Try It On Everything!
Most of you reading this know of the tremendous phenomenon created by a little DVD called The Secret. Something about the timing of this market launch of the Law of Attraction was magic. People were inspired by the simple message that our thoughts and feelings help create our reality. The most exciting part of this notion, though, was that we have control over this process. Our thoughts are not in charge of us—we are in charge of out thoughts. Teachers of meditation tell us that we can have a thought, but not engage it. We can have a thought, but not believe it. And we can train ourselves to have thoughts that promote what we wish to achieve and experience in the world. It’s all vibration, which is another way of saying its all energy. The energy of certain thoughts “pulls in” experience that is consonant with that energy just as a tuning fork produces vibrations similar to its own.
Now there is another phenomenon waiting to happen that is available to you on another little DVD. It is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and it makes use of energy principles and techniques to dissolve energy blocks that are experienced as anxieties, phobias, pain, and dysfunction. Other than experiencing it yourself, I know of no other more convincing way for you to become acquainted with the promise of EFT than watching the DVD, Try It On Everything. This video follows a group of people on an EFT retreat with therapists who are accomplished practitioners of the Emotional Freedom Technique. You get a sense of the range of problems EFT can treat, and the experience of applying the technique. On their website, the authors also offer a follow-up on the participants so you can get a realistic view of how lasting the gains are and what is necessary in order to make these gains permanent. The trailer for the DVD can be viewed and the video itself can be ordered through the Resources page of this website (see link below right). I urge you to become familiar with what this simple, non-invasive technique can do for you. After viewing, please contact me if you would like to do some EFT on your own problems. See my contact page, Reach the Clinic, link below right. I am also interested in hearing from you regarding your impression of the DVD. You can offer your comments, below.

Tapping Away the Pain Body
Many of you are studying A New Earthby Eckhart Tolle on your own, or through Oprah Winfrey’s webcast series every Monday night. One of the most useful concepts in the book is the notion of the pain body that each of us carries within ourselves, which can become triggered and take control of our behavior even against our better judgement. That pain body is not directly accessible by way of our conscious minds. It is irrational, yet extremely stubborn. Tolle says the pain body seeks pain because it will die without it. An interesting theory, you may be thinking, but what can I do about it? We usually try as hard as we can to avoid the discomfort the pain body presents. One very important technique put forward by Tolle is to be present when the pain body is triggered. Observe but don’t identify with the thoughts that emerge when this is happening. Perhaps an even more active way to deal with the pain body is to use EFT. This entails focusing on the pain for a moment and tapping the acupressure points in a sequence as EFT teaches us. Because the pain body is only an energy field in the first place, “tapping through” to clear that energy makes perfect sense. And it my experience that it works amazingly well.
There is a new documentary movie on EFT, called Try It On Everything. I have provided a link to the trailer for that movie on my Resources page. I believe that if you watch the trailer you will want to see the documentary in its entirety. It is available as a DVD for purchase. If you have been wanting to try EFT, but have held back for some reason, this just might be what it takes to inspire you to give it a try. If you do not want to get coaching in EFT from a trained practitioner, this is all you need to perform it on yourself in the comfort of your own home. If you get the DVD and have an interesting story to tell about how it did or didn’t help you, I would like to hear from you. You can leave a comment at the end of this post. Good luck on your new adventure.

Welcome to the Energy Psychotherapy Clinic Blog
Although this is my very first experience with a blog, I am hoping it will be a powerful tool to communicate with my clients between sessions and with others who do not have access to the Energy Psychotherapy Clinic, but are nevertheless interested in learning about and participating in the healing process through energy methods.

What Does Energy Psychology Have To Do With ADD/ADHD?
As I stated in my Welcome post, my personal and professional interests in finding quicker, less invasive methods to help clients be rid of their “daily demons” and get on with their lives led me to the practice of energy psychotherapy. The appeal of such protocols is that they are so “low-tech.” That is, they can be learned in minutes and performed at home without equipment or ongoing professional intervention. Paradoxically, however, ancient “technologies” such as acupressure (upon which energy methods like EFT are based) are often espoused by the same theorists and practitioners as cutting-edge “high-tech” interventions such as brain wave therapies. The reasons, I believe, are two: Read more
