Emotional Freedom Technique is a wonderful tool for healing physical and emotional discomforts. The tagline for EFT is "try it on everything". Some of the issues with which I've used EFT: Crohn's disease, TMJ, arrhythmia, headaches, endometriosis, insomnia, couples counseling, PTSD, fear of spiders, weight loss, to stop smoking, stress reduction, in labor and childbirth, and self confidence.

WSOP 50! Very exciting & stressful! Here's a quick 5 minute tapping sequence to help center yourself. If you are new to tapping, just follow along & repeat what I say. Extra credit if you are doing this at the Rio and don't give a crap what people think about you tapping yourself in public! :) Good luck & enjoy yourself!

6 minutes of tapping together to take the edge off for folks feeling at their wits end, depressed, or lonely. Tap along and repeat after me. Change the words if they don't seem to fit quite right. Pay attention to yourself & your body. Make a note of thoughts that occur & any shifts that you experience. Those will be the thoughts to tap on as a next step. Send me questions if you need clarification or help.

Grab one of the foods you crave and join me to take control of your eating patterns. You can replace my craving words (Reese's) with your food of choice. Re-play the video if you need a second go-around to get your craving down to zero. Happy tapping - you got this!!

Sequence for relieving pain and stress of endometriosis, adenomyosis, and accompanying issues.

Found an EFT video you like, but it's not your exact issue? Try "borrowing benefits" by tapping along anyway. If the person that created the video gels with you, take a crack at helping yourself!

If you spend time on the computer, you probably know exactly how this feels. Tap with me to help with tech neck & computer crunch!

Here's the challenge....be you, be brave, be bold...put yourself "out there" without filters and editing. Just heed your call to courage, and know that you're enough just as you are. A rising tide lifts all boats...let's soar together. I know that was two modes of transportation...but that gives us even more latitude for being freaking awesome! Run, jump, float, fly, crawl....but be you & know that you are something special. I'm glad you're here. ** For those of you who hung in with me through the whole video....I do know where my nose is. :) See how I was just being me? **

5 minutes to help squelch the craving to smoke. Everyone's smoking habits / reasons differ, yet you can benefit from tapping along with this video. If you are wanting a smoke...write down the intensity of your craving (0 - 10 scale), tap along, then check back in and see if it's gone down a bit. If there are thoughts that come up for you while you are tapping, note those and use them for your next tapping round. Add in the words "still" or "continued" on the next round...for example: "I'm still craving a cigarette." "I continue to need a smoke."

"Of one thing I am certain, the body is not the measure of healing, peace is the measure." Phyllis McGinley Yay! I used EFT to get rid of my pain! That’s great, right? But, wait….if I had the ability to do that all along, why didn't I fix everything? And why do I start hurting again? Let’s do a little work on the mixed feelings that can come up during the healing process.

Quick technique to use during EFT sessions when you are at a low number and possibly have hit a plateau.

Original (Gold Standard) EFT used and algorithm nicknamed "the ham sandwich". You would tap on an issue for a round or two, then do the 9 Gamut, and tap on the issue again. The 9 Gamut itself is a blend of acupressure and neurolinguistic programming. Odd looking, but works great.

The emotional freedom technique (EFT) is a mix of acupressure, psychology, neurolinguistic programming, and right/left brain activity. EFT is very flexible, very forgiving, and can be used on just about anything.

Simple tapping for children missing someone because of separation (not death). There are always many variations for any situation. This is one option.
