Recently, a friend of ours was taking care of her two grandsons, aged three and eighteen months. The youngest child had difficulty settling in and going to sleep. My friend used EFT to help her grandson fall sleep. The first night it took five minutes of tapping. The second night two minutes, and the third night only 30 seconds. After being successful at it, the next night her husband tried it. It didn’t work. Why not?

I immediately bought copies for my wife, Linda, and my two daughters. If you don’t yet have the book, I highly recommend getting it. Here’s what Linda has to say about Everyday Bliss.
Read MoreIn doing EFT you might get nice changes going from a 10 to a two or one, but not get to a zero. When this happens, very often I ask the question, “What prevents you from getting to a zero,” or “Would you be willing to go to a zero if you knew it was safe to make that change?” If the answer is yes, it’s a matter of rephrasing the setup statement to include a safety wording such as, “Even though I feel [whatever the issue is], I choose to get to a zero knowing I will feel safe and secure. If the answer is no, play with discovering what the resistance is. You might ask, “What would it take for you to know that it was safe to change?”
Read MoreLet’s say that you’re doing a round of EFT for an issue that bothers you. How are you experiencing this issue? What’s behind the emotion? Quite often, it may be a visual component — a mental picture. Or, it could be a smell or a sound. For example, you might internally “hear” someone yelling at you. Last week I did EFT with a client who had a high degree of anxiety over earthquakes and aftershocks that were occurring daily. He had a full color close-up image of an earthquake event. Within a few minutes of doing a few rounds of EFT, the client’s “earthquake picture” became blurry and in black and white. He went from a SUDS level of 10 to a one. It no longer bothered him, nor could he get it back to a disturbing intensity. It’s good to learn something about NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) when doing EFT. Dr. Alexander R. Lees offers some good information on NLP here.
Read MoreStress overload sucks away your energy, your health and well-being. The common cultural belief about stress is that if you’re not stressed, you’re not working hard enough. Right? Stress equals success? Wrong. It’s better to be in the “flow.” This is the mental state defined by positive psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. In the “flow” is being fully immersed in what you’re doing by having a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. EFT helps you get in the flow by releasing blocked or negative energy that results from stress.
