Three Keys to Optimal Health & Healing
Do you know what it takes to achieve optimal health & healing?
Many of you may be familiar with Dr. Mark Hyman, one of the world’s leading functional medicine doctors and NY Times bestselling author (10 times over!). He says, “There are three things that are critical for healing: it’s what you eat, moving your body, and learning how to reset your nervous system.”
We know that our choice of food matters, and so does engaging in regular exercise. But what about that third part, resetting your nervous system? What’s that all about?
The answer lies in the amount of stress you have in your life, and how pervasively connected it is to many health issues and illnesses.
Chronic stress is damaging because it activates your body’s fight-or-flight mechanism, releasing hormones like adrenaline and cortisol into your blood stream. These hormones are beneficial in short bursts, but can contribute to a lot of health issues over time when continuously released.
Here’s one clinical study that shows the correlation of chronic stress and the measurement of cortisol (a stress hormone) in your body.
In order to stop this cycle, you need to reset your nervous system. And what does Dr. Hyman recommend for resetting your nervous system? EFT Tapping!
Using his words, “Tapping is one of the most directed and powerful ways to peel those layers away of chronic stress. It’s very effective for very difficult problems.”
If you want to learn about how you can overcome illness, create long-term, lasting health, or just get over regular stress and feel better, then I highly recommend you watch the video below.
In this interview, as part of the 10th Annual Tapping World Summit, Dr. Hyman shares some pretty amazing information! Things that you won’t want to miss, such as…
The monkey study that revealed the importance of one particular thing that many take for granted.
One of the leading causes of chronic illness that people don’t know about, going all the way back to childhood.
Why many of the patients who come to him are in fact doctors who are looking for solutions that work.
And much more…
Watch the video. It could provide a radical shift in your understanding of how to create real long-term health. Enjoy!
And if you’d like to learn more about how Tapping can be used to address many other different aspects of your physical, mental, and emotional health, I highly encourage you to register for the 10th Annual Tapping World Summit!
Until next time…
Keep Tapping!

How to Use “In Between Time” to Transform Your Life
Tapping for Psoriasis – Research Points to Irritation Relief
December 19, 2017
Incredible Research That Will Make You Instantly Healthier
Most of us would agree that having a positive attitude is good for our health. Stress is bad, being happy is good. Simple enough.
But while we believe this, we tend to “stop” that belief when it comes to “real” disease. We think a positive attitude can have a general impact on our health, but the moment there’s a “diagnosis”, we discard that belief and laser lock in on the diagnosis, and the fact that it’s “real”.
I see it all the time when it comes to pain relief.
Time and again I’ve seen EFT Tapping work miracles for pain relief. I know the results are there – they’ve been rigorously studied and documented.
But even when I tell people this, their first “Yes, but…” is, “I’ve been diagnosed with problem ___.”
Fill in the blank with the medical condition that has been labeled, and thus codified into something that can only be handled with “real” treatments!
(And again, our programming is at work here in a large part, because we’ve been convinced, by a myriad of factors, into believing that white coats and pastel-colored pills are the things that fix these “real” diseases – and the only things that do).
Ask yourself….
How far are you willing to take your belief (if you have it!) that a positive attitude can help the body heal?
Does it apply to other people, but not to you? (I’ve seen this happen…”Oh, I’ll tell Suzy she needs to be more positive and it will help her body heal that pain, but MY thing is different.”)
So the conundrum is that many of us have a belief that a positive attitude, and that things like meditation and EFT Tapping can help the body heal, but we only allow it to go so far.
And that’s why I was delighted to read about a study conducted at Carnegie Mellon University, where scientists analyzed the effects of common cold and influenza viruses on people with different attitudes.
193 healthy volunteers went through an interview to determine the levels of positive and negative feelings that they felt in their lives, and shortly after, were exposed to one of the viruses using nasal drops. (Brave volunteers if you ask me… I hope they paid them well!)
The result?
Those with a more positive outlook on life were much more resistant to sickness than those who had a negative outlook! (Read the full study here.)
It’s crazy if you think about it… here was this VIRUS, this real thing, that we’ve all experienced the real consequences of, and how long it lasts, and how much it sucks, and… being positive could stop it from taking root!
You’ve heard it a million times, “There’s no cure for a common cold!” Well… being positive was the cure for many of the people in this study.
In my original email leading to this post I said, “I ran across a research study the other day that, when you read its conclusion and apply its simple directive, will make you instantly healthier and help you fight the common cold and flu this winter.”
The reason reading this study can make you instantly healthier is it’s critical to REPROGRAM your mind toward all the benefits of being positive!
I know, it seems silly. But you have in this moment, and in every moment in your life going forward, the opportunity to choose to be more positive, and now you know that EVERY time you make that choice, again and again, you are LITERALLY making yourself healthier!
My challenge for you today is to look for those places in your life where you’ve been limiting the power of being positive, of releasing stress, and notice the limitation you’ve created for yourself. “Oh, it can work on ___ but it can’t for ___.”
Identity that limit and break through it!
Find a challenge in your life where you haven’t applied Tapping, and use it there now. Even if it’s not directly related to beliefs about the common cold or flu, or even your body’s health, just using Tapping to reduce stress about anything is going to make you more resilient!
If you’re a member of our Tapping Insiders Club, this week I’ll be conducting a Masterclass on how to supercharge your immune system with Tapping, so be on the lookout for that!
And if you’re not a member, and want to learn more, you can read about it here: LINK
Until next time…
Keep Tapping! (And getting healthier and healthier!)
P.S. The study also identified other studies that have shown the benefits of positive emotions. From the text of the study:
For example, positive emotional style (PES) was found to be associated with…
(1) lower rates of stroke among noninstitutionalized elderly
(2) lower rates of rehospitalization for coronary problems
(3) fewer injuries
(4) improved pregnancy outcomes among women undergoing assisted fertilization
(5) better self-reported health and fewer symptoms in the elderly
(6) less pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(7) or fibromyalgia
Not bad huh? Now get Tapping and get releasing the stress in your life! You’ve got this!

