In our judgment, yes — when practiced in Christ’s name and anchored in Scripture. Read our full answer →

No. It’s a doorway back into prayer when anxiety has barred the door. When you’re in fight-or-flight, deliberate prayer is hard. Tapping calms the body just enough that the soul can speak again.

The standard secular setup statement does sound like therapeutic self-affirmation — and we agree that’s problematic. We don’t use it. Our setup statements anchor acceptance in God’s love and Christ’s finished work. “Even though I’m anxious… I trust that God is with me.”

Yes — and we want you to. Our sessions are prayer. They happen to include physical movement. The Christian tradition has always engaged the body in worship: kneeling, lifting hands, prostrating, fasting, breath prayer. Tapping is one more embodied form of turning to God.

We can’t answer for your pastor — and we’d encourage you to ask them. We’re building pastoral advisory resources specifically to support that conversation. If your pastor has questions, they can reach us through our contact form →

Interdenominational. We stand with the Apostles’ Creed. We serve Protestants, Catholics, and anyone within the historic Christian faith. We do not represent or require any particular tradition.

A research-backed practice of gently tapping on 9 specific points on your face, hands, and chest while voicing what you’re feeling. Over 100 randomized clinical trials. Large, consistent effects on anxiety, PTSD, and depression. In plain English: it calms your body while you pray.

The clinical evidence is substantial. A 43% cortisol reduction in one hour. 90% of veterans no longer meeting PTSD criteria after 6 sessions. Cohen’s d of 1.23 for anxiety across 14 trials. These are large effect sizes in independent peer-reviewed research.

No. The nervous system responds regardless of belief. Many participants in clinical trials were skeptical. The studies held.

Many people feel a shift in the first session — a loosening, a calming. Deeper patterns take longer. We recommend 5 sessions before drawing any conclusions.

Yes, for the vast majority of people. For serious trauma, PTSD, or significant mental health concerns, we recommend working alongside a licensed therapist. We’re a complement to professional care, not a replacement.

Yes — that’s exactly what our guided sessions are for.

Side of hand, eyebrow, side of eye, under eye, under nose, under the mouth, collarbone, under arm, and top of head. Your guide walks you through each one — you never have to memorize them.

The technique is safe for children. We don’t currently have a dedicated children’s library, but our gentler sessions have been used by families together. A children’s section is on our roadmap.

Never. We don’t serve ads, sell data, share with third parties, or use your sessions to train AI models. Your spiritual life is not a product.
