l Lhlnk whaL we should do ls [ump lnLo whaL Lapplng ls, how lL works. 1hen l wanL Lo
hear from you how people can geL Lhe mosL ouL of Lhls evenL. LeL's sLarL wlLh Lhe baslcs.
WhaL ls Lhls Lapplng Lhlng, LhaL ofLen seems a llLLle blL welrd because you're Lapplng on
polnLs ln your head. WhaL ls lL?
nlck: AbsoluLely. l sLlll laugh aL myself when l wake up every mornlng and say, l'm dolng
whaL Loday? l'm Lapplng and sharlng lL wlLh Lhe world?!" 1applng, oLherwlse known as
Ll1, LmoLlonal lreedom 1echnlque, LhaL's Lhe form of Lapplng LhaL we're dolng. We call
lL Lapplng because we are llLerally Lapplng on endpolnLs of merldlans on our body.
We're dolng Lhls Lapplng moLlon whlle saylng cerLaln sLaLemenLs whlle focuslng on
whaL's challenglng us, whaL Lhe problem ls, whaL Lhe lssue ls.
l also llke Lo descrlbe lL as a comblnaLlon of anclenL Chlnese acupressure, LhaL's a
Lapplng componenL, and modern psychology.
!esslca: AbsoluLely. WhaL's so greaL ls wlLh every dlfferenL experL LhroughouL Lhe Len days,
people have dlfferenL dlsLlncLlons of how Lhey use Lhls. 8uL one Lhlng ls clear. lL's so
easy Lo experlence lL and anyone can do lL.
nlck: lL's one of Lhe Lhlngs LhaL drew me Lo Lapplng lnlLlally. As you know, !ess, l learned lL for
myself personally abouL a decade ago and LhoughL lL was welrd and was wonderlng
whaL l was dolng exacLly. 8uL l had an early experlence where l had some neck paln LhaL
l woke up wlLh, a crlck ln Lhe neck, and l sald, Why don'L l Lry Lhls Lapplng Lhlng on lL? l
keep hearlng how greaL lL ls for paln rellef."
So l dld. l looked up Lhe lnsLrucLlons onllne and l was Lapplng Lhrough Lhe polnLs. 1he
nexL Lhlng l knew Lhe paln was gone. lL was an experlence LhaL l know many people have
had wlLh Lapplng where [usL flve or Len mlnuLes and you feel a shlfL, and someLhlng
happens.
l goL so exclLed. As you well know, !ess, l spenL Lhe nexL couple of years sharlng lL wlLh
everyone, you lncluded. 1he runnlng [oke aL Lhe Llme, and l Lhlnk you guys sLlll Lease me,

!esslca: ?eah. lL doesn'L maLLer lf you're ln Lhe mlddle of a parLy, he wlll make you sLarL Lapplng.
lL's Lrue.
nlck: 1haL's Lhe genesls for our [ourney wlLh lL and maklng Lhe fllm and wrlLlng Lhe book and
dolng Lhe 1applng World SummlL. !usL share Lhe power of Lhls Lechnlque wlLh people
because lL ls so powerful, as we'll cover ln [usL a few mlnuLes. lL works on so many
dlfferenL Lhlngs and lL's so effecLlve. lL's really Laken Lhe world by sLorm.
!esslca: 8lghL. ?ou Lalked abouL havlng LhaL experlence wlLh paln rellef. Cne of Lhe reasons l
Lhlnk Lhls summlL has done so well and helped so many people ls LhaL people are
Lapplng whlle Lhey're llsLenlng, and Lhey're experlenclng Lhe resulLs for Lhemselves.

