Hello, hello,

Speaker:a powerful tool for
Speaker:emotional and physical wellbeing,
Speaker:EFT tapping.
Speaker:And with a true expert in the field,
Speaker:I'm thrilled to be joined

Speaker:and healing to the world.
Speaker:So if you're ready to learn
Speaker:more about beyond the pills
Speaker:ways to overwhelm and
Speaker:emotional blocks and
Speaker:stepping into a more
Speaker:empowered by version of yourself, well,
Speaker:this conversation is for you.
Speaker:So let's welcome Ruthie to the show.
Speaker:Welcome.
Speaker:Welcome.
Speaker:Thank you, Josh.
Speaker:I'm glad to be here.
Speaker:Glad to have you.
Speaker:I'm so glad that we were
Speaker:able to connect in the ways
Speaker:that we did because what
Speaker:you're doing is really
Speaker:powerful stuff in this world.
Speaker:And especially as it relates
Speaker:to the world of healing and
Speaker:transformation,
Speaker:which is where I love to be.
Speaker:So have this sort of unique
Speaker:approach to wellness.
Speaker:Can you share a little bit
Speaker:about your journey and what,
Speaker:What led you to become an
Speaker:integrative wellness coach
Speaker:in this EFT tapping thing?
Speaker:We'll get into what the tapping is,
Speaker:but I want people to
Speaker:understand a little bit of
Speaker:your story first.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Thank you, Josh.
Speaker:Well, I started out like you,
Speaker:very traditional.
Speaker:My undergrad degree in
Speaker:nutrition is from UNC Greensboro.
Speaker:And then my master's in
Speaker:public health nutrition is
Speaker:from Chapel Hill.
Speaker:And I was a registered
Speaker:dietitian for thirty seven years,
Speaker:to be exact.
Speaker:And along the way,
Speaker:I just learned that for a lot of us,
Speaker:eating and making choices
Speaker:about food and exercise, et cetera,
Speaker:is much more complicated
Speaker:than knowing what's good
Speaker:for you or not what's good for you.
Speaker:That my personal issue,
Speaker:I guess I would say, is emotional eating.
Speaker:When my father passed away
Speaker:unexpectedly in nineteen ninety,
Speaker:I ate my way through the
Speaker:grief and I see that as a
Speaker:gift now and that it led me
Speaker:into learning more about emotional eating,
Speaker:which eventually led me to
Speaker:EFT or emotional freedom techniques.
Speaker:So I'm giving you the full name.
Speaker:We shorten it to EFT tapping,
Speaker:but when you hear this is
Speaker:about emotional freedom,
Speaker:it has a lot more meaning than just EFT.
Speaker:So emotional freedom
Speaker:techniques is pretty much
Speaker:where I have focused since
Speaker:twenty twelve and
Speaker:and going deeper into it,
Speaker:becoming a certified health
Speaker:coach just last year.
Speaker:So adding some new skills to
Speaker:what I was doing with EFT.
Speaker:And then an offshoot of EFT
Speaker:called matrix re-imprinting
Speaker:is something else I really love.
Speaker:And maybe we'll get into that later.
Speaker:We'll see.
Speaker:I love it.
Speaker:You already you already
Speaker:dived into a few components
Speaker:that I love talking about.
Speaker:And and a lot of what we say
Speaker:around here is like the
Speaker:things we all know how to
Speaker:eat right and exercise.
Speaker:We know what good food is.
Speaker:We know like good, healthy habits.
Speaker:And yes,
Speaker:it's so much more complex than the what.
Speaker:Because when you get down to it,
Speaker:how do you make meaningful change?
Speaker:How do you understand this emotional side?
Speaker:Because yes,
Speaker:the relationship we have with
Speaker:food is all stemmed around
Speaker:our emotional imprints and
Speaker:how we've been programmed
Speaker:and in our ways.
Speaker:And so I love that you blend
Speaker:through your own experience.
Speaker:We've talked about it almost
Speaker:on every single episode
Speaker:that we have our personal
Speaker:journey that's attached to
Speaker:why we help others.
Speaker:And so-
Speaker:you dove right into that.
Speaker:Um, and, and,
Speaker:and looking at this emotional freedom,
Speaker:like just saying that makes it,
Speaker:it resonates, right?
Speaker:There's a,
Speaker:there's a freedom to that
Speaker:because I think we
Speaker:sometimes feel locked in our,
Speaker:our emotional patterns and
Speaker:how our state of being is.
Speaker:And so, um,
Speaker:what what got you into let's
Speaker:let's let's roll right into
Speaker:the the let's call it the
Speaker:eft tapping or the
Speaker:emotional freedom um so for
Speaker:listeners that are new to
Speaker:that what exactly is eft
Speaker:tapping and how does it
Speaker:work on both emotional and
Speaker:physiological levels
Speaker:That's a big question, Josh.
