Good morning,

One of my favorite parts of what I do is teaching people how to create transformation in their lives on their own.

There are lots of times when it is appropriate and necessary to work with a skilled practitioner AND there is also so much we can do on our own.

When I teach classes on any given topic, I always share a step-by-step process for people to follow independently.

Over the years, I have noticed a common pitfall that my students tend to fall foul of and that is wanting to get the process exactly right. I understand that desire because when we are working on our own, the more we understand a process, the easier it is to use.

For me, following a process precisely is not the important part.

Instead, the process is a framework based on the fundamentals that underlie how healing works. I believe that understanding these fundamentals is more valuable than any process.

When you understand why a process works, then the tool becomes more flexible. You are able to tailor it to the issue at hand, or the person you are tapping with, and to your own helping style.

Tapping is way more effective with an understanding of the hows and whys of healing.

To help you to understand these fundamentals, I am starting a new Healing Fundamentals series on the podcast. Over the course of the series I will share what I believe are the 20 most important concepts in healing and personal transformation work.

The beautiful part of the series is that each of the teachings stands alone; once you understand any one of the ideas, you will get more out of your own tapping or tapping with your clients right away.

In part one of the new series, I am teaching you about the information conveyed by emotions.

Even though most of us tap to stop feeling negative emotions (I certainly do!), when we take a moment to understand why we are feeling a particular emotion, we have access to a doorway into the underlying issue.

Once I learned and mastered this concept, it transformed every round of tapping I have done since. I know that sounds like an inflated claim, but it is true.

I would love to hear how this works for you,