Cne of Lhe reasons LhaL l was lnlLlally a blL skepLlcal abouL Lapplng ls l heard LhaL lL
worked for paln rellef. lor me l'd seen how lL worked for sLruggles and Lhlngs LhaL l was
havlng Lrouble leLLlng go of, Lhe anxleLy and some anger and some dlfferenL
resenLmenLs and Lhlngs llke LhaL. lL really helped me move pasL a loL of Lhlngs.
8uL when you hear one Lhlng works for so many oLher Lhlngs, agaln, you can geL a llLLle
blL skepLlcal because you Lhlnk ls Lhls a maglc plll. Pow does lL work and how ls lL LhaL
Lapplng can work for so many dlfferenL areas of your llfe?
nlck: Such a greaL quesLlon. 1applng's been around for 30 years. lL was dlscovered by 8oger
Callahan ln Lhe laLe '70s. l Lhlnk lL was 1979. lor a long Llme Lhe dlscusslon around whaL
was acLually happenlng, why lL was worklng, was around Lhe energy sysLems ln Lhe body
and Lhe merldlan sysLems. lnformaLlon LhaL ls llkely accuraLe and one day we'll see,
Wow, we can acLually measure Lhese dlfferenL energy flelds and we see whaL's golng
on wlLh Lhe Lapplng."
lrom Lhe more sclenLlflc perspecLlve, whaL Lhe laLesL research ls showlng, really, daLa
LhaL's come ln ln Lhe lasL couple of years, ls LhaL when we Lap on Lhese endpolnLs of
merldlans on our body, so we Lap on our body whlle focuslng on Lhe sLress, Lhe Lrauma,
Lhe anxleLy, Lhe paln, whaLever's boLherlng us, we acLually send a calmlng slgnal Lo Lhe
amygdala ln Lhe braln.
A loL of people wlll be famlllar wlLh Lhe amygdala as Lhe flghL or fllghL" response cenLer
ln Lhe braln. lL's really Lhe sLress cenLer. lL's Lhe place where when we geL angry, when
we geL anxlous, when we feel Lhe sLress ln our body LhaL ls whaL's llghLlng up.
Cne of Lhe blg componenLs of whaL Lapplng ls dolng ls lL's deacLlvaLlng LhaL amygdala.
lL's sendlng LhaL calmlng slgnal. lL's releaslng LhaL sLress. lL's really ofLenLlmes re-
encodlng Lhe memory, l belleve, because you can have a memory of someLhlng. ?ou
don'L erase lL. ?ou sLlll remember whaL happened, buL you have dlsLance from lL. l sorL
of llke Lo use Lhe word charge ls gone from lL. 1he charge behlnd Lhe memory ls gone
from lL.
We're Lapplng on Lhese endpolnLs of merldlans, calmlng Lhe amygdala. 1haL underlylng
sLress response, LhaL amygdala flrlng, plays such a blg role ln so many aspecLs of our
llves.
!ess, l Lhlnk LhaL we all Lake lL for granLed. lf you ask people, Are you sLressed ouL, or ls
Lhe modern day sLressful? We say, Ch yes, of course, l'm so sLressed, l'm so busy."
SLress ls [usL a parL of our experlence, and sadly we Lake LhaL as [usL parL of Lhe norm,
parL of whaL we experlence ln our llves and lL's Lhe way llfe has Lo be.
8uL lL doesn'L have Lo be LhaL way. We can Lruly leL go of LhaL sLress, reduce lL or
ellmlnaLe lL compleLely. We can release Lhe pasL angers and resenLmenLs. We can leL go
of Lhe Lhlngs LhaL have been holdlng us back for so long.
lf people are Lhe famlllar wlLh Lhe paLLerns of procrasLlnaLlon or self-saboLage, we can
sLop Lhese paLLerns. We can geL Lo Lhe underlylng emoLlonal lssues behlnd lL. We can
geL Lo Lhe underlylng LraumaLlc experlences behlnd lL. We can calm LhaL sLress response
Lo have a dlfferenL experlence of llfe.

