5 Things You Must Know Before Doing EFT With Children and Teens
photo by Fine Shots Tapping with children can be a very rewarding experience. In many cases children take to tapping much faster than adults because they are more willing to try new things and aren’t hung up on why something is working. They just want to feel better. Here are five things to keep in mind when teaching kids to tap. (Note: All five lessons below are hard won. I know them to be true because I have done the opposite of all 5 at one point.) 1) They Are Smarter Than You ...

Tapping Ninja Video – 5 Steps I Take To Start An EFT Session (That only takes 45 seconds)

It is helpful to be grounded in the moment, to be grounded in our physical bodies, open to healing, and aware of the healing power of our system. Here is a quick 5 step process that ...

Pod #76: Scientific and Psychological Research On Tapping and EFT w/ Dawson Church, Ph.D
I don’t know about you, but I constantly find myself answering questions about EFT and tapping. It is great that we can draw from on personal experience (and the experience of those with whom we work) when sharing about tapping, but in many cases this is not enough. It is useful to have structured, peer-reviewed scientific studies to build the wall of proof that so many are looking for. To that end I have something in two parts that will help you respond to people who are looking for scientific ...
TapAlong: Feeling Bad Because We Started Tapping So Late
When we first learn to tap we feel very empowered. All of a sudden we have a great tool that we can use anytime and anywhere. As good as this feels, that good feeling can pass.

If you are feeling bad about not starting the healing process sooner I have a great little tap along for you. ...

TapAlong: I Can’t Believe It! I Should Have Known Better – Forgiving Myself
More than once I have thought, "I should have known better." There are times when we make mistakes and poor choices where we did the best we could. In hindsight we recognize that we could have done better. There are other times when we knew better and as we were making choices we knew how it would turn out. We knew we were not making the right choices for creating our better self. These times are particularly hard. It is easy to not forgive ourselves in these moments but we need to be able ...

Pod #75: Tapping For The Power Of Identity w/ Brad Yates
I want you to imagine you are meeting someone for the very first time. They know nothing about you. You have to describe yourself to that person, but you can only use one word descriptions. Which words would you use? Father, wife, grandson, teacher, loving, hopeful... The labels we give to ourselves can powerfully influence our behaviour. In this interview I chat with Brad Yates about the positive and negative identities we create and how we can use tapping to transform the way we see and ...
TapAlong: Feeling Like You Need To Learn A Lesson Before Moving On – Forgiving Self
At times I have found myself stuck in this thought: "I can't move on until I learn an important lesson from the past." It is true that we need to learn from our experiences. That is what growth and evolution is all about. Often we will keep ourselves trapped in some past event until we feel like we have learned that great lesson we needed to learn. But there isn't always a lesson to be learned from the past. Sometimes the only thing we learn is that we don't want to be stuck in that place ...