Jack Canfield Shares His Wisdom (Video)
When I was first conducting interviews for our Tapping Solution film several years back, there was one man who I absolutely knew I wanted to get on camera…
I had been following his work for years, and always found him to have an ability to explain things in a way that was simple, yet so incredibly powerful.
When I did finally get to sit down with him, what he shared was not surprisingly, extremely clear and eye-opening.
I want to share that video with Jack Canfield today, who is known as “America’s Success Coach.” I’ve seen this video dozens of times, and originally shared it publicly in 2011 for our Tapping World Summit, but I know you’ll benefit greatly from watching it (even if you’ve seen it before – repetition is the key!).
Here’s some of what Jack shares in the video:
– At around 2:24 he goes into the specifics of what stops people from growing and getting to where they want to be.
– At around 3:52 he goes into the importance of being able to let go of things from your past, including negative emotions like resentment, anger and blame, to open up the space for more of the things you want to receive.
– At around 8:40 he shares the most common blocks he has seen with people who are blocked from earning more and allowing more abundance into their lives.
I hope you enjoy the video. I love it, and I think you will to.

Tapping Success Story: Invoking the Law of Abundance
Before Victoria discovered Tapping, she felt like defeat, disappointment, depression and anxiety were the norm.
“Even though I had experienced a certain amount of success and achievement according to most standards, everything still felt empty and pointless,” she explained.
Several years ago, she lost a business in a legal battle, and the heartbreak and drama of that lingered inside. She took a job working in accounts receivable at a law office because she wanted the stability of a pay check and weekends off.
Victoria played small for awhile. “But sitting in that law office with a nice view, I got so ‘good’ at my job that it became easy and mind numbing, and I started dreaming of what kind of business I could start. I didn’t act on anything because the lingering fear was still inside me from losing my business before. But my boss noticed that I was smart and she started loading up my desk. When another employee quit, I absorbed her entire workload. It was too much.”
So Victoria signed up for the The Tapping Solution for Financial Success and Personal Fulfillment program.
Not much happened right away, but soon she noticed things beginning to move inside her. “I took the course to heart and literally tapped on everything.
There were waterfalls of tears at times, shifts that made my body shake or sweat from anxiety as I broke through.” But Victoria kept tapping and began seeing changes.
“I felt more confident. I started to believe that maybe I could start my own company again.” She had a confrontation with her boss at the law office and she stuck with her truth. She was called in the next day and let go.
“I kept tapping on the fear about how I would bridge the gap between leaving my job and starting my business. I had never applied for unemployment and used to judge people who asked for it, until that moment when I realized it’s just a tool and it’s ok to accept help. So I did and it bridged my six month gap. Thank you, tapping!”
Victoria began to watch her life unfold. “I’m definitely more confident and self-assured since I started tapping. And I can soothe myself instead of looking to others for advice or answers or reassurance.”
Many of Victoria’s friends and family commented that she seemed much more grounded and relaxed. “I think that makes them want to be around me more. Instead of me feeling like an abandoned child desperate for attention, I’m an adult who has choices about where and how and with whom I want to spend my time.”
With the inner changes, Victoria started seeing how her relationships improved. “I’m able to let people fuss and have bad days and not absorb their issues; I don’t need to fix or save them.”
She started healing family relationships. As a child, Victoria faced abuse, neglect, sexual assault, and other painful dramas. Her mother was a particularly challenging person in her life.
“Last summer, I started to get a clear picture of my feelings towards my mom and one day was able to say plainly to her, ‘If you want a relationship with me, it has to be good for me. If that’s not possible, that’s ok, because I’m ok, and I wish you the best.’ After that conversation, we spoke a few more times, and I explained what would make it good for me. And it’s been an effort for her. But she’s doing better all the time.”
