Memory Improvement Through EFT Tapping: A Way to Boost Recall and Clarity

by Dr Peta Stapleton.

While memory loss is a natural part of the aging process, many experience memory issues for reasons other than aging. Stress, anxiety and depression can cause forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty concentrating and other issues that disrupt daily activities, and research suggests that we can ease memory impairments caused by stress with effective coping mechanisms like EFT tapping. Offering real client stories and outcomes from research, this is a comprehensive guide to EFT tapping. Focused on improving memory, it offers practical applications for tapping that can alleviate everyday forgetfulness (like difficulty recalling peoples’ names), supercharge learning processes in people of all ages, and treat dementia.  Available everywhere! Click on your favourite link below or shop in store. It is US$19.99 and comes with a range of free Tapping Memory resources!!!