Speaker:So EFT, again,
Speaker:I said it stands for
Speaker:emotional freedom
Speaker:techniques and that's plural.
Speaker:Sometimes you'll see it just
Speaker:singular technique,
Speaker:but the reality is there's
Speaker:many different techniques
Speaker:to it is where we do
Speaker:something that looks a little silly.
Speaker:So I'll admit when I first saw it,
Speaker:I was like,
Speaker:you gotta be kidding me that
Speaker:this does something for you,
Speaker:but you literally tap on
Speaker:meridian endpoints and,
Speaker:on the body and on the face.
Speaker:And this has been proven to
Speaker:lower your cortisol level
Speaker:or your stress hormone and
Speaker:who's not stressed these days, right?
Speaker:So in lowering your stress hormone,
Speaker:we get what we call the
Speaker:three C's of tapping.
Speaker:which is calm, clear, and create.
Speaker:So we're able to calm the nervous system.
Speaker:So important these days, right?
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:we have our own personal lives and
Speaker:then what's going on in the world.
Speaker:There's just so much stress in the world.
Speaker:So learning to deal with stress,
Speaker:to calm your nervous system,
Speaker:to regulate your nervous system is huge.
Speaker:And EFT is one of the best modalities,
Speaker:I guess,
Speaker:that I have found for calming the
Speaker:nervous system.
Speaker:So when I work with people privately,
Speaker:we talk about some other things.
Speaker:Breathing obviously is a
Speaker:quick one that you can take.
Speaker:three conscious breaths and
Speaker:calm yourself a little bit.
Speaker:Orienting is another one,
Speaker:which is just noticing your surroundings.
Speaker:So sight, sound, et cetera.
Speaker:But with tapping, you're going deeper.
Speaker:So back to these three C's,
Speaker:you calm the nervous system,
Speaker:you clear whatever it is
Speaker:you want to clear.
Speaker:So it can be stress, anxiety, worry,
Speaker:anxiety,
Speaker:cravings for chocolate chip cookies.
Speaker:It can be pain,
Speaker:physical and emotional pain.
Speaker:It's actually, what is the word,
Speaker:approved by the Veterans
Speaker:Administration for veterans
Speaker:to work with PTSD.
Speaker:And it is used in a lot of
Speaker:different places, different ways.
Speaker:For instance, there's a program called
Speaker:tapping in the classroom.
Speaker:So it's being brought into
Speaker:schools to help children
Speaker:learn to regulate their nervous systems.
Speaker:It's being used in many
Speaker:different ways these days.
Speaker:And when I first got into it
Speaker:in twenty twelve, nobody had heard of it.
Speaker:I mean, it was just, you know,
Speaker:not in the mainstream at all.
Speaker:Today,
Speaker:you can go to YouTube and you can
Speaker:put in celebrities who use
Speaker:EFT tapping and there's a
Speaker:video of all the
Speaker:celebrities that use this
Speaker:on a regular basis.
Speaker:For example,
Speaker:Whoopi Goldberg killed her
Speaker:fear of flying with EFT.
Speaker:So there's a lot of younger ones,
Speaker:but I don't know all of them.
Speaker:Anyway, it's all good because.
Speaker:You know, I, you know, I,
Speaker:there's a lot of things
Speaker:going on in this world,
Speaker:but what that's good
Speaker:because we're starting to
Speaker:understand this.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:I love that you brought in the
Speaker:science of it.
Speaker:Like we're,
Speaker:we're actually moving from the
Speaker:stress response system into
Speaker:the sympathetic,
Speaker:into the parasympathetic space,
Speaker:rest and digest, right?
Speaker:Calm, clear,
Speaker:create is when we're in that
Speaker:parasympathetic tone and
Speaker:you're using these
Speaker:acupressure meridians that
Speaker:are all connected to the
Speaker:vagus nerve and moving the
Speaker:system down so if you want
Speaker:to get geeky on the science
Speaker:these are quick ways in order for us to
Speaker:tap into the regulatory
Speaker:physical component that's
Speaker:actually moving into the
Speaker:emotional and energetics of
Speaker:it by just doing simple, easy techniques,
Speaker:but in a targeted and systematic way.
Speaker:So it's not like we're just
Speaker:tapping everywhere.
Speaker:It's just kind of like if
Speaker:you've ever done acupuncture, right?
Speaker:They're going in certain
Speaker:places to do certain things
Speaker:at certain times.
Speaker:So I love that you brought that up.
Speaker:how in the heck did it find you?
Speaker:That's what I want to know.
