One of the most powerful insights I have had in my practice in the last 18 months was the recognition that every issue we have is trying to serve us in some way. This does not mean that issue is successful in doing so. In many cases the effort of the issue is making our life much worse. In podcast I explain an easy 9 step process you can use with tapping to transform your issues in to powerful resources for growth.

I am trying to get rid of the negative thoughts and feelings. Isn’t saying and thinking negative thoughts while tapping just reinforcing the negative situation I am in? Shouldn’t I just be saying positive things?

Struggle can lead to bitterness. Bitterness is the enemy of healing and transformation. Here is a tap-along to help dealing with bitterness in the face of struggle.

I receive questions all the time about how one can tap to change someone else. There are some very specific implementations of surrogate tapping (like the work I do with autistic children). But it is not as simple as tapping to change the choices of someone else. We can’t tap to change someone else free will, but we can tap to create an environment where we give others a chance to make new and different choices. In this podcast I explain 3 ways in which we can take to help others to make different choices by working on our own emotions, make others feel loved and save, and by not bring our issues to the table.

One of the reasons that I love EFT/tapping is because it is very effective in dealing with our critical voice. The critical voice is nothing more then that little nagging voice that is always pointing out everything we have done wrong, everything we are going to do wrong, and everything we are never going to be.

Sometimes this voice is nothing more than a simple annoyance, while other times it can be so crippling that it prevents us from getting out to bed in the morning.

Here is an easy 8 step process to transform the critical voice into a very powerful tool for change and transformation.

There are times when we know we are going to stepping in to situations where we are going to be facing a know issue (like going to a party where there are going to be tempting foods or into a meeting where we know we might get mad). When we know what our problem spots are we can do tapping ahead of time to issue we make better choices.

One of the biggest obstacles we face when we sit down to tap is to know what to tap on. We might have a sense of what we would like to change or how we would like to grow, but the change can feel so large that we don’t what steps to take first. In this article AnaMaria Herrera explains that some times the best first step is to decided to make a change, which then leads to a clearer path and the next step.

One of the most difficult parts of releasing weight is making changes to how we eat. There are two aspects to changing the way we eat: mealtime eating and between meal eating. In this article we look at the many different ways we can use tapping to deal with mindless eating.

We spend as much as one half of our waking hours at work. Not only is it important that we have a way of dealing with the stress of our jobs, but we also need to help manage the way this stress might affect the rest of our lives. In this interview with Pamela Bruner we talk about how we can use tapping to deal with work place stress, how to use tapping to improve our performance on the job, and how to use tapping to keep the work stress from creeping into other parts of our lives.

I would like to be more financially successful, but for some reason I just keep making really poor choices. It is almost as if a part of me wants me to stay poor. I don’t even know where to begin with this issue. Do you have any suggestions?
