Tag Archives: Thanksgiving

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.

I spend a great deal of time talking to my clients and writing on this site about the importance of having a disposition of gratitude. In this podcast I share a bit of the science of what is going on when we feel both gratitude and poverty. [Note: in this discussion poverty is any feeling of lack, not just not having enough money.] When we understand what is going on in the body when we feel these emotions and how these emotions effect our choices it becomes much easier to see the places we can apply tapping for healing.

In one of the advanced tapping classes I teach one full class is devoted to lessons we can learn from great change work professional. Gary is one of the people I feature in the class. In that vain here are two lessons that can be learned form Gary’s work and two lessons that can be learned for Gary’s announced retirement.

It is difficult for us to see the people we love suffer. Often we don’t consider the consequences when we rush in to help. Our need to bring peace and comfort can over riders all other thoughts and consideration. This is not always the healthiest choice for our self in the short and/or long term.

Sometimes when we choose to help we do so by taking on the burden of our loved ones. Many times we can carry these burdens for years. Often we don’t even realize this is case or we have taken on these burdens when we were very very young, having no memory of choose to takes these burdens on.

When the burdens of others have been a part of our lives for so long they feel like they are a part of us and we don’t realize they are something that can be released.

On June 3rd I filled in as the guest host on the EFT Class on BlogTalk Radio. The topic for the show was EFT from a Christian Perspective and my guest was John Soriano.

Every issue we have exists because it is functional on some level (example: fears are trying to protect us). The problem is these tend to create problems in our daily lives, due to misinformation or protection from something beneficial (example: irrational fear of water). This can slow the healing process because we are “at war” with ourselves. The healing process can be transformed when we first approach these issues with gratitude for their functional uses. By doing this we can work with these beliefs instead of fighting them, as we work to health and well being.

Have you ever wondered what an Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/EvEFT) practitioner is thinking during a session and on what basis they decide what to do next? In this interview with Michele Price I give some insight into my thought process and the fundamental principles about healing that guide me. We talk about my 5 of my fundamental dispositions of healing and do some tapping. These are principles that shape the way I understand the world and healing.

I always seem to be using EFT for the things that go wrong in my life or the things I want to change. Does it do any good to tap on things that are going right and if so how would I do this?

What is the best procedure a person can take to learn how to forgive one’s self? I need to forgive myself desperately but don’t know how!

Should you keep tapping the same issue day after day? If you are doing okay without tapping, should you still keep tapping the same issue? For how long?
