What Is Tapping?

Tapping or Emotional Freedom Technique is an offshoot of acupressure (needleless acupuncture). It was developed as an adjunct therapeutic tool and has spread around the world, with decades as a documented change agent.

Why Are We Tapping?

Surrogate tapping, that is, tapping on behalf of another person or circumstance, has its roots in ancient long distance healing techniques, such as Reiki and prayer work. By acting as a surrogate for the rainforests, we not only free ourselves from whatever emotional blocks we have to living in harmony with Nature, but we also contribute to opening up possible solutions for this critical challenge. We are committed to tapping for the rainforests on a daily basis and to sharing this transforming change agent with as many people as we can possibly reach.

Why Now?

The United Nations is holding its Climate Summit beginning on December 7, 2009. Reports worldwide consider this summit to be the fork in the road for mankind. We are beginning this project in order to have a positive impact on the Copehagen Climate Summit.

The Story of Tapping for the Rainforests

We have been following posts on Facebook by the Prince’s Rainforest Project and were touched by the RainforestSOS campaign. In this campaign HRH Prince Charles, celebrities, politicians, environmentalists, and authors from all over the world share, on video, their hope for the future — the healing of the rainforests — on the advent of the Copehagen Climate Conference.

On the RainforestSOS website, the importance of the rainforests is outlined:

“Rainforests are precious resources for all of us – not just for the nations in which they are found. They provide vital ecosystem benefits for the whole world. They store water, regulate rainfall and provide a home to over half the planet’s biodiversity. But more importantly, they also play a crucial role in climate change. And that’s why we’re worried.”

On October 19, 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown “warned that the world is on the brink of a ‘catastrophic’ future of killer heatwaves, floods and droughts unless governments speed up negotiations on climate change before vital talks in Copenhagen in December.” He also stated that “there are now fewer than 50 days to set the course for the next 50 years.” It could very well be that everyone’s future, that the future of generations who follow, hangs in the balance. But, what can one person do? How can one person make a difference on such a complex issue?

If we could come together as one people, no matter where we were located, and do one thing that had the potential to change everyone’s relationship with the rainforests and open up numerous possible solutions to the problems facing the Copenhagen Climate Conference in early December, what would that be? We took these questions into deep prayer and meditation, as individuals, and were led to come together to create an innovative change agent that combines acupressure (needleless acupuncture), an ancient healing technique with a five thousand year old proven track record, and modern video technology. The product of this marriage is the video below, Tapping for the Rainforests.

The rainforests are calling. Our children are calling. Mother Earth is calling.
