Why I Disagree With My EFT Hero And What You Can Do

I often see bitter and angry comments (no doubt from people who were as starry-eyed as I once was), about anything that is not Gold Standard or Optimal EFT. This is why I ask for open minds, open hearts, and more positivity. It is all too easy for people to attack what is out there that brings people to EFT. Take The Tapping Solution, for example. Nick Ortner was criticized very heavily when he first started it.

Emotional Freedom Free Tip To Increase Self-Confidence

If you are looking to think more confidently, what you want is a mind that is controlled by you yourself rather than those all too familiar negative and self-critical thoughts that creep in. Well, in EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, those negative and critical thoughts are said to be kept active by an energy disruption. So by releasing it and helping your energy flow, your thoughts turn more to self-confidence.

Registration With The UK Reiki Council Pros and Cons

As someone who has sat on the then Reiki Regulatory Working Group in the UK, now known as the Reiki Council, I am delighted to see how seriously Reiki is being taken in the UK now. Of course, there are many that do not realise the benefits. However, at the end of the day, it is about choice. A Reiki Healer can choose to be officially recognised or choose not to. It is always good to have choices.

EFT Tapping to Christina Aguilara's "Beautiful" Song

Want to feel more self-confident? Want a better image to project to others? Start by forgetting everything you see in the papers and in magazines about the supposedly perfect body image: So you walk into a dinner party or family gathering and instantly feel awful because you are not the thinnest, strongest, blondest, blackest, biggest-eyed, smallest-nosed, or whatever the press says you should be.

Survivors of Neglect or Abuse in Childhood - Self-Esteem

If you have been abused as a child in any way and this affects your confidence, first of all recognize that the love has to come from you. This is hard, if you have been trained by parents/guardians/people in authority that you were not lovable. Of course, this is to justify their abusive actions. But the net result is your feeling unlovable. So how can you love yourself if you believe you are unlovable? What a conundrum. However, it is not without solutions.

EFT Tapping In The Dissociated State

There are now many variations on EFT as the techniques and their variations develop. Here is one simple way to do EFT, otherwise known as Tapping, amongst many other variations.

Blast those negative self-statements with EFT

We all berate ourselves from time to time. Some of us more than others. And constant negative self-talk cannot be helpful for our self-esteem and self-confidence. You can try noticing next time you hear a critical voice inside your head. Be aware of what it is saying to you, and let us diffuse it with EFT. EFT, short for Emotional Freedom Techniques, has the power to release emotional blocks completely. It does this by a specific combination of stimulation of acupressure points along with releasing wording. So EFT is great at diffusing and dissolving negative self-talk!

The New 419 Hitting Therapists on Social Media

There is a new 419-type activity coming from a far-Easte country. This is especially important to note if you are in an industry where confidentiality is needed. For example, if you are a therapist. Someone from a business online networking site I belong to has tried to do some very dodgy deal with me away from the site. He contacted me on Skype and asked that I keep his contact confidential. Naturally, as a healer, I thought he had a problem that he wanted to solve for which he wanted reassurance it will remain confidential. So I agreed.

Improve Your Self-Esteem With Tapping Away This Self-Judgement

We are our own worst enemies sometimes. We can be so cruel to ourselves. "How could I have posibly said That?", "I'm too fat", "How could I have done something so colossally stupid?", "I don't have anything interesting to add to the conversation", "Surely this person will not like me when they really get to know me", "I'll never be as good as this person at this job", and so on.

Self-Love EFT Tip - Let Us Start With Calm-Happy-Ish

You may have suffered some low moments, maybe friends tell you you should love yourself more, or perhaps a therapist has suggested it. You may have read various self-help books about how to find this elusive self-love, all in vain. Whenever you look to improve your self-confidence, up pops self-love in yet another book, manual, therapy session, or workshop. "Enough already", you may think, "I have tried this self-love thing, and it's not working. Why can't I just be calm or happy without this loving myself stuff?"... And that is a really good point.

When To Give Help And Advice And When Not To

When should we give help or advice and when should we bite our tongue and let the matter be? It is a hard call sometimes. What to do when faced with an urge to say or do something which we perceive to be helpful, even essential? But is it really? How can we really tell? We all want to help others. Well, most of us anyway. Altruism is often said to be a quality that has evolved in us in order to live together as a society. But when we want to help others, when are we truly being helpful and when are we making things worse?

Tapping For Confidence With Good Qualities EFT

Many of us are taught that self-praise is selfish and immodest. Some have even been taught that it was wrong. Or perhaps it was indirectly inferred that it was wrong. For example, we may as children have heard our mother, father or teacher say "look at her, she's so full of herself" or look at him, he is always bragging about his latest car". Some of us are even taught that we must be "humble", be ashamed of ourselves, or not blow our own trumpet.
