How To Turn Resistance To EFT Into An Asset (Article)

By Dr. Patricia Carrington

So-called "resistance" to the EFT process such as not coming down in your intensity level after several rounds of tapping, not remembering to do EFT when it would serve you particularly well to do or feeling certain that EFT will "do no good" for a certain issue, and the like — is always frustrating.

Tap-Along on “How to Remember to Tap” – (Free Tap Along)

By Dr. Patricia Carrington

Strangely, remembering to do the things that are most useful for us can be difficult. This is because something in us does not want to be stopped in its tracks, we don't want to switch gears.

How to Test Your EFT Progress (Article)

By Dr. Patricia Carrington

From time to time, Gary Craig and contributors to his newsletter had written about the value of having a practitioner test the results of EFT to make certain that a client is fully benefiting from the process.  It is important to know that one has fully cleared away all (or as many as possible) of the blocks involved in a particular issue.  This makes genuine change possible.
