In tribute to the Maturing of an Energy Therapy: EFT

Monday, January 25th, 2010 by Maryam Webster

If you haven’t yet encountered Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT, you’re in for a treat. If you’re an old hand, you’ll still enjoy this “spiritual documentary” (a la “The Secret”) style introduction to what EFT can do, and features some of my most esteemed colleagues. Really beautiful work – pass this one along to your friends and families. And, as Gary is retiring March 1st and has said he will be taking his website down, if the link at the end no longer works, you can download a free “EFT Quickstart” from me, here (will open in a new window)

EFT Works Great for Pain

I know. I used it to help me end years of chronic pain from a broken back, and to heal those tissues and  even grow new bone. Oh yes, you really can. EFT is a really great introduction to energy magic for people of all ages, cultures and belief systems. Pass this one on too. You can use a sophisticated Energy Coaching technique called “Borrowing Benefits” to tap along with Gary here as the pain is tapped out. Just think of your own pain for a moment, then let it go and use the lady’s set-up phrasing and reminder phrases. Tap right along. Get over it.

GREAT back pain release video

This one is from Robert Smith. He’s a wonderfully intuitive EFT practitioner and teacher. Beautiful NLP related interventions and submodality shifting for you NLPers in the community. Enjoy this video and especially if you had back pain like I did, this will be a welcome relief. Again Borrow Benefits, as you tap along with Robert and the lady with horse related issues…and a big pain in her back that goes away in a really interesting process:


Can KIDS do EFT? You bet’cha! (they’re a lot smarter than we are, y’know?)

I’ve taught children young as four how to tap with EFT and though I don’t have one, I highly recommend a Tappy Bear.  (I turned my childhood bear into such a happy tapping guide a few years ago) They’re the BOMB for teaching EFT to kids! Enjoy this wonderful video from Karin Gustafson teaching a little boy how to tap with a homemade tapping bear. The giggles alone are worth listening – and Borrowing Benefits – through the whole video. For those who don’t resonate to “I’m a good boy” – “I’m okay and feel grrrrreat!” is a good substitute.

Get ‘er done with Task.fm

Thursday, November 19th, 2009 by Maryam Webster

to-dohttp://task.fm is the hottest new outsourcing “Get ‘er done” tool among the coaching set. It’s free, you can record your tasks in slang, just the way you speak and the app will translate perfectly.

For instance, “Pick up dry cleaning a week from today after lunch” gets translated into “Pick up dry cleaning” with the date being exactly a week from the time you ordered the task, at 1pm.You can choose email, SMS or call-to for task reminder.

Cool? You bet. And for a cheapo $4 a month upgrade, you can log tasks by calling them into the service’s own 800 number and other refinements.

Best of all, you can synch up with Twitter, DM Task.fm and never have to log in. For the socmedia maven, a blessing. Here’s the lowdown from the FAQ:
