“Each word carries an emotional intensity that differs in each culture. The same word spoken by an enemy will have different intensity than when spoken by a friend. Certain words like forgiveness, acceptance, love, abundance, co-dependence etc carry a different intensity in each language.”

“We uncovered the real cause of the fear after only two sessions. It was a surprise to me, and to M as well.”

“In EFT, we are always on the lookout for core issues, but sometimes a core issue is so big, it’s like we’re standing too close to a large painting.

“To be clear about this: I’m not arguing that there is no place in EFT for the positive, that it’s all doom and gloom. Quite the contrary, there is an excellent place for the positive – it’s after the negative has been resolved and there is room for it to go in without opposition.”

An easier, kinder, and gentler way to reach inner peace and the clarity to move on with our lives.”

“My experience tells me that usually the addiction is an attempt at a solution, and we need to hear and understand its message. In this article I would like to give you an idea of how to work with the problem, using EFT, to find the solution that will be hidden in it.”

“If I experience ‘stress moments’ in between my tapping times, I silently massage the sore spot on my chest (when in public) or go directly to the tapping points that I have discovered are most effective for me, which are under my eyes and on my collar bone, and that helps me stay balanced and focused.”

“I told Menaka that we can deal with abuse only when she feels comfortable enough to do so. It is important not to introduce trauma work in the beginning of the session itself unless the client is ready. I started working with her on general family issues.”

“Almost as a joke I started tapping on myself whilst she concentrated on navigating the crowded narrow streets. To the amazement of both of us her headache eased to a 6 then a 2 and then she forget it had ever been there.”
