Tapping Q & A - Getting the most out of tapping and EFT

Support the podcast! There is an odd phenomenon that happens when we make progress. Even though we are working towards our goals, there is a part of us feels dissatisfied with the progress. This can even happen when we have reached our goals. There is a part that still wants to pick away and criticize what we are doing. This happens because change feels scary, even if that fear exists only on the subconscious level. Change means we are doing something new, which is unpredictable, and the subconscious often reads this as dangerous. That explains why we shortcircuit our progress, undercut our actions, and sometimes even stop ourselves from taking any action at all. This week I have for you a simple tap-along that will help to quiet the subconscious when it is dissatisfied with progress, which will help you to take more action.

Support the podcast! When my space is cluttered I find it difficult to work efficiently and the mess becomes an emotional and energetic drag on my day. Recently I replaced my kitchen table with one that fits the space much better than its predecessor and took the opportunity to organize the piles of clutter that had made it their home. My tiny NYC apartment feels much more open and comfortable because that space is cleared. Sometimes dealing with clutter is about more than setting aside the time to clean up. If you are having a hard time decluttering your space, it's likely that there is an emotional component at play preventing you from taking action. In this week's podcast I have for you my favorite technique for clearing out clutter and a tap-along to help you get started.

Support the podcast! In order to have the type of life that we would like, it is important to make good choices about who and what surrounds us. One of the ways we can do this is to evaluate our circumstances and who we spend our time with. But sometimes we can take this too far. We move from deciding if something is the right fit for us, to saying something is inherently bad. We decide it is unworthy of our time and attention. When I judge someone or their beliefs harshly, it is often because I am fearful. On some level I am worried that their beliefs or actions will undermine me. This week I have a tap-along and script for those times when we become too judgy and critical of those around us. The full tapping script can be found below the player.

Support the podcast! Have you ever had one of those days where it is 3:30 in the afternoon and you realize you haven't managed to get anything done? OR it is one of those days where you move from task to task to task, but somehow never seem to achieve anything? OR you are just downright foggy and you can't seem to focus at all? Tapping is the perfect tool to help you to regain your focus, clear out the mental cobwebs, and get stuff done. This week I have the perfect tapping script to do exactly that! Below the player you will find a text version of the tapping script that you can print out and take with you.

Stop Self-Sabotage Class For me, I find it more frustrating to know what to do and not do it than I do not knowing what to do. It quickly can turn into me beating myself up for not taking care of my. This week I have a tap along audio to help you release the feelings of frustration, failure, and shame that come with not tapping when we know it is best of us. Yes, I understand the irony of asking you to tap for not tapping, but it works. Below the audio player is the full tapping script so you tap-along at your own pace if you would like.

Our bodies are far from perfect. With each passing moment they are aging and showing those changes. We are our own worst critics when we look in the mirror. We see each and every blemish. We notice even the slightest change. Even the smallest imperfection can seem like a big deal. At the exact same time, our bodies are amazing! They are a community of over 37 trillion cells that are working together every moment of the day. There are countless systems and processes working faultlessly to which we give no conscious thought. Today we are going to tap to appreciate our bodies more. I have found that when I do this type of tapping regularly I am healthier and happier.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle Last week I shared with you a simple process for letting go of the issues, worries, and wounds of 2016. This week we are going to tap to start 2017 off on the right foot. I love this particular tapping process because it is a chance for us to turn inward and give all parts of our system the chance to state what they need in the year ahead. Just like last week, I recommend that you do this process once a day for a week. I am certain you will be amazed by how the process changes each time you do it.

Think of this as a gentle way to do a little emotional housekeeping.

On some level we know that getting a good night's sleep is important. I know the quality of my sleep impacts how I handle each day. But did you know: Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development. The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others. That is a direct quote from Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute at the National Institute of Health which is run by the US Department of Health and Human Services. Here is an updated version of the tapping I do before I go to bed to ensure a good night's sleep. I have included both an audio and text version of the script (below).

