The 9 Gamut procedure is a technique in EFT that originally formed part of the basic recipe, however, experience and experimentation showed that EFT was just as effective without it in most cases and it is now usually omitted. While we don't need to include it in every round as we once did, it can have its uses if an issue is difficult to fully clear with conventional tapping alone. We usually do this if we've got our SUDs rating down to a two or three and found ourselves stu

In the new year we might feel inspired to start a new hobby or join a new group but if we suffer with social anxiety that can feel harder than it sounds. The daunting feeling of walking into a room where everyone might already know each other can sometimes be enough to hold us back but it doesn't need to be. Today's tapping helps us to calm those nerves and walk into our new class or group with greater confidence and optimism so that we can enjoy our new hobby and meeting new

As you may already know, as well as being an EFT practitioner I also teach a queer sewing class which aims to give those of us in the queer community the skills and opportunity to create the clothes that we love in sizes and shapes that fit us perfectly. Sometimes though, when you've had a lifetime of dressing to please others, it can feel quite daunting to walk out into the world as your full self so today's tapping is designed to give us the confidence boost we need to wear

As this goes out we're at the start of a new year so we're taking the opportunity to use EFT tapping to support us in learning a new skill! I've recently started teaching Queer Sewing classes and it's such a joy to support people in developing skills that empower them to take charge of their image and identity. Sometimes though, we can start to feel like we've bitten off more than we can chew when we take on something new like this so today we tap to boost our motivation when

If you're anything like me, this time of year can feel a little bit discombobulating. Your usual activities aren't on, you're out of routine, maybe you're eating different things and seeing different people and perhaps it feels great or perhaps it all feels a bit unsettling. Today's tapping is here to help us ground when we're out of routine, to bring a little bit of calm to the chaos and just to bring us back to ourselves when we're swept up in what's going on around us. As

In the last two weeks we've focused on managing the things that can feel stressful in December, this week we connect with the joy of it! We remind ourselves to step out of the busyness and take a moment to appreciate what it's all for. We reflect on the joy we've experienced in the previous year and the joy that's to come in the next one. For some of us this can be a challenging time so this video invites us to connect into joy in a very gentle way, without getting into anyth

Whether or not you're approaching a midwinter celebration at the moment we can all have times when we feel we have too much to do. This week's tapping video is closely related to last week's (I feel guilty when I rest: EFT tapping to drop the guilt) as it continues to deal with the overwhelm that is increasingly present in our culture. We tap to reassess our expectations of ourselves (and by association, each other) and move towards a gentler and kinder way of being, both in

As our lives get busier and busier we're often aware that we need and deserve to rest but our awareness of everything we need to do overrides it. We can sometimes get to the point where we aren't even able to rest because when we try to our heads are full of all the jobs we need to do and we become restless. Today's EFT tapping helps us to give ourselves permission to rest and reminds us that the things we do get done better when we're rested. We also remind ourselves that we

We all do things we regret from time to time. It might be something you did years ago that made you look really silly. Maybe it's the time you had a chance to apply for a great job and you didn't. Maybe there was someone you really liked and you didn't have the courage to ask for their number. Whatever it is, if you find yourself replaying it in your mind even years later, reprimanding yourself for past mistakes, today's video is for you. We tap to let go of the past, forgive

This week's tapping is a welcome oasis of calm in the midst of our sometimes chaotic lives. It invites us to slow things down, take our time and revert to a pace that allows us to enjoy life. To me this feels revolutionary, it feels like heading in the exact opposite direction to everyone else around us as the world seems to get faster and faster. Giving ourselves the gift of slowness also gives permission to those around us to do the same and imagine how much more gentle and

In an age of increasing busyness boundaries are more important than ever. Sometimes we really need to put our foot down and say 'my wellbeing matters more than getting through this endless list of tasks.' Sometimes though, that can feel hard to do so this week's tapping is here to help. If you are ready to put strong boundaries in place but not sure how to do it, tap along with me and boost your boundary setting confidence! If today's tapping was helpful to you, I'd love to h

As we grow up we tend to get praised for some aspects of who we are while other traits get ignored. This can vary according to the values of the family that brought us up and we're often rewarded for traits that are similar to those of the people around us. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this of course, it's our natural instinct as parents to get excited when our kids are good at the things we love, but wouldn't it be interesting to discover what hidden traits and tale

In this week's video we explore one of the most simple and effective EFT techniques - hold and breathe. This technique simply involves gently holding each of our main tapping points in turn and taking a deep, calming breath. This is great for anyone who is new to EFT, it's a lovely way to learn the points while calming the stress centres of the brain at the same time. I will often begin sessions with it when I first begin to work with a new client or if someone logs into thei

As we continue to learn more about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping) we take an opportunity to look at some additional points. I don't use these points in my videos but I may sometimes use them in my own tapping or with clients. They serve a few different functions. If we adhere to the meridian based understanding of EFT, which is anchored in Traditional Chinese Medicine, they allow us to activate additional meridians, meaning that more of the system is covered, help

How do you know if your EFT tapping is working? In today's video we discuss the SUDs rating scale and some other signs that your EFT tapping is effective. Whether you're tapping for a better menopause, shifting old patterns of belief and behaviour or gently recovering from trauma, today's video will help you understand whether your tapping is doing what you want it to. SUDs stands for Subjective Units of Distress or Discomfort. It's what we're measuring when we ask questions
