The things we want to change in our life show up most obviously in the choices we make daily. Because of this it makes the most sense to focus our tapping work on trying to transform these choices. Even if our tapping is successful in doing this, it ...
I think we all know what it is like to feel stuck. We know what we want to do or we know what we want to change, but for some reason we just can't take action. There is an obvious cost to being stuck. For every passing moment that we don't change ...
I always find my conversations with Rick Wilkes interesting. Of all of the interviews I do they tend to be the least planned because they are much more interesting conversations than they are traditional interviews. When I email Rick to see what he ...
A number of years ago Andy Hunt wrote an interesting article on his site Practical Wellbeing that has stuck with me. In Self-Hate Speech he looks at the hate speech laws of the UK and asked the question of how would law enforment respond to you ...
I love talking about the work I do. When I am meeting someone for the first time I don't jump right into tapping or EFT. I talk about self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, and emotional healing. At some point in the conversation, because people are so ...
I love people who have a natural healing disposition. They see their healing talents as a gift that they want to share with others. Sometimes this giftedness has the drawback of attracting many more people than we are capable of helping. For ...
You have been there before. You are trying to make a change, like giving up sweets. The first day is hard. The second is harder. The third day, for some unknown reason, is really easy. You feel awesome. You are making progress. Real change is ...
Creating the loving relationship we desire it isn't simply about finding a partner. We want to find our way to the right relationship that feeds and nurtures us. Unfortunately many people keep finding themselves in the same type of relationship that ...
Over the last few weeks my Facebook timeline has been filled with memorials. First, a friend and colleague, Mark, died suddenly of a heart attack. Second, American sports news personality Stuart Scott died from the cancer he had fighting for ...
When I look at the work that I have done on myself since I discovered tapping I can distill almost every issue down to one thing. Being comfortable inside my own skin. When I am comfortable inside my own skin I am more likely to follow inspiration, ...
A few weeks ago in podcast #149 we talked about the trouble with saying "I love and accept myself". As we discussed, sometimes it is hard to say and there are also times where it isn't helpful to say. It was a useful discussion you should check ...
There are a number of books and movies that I revisit at least once a year. I do this because even though the stories and information are the same, I have changed and therefore they impact me in a new way. It might be the sixth time I have re-read ...
Surrogate tapping is a tricky topic. Tapping itself is difficult enough to explain, but trying to explain how I can tap on my body to promote change in someone else is a whole other level. At that point it sounds like we are talking about woo-woo ...
Good morning, When I was a kid my mother would ask me wanted I wanted for Christmas and she’d always end the question with the addendum "and you are not allowed to ask for world peace." It's not that my mother didn't want world peace. She just ...
Often our biggest obstacle we have to using tapping in the healing process is ourselves. This plays out in two ways. First, sometimes a part of us doesn’t feel it is safe for us to heal. Since a part of our system doesn't feel safe healing we short ...
My clients often complain that even though they tap regularly for their issues, there are times when their emotions get the better of them. The goal of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is not for us to become emotionless. Our emotions are ...
When Gary Craig first introduced the world to Emotional Freedom Techniques he used something he called the setup phrase. You would tap on the side of your hand or rub the sore spot and say, "Even though I have [insert issue] I completely love and ...
My walk home from Thanksgiving dinner took about a half an hour. It was a quiet afternoon and the Brooklyn streets were almost deserted. As I was walking I started singing Sinéad O'Connor's "Thank You For Hearing Me." I find it to be a such a ...
Between the bonus podcasts and the full show I have shared over 200 podcasts! It has been an amazing journey. I would like to thank: Adele Wang, Alina Frank, AnaMaria Herrera, Andy Bryce, Ann Ross, Brad Yates, Brittany Watkins, Carol Look, Carol ...
We live in a time of exceptionalism. Everywhere we turn we are presented with the biggest, the best, the greatest, and the most important. And it is not just coming from marketers. If you spend any time on social media you see people describing the ...