Speaker:Like how, and how did you, cause what I,
Speaker:when I have all these
Speaker:conversations with people of like,
Speaker:I've been doing this for,
Speaker:for years and nobody even
Speaker:knew what I was talking
Speaker:about when functional
Speaker:medicine was out there or
Speaker:whatever the thing is.
Speaker:It's right.
Speaker:I was like, I'm, I was at the table when,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:Well, this found you.
Speaker:So how, how did it find you?
Speaker:How did EFT find you?
Speaker:I love this story because
Speaker:this is how people connect.
Speaker:We connect through our story.
Speaker:Yeah, well, it was two thousand and nine,
Speaker:actually.
Speaker:Two thousand and nine.
Speaker:I was playing on the
Speaker:Internet and I found Joseph
Speaker:Mercola's website,
Speaker:who big name and looking at
Speaker:the functional medicine stuff,
Speaker:looking at the nutrition stuff.
Speaker:And EFT was on his website.
Speaker:And that's where I first experienced it,
Speaker:first played with it.
Speaker:And my first reaction was
Speaker:this was ridiculous.
Speaker:I have to admit that this
Speaker:tapping on your body, your face.
Speaker:I was like,
Speaker:how in the world does that help
Speaker:with anything?
Speaker:I'm going to fast forward to
Speaker:twenty eleven when I found
Speaker:the Tapping World Summit,
Speaker:which a group called the Tapping Solution,
Speaker:which is actually a family, Nick Ortner,
Speaker:Jessica Ortner and Alex Ortner,
Speaker:two brothers and a sister group.
Speaker:started the tapping solution
Speaker:and they do this world
Speaker:summit every February.
Speaker:And so it was the twenty
Speaker:eleven tapping world summit
Speaker:where I was actually doing
Speaker:this with experts that I
Speaker:started having significant
Speaker:shifts and changes.
Speaker:And I was like, whoa,
Speaker:there really is something to this.
Speaker:And so I found a trainer
Speaker:here in the Charlotte,
Speaker:North Carolina area,
Speaker:who's somebody who's not training now,
Speaker:but anyway.
Speaker:And so I actually did the
Speaker:training with her in twenty twelve.
Speaker:But I found it by accident
Speaker:or maybe by accident.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:On the Internet in two thousand and nine.
Speaker:But it was three years before I was asked.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:I'll say two years because twenty eleven,
Speaker:I started using it for myself,
Speaker:started learning about it for myself,
Speaker:going to YouTube and finding videos,
Speaker:etc.,
Speaker:But once I trained in it,
Speaker:I really got hooked.
Speaker:And it's a little
Speaker:embarrassing to tell you
Speaker:how many trainings I've done in EFT.
Speaker:It's
Speaker:well into the double digits.
Speaker:I'll just put it that way.
Speaker:Well, that's the thing.
Speaker:When something strikes you,
Speaker:I don't believe there's any
Speaker:accidents in this world.
Speaker:But we also don't know the
Speaker:divine timing of when those things unfold,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:Just searching the internet
Speaker:and going onto some site
Speaker:because Mercola has been out for a while.
Speaker:So there's some authority into that.
Speaker:And all of a sudden it's like, oh,
Speaker:let me see if that thing does.
Speaker:And then all of a sudden it
Speaker:one little thing happened to
Speaker:become your thing.
Speaker:And over the last, you know,
Speaker:ten to fifteen years, you're like,
Speaker:this is where I need to be.
Speaker:And it's like a hundred
Speaker:percent of the time,
Speaker:which is so validating to all this stuff,
Speaker:is like,
Speaker:We use it on ourselves.
Speaker:We see a great result through experience,
Speaker:not through this whole
Speaker:intellectual I'm reading about it.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:That part is fine,
Speaker:but it's working it through
Speaker:your experience that says, oh,
Speaker:like you said, it's like, oh,
Speaker:this feels weird.
Speaker:I don't know.
Speaker:And then all of a sudden
Speaker:it's like there was some
Speaker:point that clicked.
Speaker:You had that aha is like
Speaker:there is something to this here.
Speaker:Let me explore this further.
Speaker:That's how lifestyle change works.
Speaker:That's how transformation works, right?
Speaker:It's not getting to the end result.
Speaker:It's like going to that next
Speaker:step and saying, being curious,
Speaker:I'd like to put that into the seas,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:Being curious and saying, all right, maybe,
Speaker:maybe this is something.
Speaker:And then all of a sudden
Speaker:just allowing it to unfold, right?
Speaker:and moving it into that space.
Speaker:So we're gonna do a live demonstration.
Speaker:Cause you told me like,
Speaker:I'm not going on until
Speaker:unless we can tell them,
Speaker:we could show the listeners
Speaker:how this thing works,
Speaker:because this is a perfect
Speaker:example of that and what we can be doing.