With tapping, she also discovered a talent and passion for song writing, which, ironically, helped her reconnect with extended family.
“I had just learned to play the guitar the year I started tapping. I posted a song on my Facebook page and one of my cousins saw it and contacted me. She said she played too, that I should come up and visit and we could jam. So I did.
That was my first visit home in over 15 years. That first night, we played bingo and drank tequila and laughed and there was none of the bad feelings I had from my family before. I started to see that I actually had an abundance of family.”
Tapping also helped Victoria move forward with her financial goals. With money coming in from her new business, she bought a nice new car and moved into her own two-bedroom apartment by the beach.
She decided to hire employees to help with her business, which soon meant profit of more than $40,000 per month. At her prior job, that was what she made per year. She wrote an e-book and then she started a second online business.
Victoria credits tapping for her financial success. “It was so profitable so quickly because I tapped on everything and worked through every issue I faced. If I had to make a sales call and was nervous, I tapped. Then I called, sometimes tapping while on the call, and each time I made the sale.
Anytime I was doing side work or inventory or writing a script for my seminar and got stuck on what to say, I would tap, and find the solution, and move on.”
Now, Victoria is living her ideal life.
One of the best parts is that she can spend time however she wants. “I play tennis on the weekends. I take long walks with my dog. I visit family when I want. I play the guitar. I go to see live music.”
She is also able to be there for others when they’re going through tough times. “I listen and am present for them. Sometimes they ask about tapping and sometimes I just work with them in general on their energy. But most of the time, me just living my life and following my dreams has inspired those around me. So the quality of life both for me and my loved ones has improved, and that’s fun.”
What a stunning success story! Thanks for sharing, Victoria!

LOVE This Short Video
It’s easy to feel gratitude when you’re at the Thanksgiving table, and that’s one of the beautiful things about that holiday.
It reminds us to pause, to reflect, to see the good in our lives and the world.
But what about the week after? What about when the day gets busy or even overwhelming, or things don’t seem to go as smoothly as you want them to?
Now, THAT’S when you need the extra dose of gratitude.

A Short Lesson on Gratitude
Today I have a short story for you…
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which read, “I am blind, please help.”
There were only a few coins in the hat – spare change from folks as they hurried past.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words.
Then he put the sign back in the boy’s hand so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon, the man who had changed the sign returned to see how things were.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” I wrote, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”
Both signs spoke the truth. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign conveyed to everyone walking by how grateful they should be to see…
When your life seems full of troubles, it seems difficult to maintain an attitude of gratitude, doesn’t it? All we see are our problems, like a blackened storm cloud casting a dark shadow over our lives.
And the times when everything just seems to be going smoothly? We often take these precious moments for granted too, don’t we? Caught up in the bliss, comfort, and familiarity of it all, we can simply forget to be thankful.
So what, then, is gratitude?
Simply put, gratitude is a habit. It’s a way of looking at the world and all the good things in it with a feeling of appreciation, regardless of whether or not your current situation is to your liking.
Gratitude is a heart-centered approach to being at peace with yourself and with all you have. When you practice this feeling of gratitude, it attracts even MORE things into your life for which to be grateful.
Go ahead, try it out right now. What or who do you have in your life to be thankful for?
