The short answer is, we are not exactly sure!  To the best of our current understanding, it works by eliminating blockages in the subtle energy (or meridian) system of the body, rather like "clot-busting" drugs dissolve clots in blood vessels.  Somehow, when we combine our intention to heal with the transmission of kinetic energy down the meridians through the tapping, and we pay attention to the dynamic nature of your experience, we facilitate a change in your experience of the issue. But just as you can benefit from having a car and using it to get from Point A to Point B without being able to tear down and reassemble the engine, you can benefit from tapping without knowing exactly how it works. Thousands of people already have! What about the placebo effect? Is it possible that tapping may be working by using the placebo effect? Yes, for all we know. But if you get relief that you weren't able to get before, without the use of drugs, surgery, years in treatment modalities that don't work, unpredictable side-effects, and without having to leave the comfort of your own home, isn't that a wonderful outcome? Whether your current belief system predisposes you to accept the existence of the subtle energy body or not, we know from today's understanding of quantum physics that everything is energy.  Even things that appear solid to our five senses are, when you get down to it, mostly the empty space between the nuclei of atoms and their surrounding electrons.

Does all of this sound a little bit weird to you?!? Albert Einstein said, "Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance." The best way to for you to personally evaluate the effectiveness of tapping is to try it for yourself! If you come to the process with an open mind, work with an experienced practitioner, and carry as little attachment to the outcome as you can muster, you can be the best judge of your own experience and see whether tapping helps YOU! Is tapping painful and will the process hurt? No! In case you are wondering, please know that you don't have to re-experience traumatic events. I am careful to apply specific techniques to keep the process virtually painless.For example, what if the very thought of tapping on your issue creates a spike of intensity?  We will tap on your anxiety about tapping on the issue itself first, until you are able to visualize tapping on the issue without intensity. What issues, challenges, concerns, etc., can be tapped on? Meridian therapy practitioners like to try it on everything!  The results experienced by people around the world using tapping therapies suggest that there is nothing to lose and much to gain by trying and applying tapping on just about every conceivable challenge. In fact, if you click here there is a searchable database that you can explore to see if other people with issues similar to yours have benefited from tapping.
