Today’s podcast is an interview with Jesse Jacobs and is little different. I first heard Jesse interviewed by Dan Benjamin on the show “The Pipeline” which is business show. Dan was interviewing Jesse about the tea house that he runs in San Francisco. What caught my attention was the last five minutes of the interview in which he started to talk about the power of ritual in how he has created work that he loves and a life that feeds him.

In this interview we spend a little time talking about how moved for being a techie to created a space where people could relax, be at peace, and make real connections with other. The bulk of the interview is spent talking about this idea of ritual. We talk about the power of ritual, how it can ground us, and how we can add a daily ritual to our life.

One of the biggest challenges of the modern world is being fully present in this moment. We are seem to be being pulling in a million directions all the time between the media we are consuming (even if it is just constantly chattering in the back ground), the loved ones we want to give our attention to, all the tasks that need to be done during the day, and all we would like to achieve for our own growth. Being present in this moment is a really challenge. In this interview with Ted Robinson we talk about how being present in this moment can be a real benefit to us and how we can us tapping to help us to achieve this state.

The Toa Te Ching is an ancient Chinese text that is a collection of 81 short passages. As wikipedia rightly states, “The passages are ambiguous, and topics range from political advice for rulers to practical wisdom for people.”

Some passages are insightful, others are profound, and still others will leave you just scratching your head in bafflement.

The topic of the Toa Te Ching came up during a client session recently. The types of issues we were tapping(EFT) on reminded me of many passages. After the session I dug out my dog-eared and tattered copy. I was amazed at how much peace it brought to tap along to the passages.

One of my clients recently asked me, “What is the end game to this tapping thing?” What he meant by the question is besides the constant improvement of our lives (which is no small thing), where does tapping lead us? What is the final goal?

This is a really interesting questions. This bonus podcast is my reflection on this point. I would love to hear your response to my thoughts. Please add your thoughts in the comments below.

One of the conversation I have most often around Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT)/tapping is how do it relate to religious traditions and spiritual practice. The questions range from is it okay to tap based on my religion/belief system to can tapping help my spiritual practice. I was interviewed by TapFest host Jondi Whitis and Co-Host Lillian Fimbres on EFT Radio. Here is our complete conversation.

This is one of my favorite processes. I teach it in my advanced class as an example of both guided imagery and parts work. I do this process at least one a week myself. The first time I did it I was amazed at the information my system gave me. In this version of it Jessica of the Tapping Insiders Club ask me a few questions about the process and then you can just tap right along with it.
