Like a big cat.

And that's what David's asking about.

Well, it's kind of a mind body thing.

So it's this connection between the mind and the body.

I'm always skeptical when people say mind body because the brain is part of the body.

So there's no mystery here.

Everything that you do is involving the brain.

So I've heard that this is a technique that's very controversial among psychologists.

I don't want to give away too much, but I'm skeptical.

And you're kind of tapping on the points where you would normally put in the needles, right?

There are all these tech bros out there doing biology, so why can't Gary do it?

Correct.

What's my problem?

I've got a sore arm.

I'm feeling anxious about my exam tomorrow.

And you state that clearly.

Yeah.

And you go through, you remind yourself about that statement as you tap.

So there's a couple of things going on here.

Including perhaps mindfulness, where you're focusing on your statement and you're thinking about that and you keep on coming back to that.
