Two days ago looked like another good day for tapping. I was out at the fishing lake, in my cozy tent, ready to tap, when I realized I didn't have the memory card in my phone...the one with all my mp3 files, and my PPP notes, etc. Ok, remain calm, I'll do that later. LOL....I actually tapped on the anxiety of losing my memory card. :)
So, I started with the notes from Nili on my not being allowed to be angry, or not wanting to be angry. As usual, she was spot on! :) My family, both sides, exten…

I listened to this yesterday at work but was distracted so I listened again today. Not surprisingly I heard different things. I like that "poor food choices" includes not only the food we choose but other circumstances surrounding how and when we eat.

Nili, thank you for these introductory sessions. They have been wonderful.
I listened and tapped with Session #6 today. I liked "I am willing to tap instead of eat."
I'm glad you talked about "should." That has been a difficult word and concept for me to shake. That was good for me. I like how you explained it and I will refer to these notes again, I'm sure.
When I tapped the second time I liked:
* I choose my own values
* I now take back my power
* I can choose what it right for me
This al…

I came up with a new mantra, as a result of listening to the tapping session on positivity. That is “Allow my passion to move me to action.” For me the challenge is to keep
focused on my passion. But when I do, I move in a downstream way, with ease and flow.
So the best kept part of my plan this week was still doing the 30 minutes of interval exercise every other day. I moved back up to level 4 on the exercise bike, and kept the energy expended between 59 and 72 kcal. Also, I did at leas…

When I started EFT (just a couple weeks ago, it's hard to believe), I felt like, "oh, what will I work on? I really feel pretty good." LOL
Soon, I connected with Nili and started here, started my Personal Peace Procedure (PPP) and started a general list (after listening to Carol Look) of tappable issues.
Ok, now I've got lots of work to do! So, yesterday I brainstormed a bit to see if a plan would present itself.
My desires:
* to continue with Nili's program
* to continue my PPP
* to learn mo…

Another good session, thank you! I loved the bit at the beginning, where you called us "fellow life-changers."
I started listening to this away from home and didn't have the chart printed, but I copied it out in my notes to refer to. After doing this, with the recording still paused, my initial thoughts were:
My shopping meltdown the other day: yellow
My teen years: brown
My 20s-mid30s: black and orange
When I first got here (to the UK in 2007): yellow and orange
So, I've come a long way alre…

i don't really have a lot to say about the first session-
except that usually when i do EFT i do it quite quickly and it's over with in record time-
but doing the first session i think i may benefit from slowing down and focusing longer on what i am saying.
i still feel nauseous after almost every EFT round that i do.
does this subside after a while? i have only been doing EFT for a week or so and it has not subsided yet.
i'm looking forward to the next session

Just listened to the first session. It was good. Some of the "new" points are some that I use at times instinctively. So that was really cool.
Only one phrase rang some alarm bells for me: "I don't really care how I lose the weight." I understand the sentiment behind the statement, but I DO care -- I want it to be a healthy, self-loving way. I could (theoretically) lose a lot of weight by getting very sick. In fact, now that I said that I had a flash back to when my mom was dying from cancer. S…

SOURCE: Annals of Behavioral Medicine, October 2009.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health Tuesday, October 27, 2009) - If you've lost a lot of weight and want to keep it off, banishing high-fat foods and getting rid of your TV sets might help, along with eating less and staying active, new research hints.
Researchers found that people who had lost weight and had maintained a normal weight for 5 years were much more physically active than obese people who hadn't lost weight and were also being better able t…

Ok, so I'm tapping on my nose, I know this seems a bit weird, but I've had nose issues my whole life. I've had a runny nose, a congested nose. I'm a major consumer of Kleenex. I always assumed I had allergies. Then I had tests, no, no allergies, just a constant runny nose for other weird reasons. No reason, same symptoms. I got into nasal irrigation and that helped a lot. I rarely get sinus infections now and my voice doesn't sound so much like I have a cold. Then last year I did an Elimination…

Another good session. The main reason I started EFT was because of lingering negative emotions, so this was a good topic for me. I really like that you do tapping on these sessions, so I hear how you use the sentences and reminder phrases, and your tone of voice.
I have already tapped on a particular person annoying me, and it has already helped. I was amazed, because I still haven't gotten to the real root of why this person annoys me. I don't want this person to annoy me. I want to love and h…

Thank you, Nili for Newsletter 076. You were right.....I needed this. I sat down to listen with my big glass of water. I'm really drinking so much more water, again. Is that a borrowing benefit? :)
At the beginning of this session, I had some thoughts:
* Have media images distorted my goals?
* Do I expect something that doesn't exist for me?
Your thoughts and ideas were very on target for me and made sense, completely.
During the first tapping some of your reminder phrases really resonated f…

Okay, I succeeded with my plan this week. I feel like a winner. I went to ½ a sandwich, did 30 minutes of interval exercise every other day (with one session fitting in only at 8:00 at night), didn’t always get 30 minutes of strength exercise in on alternate days, but did on some, remembered to do fidgetsizers a bunch, and stopped eating when I felt full.
Today I took my second set of measurements. None of them match last week’s numbers. Some were larger, some smaller. THIS is precisely why I d…

I'm glad this included the borrowing benefits. That's great to know. (So, when I'm tapping the cat and with other people, I'm getting something, too? Cool.)
I did this one, but didn't come up with any big issues, as I'm liking exercise more than ever before in my life. The fact that I might be considered athletic is nothing short of a miracle. For that, I am exceedingly grateful.
I did so much tapping today, about a number of things. I feel really good. Even (mood and energy). Filled with joy.…

Nili, you showed me the next step with my sabotage. Everything is a blessing. My sabotage, in the past, protected me from conflict and not pleasing people. It protected me from attention from boys or men. I wanted that attention, but was afraid, not sure what to do if I got it. I was thin at about age 17-18 and that's what happened. I didn't know what to do with it. Didn't know how to get to know someone. Didn't believe anyone would really want to know me. (As I wrote this in my journal, I could…

I've been tapping away and just wanted to share some bits.
I told my step-daughter a bit about it, hoping she might let me help her. Taking Nili's sage advice, I keep it light and didn't yet suggest she start tapping, but told her it was helping me and sent her a link from emofree.com. A day or two later, she saw me in the kitchen with ice on my shoulder. When I told her my shoulder was hurting after a workout, she said, "shouldn't you be doing that tapping thing?" Well, ice and tapping cleared…

This was good. The explanations about the set up sentence were very helpful.
When the part about poor food choices started, I was thinking I make such good choices, blah, blah, blah...but the truth emerged, lol. I realized that I do make poor choices more than I'm willing to admit, including eating too much, making too many carb compromises, eating too many biscuits (cookies) in the staff room when I volunteer at school (reward??), and picking the wrong snacks. This is a sabotage, for sure. But…

I listened to my first session today, I'll admit to doing it while I was cooking dinner, but it had to be done. And it worked, ok, nothing burned, and I paused to do the tapping. I have started EFT in the last week, so this first session just helped me see how we might use it for weight loss in particular. Since I started I have worked on a back and hip pain I've had for years, an elbow pain from a few months, a stomach ache after eating the wrong food and tension in my neck and head, which put…

Hi all. I was again displeased with my weight change this past Friday, but it only took until today to write about it because of being out of town.
Once again, I felt okay about my activity level. I would have liked to fit in more, but feel like it is a constant balancing act. I suspect most of us feel that way. And my food modifications worked well for me. The problem is that all this caused me to
gain another 1.75 pounds!
However, I think I have shifted to an even stronger growth mind…
