Thought for the Day: "We come this way but once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope that we get to death without being too badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals and realizing our wildest dreams." Bob Proctor, Radio and TV personality, success trainer
Today's EFT Quote: "This will be my second order for your DVDs, I loved the previous sets so much I can't wait to learn more." Joyce Browning
Today's Helpful Hint: EFT is a remarkable tool but Mastery of EFT involves an art. A painter, for example, is just a painter if all s/he knows is confined to the tools of painting (i.e. colors, palettes, brushes and canvases). But when imagination, creativity and experience are blended with the tools then ... and only then ... do masterpieces evolve. By comparison, many people are satisfied with The EFT Basics. Good! They will help a lot of people. However, they are not artists and will be mystified on occasion when it appears that EFT "doesn't work." There are no shortcuts to Mastery. You either invest the necessary time and develop the "art of delivery" or you don't.

Featured Article #1: Persistent EFT for chubby issues: While this article by Emily P. doesn't go into specific EFT tapping details, it does an excellent job of getting behind the type of issues that cause people to carry more pounds than necessary. A good read. Email Emily
Featured Article #2: Useful thoughts on integrating EFT within the military: Kiya Immergluck shares her thoughts about the "macho" environment within the military and the built-in resistance to getting EFT integrated therein. She says, "Despite efforts to reduce the stigma of getting treatment, officials say they fear that generals and other senior leaders remain unwilling to go for help, much less talk about it, partly because they fear it will hurt their chances for promotion. Since there is still a stigma in the broader American culture against psychiatric help, it is especially problematic in the "macho" atmosphere of the Armed Forces." Email Kiya andVisit her website
Featured Article #3: A detailed and professional session regarding EFT for rape -- with one year follow-up: Here's a quality approach for this devastating problem by Sejual Shah of the UK. She skillfully displays many EFT principles and says, "More than a year since our work, she continues to feel neutral about the event. She obviously wishes it had never happened, but recognises that it no longer has to hold her back. She has made further significant changes in her life to help her express her identity more freely."

Past Articles from the EFT Website
- Stubborn client, PTSD, hidden aspects and psychological reversal: This letter originally went to an EFT practitioner and was also referred to me. I thought you might find the discussion helpful. The practitioner begins, "I have been working with a Vietnam Vet for years and just started using Gary's universal algorithm for his PTSD and sense of hopelessness regarding his recent surgery, and after running the algorithm through four times, he only dropped to a 9 and then wouldn't move. I did everything but collarbone breathing. Is that the next step and if so, why?"
- Bonnie's fear of stairs: This case is relatively straightforward but is filled with facets that merit our attention. At an appointment with four members of the firm that mass produces our DVD training sets, I met "Bonnie" who was a new member of this team and had just seen ourEFT Course. She was quite interested in the part with Becci and her fear of mice & rats and took me aside to ask for help with her multi-phobias. These included fears of heights, stairs and freeway driving.
- Using EFT for Plantar Fasciitis: Around the mid 1980's, I was diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. The resulting foot pain was so severe that I crawled on my hands and knees around the house rather than walk on my feet. This was well before EFT was born and thus it took about three weeks of resting my feet for it to heal completely. Fortunately, my daily activities allowed me to stay off my feet. But what would have happened if my occupation required me to be on my feet every day...such as being a mail carrier? Such was the case with Marian Slaman's client in this article. Please note how this case shows good results for awhile and then "comes back." It was not until Marian addressed emotional issues that the problem cleared up.
- Rape by a "friend"--PTSD and suicidal thoughts: Laura Campbell, LCSW demonstrates how EFT can be used effectively without dragging the client through the painful memories of the past. As she recounts"I recently had a woman come to me for serious symptoms related to a rape by a "friend" that had occurred 5 years ago. She had PTSD symptoms with suicidal thoughts and inability to be sexual with her husband of 4 years...I find these cases so rewarding--people just don't have to suffer the way they used to. I know relieving their pain can change the course of their lives. What a privilege we have!!"
- Tapping the finger points and the value of a hug: Stephanie Rothman asked me about the value of tapping on the finger points. She noted that some people are doing it and wondered if I had any comment on it. Sure! As you know, the shortcut version of EFT completely ignores the finger points. I have made little or no use of them for many years and continue to have very high percentage success rates without them. However, further comments are offered in the article.
- Headache, projection and persistence: Here's an interesting case that most of us can benefit by. An EFT'er, call her Sherry, called me with a headache (a 7). She had been using EFT on it most of the day but was making no headway. She was losing faith. Maybe EFT "didn't work any more." I helped her over the phone and made a little headway (down to a 5) but it came right back up almost immediately. This coming-back-up-immediately feature is sometimes indicative of energy toxins but I never make that conclusion unless all other avenues have been exhausted.
