At Heart Leap, I explore how to build a happy, creative, and simple life. At 9 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, I host ‘happy writing hours’ for paid subscribers. It’s for anyone who is trying to write a book, start a Substack, or just have a little accountability for their writing practice. We chat for 5 minutes or so, and then we write quietly together for the rest of the hour. It’s strangely comforting and motivational to have a cohort of writers to support you and write alongside you. I also run monthly master classes on motivation and inspiration. Today I am running a masterclass on writing for the national press and hosting a ‘features’ meeting live.

Last week we had top coach Annie Ashdown coming to help us learn how ‘power tap’ in a masterclass.

It was so powerful I had to go and lie down in a darkened room for an hour after the class. Something definitely shifted for me and I haven’t stopped writing since. I feel that something has been unleashed, unblocked and my creativity is flowing flat out again. Look! 6165 in 6 days. 1,000 words a day.

How does it work?

Power tapping is blend of TFT (thought field therapy) and EFT (emotional freedom technique) combining elements of exposure, cognitive therapy, and somatic stimulation of acupressure points on the face and body.  

“So many underestimate the power of tapping because it’s so simple, but by using two fingertips to tap on meridian points (which are like emergency brakes for the brain) you send messages to your brain that everything is okay. Your inner gremlins start to fade,” says Annie.

In this recording you will learn how to:

Power tap, using a shortened, self led practise allowing you to elevate your well being in anything from 30 seconds to 15 minutes. 

How can Annie help us? 

“Every aspect in your life-deserves to be the best it can be,” says Annie. “To reach new heights, we need a bolder version of ourselves which emerges when we heal our nervous system. That’s my ‘thing’ I am on a mission to encourage people to go for what they really, really want,” she says.
