Before I tap with clients we take a close look at what is going on in their lives. We try to find the patterns of life to see want needs to be changed. There is one questions that gets to the core of this. In this video we explore that questions.

Sometimes there is resistance to clearing an issue (physical, emotional, and limiting belief) because we are emotionally charged about the issue we are dealing with. We might feel disappointed in ourselves for dealing with this issue, or sad that our body has let us down. In this video we explore how to clear this resistance so clear the core issue is easer.

We all want to change. We all want better for ourselves. We all want health and well being. Otherwise we wouldn’t be learning tapping. BUT change work can be very scary. It requires us to level with ourselves about what is working and many times even scarier why things are the way they are.

Here is a simple three step process that will clear the way to healing and change, BUT be very careful. These are dangerous and scary questions. Only read this if you are willing to understand why are are stuck.

As we prepare for a new year we often make resolution of the all the new things we are going to do to become better people. This year I am taking a new approach. Instead of adding things I am going to get rid of the things that are no longer useful to make room for what I am already doing. Here is what I am doing and how I am using tapping to support this work.

It is fun to watch people intact with a new born. Once they get over their fear of dropping the child everyone just lights up. For some reason we are able to see the goodness in the innocents of the child and we can offer unconditional love very easily.

The idea for this TapAlong can to me while I was doing an interview Brad Yates. Right after I idea hit me I shared it with Brad and he said that he had done the exact thing with his clients before. Here is a great little TapAlong that I hope will help you to experience unconditional love.

Trying new things can be hard. It requires us to put ourselves at risk. It requires up to face the fact that we don’t know everything. We know intellectually that there are many things we have tried in the past that we didn’t know how to do. Some of them worked out right away while others took time for us to learn. When we recognize that it is okay for us to try new things and that it is okay to not be perfect during the learning process it makes it easier for us to try new and different things.

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.

Sometimes it is hard to move forward because we are worried about what might go wrong. The situation we are in right now isn’t perfect, but we know everything that isn’t perfect and we know how to manage it. There might be people who push our buttons, but we know how to deal with them. There might be tasks that we hate doing, but we brace ourselves for those tasks and we just push ourselves through. Even though this isn’t perfect, we know how to deal with it. In this predictable, familiar world, the future is known. However, making changes brings the unknown. We might get what we want, but we also might bring problems we are not ready for and problems we can’t handle. When considering making changes (even positive ones) part of us is willing to remain stuck with the problems that we can manage instead of trying to do something new for fear of something bad happening to us.

(Free TapAlong Audio) We are connected to many people in our lives. Some of the connections are very close while others are not so close. When we make choices we don’t make them in a vacuum. We know our choices impact other people. Sometimes our choices are going to directly affect others with the outcome while other times it simply effects the way they see us. Because we consider how others are going to think about us because of our choices, there are time we hesitate because we are not sure how others are going to react (or we fear the reaction is going to be negative). On a subconscious level we won’t act unless we feel we have the permission of those around us to go after our dream. It feels a little odd to ask someone permission to chase our dreams, but it is important to note the places where we are holding ourselves back.

We are taught when tapping it very import to be as specific as possible. The more specific we are the faster Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping works. Sometimes it is better to take a more global approach to an issue. Instead of moving from the general to the specific we can use the specific to find our way to a much deeper issue. When doing this we see the specific as being a symptom to a much larger issue that we weren’t aware of. In this article Vermont based practitioner Jade Barbee shares an experience were he was able to take a very specific issue to find a much deeper issue to do work on.
