1. News – The 6th Annual Tapping World Summit I highly recommend the Tapping World Summit which begins soon. There will be 2 presentations every day by experts, each with a different topic. They are audios, but there will also be some videos as well (see below). This Annual Tapping World Summit begins on Monday, the 24th of February (at 8 PM US time). Each presentation is available for free for 24 hours after its airing. You can listen to it as many times as you like during that 24 hour time frame absolutely free. This 24 hour time period takes care of the time zone differences throughout the world. It is a life‐changing, no‐cost event. You can buy things if you wish to but that’s your choice. You can have a look around or register by clicking on http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5214339. It includes a list of the 20 presenters and what their topics will be. AND, there are some pre‐Summit videos that are particularly excellent. They are interviews by Nick Ortner, the creator of these EFT summits and author of the best‐selling book The Tapping Solution and a movie with the same name.

There is a video of an interview with Wayne Dyer who has experienced EFT and is full of praise. Amongst other things, he speaks about an experience he had in relation to his deceased father and the freedom he gained from forgiveness. Just click on http://thetappingsolution.com/cmd.php?Clk=5212003. Another excellent video is a fascinating interview with Dr. Lissa Rankin, M.D. who shares what she learned from studying over 3,500 cases of "spontaneous remission" and discusses "the placebo effect?" and a lot more.

Research - Changing the wiring (an extract from an article by David Feinstein) “… the brain gets stuck in an ON position so that the person is continually experiencing the chemistry of being in mortal danger. EFT Tapping turns it OFF!”
“How do you explain how EFT tapping works? According to a Harvard medical school study (a series of studies over 10 years) that looked at what happens in the brain when you stimulate certain acupuncture points. What they found using functional MRI when looking at the blood flow in the brain: ”What happens? EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping decreases the arousal in the amygdala (a∙mig∙da∙la). “What does that mean? The amygdala is the threat detection part of the brain.”” ….. “With EFT tapping you can very rapidly intervene at that brain level. So you’re really changing the wiring …” Click here to read the article. There’s also a summary of David Feinstein’s considerable qualifications, experience and achievements. He’s a big name in the Energy Psychology world. And, by the way, Donna Eden is his wife.
3. Upcoming - EFT Workshops, including a new workshop The minimal scheduled workshops for the first half of the year include: The comprehensive introductory Level 1 EFT workshop is on Sunday, the 23rd of February (9:30 am to 5 pm), and the next will be on the 4th of May. The next Level 2 EFT workshop will be held on Saturday & Sunday, the 22nd & 23rd of March (and, it will be held again on the 24th and 25th of May).) The introduction to the Basics of Counselling will be held again on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the 26th & 27th of April. No pre‐requisites. The innovative Personal Empowerment EFT workshop is on Saturday & Sunday, the 14th & 15th of June and includes the exciting and powerful Personal Dialogue EFT Technique. Level 2 is the pre‐requisite. The three‐day Level 3 EFT workshop will begin on a Saturday & Sunday in June plus another day (by arrangement) in June/July. Note: An internationally recognized EFT Practitioner certification programmes for both Levels 2 and 3 have now been available in Australia for over 3 years by the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques (AAMET). By the way, AAMET is run entirely by committed volunteers around the world. AMMET is currently in the process of upgrading the use of Certifications to be replaced by more demanding Accreditations. The purpose is to improve the requirements and quality of EFT training around the world and take a major step forward to meet European Union (EU) training standards (which would set the scene for the rest of the world).
4. Sessions – I really enjoy working with my clients It’s interesting that EFT isn’t a technique where, after you’ve learnt it and practiced it for a while, you’ve got it and there’s little more to learn about it. I studied and used dozens of techniques before I came across EFT in the year 2
2000. I found that after about 3 to 6 months, I would know the technique well and what it can and can’t do, its strengths and its limits, etc. To my surprise, that hasn’t been the case with EFT. It’s been more of a journey over the years. It’s amazingly open‐ ended. We continue to learn more and find new or modified ways of getting the most out of it and new applications of the tapping. There is a lot more to learn and discover other than just learning the basic EFT tapping technique. The tapping technique can be learnt fairly quickly but there are many nuances and plenty of room for flexibility that can be used to really connect with a client and his/her specific issues. We work with individuals and no two people have exactly the same problem, especially how it’s stacked up or layered. As our experience continues, we develop deeper understandings of how our minds work, new approaches and techniques, and new ways to explore in order to get to the core(s) of difficult issues. It’s open‐ended and it is lots of serious fun working closely with wonderful people. I now have a home office for private (one‐on‐one) EFT sessions in Cambridge Street, Wembley.
5. Introducing – The value of learning the Basics of Counselling The introduction to the Fundamentals of Counselling workshop will be held again on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, the 26th and 27th of April. There is no pre‐requisite other than a desire to help or nurture others. It is also highly recommended to those who have attended one or more EFT workshops and use or plan to use EFT with others.
Developing some effective counselling skills can make a huge difference when using EFT with others as it helps to establish a real connection and a functional relationship in a safe environment. These skills are also very useful when supporting or nurturing another or others (including “over coffee” counselling). Quote: “For anyone who works in the healing professions ... (counselling) skills are important, whether you are a physician, a massage therapist, a Reiki practitioner, a nurse, or any of the many healing professions involved in Energy Psychology. These are the skills that comprise excellence in counselling, and if you are in the healing professions, you may have already recognized that no matter which healing profession you practice, counselling is part of it.” - Dr Pati Beaudoin (US).
Please note that this introduction to the basics of counselling/coaching/facilitating is no substitute for full mainstream counselling/coaching training programs.
6. Tip of Month – “Working with the Subconscious Mind” “In the mid‐nineties, I attended a weekend course with Michael Domeyko Rowland, a personal development author and presenter. “At one point, he talked about how people deal with painful experiences by using repression and denial to bury the pain. Such an event can be triggered by something at a later time and the emotional and/or physical pain manifests. Up it comes and the immediate impulse is to try to push it down and bury it. He likened this to a beach ball being held under the. “He then put the question “Why doesn’t it just stay buried (forever)?” to the group of around 300. “Various answers floated around and then he gave his answer. It was (paraphrased): “The reason it doesn’t stay buried is because it is part of the healing process.” Many years later, that viewpoint still holds well with me and, more importantly, it’s useful. “In a nutshell, when a person is (consciously or unconsciously) reminded of such as unresolved event, his/her subconscious mind brings it up into conscious awareness or attempts to, which is usually resisted. “It’s saying in effect “Hey, this hasn’t been resolved yet! Here it is and don’t ignore me.”” 3
The above is an extract from an article I wrote last year and the full article can be accessed by clicking here. The way to work with the subconscious mind when applying EFT is to go with the flow and ride the waves. In other words, tap on what is here right now or what is now coming up. Sometimes, the subconscious mind will bring up one thing after the other and in the right order (which is called a “daisy chain” in the EFT world).
7. Videos – Me on YouTube (twice) There’s been a short video (just 5 minutes) of me on YouTube since 2008, where I’m talking to an audience (of about 100) in Sydney at an EFT Masters event. I followed my talk by a demonstration session which is not included in the YouTube video (but is available on DVD). My talk was about whether EFT was a “treatment” or not. I put the case that EFT can definitely be regarded as a treatment in some contexts but that it’s not so in others. One of my mottos is “a client isn’t a problem, the client has a problem” and I regard my role as primarily a facilitator (rather than one who interventions and treats). I had a beard at that time! BUT last week, to my surprise, I discovered another video (1 minute long) on YouTube with me in it! In the year 2010, after going to Melbourne to attend a workshop by Karl Dawson (who developed the Matrix ReImprinting EFT technique), I was asked to comment on the workshop after it was over, which is what’s on the video. It was complimentary, of course. And, no beard by then! Or, since!
8. EFT N e w s Letters (for enthused EFT'ers) The EFT Founding Masters (all personally certified by Gary Craig) have their own web site and you are invited to subscribe to our practical, information‐rich and cutting‐edge EFT N e w s Letters by going to www.eftmastersworldwide.com.