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle The holiday season is a time for spending time with friends and family, parties, celebration, and fun. But because there is soooooo much packed into this time of year there can also be a great deal of additional stress. To help you through the holiday season I have four different tapping scripts for you. Too many activities going on (4m56s) Having to spend time with people you might not choose to spend time with (9m27s) Financial stress because of holiday spending (13m35s) Feeling disconnected from the meaning of the season (18m05s) Note: The time code after each of the topics above is the place in the audio where that particular tap-along begins.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle I have found in my own life that one of the most powerful emotions is gratitude. When we feel a sense of gratitude, even during trying times, it moves us to a disposition of possibility. It is important to note that this is not some fake, Pollyannish sense of hopefulness. It is possible to have a healthy sense of what is truly going on in our lives and be thankful at the same time. Here is a very simple tap-along to help you to connect with a healthy and genuine sense of gratitude. I recognize the fact that my life is not perfect...I recognize the fact that the world is not perfect...I recognize the fact there are lots of things that I would change if I could change them...I know the lives around me aren't perfect either...But at the exact same time I appreciate the fact that there are many things that are good...There are many things that are great...Even though my body is not perfect...I am thankful to have a body to move through this world with...Even though my mind is not perfect I am thankful for my creativity...Even though my relationships aren't perfect...I am grateful for my ability to connect with others...Even though my interactions with others aren't perfect...I appreciate the fact that there are others who inspire me...I know the world is not perfect...But I can be thankful the exact same time...I am thankful for life...I'm thankful for choice...I am thankful for opportunity...I am thankful for inspiration...I am thankful for education...I am thankful for healing...I am thankful for transformation...I am thankful that I can learn from others...I am thankful that I can be challenged...I am thankful for a new day...I am thankful for a new opportunity...I am thankful for rest and relaxation...I am thankful for people in my life...I am thankful for challenge...I am thankful...I am thankful for time to be thankful...I am thankful...I am thankful...I am thankful...I am thankful.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle | 10 Part Guide To Ending Self-Sabotage Note: This week's topic is so important that I have written an article and recorded a podcast. The article shares the same ideas, but is not a transcript of the podcast. This way you can choose the form that works best for you. The tapping script is identical in the article and podcast. I think being selfish gets are really bad rap. Most people think that being selfish is bad. We are taught we must not be selfish, but instead we must be giving. Personally don't believe selfish and giving are opposite. Instead, I believe that every act I make is a selfish act because it is a self-defining act. Let me give you a few ridicules examples to help prove my point. Right now as I type the article I am taking a deep breath in which means I am being selfish. There is no other reason to breath than to stay alive. That is very selfish. When I choose to love my family I am being selfish because I want to be a loving person. When I choose to love someone (and it is a choice) I am defining myself as a loving person. When I choose to run my practice and help other people I am being selfish because I am choosing how I use my time. Yes I am helping people, and that is a great thing, but I am not healing them. That is their choice. I am just a guide in the process. They are being selfish when they choose to heal. I am being selfish when I choose to articulate who I am as person who guilds people on this path. Yes, I know these examples are extremes, but I think they bring out the point because we think of being selfish in such extreme terms. Not only is it okey to be selfish, it is impossible not to be selfish because every action we make with our conscious choice is a self-defining act. When I work out to get healthier I am being selfish because I could be doing other things with my time. When I study a new skill I am being selfish to make myself a different type of person later. I am being selfish when I take a nap so I can be more present to my clients later this afternoon. It is okay to be selfish. The reason you are still feeling uncomfortable every time you read that is because it is very easy to believe that selfish equals greedy, mean, heartless, and willing to hurt other. We need to be selfish. If we don't take care of ourselves we are never going to be able to take care of others. We need to be selfish. If we don't take care of ourselves then we aren't taking care of ourselves. We need to be selfish. If we don't take care of ourselves we are never going to grow and heal in to who we truly are. Yes, I know you are still resisting this. That is okey. Tapping for this might sound like: I don't want to be selfish…because I need to care for other people…there are people who have it so much worse than I do…that I can't ask for anything more or better…and the things I have…I have squandered…it would be really selfish to ask for more…but I choose to know that selfish means I am making self defining act…every choice I make is a selfish act…I can love someone else and be selfish…because I want to be love…I can care for someone else because they are in need and be selfish…because I want to be giving…this doesn't take anything away from those loving acts…this doesn't mean they are less valuable…it just mean that when I am share I am also defining myself…it is okay to want better for myself…because I can then share with other…it is okay to want more for myself because then I can share more of the self with others…I am worthy of taking care of myself…that is not greedy…that is being healthy….I need to be healthy…I must be healthy…it is okay that I don't think being selfish is a bad thing…I don't want to be mean…I don't want to be greedy…but those are not the same a selfish…to be selfish is to choose to be the type of self I want to be.

