One of the most difficult things about weight release is believing that we can achieve our goals. Often we are often carry the baggage of failed past attempts at weight release, a family history of carrying too much weight, and the fact that we have held the weight for so long it seem that is stuck and can’t possibly be released. In this article we look at the different reasons we fear failure (not just for weight release) and how we can use tapping to move past these fears.

The first step in the healing process is recognizing it is safe to heal. In this article we discuss why our system can believe it is not safe to heal and how we can do some simple tapping to create a state of safety allowing us to return to our natural healthy state.

One of the most common uses of tapping is weight release and craving control. In this interview Pat talks about the basic steps we need to take to be success in weight release. After giving this overview Pat talks emotional eating and then talks in very specific term about the mindless eating we do and how we can use tapping to deal with the craving eating and the habitual eat (e.g. eating every time we watch tv).

Holidays are very busy emotional times. The last 10 weeks of the year are jam packed with holidays, each with their own special meaning and traditions. Each holiday also has its own color palette. From the oranges of Halloween to the reds and greens of Christmas, these color haven’t happened by accident, but also carry the meaning of the holiday. In this podcast I talk to “The Queen of Color” Catherine Poole about what each color means emotionally and how by being aware of this we can keep our over eating and over spending in check while being open to the love and connection of the holiday.

Often times we treat our body as the enemy and working our way back to being healthy as a battle. We feel betrayed, hopeless, and frustrated by our body. When we do this we are turning on our self. As hard as it is to believe, our body us in this state because the system believes this is the best state we can be in. It either believes we can get no healthier or it believes by being in our current state it is going to keep us safe. Once we recognize that we are our body and that our body is trying to function in a way that is best it then becomes possible to work with our bodies to move down the paths to greater health and well being.

The holiday season feels like it is months and months away, but will be here before we know it. The holidays bring joy, friends and family, but they also bring too many parties with lots of yummy treats and the stress of the hectic schedule. You can do something about the stress of the holiday season NOW!

Reward systems are very effective as a motivator to get a task done, but they can also become problematic if they are not carefully created or used. Sometimes they can be created and we don’t even realize it is happening.

Here is an example of how a reward system had become transformed. At one time it served as benefit, but was now causing problems.

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.

Release the desires you have for the food that is bad for you and gain desires for the food your body needs.

Right now I’m having trouble with cravings. There are times I crave Diet Dr. Pepper, but I don’t like the taste. I almost feel like a person possessed. I must consume it even though I don’t enjoy it. How do I use EFT to kill this type of craving?