Speaker:But before we get into that, can you,
Speaker:share share a couple do you
Speaker:have any stories of
Speaker:transformation or things
Speaker:where somebody came to you
Speaker:with this you did a few
Speaker:things here and then their
Speaker:their outcome was why I
Speaker:want to I want people to
Speaker:understand like the
Speaker:practical applications of
Speaker:what this is because
Speaker:sometimes we bundle the
Speaker:word stress and it becomes like
Speaker:a numbing word to us.
Speaker:Like we all know our stress.
Speaker:Seventy percent of us are in
Speaker:fight or flight most of the time, right?
Speaker:We're not in rest and digest.
Speaker:What I love telling people, though,
Speaker:is you're in one or the other.
Speaker:You can't be in both.
Speaker:You're either in a restful,
Speaker:parasympathetic state where
Speaker:you can digest and clear
Speaker:your mind and detoxify and heal,
Speaker:or you're in fight or flight.
Speaker:And the body doesn't know if
Speaker:you're running from a tiger or
Speaker:or if you're stuck in traffic,
Speaker:it's the same mechanism.
Speaker:Fourteen hundred chemical
Speaker:reactions in less than a second happen.
Speaker:So we know we're in the stressful world.
Speaker:We know that we're anxiety.
Speaker:We know we have all these things.
Speaker:But give us, like,
Speaker:I just want to know a little bit of, like,
Speaker:what's the practicality of
Speaker:what you're talking about here?
Speaker:Like, going from here to here,
Speaker:is it in the acute moment?
Speaker:Are we doing this?
Speaker:I kind of know the answer.
Speaker:But, like, I want you to say, like,
Speaker:are we doing this so we can
Speaker:get out of the state?
Speaker:Or are we doing this to shift a new reset?
Speaker:Okay,
Speaker:so you've asked me several things at
Speaker:once.
Speaker:I'm going to back up for a moment.
Speaker:Unpack it for me.
Speaker:I'm going to throw it out
Speaker:there and then see what sticks.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:you mentioned curiosity and one of my
Speaker:favorite things.
Speaker:So when we're tapping around these points,
Speaker:we say phrases and we start
Speaker:with what we call truth telling,
Speaker:which is we start with I'm
Speaker:so stressed or I'm so angry
Speaker:or I'm so hurt or whatever.
Speaker:my back's hurting or, you know, whatever.
Speaker:We start with the truth and
Speaker:then we work toward where we want to go.
Speaker:And so one of the things I
Speaker:like to say when I'm doing
Speaker:the tapping is I'm choosing
Speaker:to be curious and kind with myself.
Speaker:because a lot of times we judge ourselves,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:We're very hard on ourselves.
Speaker:We have that inner critic
Speaker:that's alive and well in
Speaker:our heads all the time.
Speaker:So learning to calm that
Speaker:voice so that we're able to
Speaker:calm ourselves is a huge thing.
Speaker:But before we get into
Speaker:getting to demos and I'll
Speaker:give you an example,
Speaker:I do have some statistics
Speaker:pull up that I want to share.
Speaker:And going back to the cortisol level,
Speaker:the stress hormone.
Speaker:So the original study, I believe,
Speaker:was done around twenty twelve,
Speaker:twenty thirteen,
Speaker:and then it was replicated
Speaker:in twenty nineteen again.
Speaker:if I have my years right,
Speaker:where they showed that the
Speaker:cortisol level with tapping
Speaker:drops by about thirty seven percent.
Speaker:So a huge shift in cortisol.
Speaker:I'm going to give you some
Speaker:other statistics.
Speaker:These were compiled by.
Speaker:Peta Stapleton,
Speaker:and she is an EFT trainer
Speaker:and a psychologist at Bond
Speaker:University in Queensland, Australia.
Speaker:So these are just some
Speaker:statistics that have been compiled.
Speaker:So one is it is proven to
Speaker:lower pain by fifty seven percent.
Speaker:It is proven to lower
Speaker:anxiety by forty percent.
Speaker:Depression decreased by
Speaker:thirty five percent.
Speaker:Now, again,
Speaker:this is a compilation of
Speaker:different studies.
Speaker:So PTSD symptoms decreased
Speaker:by thirty two percent.
Speaker:Food cravings decreased by
Speaker:seventy four percent.
Speaker:And that's one of Peta
Speaker:Stapleton's main areas that
Speaker:she focuses in.
Speaker:She actually did fMRI
Speaker:studies on the brain where
Speaker:they could look at how the
Speaker:brain lit up with certain
Speaker:foods before doing tapping
Speaker:and certain foods afterwards.
Speaker:So that's one she's gone
Speaker:more in depth with.
