A reader asked the other day if EFT can be used for gluten intolerance that celiacs experience. That inspired me to pass on this great tapping technique to deal with any kind of sensitivity to substances – including hay fever. There’s really no need to resign yourself to a lifetime of bad reactions. EFT is [...]
Sometimes an issue is demanding your attention. You might be thinking about it all the time. Or you’re having the feelings that are connected to it. Possibly your body is clamoring for help in connection with it. Or maybe your mind, body AND emotions are continuously reminding you of the problem. Meanwhile, the rest of [...]
