		<title>Creativity Boosting Techniques That Accelerate Tapping Success (AKA: How To Keeping Tapping When It Gets Boring Or Stale) Part 3 of 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mechanically tapping/Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a very easy thing to do.  All you need is to provide stimulus to the tapping points plus tuning into the issue at hand.  The tapping part is easy; what can be hard is the tuning in part.  Often we are so close to an issue or we have been working on an issue that it is difficult to see it clearly.

Recently Jeremy Dean's <a href="http://spring.org.uk">PSYBlog</a> had a very interesting two part series (via <a href="http://kottke.org">kottke.org</a>) which explored 14 of ways we can become more creative and more efficient problem solvers.  In this four part series I am going to explore how we can apply many of these insights to tune into our issues in new ways (plus a few of my own).]]></description>

		<title>Power of Forgiveness (Pod 41)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most powerful tools in transformation is our ability to forgive ourselves and others.  When we forgive we are not saying it is ok.  We are not saying we want to have the same thing happen again.  What we are saying is that we are choosing to no longer be emotionally entangled in the past.  Forgiveness is one of the steps of moving from reliving to remembering.

In this show we will explore the power of forgiveness and how we can us tapping to make forgiveness of others and ourselves an important part of our transformation.

		<title>“…and I choose this for my reality!”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the common mistakes we make when assessing a situation is making a generalizations.  We say things like, "Everyone at work hates me!" or "Nothing I do is good enough for my boss!"  It is obvious with a few moments of reflection that these statements aren't true.  Sure, there might be one or two people at work we don't get along with, but it is not "everyone".  

The problem with these types of generalizations is they move us to a place were we are responding to them as if they were true. (The words we say out loud have that much power.)

If I walk into my workplace believing that everyone hates me I am going to act in a particular way.  If I walk into my workplace believing that I don't get along with Bill and Mary. I am going to act in a different way.]]></description>

		<title>Letting Go</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Often times when we are approaching transformation we look to adding new skills and resources (to do new things) or to heal past wound (that have us trapped in the past).  These are great paths to pursue with our work, but they are not the only paths.

Many times we are carrying emotions, memories, or beliefs from the past that are no longer useful in the present.  We also choose to carry burdens and problems for our loved ones.  Letting go of these no longer useful burdens can quickly open us for healing of the issues we face in this moment.]]></description>

		<title>Get A Good Night&#8217;s Rest Tap-Along (Bonus Podcast)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seems like every client I have been working with for the last week and a half has asked me about tapping to help them to sleep.  Daily stress is a very common cause for disrupting sleep because the system is busy trying to solve the problems of the previous day and is consumed with the worries of tomorrow.  In this very simple tap-along audio you will get the chance to prepare the system for a great night of rest and relaxation.  Not only do we spend time with being physically tired but also with emotional exhaustion and mental fatigue.]]></description>

		<title>Do No Harm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Hippocratic Oath (or some oath similar to it) is taken by most medical doctors in the western world.  It is believed that it is based upon an oath written by the father of western medicine Hippocrates in the 5th century BCE.

I am not a doctor and I never give any medical advice, but I think there is a lot that we as practitioners can learn from the Hippocratic Oath.]]></description>

		<title>Reinforcing Progress By Recognizing Progress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes we make progress with our tapping that is so sublet that we don't even notice it.   Other times we make such a radical change that it is impossible to believe we had the problem before.   We don't have to recognize the progress we are making.  The simple fact that we are progressing and growing is reward enough for doing our tapping work, but there are some befits to recognizing our progress.]]></description>