Speaker:lowers blood pressure by eight percent,
Speaker:increases happiness by
Speaker:thirty one percent.
Speaker:And an interesting one,
Speaker:I believe this was compiled
Speaker:around the pandemic,
Speaker:increase in immune system
Speaker:markers by one hundred and
Speaker:thirteen percent.
Speaker:So when you look at those
Speaker:kind of statistics,
Speaker:it gets your attention.
Speaker:It makes you realize there
Speaker:really is something to this.
Speaker:So you asked me for specifics.
Speaker:So I had a client that I'm
Speaker:going to call Susan, not her real name,
Speaker:who when she first came to me,
Speaker:she was very anxious, anxiety,
Speaker:generalized anxiety on a regular basis.
Speaker:And I don't remember now if
Speaker:she was on medication at the time or not.
Speaker:but she didn't wanna be on medication.
Speaker:She wanted to learn how to
Speaker:deal with it for herself.
Speaker:And so we used a scale of zero to ten.
Speaker:How anxious are you in this moment?
Speaker:Nine, ten.
Speaker:I mean, always it was eight, nine,
Speaker:ten for her.
Speaker:She didn't function below eight, nine,
Speaker:ten.
Speaker:So we started doing some
Speaker:tapping and you asked me,
Speaker:I don't remember exactly
Speaker:how you worded it, but when we do EFT,
Speaker:we are working on the daily
Speaker:accumulated stresses.
Speaker:So we are working in the present,
Speaker:but we're also going into the past.
Speaker:We're also working on where
Speaker:this came from.
Speaker:So it's both, it's both and,
Speaker:and the future, you know,
Speaker:how do you want to be in the future?
Speaker:So it's a little bit of both.
Speaker:But for her, we worked on the current, the,
Speaker:you know, the today, the present.
Speaker:But we also went into the
Speaker:past and the reasons why
Speaker:she was so anxious in the first place.
Speaker:She was able to get where
Speaker:her normal functioning was
Speaker:around one to three instead
Speaker:of this eight to ten all the time.
Speaker:where it was about one to
Speaker:three on a regular basis.
Speaker:And she actually decided to
Speaker:go to do EFT training to, you know,
Speaker:I actually lost touch with her.
Speaker:So I don't know if she ever
Speaker:used it with other people
Speaker:or if she just used it with herself,
Speaker:but she went to a trainer
Speaker:and did training because
Speaker:she found such a
Speaker:significant shift for her.
Speaker:I've also had one client who
Speaker:very low self-esteem,
Speaker:very hard time functioning in the world.
Speaker:And this was actually during the pandemic.
Speaker:And she had gotten so shut
Speaker:down and so into her own
Speaker:home that she hardly left.
Speaker:So it wasn't really that she had,
Speaker:what is that one?
Speaker:What's the phobia where you
Speaker:don't leave your house?
Speaker:I forgot the name of it.
Speaker:Agoraphobia, yeah.
Speaker:Yeah, agoraphobia.
Speaker:It wasn't really that.
Speaker:It was just the way she felt
Speaker:about herself.
Speaker:She just didn't really want
Speaker:to go out in the world.
Speaker:There was no, there was no...
Speaker:I call it like that drive to motivate,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:It's like you get stuck in that space.
Speaker:We all get there, right?
Speaker:And then it gets worse and
Speaker:worse because there's that,
Speaker:you go down the roll, right?
Speaker:And so that's cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So for her,
Speaker:we were able to make... What
Speaker:did you do with her?
Speaker:So she's actually been a long...
Speaker:she's actually been a long-term client.
Speaker:We've worked together for a couple years.
Speaker:Most people, I'll just let you know,
Speaker:it's much shorter term than most therapy,
Speaker:by the way.
Speaker:Usually most people,
Speaker:three to six months is as
Speaker:long as I work with them.
Speaker:But she stayed with me for a couple years.
Speaker:And now she couldn't even
Speaker:imagine being in a relationship.
Speaker:She's been in a relationship
Speaker:now for eight months or so.
Speaker:feeling so much better,
Speaker:getting out in the world, riding her bike,
Speaker:just doing a lot of things
Speaker:that she just didn't have the confidence,
Speaker:the desire or whatever to do.
Speaker:But we've worked through so
Speaker:much of her childhood stuff
Speaker:and feeling rejected by her
Speaker:father who left her mom, you know,
Speaker:all kinds of divorces, you know,
Speaker:a big thing and how people see themselves,
Speaker:excuse me.
Speaker:So huge shift for her and
Speaker:how she lives her life.
Speaker:And she, and this was done before,
Speaker:just through EFT tapping.
Speaker:So we're taking, you know,
Speaker:I want people to understand
Speaker:the essence because what
Speaker:we're really talking about
Speaker:is transforming, right?
