Tapping as in acupuncture, ayahuasca or like Jesus? The Bible did say, “lay hands on the sick and they will be healed.” I also like Langer’s CounterClockwise experiment. One can never underestimate the power of the mind.
Wavefunction collapse might even explain meditative states but I do wonder whether supernatural experiences and “woo” manifestations are just dissociative states of mind.
Energy appears across traditions, you have chi in taoism, chakras in yogis and tantric practices, the holy spirit in christianity. But it is interesting how all converges and religions become a subset of spirituality. Modern science, ancient faiths, and personal experience are starting to speak the same language.
As for the past and future, to me understanding the past helps release it, but it doesn’t have to define you. I lean more toward Adler’s future-focused view than Freud’s past fixation. That inner stillness Zen Wisdom, Jung, Watts, and Hawkins all speak off, feels like the anchor we all need in a fast-moving world.
