In this episode we discuss how tapping affects the brain and the biochemistry of the body. It is one thing to know that it is possible for us to tap and find relief, but it something complete different to understand what is going on inside the body. When we understand what is going on in the brain and in the biochemistry of the body (and how this effects the way new cells are produced) it allows us to do two things. First, it can help us to tailor our tapping in such a fashion that we can get the most out of the tapping session because we can do it in a more effective way. Second, it helps us to understand the way the body changes so we can more clearly track our progress and maintain realistic expectations of how the healing process is going to unfold.

The holiday season feels like it is months and months away, but will be here before we know it. The holidays bring joy, friends and family, but they also bring too many parties with lots of yummy treats and the stress of the hectic schedule. You can do something about the stress of the holiday season NOW!

Over the lifetime of this web site I have been keeping a very close tab on the most frequently asked questions and the most popular articles. Here are nine common topics, most of which are based on conversations with clients and e-mails from readers, dealing with why tapping works, what a person can expect during the healing process, and how to improve one’s tapping practice. Please keep the questions coming.

Recently I have been working with a number first time clients. Many of them are very experienced with Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT) and have come to work with me because they are dealing with something that is much larger than the normal day to day issues they use tapping for.

I have been successful with EFT when it comes to working on minor aches and pains. There are some big emotional things from my past I would like to tap on, but I am afraid. I worry that I am going to tap away my ability to feel emotions. Is EFT going to leave me emotionless?

I am very aware that there are times when we have pain in the body that has an emotional base. There are also times when we just hurt ourselves. I just twisted my knee and it still hurts a few days later. Do I tap in the same way with this sort of physical pain as I would for pain that is emotionally-based?

One of the biggest struggles in our process of growing and changing is the fact that we don’t often believe that we deserve healing.

There are times when I want to spend a little time tapping, but I don’t have a specific issue or I don’t really want to dive into a very emotional issue. Is there any benefit to just tapping with no particular intention? [Note: The example in this article on how to tap without words is a prefect way to tap to help you get a good night sleep or to just relax.]

How can I use EFT to deal with holiday stress?

Right now I’m having trouble with cravings. There are times I crave Diet Dr. Pepper, but I don’t like the taste. I almost feel like a person possessed. I must consume it even though I don’t enjoy it. How do I use EFT to kill this type of craving?
