The most primitive part of our emotional guidance system is our fear response. Fear's primary goal is to keep us from dying. I know that sounds like an overstatement, but this is exactly how it functions.
Of course it's good that part of our ...
One of the keys to effective tapping is having an emotion to tap for, but sometimes we aren't able to feel anything deeply.

I have always found the law of attraction's teaching of "visualizing a positive outcome and somehow the universe will just magically make it happen" a little suspect.
My doubt was a prompt for me to do some research and when looking into ...
When we sit down to tap we are doing it because we want to feel better. It is easy to fall into the trap of feeling like the only way our tapping will be successful is if we feel absolutely wonderful when we have finished.

We all know that New Year Resolutions don't work. It would be nice to believe that making a statement at midnight on December 31st would be enough to create fresh ways of thinking and acting, but it doesn't work that way.

My first memory of using EFT on my own was getting rid of one of the most profound headaches I had ever had in about 90 seconds. My second big moment was dealing with my social anxiety.

Trying again where we have failed in the past is one of the hardest things to do.
I was recently faced with wanting to do something that didn’t go well in the past. It wasn’t that it went badly, but it was far from as successful as I would have ...

One of my favorite ways to use tapping is to remove whatever is standing in the way of taking action towards creating the life we desire.