10 Part Guide To Stopping Self-Sabotage | 33% Pain Relief Miracle When we are in a great deal of emotional or physical pain it can be a struggle to believe it can get better. We might believe that our situation can be manageable, but we have lost hope in true transformation. Once we feel hopeless, our natural state is not to take action. Subconsciously we understand that if better isn't possible, then taking action will be a waste of time. We choose to do nothing in order to save fruitless effort. Julie Schiffman has come up with the perfect tapping tool for times like these. Instead pushing ourselves to what feels unreasonable, it is a form of tapping were we simply wonder "what would happen if" our situation were to change. It is a very gentle tool that will move us from hopelessness to action. In this conversation not only does Julie share how to do it, she gives a great demonstration to which you can tap along.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle Anything that is new and different takes time to be accepted into the mainstream. EFT is no different. EFT has the added hurdle of often being paired with other practices and modalities that are outside the mainstream. In this conversation I talk with Manal Khalife about how we can best present EFT to individuals and communities who would not see the value of tapping, and might even perceive it as dangerous.

There is so much of the world that we do not control. We are surrounded by people, just like us, who are making choices and exercising their free will. In many ways, we can't escape the impact of other people's choices, especially when we are collaborating with others. That means we often have to wait on someone else to make a choice so that we can move forward with what we want to do. We can be worried that they will make a choice that we don't like OR we can feel stuck because we can't do anything until they choose. Here is a simple tap-along to find peace while waiting on others to choose. A full transcript of the tap-along can be found below the player.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle Once we have learned a basic skill, our ability to be successful while doing that skill is very dependent on how we are fteeling at the time of performing the action. If we feel confident, we will perform to the best of our ability and will be able to handle problems with grace and ease. If we feel worried or overwhelmed, we will make mistakes and not perform at our best. Gina Parris works closely with business professionals and athletes to help them to work at their peak state.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle Fear is one of our most primitive defense mechanisms. It is the reason that humans as a species exist. Our ability to notice danger and to feel are what keep us safe. The problem is that we don't live in the same world we did 10,000 years ago. We no longer need to be on guard at all times for fear of being eaten by wild animals. The way we feel fear has not evolved to match the world we live in. Because of this, our subconscious disposition is towards fear. This makes openness, connection, and love harder. This week I have a conversation with Rick Wilkes about fear, love, the primitive brain, and how we can use EFT to transform our daily experience to be filled with more love and more connection.

Rick's open-hearted broader perspective, amazing intuition, and great sense of humor always help me to get right to the core and effectively reframe whatever issue I have. Listening to him work with others has helped me to get in touch with stuff I didn't even know was there and inspired me in my own work with others. It is a blessing and honor to work with such a master." Rick's articles, programs, and products Thriving Now

33% Off Pain Relief Mircale Healthy boundaries are important for our wellbeing, both in the short and long term. The struggle comes when we encounter someone in pain. As caring people it can feel cold and heartless to create a boundary of any sort in this setting. This week I talk about how to create boundaries in a way that allows us to be loving, supportive people while also taking care of our own health. Then we do some tapping for the resistance to creating boundaries. I recognize the fact there is a swirl of information that is around me every single day...If I absorbed every piece of information and if I absorbed every emotion everyone experienced...Then it would be way too much...It would be overwhelming...It would be all-consuming...It would be impossible for me for me to be able to provide aid...I give myself permission to know that when I create good boundaries...I am not blocking the world out...I am not preventing those I need to be present to from having access to me...Instead I am making sure that when it is time for me to be fully present to someone in front of me that I can be fully present...As I start this day I give my sister permission to create helpful and helpful boundaries...To allow in the information that can make a difference...And to keep at bay any piece of information that is not useful to me...I know in doing this I am actually making a loving choice...Because I am ensuring that whenever I am present I am fully present...I trust my system to create helpful and helpful boundaries for me today.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle The emotional journey that mothers go through during the birth of their children is increasingly better understood. Birth is not only a physically taxing process, but it also takes a significant emotional toll. Because there is now a tiny little human that needs so much attention, it is very common for mothers to neglect their self-care. In many cases mothers even feel guilty for having any needs at all.

