As a practitioner, EFT mentor, and trainer (over 2000 clients and students around the world) I can say that I consistantly see the same mistakes among tappers. The one thing I hear most often from a new client (even practitioners who are my clients) is that they just aren't making progress and ...

"I [client anonymity requested] was a victim of a knife attack and was left for dead. I survived with physical problems and emotional problems. I had a couple sessions of EFT and have had significant relief in the pain. Everything has not gone away completely, but when I have pain, I can tap and feel better again." I can get rid of headaches easily with tapping. My dreams are not nightmares anymore. I have woken up to anxiety attacks in the night and have tapped to calm myself down and go back to sleep. Before I would be awake for at least an hour if not hours.

During my “Inner Abundance” courses, I get numerous questions from participants who want to know how they can use Affirmations and EFT to improve their financial situation. This theme seems to be a source of problems for many people, and I hope this article (and those following it) clarifies the EFT approach a little. The primary concept is as follows: We live in an intention-drive Universe Life unfolds according to our inner intentions. I addressed this concept in a previous blog about inner thoughts. Whatever you think about yourself is true.

PTSD is taking a HUGE toll on our society, particularly in our returning veterans, journalists, fire and police personnel, EMTs and first responders to any emergency or disaster.nnPTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is the name given to memories of horrid happenings that continue to haunt the individual. Common symptoms are nightmares and inability to sleep, uncontrollable rage and unreasonable aggression, severe depression, suicidal and sometimes homicidal tendencies and g

Just forty minutes of EFT dissolved a lifetime of pain and grief for a birth mother that I worked with, and gave her back her life. I specialize in working with adoptees and birth mothers, and would like to share a story about a birth-mom client that I recently worked with. Nancy (not her real name) was birth mother to a 16 year old daughter relinquished in what was supposed to have been an open adoption. An agreement was reached betwee Nancy and the adoptive parents which was supposed to have provided for regular visits with the daughter that Nancy relinquished.

I have just started a new six-week teleclass series on chronic illness, Tap Into Your Healthy Self, and in the first teleclass we discussed, and used EFT on, the downside of being well and healthy. This is a concept which continues to fascinate me. The first reaction to there being a downside to being well and healthy is most likely to be one of surprise and sometimes, anger. Everyone wants to be well, don’t they? No one chooses to be ill. Or do they? Is remaining chronically ill a way to remain safe and unpressurised?

Picture this: you are focused on being, not doing. You are fully present in the now of this moment. And then this moment. And now this moment. You are at peace. You flow with every circumstance and gift life has to offer, and life continues to offer you more and more amazing gifts. How can a life without goals work? Enjoy every moment. Appreciate every experience. Every day life presents new things to you. Each one is a gift. Whether you see it as a gift at the time or not, it is a gift. Sometimes the most difficult experiences can be the greatest gifts.

Is it useful to describe EFT as energy medicine? To many people the phrase energy medicine suggests a religious or alte ative lifestyle. Lots of websites associate energy medicine with spiritual healing. Since many mainstream searchers of alte ative healing are not comfortable with the energy soul-spirit idea, the energy medicine label places unnecessary limits on the appeal of EFT to the broadest population at a time when we want to encourage the world to ‘try it on everything’.

Been wondering if you made a smart decision to start your own business? Have you bought every recommended business book, e-book, video and audio set or invested in a business coach's mentoring program that cost thousands a month or a year? You know what you should be doing to succeed, but can't bring yourself to make cold calls or public appearances and speeches. You can't even write a business plan, daily schedule, marketing newsletter or articles. You're frozen in fear, stuck in procrastination, struggling to pay your bills. r

As an EFT practioner, I was curious how this technique would work on clients who were pessimistic about trying it.

Being a birthmom myself, this is an issue that is near and dear to my heart. I spent many years feeling that I did not have the right to search for my son. When the social worker at the adoption agency told me that by signing the relinquishment papers I was giving up my right to ever have my son in my life again, I believed her. Emotionally, I tucked my son away in a corner of my mind, and only acknowledged him when he snuck out for birthdays, holidays or other special occasions.

I used to think it was all about the money. Reaching the end goal. Partly, because I’m really results-oriented and partly because of my background in corporate. It was always about winning and being successful. Boom! That’s where the rewards always were. In corporate, my boss called to congratulate me for the first big multi-million dollar project I won. And, in the same breath, he said, “what are you doing for us next?” Setting goals and achieving them. That was my pattern and I was very successful at it.r

Many of us enjoy charitable giving, as it not only helps us to give to those that are in need but it can also benefit us at the end of the tax year. That doesn't mean, however, that you should simply give to the first charitable organization that you see. Some careful consideration needs to be given to the charity because you want to make sure that the majority of the gifts that you give are going to be distributed to those in need. That is true, regardless of whether you are

In a coaching session the other day, one of my multi- 6-figure clients was talking about all of the ways he has been procrastinating. He hasn’t been writing his weekly ezine. He admitted he felt stressed out and that there weren’t enough hours in each day. Although, he did confess he was spending lots of time on Facebook and watching television. I shared with him a lot of strategic “time management “ and operational ideas that I’m known for. He was on the other side of the phone eagerly writing down this information.r

My speciality with EFT is helping people overcome emotional and physical stress related issues. I helped “Jane” with her food cravings and start her on the road to success with healthy diet to lose her additional 20 pounds. “Jane” worked two jobs and had a weakness for potato chips which were easily available at the snack bar near her desk at her evening part time job. She also had chips every day at lunch. This was the major contribution to her weight gain.

