I loved the summit again today, so much!

The first talk, Cool the Fire Within: Why Is My Body So Inflamed, and How Do I Calm It for Better Health? with Julie Schiffman, really spoke to something I see again and again and have experienced myself.

Inflammation, exhaustion and overwhelm are not random symptoms. They’re often signs of chronic stress that’s been running for far too long — with not enough time, space or support to drop into parasympathetic “rest and digest.”

It’s like the body’s alarm system has been left switched on.

Symptoms may include:

- Joint pain.
- Digestive issues.
- Food sensitivities.
- Brain fog.
- Autoimmune flares.

Particularly in strong, capable people who push through. Who overwork. Who take care of everyone else - sound familiar? It does to me!

And if the body is ignored?
It turns up the volume.
Not to punish.
But to be heard.

What I loved most was this reminder:
The body wants to heal. It’s designed to heal. It simply needs the right conditions.

The Tapping routines are fantastic - so calming and soothing!

Then the second talk, Rewiring Chronic Pain: Am I Just Supposed to Live Like This Forever, or Can I Actually Find Relief?, built on that beautifully.

Kim shared witnessing measurable improvements with tapping in emergency room settings. Not just “I feel better,” but observable improvements in heart rate, oxygen levels and blood pressure.

Whenever we experience pain, it often triggers fear. And fear increases our attention on that part of the body — which can actually intensify the pain experience.
So now we have pain… plus anxiety about the pain.

When we calm the fear response, we create space.
We think more clearly.
We can take inspired action.

She explains a bit about the neuroanatomy behind tapping .

And that story about the psychiatrist with chronic pain who experienced a profound paradigm shift when his pain shifted after tapping? A reminder that our beliefs can change when our experience changes.

For me, today reinforced something I come back to again and again:
Symptoms are not betrayals.
They are signals.
And when we soothe the nervous system, we change the internal environment in which healing becomes possible.
What landed most for you? 💛

I absolutely loved today’s Tapping World Summit interviews.

As a recovering perfectionist, I could really relate to Cheryl Richardson talk on breaking the self-judgment cycle. It felt less like a teaching… and more like an invitation to come home to ourselves.

One image that really stayed with me was her description of a car enthusiast lovingly washing and polishing their car for hours. Every detail attended to. Every inch cared for.

And it made me reflect - How often do we offer that same loving attention to ourselves?

Such a beautiful reminder that life actually does love us and wants to support us. The more we lean into that truth, the easier it becomes to trust.

I especially loved her suggestion to replace criticism with curiosity.

Instead of: “Why am I like this?”

What if we asked: “Sweetheart, what happened just before that?”

She suggested calling yourself sweetheart or honey. I’ll admit — as a Brit, I find those a bit stretchy! I’d genuinely love to hear what word feels warm but natural to you!

Because if we spoke to anyone else the way we sometimes speak to ourselves… well…!

Growth happens slowly.
How many times have I — or my clients — said, “I should be further along by now”?
Every time we say that, we subtly reject where we are.

When we minimise how we’re feeling, we dismiss what’s truly there.

And love — real love — supports growth far more effectively than harshness ever could.

Then Dr Claire Hayes spoke about releasing the people-pleasing pattern.

So many of us learned early that keeping the peace meant keeping ourselves small.

Someone asks us to do something.
We don’t want to upset them.
We feel resentful… but we say yes.
There’s a short-term hit — feeling needed, appreciated. Almost addictive.
Then the resentment creeps in.

What really struck me was this:
Guilt doesn’t always mean you’ve done something wrong.
Sometimes it means you’re finally breaking a pattern.
In fact, it can be healthier to feel guilty for saying no than quietly resentful for saying yes.

The yes/no exercise was brilliant. And during the tapping, I could literally feel a shift around a particular pattern I’m working on — so much yawning (always a good sign the nervous system is settling and the tapping is doing its job!).

Another powerful reminder:
If we don’t say yes to ourselves, who will?
We wouldn’t drive our cars without petrol.
We’re not meant to run on empty either.

And I loved this reframe woven into the tapping:
We don’t have to trust everything we feel.
And we don’t have to believe everything we think.
“I’m more than this thought.”
“I’m more than this feeling.”

Plus the beautifully simple ABC process: Acknowledge.
Because.
Choose.

So much depth in today’s sessions.

“Was babysitting my brother who wouldn’t fall asleep because our mum was out – he was getting all upset so i decided to try tapping with him – he was very suspicious but he mumbled the words along with me (under the blanket so i wouldn’t see!) and let me tap on him – he was asleep about five minutes later :)”

Today’s talks on the Tapping World Summit were powerful.

Dr Mary Ayers spoke about Your Brain’s False Alarm — why anxiety can feel like it runs our lives, and how we gently teach it to stop.

