My husband and I celebrated our 1st anniversary last month, which was even more fun and special than I expected (I'm a huge birthday person, and this was even more fun than that!).

Tapping is very easy to learn, and it can be very easy to do once you understand the basics. But to people who don't know anything about it, tapping can look kind of confusing: you're tapping on your hands and your face, you're saying things out loud, and there are different components of the tapping sequence that don’t always make sense right at the start. The first component of the tapping sequence is called the setup statement, and the 2nd part is the rest of the tapping sequence.
In this post, I’ll discuss what a set up statement is, how it’s used, and how you can create one ..read more