The strangest thing happened to me the other day. I was invited to the Cape (aka Cape Cod for those of you outside Massachusetts), and my response was I needed to check my schedule. Wow! That response stopped me dead in my tracks. The invitation was for 3 weeks away that was certainly enough notice to reschedule the 8 appointments that were scheduled during that time frame.r

Bill is part of my extended family. Though 89, he has remained quite active. He loves taking care of the exotic tropical plants in his yard. They remind him of the years he and his wife lived in Hawaii. He also enjoys getting out and walking their two little dogs in the park.n nMy mother told me that Bill had recently fallen and fractured his pelvis. This came after back surgery. Confined to crutches and a walker for two months, Bill needed a lot of help from his wife, Bettie

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into” - Wayne Dyer Abundance is an energy that we are a part of naturally. Abundance does not just mean having lots of money. However, if lots of money is what you really want, go for it! An excellent question to ask is – what do we really really really really (yes, four) want? It is amazing that people do not even ask themselves this question. Being clear about what you want is very important. Feeling abundant will attract the same energy to you. What does abundance mean?

In the late '80s, a partner and I led fire walks. We made some observations regarding the emotional states of the participants as they were stepping onto the hot coals. We observed that some states were safe to be in while on the coals while others were not. Arrogance, for example, often led ...

Childhood beliefs hold on to us so strongly without us even realizing they are still there. The use of tapping frequently helps adults quickly recognize what they are and then evaluate these beliefs to see how and if they still fit into their lives. Recently, I worked with a client named David, a middle-aged businessman. He contacted me as a referral from a previous client and was seeking relief from his work stress level. During a session, we were discussing what issues were coming up from all of this stress.

__________________________________________________ This story is a wonderful of using EFT to help a client receive wonderful results and postpone his needed surgery.. I recently worked with a client, Harold, a gentleman in his 70’s whose doctor had told him that he had a heart arrhythmia -irregular heart beat. His doctor was monitoring him for surgery for a pace maker. Harold’s strong negative emotions for the surgery made him open to “try anything” (within reason) - which is why, a fairly conservative man was open to try tapping.

Recently I got a phone call from the distraught mother of a potential groom. This mother called me because her son was supposed to get married in just a few days, and was suddenly getting cold feet and telling his mom that he wasn’t sure he could go through with it. Her first question to her son was “Do you love her?”, referring to her soon to be daughter in law. The answer was an immediate YES! The next question was “So what’s the problem?”. It turned out that the problem was her son’s doubts about himself. What if he failed miserably at marriage?

It’s the end of the year, time for the holidays and you’re wrapping up your year’s end and thinking about next year. You’re wondering what will 2012 bring? Recently, I spoke to one of my private clients and we reviewed all she’s accomplished in the last few months of us working together (including significantly increasing her income!). She shared with me how she had a party to celebrate and honor her successes. I thought that was a fabulous idea! So, as you’re saying goodbye to 2011, take time to celebrate and honor all you’ve accomplished this past year.

I am birthmother to a 41 year old son. Back when I was pregnant with him, mine was a shameful secret, because only “bad girls” got pregnant. I’m happy to say that the world has changed a lot in that respect. Girls who become pregnant today face a very different set of problems tha I did. Many girls today even chose to keep and raise their children, an opportunity that was not imaginable 40 years ago. Over the last 18 years I have gotten to know many birthmothers who relinquished their children in the sixties and seventies.

Why do you tap? To get rid of something? To tap away something? Because you are sick to death of feeling the way you do? Because you want it gone? Because you are ready to scream? Just imagine that a pain or dis-ease is the only way your body can get your attention. It is your body's way of communicating with you. The more you do not pay attention to you and your body, the louder, more progressive and chronic the pain becomes. Now, just imagine that pain is a feeling you had as a three year old. Imagine you felt rejected or unwanted because of something.

“I have come to realize more and more that the greatest disease and the greatest suffering is to be unwanted, unloved, uncared for, to be shunned by everybody, to be just nobody [to no one].” Mother Teresa According to the Oxford English dictionary disease is defined as “a disorder of structure or function in a human, animal, or plant, especially one that produces specific symptoms”. The origin of the word comes from old French and means “lack of ease”. Ease is defined as “an absence of difficulty or effort” in the Oxford English dictionary.

Based on your past experiences, you will then assign your own meaning to the Event.

Adoption search is a complex topic. There are so many things that can happen during or at the end of a search that it boggles the mind. Adoptees in search of birth families seem to have the best track record. Since they have access to non-identifying information, they have an advantage over birth family members. Their adoptive parents may also have information, even identifying information, conce ing their family of origin. All of this can be extremely helpful in a search. At the end of an adoptee’s search, the situation can go in different ways.

When I was a flight attendant (back when it was actually fun to be one), I worked with so many different types of personalities. One crew member was so silly and dramatic. I remember him so clearly. He was able to get away with saying anything and passengers would just laugh. He had the absolute best delivery. One of his famous lines to passengers asking if he had an extra pen they could use was, “Do you mean to tell me you’re traveling internationally and you didn’t bother to bring a pen. That doesn’t seem very smart”.

Something occurred to me today. When we create, we are fully alive. Maybe I’m most aware of this because I create all the time now, in my mind and in the physical dimension too. As a business owner, creation is an amazing cycle that begins with a tiny notion or idea, then grows and blossoms ...

By Frosty Wooldridge Sometimes in life, no matter your stature, success, sartorial dress, rich or modest home, friends and magnificent job—you may come to a point of getting down on yourself.

When I was interviewed for the Inner Healing Compass teleseminar series, I talked about how setting healthy boundaries can prevent long term physical pain and illness. I’ve considered this a lot lately, because it seems that most of the work I do with clients is based around feeling safe enough to set boundaries and avoid compromise. One of my clients felt compromised and the result was that her allergies flared up.

Why? Most of these programs do not address the real deal. They leave an important part of the equation out.
