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.

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.

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.

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?

I am new to tapping and love it, but I don’t know where to start. I set time aside everyday to tap. When I sit down to tap either nothing comes to mind or everything comes to mind all at once. I know there are lots of areas of my life that need transformation. Any suggestion on getting started?

Gary Craig and many other practitioners use the phrase “I love and accept myself” sometimes adding “deeply and completely” in their set-up phrases. I don’t know about you, but I’ve come in contact with quite a few people that have a real aversion to this statement. Seems to me, that if we loved and accepted ourselves, most of our ‘problems’ would not exist in the first place. Do we need to use this phrase while tapping?

We do ourselves a disservice by thinking we are constantly in need of improvement. Our true joy can be found in being who we are.

Each month the Tapping Insiders Club does an “Ask The Expert” interview where they pose questions from their members to a tapping practitioner. For the month of December I was asked to field these questions. In this interview Jessica Ortner ask me questions from total tapping beginners to questions from practitioners.

Asking the question “What proof do you have to feel this way or to belief this?” is a powerful tool for clearing issues and limiting beliefs.
