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?

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 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?
Stress is one of the biggest issues of monder life. I think it is talked about so much that some times we tune it out. We need to keep our eye on how stress affects us day to day. Tapping for stress is easy to do and is much like brushing your teeth. You need do a little bit everyday to make lasting change. In this interview I chat with Louise Woods about the impact of stress on the body and some simple things that you can do right now to improve your mood and your health.
Tapping is great for physical pain and physical issues. When most people are introduced to tapping they learn to deal with pain by tapping on “this pain in my knee…this pain in my knee…this pain in my knee”. In this interview with Carol Look we examine more advanced ways to look at the emotions that are associated with the physical pain and how in many cases when we deal with the emotional issues we find our way to physical relief.
