The Perfect Day *
Putting things into our calendar is easy. Yet that calendar tends to fill up quickly, especially if you have a family and a career. And even if your life isn’t completely filled, it’s rather hard to schedule yourself into your calendar.
There are a two aspects to this situation: Continue reading

I want to devote this post to a topic that many people neglect when under stress: Self-care. I’m no exception.
When I get stressed, I stop cooking for myself. I eat too much chocolate. I play computer games to take my mind off. I hide in my apartment. And yes, I know I can tap on all that, but at those times, I don’t even want to! So, my good coping mechanisms disappear, and I fall back on ancient, childish and non-supportive pseudo-coping strategies. Continue reading
I can’t! *
We most often hear that sentence from kids. They are still open enough to shout it out. As adults, we’ve learned to find excuses for not doing things that sound better, that hide our weaknesses.
I’ve seen it over and over on the web, and I’ve been told in person: “I can’t” only means “I don’t want to.” Personally, I think that’s a heartless blame game. Because I believe that “I can’t” means something else entirely. Continue reading
Teeth *
Pain is something that stops everyone from being efficient, friendly and productive. This is one of my own EFT tales. I wrote it down in the hopes that it might help you and serve as template if you have to deal with dental pain and the loss of a tooth.
In spring, I had my usual checkup at the dentist. However, this time he said something unexpected and dreadful: “Your wisdom tooth has a cavity in a place we cannot treat. It has to come out. When do you want to do it, right now while it’s spring, or in fall?” Continue reading
Heart-beat *
“Heart-centered”? It’s all over the web. Heart-centered this, heart-centered that … But what does it really mean?
The heart is seen as the center of emotion, at least in the Western world. And in the “real world”, emotion has no place. It only causes disturbances. Black days on the stock exchange, for example, are caused by irrational fear, as people try to sell stock faster than it can be bought – causing prices to crash. Emotions are messy. Continue reading
Sleep well
Getting enough sleep is very important. Studies show that people who get less than seven hours of sleep a night tend to gain weight, are more stressed and have more heart attacks that people who sleep longer. So I believe that anything which helps us to get enough sleep is worth something.
This is a tapping rountine I often use myself – and I always use a slightly different version at the end of every evening class. Most people report they slept well afterwards, so I believe it’s worth a try. Continue reading

It is possible to do EFT for someone else. This is called “proxy tapping”, because you are tapping on yourself for this other person, animal or even plant. It works because we are all connected on an energetic level.
There are a few imporant things to know about proxy tapping: Continue reading
Yes, I have a dream. And it is similar to Martin Luther King’s dream.
I dream of love and freedom and peace for everyone. For every person, every animal, every being in the whole world. Of course, that’s a huge dream, and not likely to come true anytime soon. Continue reading
EFT is a perfect tool for self-help. And that’s why I’m offering it here, to all of you. However, using EFT for yourself is most useful, when you also take good care of yourself. And that’s what this post is all about.
I readily admit it: I’m not always taking good care of myself, either. When I get stressed, I stop cooking for myself. I eat too much chocolate. I play computer games to take my mind off. And yes, I know I can tap on all that, but at those times, I don’t even want to! So, my good coping mechanisms disappear, and I fall back on ancient, childish and non-supportive pseudo-coping strategies. Continue reading

EFT is like acupuncture, except without needles. Some even say, EFT is acupuncture for the soul. While that may be true, it’s a fact that EFT is a fantastic tool to ease stress, to change behavioral patterns and to dissolve old grudges or the fallout from bad experiences. EFT ranges from being a great self-help tool to one of the best methods to deal with trauma. Continue reading
