 TAPPING POINTS

Tapping PointsTOP OF HEAD: Hundred Meeting Points' Meridian

This is an important energy center as many meridians meet at the top of the head. It is also in the area of the Seventh Chakra or Crown, which is the spiritual energy center. Some say that stimulating this area wakes up the entire energy system and encourages the body-mind to pay attention to what we are about to address. This point is highly sensitive so be very gentle when tapping.
