The greatest advantage for all Pet Parents right now is the time we get to spend with our Pets during regular work hours. Whether we're busy with calls or working hard at our desks, it's comforting to have our pet on our lap or as a cozy footrest. Just watching them sleep brings a big smile to our faces, making us forget everything else for a moment. This situation has also been beneficial for pets who feel uneasy staying home without their humans around.


While it's wonderful that things are improving and offices are reopening gradually, it's a mixed feeling for those whose pets suffer from separation anxiety. Additionally, some of us have become so accustomed to being around them all the time that we feel guilty about leaving home even briefly. To be honest, I work from home, yet I feel bad doing anything that involves leaving our dog alone at home. Fortunately, my husband notices my flimsy excuses to avoid going out and ensures we do step out occasionally.


Sometimes, our Separation Anxiety is greater than theirs, and that's not healthy either. EFT/Tapping is an excellent tool to address this. It's a very simple technique where you gently Tap on specific meridian points to relieve physical and mental issues.



" Tapping is a combination of Ancient Chinese Acupressure and Modern Psychology that works to physically alter your brain, energy system, and body all at once"- Nick Ortner


How to do Tapping ?


Tapping is akin to tidying up a house. To achieve this, we must acknowledge the presence of dirt and recognize that we've accumulated some unnecessary items. We begin by identifying what requires cleaning or removal and then imagine a flawlessly clean house. We need to trust in the possibility of a spotless home and feel as though we're already inhaling fresh air.


STEP 1: Begin by identifying everything that needs to be removed. Start with Undesirable Emotions related to the specific issue. For example: I am worried that my pet will be anxious when I return to work, or it makes me sad to leave my cat alone for 8 hours a day.


STEP 2: Next, identify all Limiting Beliefs associated with the issue. For example: He can never be rid of Separation Anxiety.


STEP 3: Think about what will replace what has been removed. List the ideal outcome and emotions. For example: My cat enjoys relaxing when I am away and is confident about staying alone at home. This makes me really happy.


We now "clean" those unwanted emotions by tapping on specific points on our body or our pet's body. These points correspond to important meridians and send direct signals to the midbrain, reducing stress. This method works on both physical and psychological levels, helping to reset our energies to a balanced state. We gently tap on these points to replace undesirable emotions and limiting beliefs with desired outcomes and emotions.


What if my Pet doesn't let us Tap on him?


There is a good chance that our pet may not like us tapping on his or her face. In such cases, we either air tap above the points or tap on ourselves with the strong intent that we are tapping for our pet.


Is Tapping useful only for Separation Anxiety?


Tapping can assist with a wide range of issues. We all agree that animals, by nature, enjoy living in the present. Our emotions concerning our pet's health or behavioral problems can emotionally affect them. For example: The vet is concerned about the blood work, which unsettles you. Now, your pet is acting withdrawn and probably moving around less than usual, despite medication. However, the follow-up tests show the medical issue has improved significantly or is no longer present. This makes both the vet and you very happy, and your pet returns to being their lively self. Your pet, of course, didn't read either report but simply sensed your emotions about the situation. Therefore, tapping on the issue can help relieve physical problems and symptoms as well. The same principle applies to their behavioral issues.


Tapping is not a substitute for veterinary care but serves as an excellent aid for recovery. It provides both your pet and you with the belief in the desired outcome. And we all recognize the power of the mind in healing.