ln Lhls 1applng World SummlL we'll cover welghL loss and we'll cover relaLlonshlps and

all of Lhose Loplcs, lL's abouL happlness. lL's abouL how we en[oy llfe. lL's abouL havlng

ls whaL l belleve Lapplng can really make happen.
!esslca: 8lghL. l Lhlnk we're consLanLly underesLlmaLlng Lhe way LhaL sLress ls lmpacLlng us,
menLally as well as physlcally. WhaL's been lncredlble Lhrough my own experlence ls
LhaL Lhe more l Lap Lhe more you geL lL. ?ou geL LhaL LhaL sLress ls really lmpacLlng you ln
ways LhaL you've never lmaglned. So lL's lncredlbly empowerlng Lo have Lhls Lechnlque.
8efore we go lnLo exacLly how Lo Lap, l Lhlnk lL helps Lo Lalk a llLLle blL abouL Lhe hlsLory,
who sLarLed lL and how has lL evolved Lo where lL ls now.
nlck: AbsoluLely. l menLloned 8oger Callahan, who was a psychologlsL ln Lhe laLe '70s, who
was worklng wlLh a cllenL by Lhe name of Mary. She was a regular cllenL. Pe was a
LradlLlonal psychologlsL. She had a severe waLer phobla. 8y severe l mean noL [usL
scared of oceans and swlmmlng, buL scared of showers and baLhs and even drlnklng
waLer. lL was an ouL and ouL phobla.
8oger had been worklng wlLh her for abouL a year-and-a-half, havlng very llLLle success,
Lrylng cognlLlve behavloral Lherapy, exposure Lherapy, Lhe Lhlngs LhaL he had been
Lralned ln, and [usL wasn'L geLLlng anywhere.
ln facL, Lhe sLress of Lhe sesslons Lhemselves, as Mary Lalked Lo 8oger abouL her fear and
phoblas and where lL mlghL have sLarLed and Lrled Lo explore, [usL Lhe sLress lLself was
so much for Mary LhaL she would walk away from all Lhe sesslons wlLh a mlgralne
headache. She had Lhe waLer phobla Lo sLarL wlLh, and Lhen she walked ouL wlLh a
mlgralne headache.
As you can lmaglne, he was dlsappolnLed ln Lhe facL LhaL he couldn'L help her. MosL
people ln Lhose professlons are looklng Lo help people, looklng Lo geL powerful resulLs
for Lhelr cllenLs and Lhelr paLlenLs, and he [usL wasn'L geLLlng lL.
Cne day Mary was aL hls house for a sesslon. 1hey were slLLlng ouLslde looklng aL hls
pool. 1hey were uslng Lhe pool Lo Lrlgger Mary and do a llLLle exposure Lherapy wlLh lL.
Mary was looklng aL Lhe pool and sald, ?ou know, when l look aL Lhe pool l geL Lhls
queasy feellng ln Lhe plL of my sLomach. lL feels llke buLLerflles ln Lhere."
As lL happened, 8oger Lhe nlghL before was readlng abouL Lhe merldlan sysLem ln Lhe
body and had read LhaL Lhe sLomach merldlan ended underneaLh Lhe eye, LhaL Lhere's a
polnL underneaLh Lhe eye for Lhe sLomach merldlan. So [usL on a whlm, on an
lnsplraLlon, he sald, Mary, why don'L you Lry Lapplng underneaLh Lhe eye, dolng a llLLle
acupressure?"
She Lrled lL. She Lapped underneaLh Lhe eye, and nexL Lhlng you knew she says, lL's
gone." She sald, 1he feellng ln Lhe plL of my sLomach ls gone." She checked ln on Lhe
feellng of Lhe waLer phobla, and LhaL was gone as well. She was phobla-free [usL llke
LhaL.

