Dear ,
 I was talking with a client this week about success. We were talking about practice
building, growth, and progress. We
were talking about comparing ourselves to others and insecurity.
The conversation quickly turned to "What would be
really cool?" instead of "What would be really successful?" When I started this web site I wasn't
thinking in terms of page views, google ranking, or number of newsletter
subscribers. (Mostly because I
didn't know any better.)
I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be cool if instead of
writing an e-mail to someone who has asked me a question I wrote something on a
free blog that 25 people somewhere in the world would read."
I know that seems a little naive, but it was true. By going after what I thought
"would be cool if" it slowly created a plan and ideas for the next
step. It helped to guide what
skills I needed to learn.
I hope your week is filled with going after what would just
light you up!
1) The bonus pod this week is only 7 min long. It is one of the coolest thought I have
wrestled with in a long time. I
would love to hear your thoughts on it. (link below)
2) I was interviewing Jessica Ortner this week for a future
podcast and we were laugh about how practitioners work so hard to help their
clients find balance and health only to sacrifice their own to do it. This we I have a few things we can do
to take care of ourselves while helping others (link below)
3) There is a quick little article this week on how to use
the Toa Te Ching with tapping. I
would love to hear some of your favorite passages that can be tapped along to.(link below)
Have an awesome week.

The Past, The
Future, and Now (Bonus Pod)
One of my clients recently asked me, "What is the end game
to this tapping thing?" What he meant by the question is besides the constant
improvement of our lives (which is no small thing), where does tapping lead us?
What is the final goal?
This is a really interesting questions. This bonus podcast
is my reflection on this point. I would love to hear your response to my
thoughts. Please add your thoughts in the comments below.

Taking Care
Of Yourself As A Practitioner
Gene, I always read your materials with interest and would
appreciate your comment concerning energy protection. I have two questions.
First, I understand, before a practitioner starts treating
clients he/she can create a protective energy layer around himself. How does
this affect a practitioner as they connect with a client to muscle test or tune
into what the client is experiencing? Won't this type of protection prevent the
practitioner from doing their work?
Second, I understand one can "cut he cord" of energy between
a practitioner and client, to stop the energy from flowing between them after
the treatment. What about the energies that the practitioner has already
"caught" over the course of the session?

Toa Te Ching/Doa De Jing as a tapping tool?
The Toa Te Ching is an ancient Chinese text that is a
collection of 81 short passages.
As wikipedia rightly states, "The passages are ambiguous, and
topics range from political advice for rulers to practical wisdom for
people."
Some passages are insightful, others are profound, and still
others will leave you just scratching your head in bafflement.
The topic of the Toa Te Ching came up during a client
session recently. The types of
issues we were tapping(EFT) on reminded me of many passages. After the session I dug out my
dog-eared and tattered copy. I was
amazed at how much peace it brought to tap along to the passages.
