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

Support the podcast! One of the biggest questions about the tapping is how we know if it really works or if the positive shifts it produces are just down to some sort of placebo effect. Dr. Peta Stapleton finds herself in a unique situation. As a college professor charged with supervising a number of master's level students and their research projects, she has a disposition that is inclined toward...

Support the podcast! Releasing weight is about much more than simply knowing you should eat better and exercise more. First, there are usually a number of emotional blocks to making healthy choices and, second, even when we make the right choices, our system may still cling to the extra pounds. This week I have a conversation with Terran Leigh about the most effective ways that you can use tapping...

Support the podcast! In 1993 Tapas Fleming developed an acupressure technique that was later named TAT (Tapas Acupressure Technique). In many ways it is a sister protocol to EFT.

Guest: Tapas Fleming Contact: web @ TATlife.net ; twitt...

Support the podcast! I am always amazed when I stay with my friends and family who have small children.

Support the podcast! My clients constantly tell me, "I know I should be tapping, but I don't want to spend time stuck in yukky negative emotions." I can sympathize. Connecting with and feeling our negative emotions isn't much fun. Even though tapping is a powerful tool to shift them, it makes sense that we avoid what is uncomfortable. This week I have a tap-along audio filled with positive affirma...

  Over the years I have been asked a number of times about how to tap for fibromyalgia. Unfortunately I have not been of much help as I have no experience working with this complex condition and all of the practitioners I have reached out to have reported achieving inconsistent results at best. For this reason I have been searching for the right guest to interview for the topic and I'm happy to sa...

Support the podcast! Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a very powerful tool for helping us to return to a clear and calm emotional state. The phrase "emotional freedom" is right there in the name. Because of this, I think it is easy to forget how powerful a tool it is for dealing with physical pain. Personally, I continue to be bewildered and amazed at how effectively tapping works for physica...

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...

My tiny NYC apartment feels much more open and comfortable bec...

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 unwo...

Yes, I understand the irony of asking y...

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.

They are a community of over 37 trillion cells that are working togeth...

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 w...
