Tapping Meditation: Releasing the Fear of Public Speaking

You’ve probably heard the Jerry Seinfeld joke:

“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right?  This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.”

I can just hear Jerry deliver it – so good! (And I just re-watched Seinfeld, start to finish. I’m telling you, it gets even better with age!)

Anyway… so… are you scared of public speaking?

When I speak in front of audiences and ask this question, a good 20% of the people there raise their hands.

There’s probably another 20% who are scared to even raise their hands – lol!

And then there are chunks of others who have various feelings like, “I’m not scared of it, but I don’t like it.”

Or they might have specific scenarios that they struggle with. Or they’re only a “little bit” scared, but that’s enough to stop them in subtle ways from creating what they otherwise might want in their lives.

But not to fear – Tapping can help!
