Finding Balance – EFT and the Bigger Picture

February 23, 2020 by Carol 1 Comment

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 tapping 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.

Letting Go of Our Old Stuff with Guided Imagery…

May 6, 2018 by Carol Leave a Comment

We talk about letting go in a lot of different contexts, but what does it really mean? We take stress and trauma into our body and energy field, and that’s fine, it is how we function as physical beings. Where it becomes a problem is when we keep it and carry it with us for the rest of our lives. Our traumas and experiences and beliefs – whether they are conscious, or buried deep in our unconscious – continually impact how we function in the present.

Tapping and imagery work give us simple and elegant tools to bring this stuff into our awareness and truly let it go. Not just mentally, by talking about and analyzing it, but by actually physically releasing it from our body and most importantly, from our energy field.

A New Year and a New Bridge…

January 11, 2012 by Carol Leave a Comment

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 unexpected events that change how we live our lives? How we feel safe when the structures that we rely upon are taken away?

Loving what is – or how I learned to love and accept snow days

February 18, 2011 by Carol 2 Comments

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.

I have always loved the seasons, the shifting changing colors and temperatures. While the transformative energies of spring and fall are my slight favorites, I do love them all. Winter to me, has always been a time to slow down, enjoy the warmth of a fire, and move a little more inward. This year, though, it has been week after week of storms and frigid temperatures, housebound by icy roads, canceling clients and activities.

Carol Look and Carol Robin talk about abundance…

August 8, 2010 by Carol 1 Comment

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 invited Carol on to my series to talk about the true meaning of abundance. What does it really mean? How do you know when you have it? What do you do when you can’t find it? And what does gratitude have to do with it? Carol is an EFT master, and Law of Attraction expert, and she brings these two energy modalities together in a very unique way. She also does a very cool kind of tapping she calls Gratitude tapping, which you can tap along with on the call.

humor and healing…

June 28, 2010 by Carol 3 Comments

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…

Tapping at Sunrise…

June 4, 2010 by Carol Leave a Comment

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 the Rocky mountains of 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, and Rue shared some great insights about how we can creatively work with the second half of the EFT equation: “I deeply and completely love and accept myself”. To listen to our call, and find out more about “Tapping at Sunrise,” and also download a delightful interview with the ever creative Gwyneth Moss on Releasing your Anxiety Gremlins go to:Tapping at Sunrise

If you are a serious EFT or meridian practitioner, or just share a fascination with this powerful technique, I invite you to listen to our interview.

Yours in Peace, Carol