We feel like we don't belong because don't feel like we are smart enough, popular enough, pretty enough, or something else enough.

-- 33% off your first order of Pain Relief Miracle -- A few weeks ago I put out the call for your questions about EFT and how to best use it. I received a number of amazing questions. (Note: If you would like a question answered on a future podcast please send it to me via this link) In this episode I answer questions about: The phrases I use when I tap. Surrogate tapping for the physical and emotional needs of loved ones. How to use the SUDs scale when you don't like using numbers. Saying tapping phrases out loud when you are tapping alone.

When Gary Craig first introduced EFT he very intentionally presented it in a way in that encouraged others build upon his work, much in the same way he had built upon Roger Callahan's Thought Field Therapy (TFT). To stress this point, Gary named his new process Emotional Freedom Techniques. Please note the "s" on the end of Techniques, for all the different ways could be done. Matrix Reimprinting, which was developed by Founding EFT Master Karl Dawson, is one of the best known of the EFT iterations. In this interview we compare and contrast EFT to Matrix Reimprinting. Even if you have no plans to study Matrix Reimprinting, there are a number of tips you can take from this conversation to add to your tapping.

[33% of Pain Relief Miracle] Addiction to porn and sex can be crippling for individuals and devastating to couples. All types of addictions carry shame, but it is particularly acute where sexual and porn addiction are concerned. In this conversation Dr. Doug Weiss and I talk about the environmental conditions that can contribute to a sexual and porn addiction, the impact that this type of addiction can have, and how it can be treated. We also spend some time talking about those with partners suffering from sexual and porn addiction. Often times the loved one of addict doesn't realize that they need help as well. We discuss how the loved ones of addicts can get best care for themselves.

[33% Off Pain Relief Miracle] Before I commit to working with a new client we have a conversation to see if we will be a good fit for each other. First, I ask the potential client what they would like to change in their life. At this point they usually give me a clear description of what is wrong and I follow up by asking what they would like instead. They are often unable to answer the question because they are so stuck in their problem that they can't clearly see what they would like instead. Without a clear understanding of what we want it's hard, if not impossible, to move forward. One the key components of knowing what we want is having a clear idea of what we value. JB Glossinger found that once he was able clearly to name his top six values, changing his life and his lifestyle became much easier. In this conversation JB and I talk about the importance of naming our values, how to do just that, and how we can take action after our values are clear.

33% Pain Relief Miracle Even those just starting out with tapping know that Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) works via the meridian system. I know that when I am explaining tapping to the uninitiated I will just say, "It is like acupuncture without needles." When Roger Callahan first developed Thought Field Therapy (TFT), the precursor to EFT, he devised a system of tapping in which specific points were matched to particular issues. When Gary Craig developed EFT he decided that instead of determining which exact point would be best to tap on, it would be better just tap on all of them. For years I have wanted to learn more about the complexities of the meridian system. I have also wondered if that knowledge might improve my tapping. In this week's podcast my conversation with Beth Kearn, an acupuncturist, helped me to figure that out. Guest: Beth Kearn Contact Beth: web @ louisvillewellcenter.com About Beth: Beth is a fully licensed acupuncturist in the State of Colorado. She is a certified Diplomat (Dipl.Ac) by the National Certification Commission in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).