lL's one of Lhose Lhlngs, you can lmaglne 8oger's asLonlshmenL LhaL day, havlng a cllenL
for a year-and-a-half and dolng Lhls welrd Lapplng Lhlng and Lhe phobla [usL cleared. ?ou
can lmaglne Mary's asLonlshmenL, how she dld Lhls Lapplng and someLhlng she's been
scared of for so long she was no longer scared of. 8uL now we know why. We know Lhe
reasons why wlLh Lhe amygdala ln Lhe braln and we see how by Lrlggerlng LhaL fear and
Lhen Lapplng she calmed Lhe amygdala and leL go of LhaL phobla.
8oger spenL Lhe nexL decade or so developlng Lhe Lapplng proLocol. WhaL he dld ls he
had dlfferenL Lapplng sequences for dlfferenL lssues. So lf you had anger you would Lap
on cerLaln polnLs, lf you had anxleLy you would Lap on oLher polnLs and so forLh.
Cne of hls sLudenLs by Lhe name of Cary Cralg Look hls sysLem, he was acLually meeLlng
wlLh 8oger and he sald, ?ou know, l Lhlnk LhaL lf we slmpllfy Lhls, lf we hlL all Lhe same
polnLs ln a row no maLLer whaL we're deallng wlLh, lL's easler Lo remember and lL's golng
Lo work greaL."
1haL was Cary Cralg's lnnovaLlon. Pe developed Ll1, whlch ls a form of Lapplng LhaL we
now use, whlch ls slmpler ln LhaL once you learn Lhe Lapplng and Lake a few mlnuLes Lo
learn lL and flgure ouL whaL you're Lapplng on. 8uL once you know Lhe Lapplng sequence
Lhe Lapplng never really changes. WhaL changes ls whaL you're focused on, whaL Lhe
challenge ls, Lhe way you approach lL verbally and so forLh.
!esslca: 8lghL. We llke Lo call lL Lapplng because everybody has Lhelr own dlsLlncLlons on how Lo
use lL, buL we deflnlLely are ln Lhls summlL followlng Lhese nlne polnLs.
nlck: ?eah. eople ask someLlmes, whaL's Lapplng versus Ll1? l llke Lo descrlbe Lhe Lerm
Lapplng slmllar Lo a Lerm llke medlLaLlon. 1applng ls a general name for everyLhlng we're
dolng, whlch means LhaL Ll1 ls a form of Laplng and 1l1 ls a form of Lapplng. CLher
people have Lhelr own dlsLlncLlons. 1hey're all forms of Lhls Lapplng process. !usL llke
medlLaLlon you have all Lhe dlfferenL klnds of medlLaLlons. eople have Lhelr own names
for lL. 1here's vlpassana, Lhere's Lhls, Lhere's LhaL, and Lhey're all forms of medlLaLlon.
l Lhlnk Lapplng ls [usL really Lhe umbrella Lerm for any process where we are Lapplng on
Lhese endpolnLs of merldlans whlle speaklng ouL loud whlle focuslng on a challenge.
!esslca: CreaL, nlck. l would love Lo [ump lnLo Lhe Lapplng. lor everyone LhaL's llsLenlng, [usL
Lake a deep breaLh ln. CeL cenLered and ready because nlck ls golng Lo Leach you how
you can sLarL Lapplng for yourself. nlck, Lake lL away.
nlck: Wonderful. We're [usL looklng here Lo have a baslc experlence [usL so you can feel Lhe
shlfL ln your body. 1haL's one of Lhe greaL Lhlngs abouL Lapplng ls LhaL lL's noL someLhlng
you have Lo spend an hour or Lwo hours or Lhree days learnlng and saylng, does Lhls
really work? ?ou're golng Lo feel an experlence very qulckly.
1o sLarL wlLh your flrsL experlence, l'd love for you Lo elLher plck Lwo Lhlngs Lo focus on.
Cne ls lf you're feellng physlcal paln ln your body rlghL now lL can be a greaL LargeL
because lL's very easy Lo see a shlfL. ?ou're elLher ln paln or you're noL ln paln, or lL's

lf you feel really relaxed and loose and you don'L wanL Lo focus on your body, [usL plck

1hen we also wanL Lo glve lL a number on a 0 Lo 10 scale ln Lerms of lnLenslLy, so 10
