I had two unusual situations on a recent introductory teleclass for EFT that I have never had before. (For those of you who may not know, a teleclass is a class conducted on the telephone with participants from all over the globe, like a conference call.) One was a woman who had pyrophobia, a fear of fire. Another lady had a fear of taking prescription medications and dying. These introductory teleclasses are for people who have never heard of or experienced EFT before. There can be anywhere from five to 20 participants in these teleclasses. Everyone comes to the class with an issue they want to clear. I explain to them that I do not need to know what the issue is and that everyone will have an experience of EFT. I let them know that I will ask for a volunteer who is willing to let me work with them on their issue.

This story comes straight from my heart to all of you, to encourage you to not ever miss out at an opportunity to 1) work with at-risk kids and; 2) do it for free. The joy you will experience in the process of facilitating their empowerment is precious. Recently the teacher of a school for at-risk children contacted me to find out if I would consider working with two of her students. They wanted to get rid of their individual phobias by doing hypnotherapy. I explained to her that I work with a form of "waking hypnosis" only (EFT), not the traditional form of hypnosis that people usually refer to, and she agreed to bring both of them to my office for a free group session.

One of my students called to bring her son to see me as she felt she had gone as far as she could go with him with EFT. It is important to be aware of your own limitations when working on yourself or loved ones - it does not mean you aren’t competent with EFT. However, an outside perspective can be very helpful. When children are experiencing some difficulty I like to work with the parents as well. Cole came with his mom and we started immediately tapping on an issue. We made a little headway but I sensed that he wasn’t quite ready to go much further. That’s when his mom asked if he’d like to work on his fear of spiders. He was quite willing to see if EFT would work for that as he mentioned being teased at school and feeling embarrassed by it all. I tapped his karate chop point.

I have been doing EFT for about seven years and I am still amazed by some of the results. Recently I arrived at an evening meeting before it began, Susan approached me and said she had seen pictures of me flying float planes (a type of seaplane). She was terrified to fly in one but was taking a trip the next week. She wanted to talk to me about flying in a float plane so she wouldn’t be so scared. At this point it was about five minutes before the meeting started, and I didn't have time to fully explain EFT to her. I told her that I might have something better than just telling her about float planes. I would ask her some questions while I was tapping on certain points. She was to tap on herself.