Speaker:We're moving from this state of, you know,
Speaker:whether it's anxiety, depression,
Speaker:and it makes good sense, right?
Speaker:If you can get the body
Speaker:out of fight or flight and
Speaker:reduce that cortisol levels,
Speaker:thirty seven percent is a big deal,
Speaker:right?
Speaker:We don't have many
Speaker:nutraceuticals that will work like that.
Speaker:We don't have many other techniques.
Speaker:But if you look at reducing
Speaker:the stress levels,
Speaker:moving people into that
Speaker:rest and digest parasympathetic state.
Speaker:And if you get there,
Speaker:thirty seven percent of
Speaker:cortisol like going down of pain, anxiety,
Speaker:depression, PTSD, food cravings,
Speaker:blood pressure.
Speaker:And yes, immune system.
Speaker:This is why meditators have
Speaker:higher immune systems.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:These are why we're studying.
Speaker:I would just say, guys,
Speaker:it's no longer woo.
Speaker:Like we're doing little
Speaker:simple techniques that have
Speaker:profound results.
Speaker:If you take the percentages that you said,
Speaker:yes,
Speaker:it's one study and it's not one study.
Speaker:It was grouped.
Speaker:It was peer reviewed.
Speaker:Like these are the things
Speaker:that are happening.
Speaker:But if you took these
Speaker:statistics and you say,
Speaker:what drug does all of this, right?
Speaker:If there was a drug that
Speaker:could reduce pain by fifty
Speaker:seven percent and anxiety
Speaker:by forty and depression by
Speaker:thirty five and PTSD by thirty two,
Speaker:reducing food cravings by
Speaker:seventy four percent,
Speaker:who doesn't have a food craving?
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:From an emotional perspective,
Speaker:it improve your immune
Speaker:system by one hundred thirteen percent.
Speaker:Like,
Speaker:pharma could be marketing this drug
Speaker:for thousands of dollars
Speaker:per pill because no drug
Speaker:will hit those statistics.
Speaker:And yet here we are.
Speaker:You go to someone that's able to teach it,
Speaker:and then you do these
Speaker:techniques in a simplified way, right?
Speaker:I don't want to overcomplicate it.
Speaker:Simple.
Speaker:There's, this is not invasive.
Speaker:There's no harm being done
Speaker:from the perspective of a
Speaker:side effect of tapping.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And you're getting really good results.
Speaker:Like I'm glad you brought up
Speaker:these statistics because that's how our,
Speaker:our
Speaker:right brain approach needs
Speaker:to look at this stuff.
Speaker:Like it's gotta be
Speaker:analytical if it doesn't work this way,
Speaker:but it's like, Hey,
Speaker:if I could do this and also
Speaker:not have a complicated,
Speaker:complex side effect profile, like, wow,
Speaker:like, holy moly, we're in a good place.
Speaker:So I, I,
Speaker:I just love the simplicity of
Speaker:these types of things where
Speaker:it's got such a good impact and
Speaker:And it doesn't take a ton of
Speaker:effort compared to take
Speaker:five medications plus, you know,
Speaker:how many times a day,
Speaker:how often do people do this?
Speaker:Like, what's the session?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I want to know these things.
Speaker:I can't.
Speaker:Yeah, we're breaking up a little bit,
Speaker:so I didn't catch everything you said,
Speaker:but I think you're asking how often.
Speaker:Is that right?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I know we're breaking up here.
Speaker:I have no idea how my
Speaker:connection is on the phone.
Speaker:Yeah,
Speaker:I was wondering if it was mine or yours.
Speaker:So I apologize if it's mine.
Speaker:Well, I will, you know, it varies.
Speaker:It varies on what you're using it for,
Speaker:what the purpose is.
Speaker:But I will say that Dawson Church,
Speaker:who is a big name in the EFT world,
Speaker:excuse me,
Speaker:you mentioned meditation earlier.
Speaker:He talks about meditation
Speaker:being kind of the baseline
Speaker:of calming your nervous
Speaker:system and all the
Speaker:beautiful things meditation does.
Speaker:I'm also a follower of Joe Dispenza,
Speaker:a big name in the meditation world.
Speaker:So yeah.
Speaker:But he talks about using
Speaker:meditation as kind of your
Speaker:baseline and then EFT to
Speaker:deal with those daily
Speaker:accumulated stresses.
Speaker:So when I teach people how
Speaker:to do this for themselves,
Speaker:which is what we're going
Speaker:to do in a minute,
Speaker:I use the analogy of your dental health.
Speaker:meaning everybody brushes
Speaker:their teeth at home or
Speaker:hopefully everybody brushes
Speaker:their teeth at home.
Speaker:Maybe people floss, maybe they don't.
