“I knew old feelings of self-consciousness and awkwardness could make for one long, miserable evening if I didn’t do some tapping.”

“When you feel criticized, there are always a number of aspects that you can tap on to remove the sting. First is the remark itself. It’s often helpful just to tap as you repeat the words that were said. Second is how it makes you feel, especially how it makes you feel about yourself…”

“We judge ourselves against our peers but we often retain the wounds of those beliefs into adulthood even though our adult minds know better. Our hearts and subconscious minds don’t. That is why all the intellectual reasons we give ourselves why we should ‘know better’ don’t work. We have to pull out those thorns that still make us hurt deep down.”

“I think so often when we are ‘stuck’ with a negative belief process or trauma, what keeps it so locked in place is our lack of acceptance and love. When we shine the light of love and kindness through acceptance on an issue, it is like the sun burning off the clouds…”

“For me, this session represents the depth of inner wisdom each of us carries. It also reveals the profound emotional healing we can consistently experience during a fully explored EFT session, especially one that includes creative use of inner visualizations.”

“After around 2 or 3 rounds of tapping on being ashamed and humiliated that she was totally out of control in this one area of her life but so great in many others – she had an insight: She realized that she had always felt embarrassed and ashamed, like she wasn’t really ‘good enough’ and it wasn’t just about this issue.”

“I asked Joyce what specifically she feared. She answered that she was afraid she wouldn’t live up to their expectations. She reflected that it was her old “I’m not as good” story. She detailed how her story had been perpetuated by the parents, partners and friends she chose.”

“As I began tapping on each point in the Sequence, some new realizations began to dawn on me, so I intuitively began to say whatever came to mind on each of the points. I knew I was on the right track because (1) I began feeling better and (2) my eyes and nose began watering like crazy…”

“Fear is a major reason for keeping us stuck. Most of the time though, the fear is worse than actually doing it! EFT can really help us eliminate our fears.”

“That was about 2 months ago. I’m now running about 3 times a week, and have been able to consistently increase the distance that I can run in one go. I actually look forward to it and enjoy it.”
