Tap4Health EFT Practice News
22 June 2006

It seems part of clearing our emotional issues is resolving the traumatic experiences we had while at school. In this newsletter, I appeal to all parents out there to please, please, please learn the basics of EFT and tap on, tap with and tap for your children as often as possible.

If you invest the time now to resolve their hurts, fears and rejections these disturbance in their energy systems won't be buried deep and require several session in my practice in 20 years time to resolve.

As an adult, we sometimes underestimate the impact that a school incidence can have on our children. Our brain is always searching for meaning and will create all sorts of beliefs from the most trivial of looks or behaviour from others. A child does not yet have our adult ability to put things in perspective, so being snubbed in the playground can install a belief that something is wrong with me and I'm never going to be loved and everyone else is better than me.

So again I would ask parents now to work with your child to heal the wounds earlier rather than later. A simple way to do this is, as often as you can, ask your child about their day and as they tell you about it tap on yourself and have them tap on themselves.

Doing the exercise above, forget about the using the formal EFT "Even though I have this ...., I completely love and accept myself". Remember that the purpose of this affirmation is to keep us focused on the problem. When your child is telling you about their day they are already tuned into what is going on so just tap through the points as they talk.

To learn the basics of EFT, you can download the free EFT manual or sign-up for 1-hour Introduction to EFT seminars.

Happy tapping,

    Try EFT on everything: Learning a second language

    A recent client, lets call her 'Bonnie', came to see me regarding other matters but was also struggling to express herself in English which was not her native language. When I asked Bonnie to describe the frustration she described a large bubble with a very small rectangular window in it. The bubble represented her ability to be articulate and make herself understood in her native language and the small window represented what she was capable of expressing in English.

    We tapped on the frustration of learning and using English and the frustration of not being able to express herself and not being able to make herself clearly understood. After each round of tapping, when she imagined the bubble and the window, the window would be larger and larger.

    In the following week, Bonnie reported being much more relaxed in her ability to talk in English and found that the words flowed more easily.

    Even if English is your primary language we all feel frustrated at times with our ability to express what we're thinking or feeling. See if you can remember a specific situation in which you struggle to express yourself and try some of these phrases:

    • Even though I struggle to say what I'm feeling, I choose to stay calm.
    • Even though I get flustered under pressure and blurt out something I don't mean and hurt others, I choose to forgive myself for saying these things.
    • Even though I'm hurt when others don't understand how I'm feeling, I completely love and accept myself and take responsibility for my part in communicating how I feel.
    • Even though I don't think I'm smart enough to use fancy words to explain myself, I choose to remember that $5 words can be just as effective as $50 words.
