Elbow Pain Returns

I recently taught EFT to a group of people. One of the most skeptical people in the audience was quite surprised to find after doing some tapping, his joint pain completely disappeared. He was amazed and did EFT by himself at home where he also got relief five or six times and then it stopped working. What happened?

Doing Aikido with Your Critical Voice

Sometimes it’s good to “fight” for things. At other times it’s far more effective to use leverage instead. For example, when our internal critic is yakking away, there’s often an internal fight. What if we gave up the fight and used the principle of Aikido to leverage our critical voice? Aikido is a martial art performed by blending with the motion of the attacker and redirecting the force of the attack rather than opposing it head-on. Also, in Aikido the practitioners defend themselves while also protecting their attacker from injury. No more internal head butting.

The Tapping World Summit 2010 Starts Sunday

Did you participate and listen to the Tapping World Summit in 2009? If so, you know that it was a great event on EFT and Meridian Tapping Techniques. This year’s event starts this Sunday, the 21st, and it will be even bigger. The goal is to have over 100,000 people attending online. There are 20 presenters giving you information on tapping that you can use in your life immediately. It’s all free to you unless you decide to buy the CDs and workbook. That’s completely optional.

Confused About the EFT Set-Up Phrase?

Newcomers to EFT often get hung up on what to say in the EFT setup phrase. They wonder if they’re saying the perfect words. In classic EFT, the ending of the phrase is … I deeply and completely accept myself. Sometimes people will say, “But I don’t accept myself.” In these cases, be flexible in finding a phase that resonates and works for you. Andrew Wilkie has some excellent recommendations in this article.

40 mph Car Crash

One of the things that concerns parents is automobile accidents when their sons or daughters are driving. My neighbor’s daughter’s car was hit from behind two weeks ago. Fortunately, although she was shaken up, she wasn’t physically injured. Luckily, she was driving an older sports utility vehicle with a rear bumper that thinks it’s a tank. Let me tell you how we used EFT for the trauma of her car crash.

This Emotional Life

I’ve been watching an excellent series on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) called This Emotional Life. It’s a three part series that ends this evening. The program is hosted by Daniel Gilbert, Harvard psychologist and best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness. The series explores the nature of social relationships that are the key to our human happiness, the obstacles to happiness, and the sometimes misguided pursuit of happiness itself. If you miss seeing the program, you can get the DVD of at this PBS page.

Belief Paralysis

A few days ago, I was working with a woman who has Transverse Myelitis which is a neurological disorder of the spinal cord caused by inflammation. She was in a wheelchair because she is paralyzed from the waist down. While she was in the hospital, I introduced her to EFT over the telephone. She’d been paralyzed once before and recovered, even though her doctors said she never would. This time she didn’t believe she’d walk out of the hospital. That belief changed within 10 minutes of tapping with EFT.

Honoring Gary Craig

As you may know, Gary Craig, the founder of EFT is retiring on January 15, 2010. I first discovered EFT eight years ago. I was reading an article by Don Blackerby who is dedicated to helping kids rediscover the joy of learning. Don mentioned a new method of relieving emotional and physical issues by tapping on specific acupuncture points. Since I had absolutely no frame of reference for this, I thought it was bizarre. How could tapping your fingertips do anything? Thank goodness I didn’t let that get in my way to learning more about EFT.

Frogs, Balloons & EFT

As I recall, I found out about Joan Feldman’s book, A Frog in My Basement: A Therapist’s Curious Journey into Energy Psychology and the Law of Attraction from a Google Alert I have on EFT. For some reason I was drawn and compelled to buy a copy of the book. I just finished reading it and what a hoot it was. Joan’s book is an entertaining, educational and enlightening story wrapped and packaged in 288 pages. As an added plus, the appendices give you tools for doing EFT and TAT.