33% off Pain Relief Miracle | Ask a question for a future podcast. My favorite phrase that I hear from my clients when we are in the middle of a session is "this probably has nothing to do with it, but…" and then they share some story that seems unconnected. We usually find that a story coming out of left field like this has everything to do with it. It never ceases to amaze me how much we carry our past into each moment of our lives and how much that past impacts us. I have spoken to a number clients in the last few weeks who have felt that they weren't worthy of something good in the present because of a poor choice they made in the past. It is important that we take responsibility for our choices, but that does not mean that we have to remain a prisoner to our choices for all time. Here is a tap-along to help you face those past choices of which you are not proud.

-- 33% off Pain Relief Miracle -- It is natural to want credit for the work that we do. Being given credit and recognition feeds our healthy human need for being acknowledged as significant. It's normal to want to feel as though your contribution matters. Conflict can come up when we do not receive the credit we feel we deserve. When there is a sense of unfulfilled deserving it's easy to feel hard done by, which in turn can give rise to bitterness and resentment. This week I have a tap-along audio to help you when you are feeling bitter and resentful about not receiving the credit you are due. Even if this isn't an emotion you are aware of on the surface, I am willing to bet that is lurking at a deeper level. Do you have a question about tapping or topic you would like us to cover?

- 33% off Pain Relief Miracle - We can find ourselves in the middle of catastrophe in an instant. A catastrophe can impact us personally (like a fire in our home) or can involve our entire community (like a natural disaster or mass violence). When this happens we are faced with dealing with the issue in the moment and also its aftermath. In this conversation Jenn Goddard and I talk about how to respond in the moment, what to do in the short term, what to do in the long term, and how to gain perspective. We also do some tapping which could be helpful in such circumstances. This audio can be used two ways. First, it is useful to equip yourself with tools so that if you find yourself in a catastrophic situation, you are prepared. Second, in the middle of something tragic the tap-along will provide relief.

- 33% off PRM - There is a complicated relationship between reality and what we believe about the world. We behave as if our beliefs are true. We act as if our beliefs are reality.

33% Off Pain Relief Miracle When we are in the middle of a strong emotion it is hard to believe that our emotional state is a choice. In those moments it feels like an outside force has taken over our body and our experience. It is possible for us to gain more control over our emotional state and even get to a point where we are able to choose our emotional response. In this conversation Deborah Miller and I talk about how we are impacted by our emotions, what we can learn from that, and how we can change negative emotions into more positive ones.

We have control over very little in this world. We can control our thoughts, actions, and emotional responses. And that is about it. Because of this it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the barrage of negative news (of which we have had more than our fair share this week). When I am able to recognize what I do control and how powerful that control can be in my own life, the easier each moment is and the more powerful my action becomes. Here is a simple tap-along to help lift your mood (and bring hope) when it feels as if there is just too much to manage every day. EFT For Emotions In The Wake Of Tragedy

33% 0ff Pain Relief Miracle Before I ask a client what they want, I first ask them what they don't want. We are often unclear about what we want. We only know and want to stop what is uncomfortable, disappointing, and displeasing. In this conversation with EFT Founding Master Carol Look we talk about how we can use tapping to get clear about what we want and how to trust our judgment when we are making choices. This may seem like a simple and obvious skill to master, but once you do it will make a huge difference in your daily interactions.

33% off Pain Relief Wiracle When I talk about the tapping work I am doing on and for myself, the phrase I always return to is "being comfortable in my own skin". When I am comfortable with who I am in a situation, it is a lot easier for me to be my authentic self. When I am my authentic self, I don't make perfect choices, but I am much more likely to make the choices and take the actions that I will be happy with in the big picture. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to present at the Spring Energy Event outside New York City on this exact topic. In the presentation I share the reasons why we aren't comfortable in our own skin, how our life changes when we are, and a simple tapping exercise you can use to move towards being more comfortable in your own skin.

-- 40% Off Adv. Tapping Training | 33% Off PRM -- Animals are highly perceptive when it comes to understanding human emotion. So much so that many animals will pick up and take on the emotions of the humans they are with the most. In this week's podcast I have a conversation with Susanne Peach who has dedicated her career to working with and tapping for animals. She shares what happens when animals take on the emotions of their human companions and how best to tap for them. Susanne's Contact Info: web @ Animaleze.com, phone @ 303.926.5414, e-mail @ contact page About Susanne: Susanne Peach, Animal Energy Behaviorist, has been surrounded by animals her entire life. She has had the opportunity to study the energy of animals in many instances, from time spent on her godmother's farm in Germany to a designation as a certified wildlife rehabilitator.

