Tap Your Temples

Tap Your Temples

alone-together instagram story guided EMDR

When therapeutic practices are shared on social media can they lead to better mental health? Instagram allows us to share knowledge, but screen time has also been linked to negative mental health effects. It is anecdotally said that social media prevents us from being present with each other while in the same physical space.

Tap Your Temples asks people to gather together in the same physical location and to do a 10 minute meditation guided on Instagram stories with their headphones on. This piece incorporates bilateral stimulation based on the highly effective mental health intervention, EMDR, but is it beneficial in this context?

The foundation for this piece is based on a practice I designed called Spells for Being(s).
It is outlined below.