Speaker:We're not going to get into that,
Speaker:but you have your own
Speaker:dental care routine that
Speaker:you do for yourself.
Speaker:And then if you've got pain,
Speaker:you go to a dentist, you, you know,
Speaker:to have that taken care of.
Speaker:I see EFT the same way,
Speaker:meaning that you use it for
Speaker:yourself on a regular basis and,
Speaker:And Steve Wells,
Speaker:who is an EFT practitioner in Australia,
Speaker:talks about energy toning.
Speaker:And that means using tapping
Speaker:just on a regular basis
Speaker:every day just to calm your
Speaker:nervous system.
Speaker:So he talks about he does it
Speaker:when he walks his dog.
Speaker:He talks about his wife does
Speaker:it when she's at stoplights,
Speaker:when she's driving to work.
Speaker:So wherever you can just
Speaker:bring it into your life on
Speaker:a regular basis,
Speaker:just to calm your nervous
Speaker:system is beautiful.
Speaker:But then when you decide to
Speaker:work with a practitioner,
Speaker:it's when you want to do healing work,
Speaker:deeper healing work.
Speaker:So when I'm working with individuals,
Speaker:we're going into childhood trauma.
Speaker:We're going into all kinds
Speaker:of things that need healing
Speaker:work on beyond what you
Speaker:would do for yourself on a daily basis.
Speaker:So it varies on what the
Speaker:purpose is and how much you would do it.
Speaker:But yeah.
Speaker:Are you interested in trying?
Speaker:No,
Speaker:I've used the same analogy for
Speaker:meditation versus like a
Speaker:Joe Dispenza retreat, right?
Speaker:And I'm a big fan of Dispenza as well.
Speaker:And that's why we connect, right?
Speaker:They just happen to be like that.
Speaker:It's like I'm learning to
Speaker:use his stuff in corporate
Speaker:settings and teaching people that.
Speaker:But I say the same thing.
Speaker:It's like you brush your teeth every day,
Speaker:but every three to six months or so,
Speaker:you need a deep cleaning.
Speaker:That's why you go to the
Speaker:dentist to do your deep cleaning.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:I go to dispenser retreats to do my
Speaker:deep work, right?
Speaker:I go do these things.
Speaker:things where I go to costa
Speaker:rica and do a plant
Speaker:medicine retreat because I
Speaker:want to do my deep stuff my
Speaker:deep work techniques to do on summer
Speaker:Jeremy?
Speaker:Lost your picture for a minute.
Speaker:Now you're coming back in.
Speaker:I'm just going to check and
Speaker:make sure nobody's on the
Speaker:internet in my house.
Speaker:That's weird.
Speaker:I'm not sure why my internet
Speaker:is low because...
Speaker:because I'm hardwired into
Speaker:the whole system.
Speaker:So work on it.
Speaker:Hang on one second.
Speaker:I'm just telling everybody
Speaker:to get off the internet in
Speaker:case anybody's on it here.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So are you ready to jump
Speaker:into doing some tapping together?
Speaker:We're back.
Speaker:Um, something with the internet.
Speaker:I would, I would love to, I love, I, I,
Speaker:I always do the, I always teach the,
Speaker:the do me first principle when I,
Speaker:when I mentor professionals in wellness.
Speaker:So let's, let's dive in.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So like a kid,
Speaker:I treat me like I don't know anything.
Speaker:OK,
Speaker:so first I want to show you the tapping
Speaker:points and then we're going
Speaker:to get into actually doing it.
Speaker:So the first point that
Speaker:we'll be using today is the
Speaker:side of the hand.
Speaker:So I'm just going to ask you
Speaker:to start doing this with me.
Speaker:So this is under the pinky finger.
Speaker:We're gently tapping with
Speaker:three or four fingers.
Speaker:And when we're here,
Speaker:we're going to do what's
Speaker:called a set up phrase or
Speaker:balancing statement.
Speaker:So I'll get into, well,
Speaker:let me explain what that is.
Speaker:That is where we're going to
Speaker:tell the truth,
Speaker:even though I'm so stressed,
Speaker:even though I'm anxious,
Speaker:even though I'm mad at my brother,
Speaker:even though my back's hurting,
Speaker:whatever it is.
Speaker:And then you say something
Speaker:positive right here.
Speaker:And right now I'm okay.
Speaker:Or I'm choosing to be
Speaker:curious and kind with myself.
Speaker:So I'll lead you through it.
Speaker:You'll be repeating after me,
Speaker:like we're playing Simon Says.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So we're going to do first
Speaker:this side of the page.
Speaker:Say that again.
Speaker:I'm sorry.
Speaker:How hard,
Speaker:how hard does one tap when
Speaker:they're tapping?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Just gently tapping.
