What’s your favourite way to alleviate anxiety? Mine is tapping, also known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Linguistically, tapping is fascinating, because it reveals an inherent contradiction that your body ends up resolving for you.

The stories I read in this episode are The origin of all destruction and Vasilisa.

My favourite EFT resource is The Tapping Solution.