She has dedicated her life to helping animals have emotionally happy and healthy lives, tapping for animals all over the world.

-- 40% Off Adv. Tapping Training | 33% Off Pain Relief Miracle -- As humans, one of our natural dispositions is to create stories about why the world functions the way it does. This is a primitive skill that kept our ancestors safe. For example, when we see tracks in the mud we write the story "These tracks were created by a large animal that will mistake me for dinner. I had better walk in the other direction." Because the function of these stories is to keep us safe, our subconscious mind is not satisfied if we don't have a story and will create one in its absence. That's why our actions can be influenced and guided by stories that are not true. This can happen with the stories we tell about ourselves about why we are the way we are and who we can be. In this conversation, Jacqui Crooks and I discuss these stories we have about ourselves that are no longer true and useful. She also shares how we can transform these stories. Guest: Jacqui Crooks Contact Jacqui: web @ JacquiCrooks.com About Jacqui: Jacqui is one of the pioneers in using Energy Psychology, finding EFT IN 1999. Her life's not been the same since!

She runs retreats in interesting places and trains EFT, worldwide. She presents at conferences and is one of the authors of EFT and Beyond.

-- 40% off Adv Tapping Training | 33% Pain Relief Miracle -- One of the reasons that EFT is so powerful is because of how easy it is to use, anytime, anywhere. You don't need someone else to tap with and it is super easy to have a daily tapping practice. But sometimes that is not enough. Sometimes you need help from the outside. It can also be beneficial to take time away from your daily life to work in a concentrated way. This week I talk with Joanne Callahan about the importance and power of going on a healing retreat.

--33% Off Your First Pain Relief Miracle Order-- A reality of modern life is our connection with others on social media. Social media in itself isn't good or bad; it's simply a tool we can use. On one hand social media channels can help us to find information we wouldn't know about, stay connected to loved ones, and connect with like minded people we wouldn't have met otherwise. On the other hand it can create a flood of information that can overwhelm us. Every time we check in we can see how others are doing so much better than us, which can create a feeling of shame. This week I have a conversation with Jenn Goddard about how we are impacted by social media and how we can tap to have a healthier experience with social media.

[33% Your First Pain Relief Miracel Order] If I were to sum up all of my own personal development work for the last decade I would say it has been a process of becoming more "comfortable inside of my own skin". For me that phrase describes not only being OK with myself, but being in a place where I recognize my own worth and feeling comfortable in acknowledging that worth. When I operate from that mindset I find that my daily life is easier and I make better choices. When author Gala Darling talks about the same concept she uses the term "radical self love". In this week's interview we talk about what radical self love means to her and what we can do to have more of it in our lives. One of the reasons that I wanted to interview Gala is because, unlike many of my interviewees, she is not a tapping practitioner but is someone who has found tapping to be a powerful tool in her own life. Guest: Gala Darling Contact: web @ GalaDarling.com; instagram @galadarling About: Gala Darling is an author, teacher, and speaker who has been teaching radical self love — a selection of powerful techniques and tools which help women transform their lives — for close to a decade. Her site, galadarling.com, helps a million women a month find their voice, live without fear, and fall in love with life. Born in New Zealand, she moved to NYC with one suitcase when she was 24 years old, and used radical self love to heal from an eating disorder and depression.

33% off Pain Relief Miracle There is an interesting phenomena that crops up when using EFT. Sometimes you can be using tapping successfully for a while, but then it stops working. There are two main reasons why this happens. In this week’s podcast we are going to explore both of these reasons and what you can do to make your tapping effective again.

