What is Tapas Acupressure Technique?

Tapas Acupressure Technique also abbreviated as TAT is a method of releasing emotions from painful traumatic memories through acupressure, simple poses, and meditation.  TAT has been proven helpful for eliminating fears and phobias, weight loss, eating disorders, allergies, past trauma, and mental and emotional issues. TAT recipients also report feelings of deep relaxation, calm, and personal empowerment.  The recipient remains fully clothed and can either sit or lie down during the technique.  The pose is done by touching points at the front and back of the head.  The practitioner uses only the normal pressure of light touch on the recipient's face and the back of the head to stimulate certain acupuncture points. This helps heal energy meridians. The basic pose and steps of TAT are easy to learn and simple to teach. Based on the ancient teachings of Traditional Chinese Medicine and yoga, TAT is easily to assimilate by diverse cultures because of its basis in natural healing. Once you are in the TAT pose, you put your attention on a short set of seven steps which have been proven to be highly effective in eliminating the negatively empowering aspects of a trouble. A trouble can be a negative limiting belief, a stuck emotion, an allergic reaction and sometimes even a physical pain. After being in the TAT pose and doing the steps, you are delivered to a place of inner freedom, relaxation and peace. This process usually takes about 15 minutes.  By being in the TAT pose, the divine healing energy of life appears with healing energy. When your inner child is in the presence of that loving energy the resistance and stress dissapate.  All that remains is the inner pleasure of contact with that love.  Going back to that inner place of love and safety allows the person to connect with others without fear.  As a person does the TAT process, they usually experience greater peace with each of the seven steps. TAT was developed by Tapas Fleming in the nineties. Ms. Fleming is a licensed acupuncturist.  She describes TAT as "With one simiple pose and a few short steps, you cross the bridge that leads from mental and emotional turmoil to the calm repose of your true Self."