Click on the link above to visit Gary's new Official EFT Tutorial.
9. Insurance - for professional EFT practitioners
If you're using EFT professionally or plan to, it is essential that you have appropriate insurance, including both Professional Indemnity and Public Liability. If you hire a room or venue to hold a meeting or run a workshop, it is likely that you'll be required to have your insurance in place. Some very well priced insurance is available for (over 400) complementary practices and it is widely used around Australia (and now also in the UK). For more information, go to the web site of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT) for full details. I am a member of IICT and (via IICT) use OAMPS as my insurer (as do many others in Australia).
10. Planet earth moving – Answers to How fast is the earth travelling and spinning? Now, let’s have a guess (if you’d like to and don’t already know). By the way, this has nothing to do with EFT. It’s just two little questions that you may find interesting. Question #1: What is the velocity of the earth as it travels around the sun (in km per second)? 4
Question #2: How fast is the earth spinning (in km per second) on the equator? The answers follow. You may be surprised, I was. The answers: The earth is travelling around the sun at 107,300 Km per hour which is 30 Km per second ‐ believe it or not! And, on the equator, the earth is spinning at 1670 Km per hour which is 0.46 Km per second which is 460 metres per second! At the North and South poles, it’s isn’t moving a person or thing other than slowly turning around once over a 24 hour period. Keep on keeping on Tapping for Inner Peace!
All the very best,
