Rescue Remedy Tapping Round

Historically, for the past 70 years, Dr. Bach’s Rescue Remedy has been used worldwide in times of great stress or tension. Unlike the common usage of the Flower Essences, this blend is not for long term usage for the sake of attitude adjustment but rather as a palliative in a time of crisis. This is how we use the tapping round.

Cherry Plum – Left wrist

Rock Rose – Collarbone hug

Impatiens – Top of head

Clematis – Under right eye

Star Of Bethlehem – Right wrist

Begin the tapping session by clearly forming in your mind exactly what you perceive your troubling issue to be: Are you frightened of something or someone?

Are you going through a particularly stressful situation? Distraught, anxious or worried?

Whatever you are experiencing, find the place in your body it is primarily expressing itself; is it a lump in your throat? A tightness in your chest? A ball of tension in the pit of your stomach? Then this will be your gauge for the effectiveness of the tapping.

Next you will go through the VERBaliztion aspects of each of the flowers below and pick out the one that hits closest to your particular issue. For instance, if you find yourself blowing up at your spouse, children, co-workers and such for no apparent reason and can’t seem to pinpoint the cause, you may find Impatiens to be helpful with its wonderful VERBalization of "...I choose to be calm and serene within myself."

Taking this as our cue we can turn this into our statement as we tap the KC (side of hand, at the Karate Chop point) at the side of the left hand with the first two fingers of the right hand and repeat three times while continuing to tap, “Because I deeply and completely love myself I choose to be calm and serene within myself.” You may notice I didn’t use the exact VERBalization statement from the Impatiens section. There is nothing written in stone here. Feel free to play with the statements and words adding and modifying as you feel the need.

For the “round” of tapping it is unnecessary to repeat the whole statement, just a key word or two will suffice; as you tap on each point simply repeat, “calm” or “peace”, a single word that speaks most clearly to your individual situation. Tap on each point, repeating the word, as much as you like before moving on to the next point.

Begin with the inside of the left wrist, tapping repeatedly and saying out loud, “calm” or whatever you have decided on as your desired attitude.

Next is the “Collarbone hug”. Fold your hands across your chest and feel for the ending points of your collarbones where they meet your shoulders. Tap alternately on each point, first one side than the other, repeating your word the whole time.

When you are satisfied there you move on to the point at the top (or crown) of the head.

From here you tap the “under eye” point just below the right eye, continuing to verbalize your word.

You will finish off at the inside of the right wrist having begun at the left wrist. You can now see why I call this a “Round”.

Check that tension spot. Is there any relief? You may repeat this as often and as much as you like, until you get the desired results. If you find no relief at all you may be dealing with deeper issues that may require a more in-depth treatment using EFT or other flowers.

Happy tapping and good health.
