Known for their often lengthy menus, affordable dishes, and nostalgic atmosphere, old-school diners have been a fixture in America for years.

Does the word “manifesting” make you think of mood boards, mantras, and “The Secret?” Well, same—that is, until recently, when I had the chance to meet Poppy Delbridge, author of Tapping In: Manifest the Life You Want with the Transformative Power of Tapping and became fascinated with the “rapid tapping” method she’d come up with for manifestation. By mixing the art of ancient touch therapy to shift stuck energy, along with repetitive language, micro-meditation, and visualization, Delbridge claims that you can take control of your life with only a few moments each day.
