I am so pleased and relieved to be beginning the new year with a new bridge connecting my home and office to the outside world. Enjoying the simple pleasures of pulling into my driveway to unload groceries instead of carting them over the footbridge and though the mud in a wheelbarrow, the security of getting a fuel delivery at last, and being able to turn on the heat…
Since Hurricane Irene destroyed our bridge, I have been pondering the metaphoric significance of bridges in my life. Bridges as connection, as links, as the pathway from one place or state to another… What does it mean when connections are suddenly severed? How do we adapt to un-expected events that change how we live our lives? How we feel safe when the structures that we rely upon are taken away? (more…)

We humans tend to focus on what’s wrong, and like a dog licking a sore paw, we go over and over our stuff. The Energy Psychology technique EFT is one of my favorite techniques for clearing stuff and finding balance. It provides a unique way to expand your focus, to broaden your view and create some welcome space for healing.
In EFT, we use words to bring the issue, problem, trauma, whatever to our consciousness, and then tap on acupuncture meridian points (known as Meridian Tapping) to clear the energetic connection to the problem. We also expand our focus to find a place of balance. Even though I have this problem, I am also something greater than this problem; there is a larger reality, a bigger picture, a place of balance and peace. (more…)

One of my favorite teachers, Byron Katie, talks about loving what is; letting go of our innate, knee-jerk reactions of “I don’t like this, this is not what I want, this situation, this person, life should be different,” and just being present and accepting what is. Living in the Northeast this winter has been an interesting exercise in acceptance, in learning to be with what is, in this case snow, snow and more snow!
In my EFT work, a common tapping phrase that I use is “even though I have this problem, I can accept myself, my life just as it is.” Even though it is not what I might have consciously chosen, I can accept it anyway, and accept myself and my skillful and not so skillful responses to life, just as they are.

Everyone’s talking about abundance these days, tapping on it, saying affirmations, sucking up to the Law of Attraction, and generally beating themselves up because they’re not rolling in dough yet! I had a fascinating talk about it with my friend and colleague Carol Look last fall, on my teleseminar series, “Profound Paths to Health, Healing and Happiness.” Carol is an EFT Master, and a world renowned expert on abundance and to her, it’s not just about money!

I’ve been talking with my friend Lynne Morrell (LynneMorrell.com) about doing a class together on humor and healing. Lynne’s one of the funniest people I know, (and also one of the best EFT practitioners) and her irreverent and sometimes zany sense of humor can be the catalyst for some profound shifts in tapping or coaching sessions.
So what is it about laughter that shifts our energy so quickly? That instant of surprise that suddenly turns our perspective upside down… (more…)

I recently recorded a great interview with EFT Masters Rue Hass, Gwyneth Moss and Ann Ross. They are presenting a very exciting training this August at Sunrise Ranch in Colorado, one of my favorite retreat centers. I attended the first “Tapping at Sunrise” last summer (see my blog entry from last August) and it was an incredible experience. I can’t wait to go back this summer and immerse myself in this North American community of innovative and creative tapping practitioners.
I was thrilled to be asked to interview them about this year’s program, and got to join in a fascinating four way, trans-continental conversation. We talked about the use of humor in EFT, (more…)
