Mindfulness - Face Tapping

According to the NIH, "Face tapping is a scientifically backed technique spanning two distinct fields: dermatology and neuroscience. In skincare, rhythmic tapping boosts microcirculation, stimulates lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness, and relaxes muscle tension. In psychology, it forms the basis of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which lowers the stress hormone cortisol and calms the brain's amygdala. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]" In this episode we'll spend five minutes breathing and gently tapping our way back to a state of calm. I use face tapping regularly to reduce tension, alleviate sinus pressure and eliminate circular thinking or negative thoughts. It is an excellent way to reduce anxiety and/or work through big emotions. If you have a topic you'd like us to explore, drop it in the comments.