[10 Question System | 33% off Pain Relief Miracle] If you are wondering if you have emotional blocks to taking action, I have a very simple way for you to tell. If you know what you want to do, know how to do it, have everything you need to take action, and still don't do it, then you have emotional blocks to taking that action. This week I interview EFT Universe's Dawson Church about what happens on a neurological level when emotions get in the way of action and how we can tap to find relief AND take action. During the interview I refer to a process I use to tap for my to-do list. Here is full audio on how I tap for my to-do list. Guest: Dawson Church, Ph.D Contact: web @ EFTUniverse.com Bio: Dawson Church is the author/coauthor of 8 books (including The Genie In Your Genes) and manages the web site EFTUniverse.com.

Off Pain Relief Miricle When I was in my twenties it felt as if I was going to live forever. I gave little thought to how I ate, when I went to bed, or how I treated my body in general. Now that I am in my forties there are mornings when I can tell exactly what I ate or drank the night before just by how my body feels. I'm not exactly sure when it happened. One day I felt like I was immortal, the next day not so much. In today's interview I talk with Gregg Levoy about the aging process, the emotions that accompany it, and how we can tap for that experience. During this interview we reference this article: Top Five Regrets of the Dying Guest: Gregg Levoy Contact: web @ GreggLevoy.com About Gregg: Gregg Levoy is the author of Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion, and the bestselling Callings: Finding and Following An Authentic Life rated among the "Top 20 Career Publications" by the Workforce Information Group.

[33% of Pain Relief Miracle] I am constantly amazed at how willing parents are to put their children first. It’s common for parents to make sure their child's needs are met before they do anything for themselves. As well meaning as this is, it can cause problems in the long term. By always putting their family first and not taking care of themselves parents can find themselves unable to be the best parent they could be. One of the most important ways that parents can take care of their children is to make sure they also take care of themselves. This week I interview Heather Chauvin about how parents can use tapping to be better parents.

[Comprehensive Anger Management For Free | 33% Off Pain Relief Miracle] There is a very primitive part of our nature that knows we are safest when we belong. This instinct was a key to survival for our nomadic ancient ancestors who sought safety in numbers at times of danger. While we no longer have to worry about being attacked by large animals, humans still have a strong instinct that tells us belonging means safety. This is one of the reasons it can feel so devastating when we let someone else down. In addition to not living up to our work or their expectations, letting down others triggers the fear of ostracisation and we feel unsafe as a result. Even if this is far from the reality of a situation, it is often how we respond emotionally. This week we tap for the fear of letting others down. Even if you can't think of a specific example in your life right now, it is likely that this issue is lurking below the surface. Take a few moments to tap along.

[Gene's book Comprehensive Anger Management] We all know that the more specific we can be when tapping, the more effective it will be. As a concept this is easy to understand, but in practice it is much harder to implement. Humans are complicated creatures. We can talk about the difference between our mind, body, and spirit, but the lines between these three are blurry. As a simple example, the thoughts in my mind can impact my physical body. To help manage the complicated system that we are, employing a healing framework as a lens to facilitate the healing process can be helpful. This week I have a conversation with Deborah Donndelinger about three such systems to help us find our way to root causes. Deborah compares and contrasts the three, shares how to use each, and which might be most useful for you based on the issues you are tapping for.

Here in the United States it already feels as if the Presidential election campaign has been going on for way too long. And we still have eight more months to go. The lead story (and often the first five stories) on the nightly news is invariably about the election. One of the most difficult parts of the election season is hearing most of the candidates talking about how bad everything is. They focus on negativity so that they can talk about how great they are and how they are the key to a brighter future. This sustained daily dose of negativity can take an emotional toll. This week I chat with Brad Yates about how we can participate in the process fully without being overwhelmed by the negativity. I have a feeling this is an interview you will come back to a number of times throughout the election season. Guest: Brad Yates Contact: twitter @EFTWizard; web @ TapWithBrad.com; facebook @ facebook.com/BradYatesTapping About Brad: Brad has had the privilege and pleasure of working with a diverse group of clients, from CEOs to professional and NCAA athletes, from chiropractors and psychiatrists to corporate and federal attorneys, from award-winning actors to residents at a program for homeless men and women in Santa Monica. For several years he taught a weekly class using EFT and guided imagery at Sacramento Drug Court. He has also been a presenter at a number of events, including several International Energy Psychology Conferences and the Walk On Water (WOW) Fest in Los Angeles.
