I respond much better to doing setups on my sore spot(s) than on my Karate Chop point. But I have found that my best response is if I tap on, even thump a bit, on the sore spot(s) rather than rubbing. Is this common or am I very unusual? Also, when I tap on my collar-bone it works much better if I tap on my sore spot as well as my collar bone spot. Is this ok/normal?

There are many reasons we want to make changes in our life. Often, the greater the perceived reward the greater the motivation we have. Many times there’s more than one reason for making a change. Understanding these reasons can be key to our transformation.

One of the nice things about tapping is that we can just jump right in to doing work anytime and anywhere. Even though we can just start I have found that if we give some thought to how we begin we can make sure the tapping time is more effective. To start almost every session (either with clients or when I am tapping on my own) I use these five steps.

I recently had a chance to do EFT with someone who was having a really bad day. I didn’t have a lot of time to explain what we were doing, but I didn’t know how to start. Because I wasn’t sure how to explain what we were going to do, I didn’t do anything. Any suggestions?

I get questions daily into the site asking, “How do I tap for…?” Most of them are for emotional or physical issues. Even if I have never been asked the question before I am very rarely caught off guard, but from time to time I am asked a question that even makes me scratch my head.No matter the subject or issue here is a simple four step approach to tapping for any issue.

I have recently been diagnosed with a rodent ulcer on my chest that will need surgery…or will it? I have asked my Reiki students and colleagues to send distance healing and I wonder whether EFT may also be used? I am unsure what affirmation to use in this instance. Do you have any suggestions on phrases that I should use?

When I work with clients I like to teach them practical tools so that they are not dependent on our client sessions for progress. I want them to be able to continue to move forward on their. There are two tools that I teach the most because I think they are 1) very easy to do. 2) very versatile and 3) very powerful. (I will share the other tool in a future podcast.)

The tool “About, To, and As If” is a great way to deal with emotions around any relationship. The tool can be used for close friends and family or with people you have never met before. It can be used for people you have a contentious relationship with and it can be used with people who you want a better life for. You can do the whole tool in three minutes. or use it for a full hour.

Recently I was asked, “I love the fact that you have over 380 free resources on your site, but I don’t know where to start. Where is a good place to start?” Here is a list of 16 of my favorite, most popular, and best free resources on tapping and EFT. Make sure you let me know what your favorites are as well!

Is it necessary to have the intention of releasing or letting go of the negative thought, feeling, or physical pain while tapping? I am trying to understand why fretting, stewing, or worrying about an issue consciously doesn’t dissolve the emotions, but tapping while expressing it does.

When I am tapping all sorts of things come to mind. Sometimes the memories are clearly connected to what I am tapping on. Other times they are thoughts about memories and people that seem to have nothing to do with what I am tapping on. What should I do with these thoughts?
