Hello listeners, we are finally back today with a rapidín episode. I come solo to talk about this pandemic we're living in and also to share with you what EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or also known as Tapping is.During this episode we go over what my thoughts are on the virus and we close with a quick introduction to tapping and a quick tapping round to release stress and bring in joy for the day.To look at the tapping points, you can go to gum.co/pamcircletap and you can also leave a donation for the tapping circles I've hosted during this time. One thing I didn't mention in the episode is that as we tap, you will feel your body release the energy in different ways. You can yawn, burp, sneeze, cough, and/or cry. As we tap along, allow yourself to release, that is your body's way of letting go of that which no longer serves it.You can find the Hawkins Scale of Emotions in this post.----Please note that EFT is NOT used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or psychological disorder. EFT is not