Here are some of the points I loved:

- We don’t have to wait until we’re in an anxiety-provoking moment to work with it.
- We can teach the nervous system what calm feels like before we need it.
- When we pair a “danger” feeling with calming tapping, the body learns something new: Calm is safe.
- For many people who’ve lived on high alert for years, calm can actually feel unfamiliar… even uncomfortable. Tapping helps retrain the system so safety doesn’t feel threatening.
- And so often there’s shame layered on top of anxiety — as if something is broken. So true.

Then Dr Damon Silas spoke about Sacred Rage, Holy Grief.

The things that stayed with me:
“As long as there is breath, there is hope.”
And this isn’t a quick fix.
Start where you are.
Create safety.
Ease your way into healing by creating distance - which is one the the things we teach on our training - so you’re not reliving the past, but gently processing it. When the body is highly triggered, it’s much harder to integrate emotion.
Emotions aren’t there to hurt us.
They’re there to alert us.

The final tapping round today was especially powerful — particularly for anyone experiencing grief. If that’s you, be very gentle with yourself.

I’m always struck by how much depth there is in this work, even after all these years.

If you’ve ever doubted tapping… this today's World Tapping Summit sessions are for you!

I was listening to David Feinstein share the long and winding road that led him to EFT.

If origin stories aren’t your thing, skip to halfway.

Although then you'll miss out on how deeply sceptical he was the first time he witnessed a transformation with tapping. He kept finding logical reasons why the client said she was feeling better - not because of the Tapping!

And then… he saw it with his own eyes.
I love that 💜

Because it means EFT doesn’t require blind belief. It stands up to scrutiny.

In the second half, he dives into the physiology — what’s actually happening in the nervous system when we tap. Not woo. Biology.

Then Arielle Schwartz explained polyvagal theory which was fascinating.

Here’s are some powerful words that stayed with me:
- I can calm without collapsing.
- I can energise without becoming ungrounded.

She also talked about
Three tiers of nervous system response:
1 Ventral vagal – safety, connection.
Can I re-establish safety through a calm voice, soft eye contact, feeling heard?
2 Fight / flight – mobilisation.
3 Dorsal vagal – shutdown, freeze.

She talked about grounding not becoming heavy or flat, but being uplifted without being uprooted.

And one thing Jessica said:
“You are not broken. You are in need of care.”

And lastly a powerful reframe of vulnerability not being exposure but
accessibility — allowing others in.

And then we tapped - the round was sooooo calming.

And if you’re sceptical?
Good.
That’s often the first step on the road ❤️

This picture was my view while tapping.

Have you watched today’s sessions with Brad Yates and Nick Ortner?

I loved Brad Yates explanation of his beautiful quote:
“Self-sabotage is misguided self-love.”

So often the parts of us that procrastinate, overreact, withdraw or stay small aren’t trying to ruin our lives. They’re trying to protect us. Just… not always in the most helpful way.

When we see self-sabotage through that lens, something softens.

And then there was Brad's reminder that we are already magnificent — like Michelangelo’s David. The masterpiece wasn’t created from nothing. It was already there in the stone.

The work isn’t about becoming magnificent.

It’s about releasing what’s in the way.
That’s what I love about tapping!
We’re not fixing something broken.
We’re clearing the fear, stress and old protective patterns that have built up around who we really are.

If you watched, I’d love to know what stood out for you - share in the comments

And if you haven’t yet — there’s still time. https://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Q_D9xn&m=3jITqrByyl3brBz&b=fXJlDDvZUHf8hyAgrn9iRw

EFT for First-Time Pregnant Women

Can tapping help reduce fear before birth?

A 2024 study looked at Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for women in their third trimester - all starting with severe childbirth anxiety.

After just 5 days of EFT:

- 30% had no anxiety

- 26.7% had mild anxiety

- 43.3% had moderate anxiety

- 0% remained in severe anxiety

Every single participant improved.

This suggests EFT may offer a gentle, non-drug support option during late pregnancy - a time many women experience intense worry about labour and delivery.

If you haven’t tried tapping before, this is a really gentle place to start.

The Tapping World Summit begins today, and it’s completely free to attend. It’s a chance to explore EFT in a practical, guided way — covering things like money worries, health challenges, long-held beliefs, and emotional resilience — without needing any prior experience.

I come back to this event year after year because, despite my years of experience, there is always more to learn, heal and transform.

If you haven’t registered yet, this is the final opportunity to do so before it begins: https://www.efttrainingcentre.com/tws-register

There’s also some optional bonus content available before the Summit starts for those who want it, but the main thing is simply showing up and giving yourself the space to try it.

If you’re curious, I’d really encourage you to join. I will :)

EFT tapping is a simple, practical tool that many people use to help ease stress, shift emotional patterns, and support the body during difficult moments.

In this interview, Louise Hay shares her own experience with tapping and gently guides a short tapping meditation. It’s thoughtful, reassuring, and very much in her warm, compassionate style.

If you’re curious, it’s well worth taking a few quiet minutes to watch:
