And then I met a woman here in Atlanta.

121
00:07:28.205 --> 00:07:33.210
I was going through some personal, pretty intense personal stuff. And after one session with her,

122
00:07:34.090 --> 00:07:38.190
I felt like myself for the first time in months, and that was pretty massive for me.

123
00:07:38.250 --> 00:07:46.669
And so I worked with her for about a year and a half and then decided I wanted to become a practitioner, trained with her, and then have gotten, a lot more additional training as well.

124
00:07:46.835 --> 00:07:51.075
And it's helped me with so much. It's helped helps me in the moment with difficult emotions.

125
00:07:51.075 --> 00:07:53.655
It helped me with a lot of my self limiting beliefs around,

126
00:07:54.115 --> 00:07:55.095
love and relationships.

127
00:07:55.555 --> 00:07:57.495
It's helped me with difficult interactions,

128
00:07:57.955 --> 00:08:02.699
with family and friends. And I use it also a lot in the, anti racism space.

129
00:08:02.699 --> 00:08:09.340
I do a lot of work in that space, and it's part of what I do in my own personal journey and my outward work, and it's also part of what I do.

130
00:08:09.340 --> 00:08:12.000
I I help the people in my anti racism education

131
00:08:12.635 --> 00:08:16.335
using tapping as a way to process the uncomfortable emotions that come up for them.

132
00:08:16.715 --> 00:08:21.995
What you're gonna get in the wellness tab is access to a tapping resource library.

133
00:08:21.995 --> 00:08:26.420
There's different topics, and then there's specific tapping sequences within that topic.

134
00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:34.120
So you're gonna notice when you when you join that the top the topics are very specific, and that's because the more specific you get with tapping, the better.

135
00:08:34.260 --> 00:08:37.059
And all of the different topics are are able to be modified.

136
00:08:37.059 --> 00:08:40.155
And in each video, I give examples of how you might modify it.

137
00:08:40.395 --> 00:08:47.055
So not only are you getting access to this on demand resource library where if you have an emotion, you can go look and find the right emotion,

138
00:08:47.435 --> 00:08:51.515
the right tapping meditation and do that anywhere between ten and fifteen minutes.

139
00:08:51.515 --> 00:08:54.415
You get $200 off any tapping

140
00:08:54.870 --> 00:08:56.630
packages with me or $75

141
00:08:56.630 --> 00:09:02.330
off of any your first one time tapping session if you wanna try out one session for a package.

142
00:09:02.870 --> 00:09:07.510
And you also get free access to my introductory online tapping course called Tap In.

143
00:09:07.510 --> 00:09:11.815
That's a $59 value. Also, some really great built in accountability tools.

144
00:09:11.815 --> 00:09:19.675
So there's so much something they can access right away in the privacy of their own home without getting anyone else involved, and there is a ton of resources.

145
00:09:19.735 --> 00:09:21.195
I already mentioned this, but

146
00:09:21.510 --> 00:09:24.710
but it may feel overwhelming. Like, what is this tapping thing? And how do I know?

147
00:09:24.710 --> 00:09:25.510
You can try it out.

148
00:09:25.510 --> 00:09:30.170
And if you don't like it, you can always just cancel your membership, and there's no there's no commitment.

149
00:09:31.190 --> 00:09:37.755
There's no prorated months, but as long as you cancel before the next, before your build again, no worries there.

150
00:09:38.535 --> 00:09:41.255
And you also don't have to worry. I'm doing all the work for you.

151
00:09:41.255 --> 00:09:44.714
So you don't have to think about what to say. You don't have to think about where to tap.

152
00:09:44.855 --> 00:09:49.915
You can just follow along the guided meditation guided tapping meditation with me, and

153
00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:52.940
you feel better, and then you go about your day.

154
00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:59.020
Anybody is eligible to join the wellness tab as long as you are open to trying a new modality or maybe continuing

155
00:09:59.400 --> 00:10:01.100
continuing with the modality that you,

156
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:02.860
already know and like.

157
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:03.820
And

158
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:05.100
I am

159
00:10:06.435 --> 00:10:07.175
so excited,

160
00:10:07.955 --> 00:10:08.855

consider and and be a part of this program.

162
00:10:12.435 --> 00:10:15.715
