What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You? Using EFT Tapping for Stress, Tension & Emotional Release

What if the tension, tightness, discomfort, or emotion you’re feeling in your body isn’t something you need to fight… but something you can get curious about?

In today’s episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, I’m sharing a powerful session from my recent Learn to Tap training all about EFT Tapping and the body.

One of the things tapping has taught me is that our bodies are constantly communicating with us. Sometimes it shows up as tension in your shoulders. A knot in your stomach. Tightness in your chest. A feeling of heaviness or resistance you can’t quite explain.

Instead of immediately asking, “How do I get rid of this?” I want to teach you to ask:

“If this part of my body had a voice, what would it say?”

Inside this episode, I walk you through a simple tapping process to help you tune into what you’re feeling, identify the emotion underneath it, and begin moving from resistance into release.

You’ll learn:

• The four questions I ask before beginning a tapping session

• Why specificity can make such a difference in EFT

• The difference between following a tapping session and actually facilitating one

• My three stages of tapping: venting → releasing → receiving

• Why you don’t want to force positive affirmations before your body is ready for them

• How to ask your body what it may be trying to communicate

• How to use sensations, colors, shapes, textures, and emotions to go deeper with tapping

• Why the question “How do I want to feel instead?” can completely change the direction of your inner work

You’ll also hear an incredible conversation with Tapping School graduate and practitioner Shannon Winchester, who shares her personal experience of living with chronic pain for approximately 25 years and what unfolded when she began using tapping around grief and the emotions she had been carrying.

Her story is such a beautiful example of why I believe learning this work can be so powerful—not just learning how to follow along with someone else's tapping, but developing the skills to listen, ask better questions, recognize patterns, and facilitate the process for yourself and others.

Try this today

Close your eyes and notice where you feel tension, discomfort, heaviness, or resistance in your body.

Ask yourself:

What am I feeling?
Where do I feel it?
How intense is it from 0–10?
Why might I be feeling this way?
If this part of my body had a voice, what would it say?
And how do I want to feel instead?

Then tap with me through the episode and notice what changes.

Your body doesn't need to be your enemy.

It can become one of your greatest guides.