Speaker:So I have tell people when
Speaker:you're really angry,
Speaker:be careful that you're not banging.
Speaker:You know, you don't,
Speaker:you don't want bruises.
Speaker:You don't want to hurt yourself.
Speaker:You just gently tapping.
Speaker:So the next point that I
Speaker:like to use is the eyebrow point.
Speaker:Some people start on the top of the head.
Speaker:I end on the top of the head.
Speaker:I'm telling you that because
Speaker:if you go to YouTube and by the way,
Speaker:there are hundreds of YouTube channels.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:I don't know if there's hundreds of
Speaker:different channels,
Speaker:but I have my own EFT
Speaker:channel on YouTube and
Speaker:there are many more.
Speaker:So there are actually thousands of videos.
Speaker:If you go there,
Speaker:if you see somebody start
Speaker:on the top of the head, fine,
Speaker:doesn't matter.
Speaker:But we're going to take two
Speaker:fingers and gently tap
Speaker:between the eyebrow points.
Speaker:And when we do this,
Speaker:we're going to do a reminder phrase.
Speaker:And again,
Speaker:I'm going to lead you through
Speaker:this right now.
Speaker:I'm just showing you the points.
Speaker:The next one is the side of the eye.
Speaker:And you're just gently
Speaker:tapping on the bone on the
Speaker:side of the eye.
Speaker:So it's not way back on the temple.
Speaker:It's right on the side of the eye.
Speaker:The next one is under the eye.
Speaker:So those are the three eye points.
Speaker:We call it the eyebrow side
Speaker:of the eye and under the eye.
Speaker:The next one is under the nose.
Speaker:The next one is called the chin,
Speaker:but it's actually the
Speaker:indention between the lip and the chin.
Speaker:Our next point, which is my favorite one,
Speaker:let me get up a little
Speaker:higher is you find your
Speaker:collarbone points and then
Speaker:you go down about an inch
Speaker:and out about an inch so
Speaker:you're a little bit closer
Speaker:to the shoulder yep you got it josh.
Speaker:And by the way,
Speaker:you can do this one handed or two.
Speaker:I'm just showing you two hands right now.
Speaker:The next point is called the
Speaker:underarm point.
Speaker:So for the ladies,
Speaker:that's down at the bottom
Speaker:of the bra line or where
Speaker:you would wear a heart monitor.
Speaker:So it's about five or six inches down.
Speaker:Get a little higher.
Speaker:So right in here.
Speaker:And you can do what you're doing,
Speaker:which is called cross body
Speaker:or what I'm doing,
Speaker:which is the same side of
Speaker:the body either way.
Speaker:And then the last point is
Speaker:the top of the head.
Speaker:So there are some others that people use,
Speaker:but those are the ones
Speaker:we're going to use today.
Speaker:That's nine points.
Speaker:That's a lot to keep up with, right?
Speaker:So the side of the hand,
Speaker:the three around the eye, under the nose,
Speaker:chin, collarbone, under the arm,
Speaker:top of the head.
Speaker:Don't worry,
Speaker:I'm going to say them for you.
Speaker:I think we could do this with like,
Speaker:have you ever done a class
Speaker:with like kids where it's
Speaker:almost like Simon said,
Speaker:being done in like a classroom setting,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:I'm going to try this with my girls.
Speaker:Oh yeah.
Speaker:How old are your girls?
Speaker:Just turned nine and the
Speaker:other one will be turning eleven.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:As a matter of fact, there is a book.
Speaker:So I mentioned the Tapping
Speaker:Solution with the Ortners earlier.
Speaker:They wrote several books.
Speaker:There's one just called The
Speaker:Tapping Solution.
Speaker:There's one that's for teenage girls,
Speaker:and I'm not remembering the
Speaker:title right now.
Speaker:I'd have to look over here.
Speaker:I know it's pink.
Speaker:I'd have to find it.
Speaker:But anyway,
Speaker:then there's also books for children,
Speaker:younger one.
Speaker:There's one called...
Speaker:gorilla thumps and it's over here too.
Speaker:I'd have to look it up, but it's,
Speaker:it's cute when you said
Speaker:that where you kind of, you know,
Speaker:sound like a monkey for little kids.
Speaker:So yeah,
Speaker:I had a friend that taught it in
Speaker:kindergarten,
Speaker:taught kindergartners and
Speaker:that's how she taught it with them.
Speaker:So, yeah.
Speaker:OK, so the points.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:The next thing I want to ask
Speaker:you is I want you to tell
Speaker:me what you are feeling
Speaker:emotionally right now.
Speaker:So it's a little bit of a
Speaker:challenge when you're doing
Speaker:it demo wise because people
Speaker:aren't always stressed, but stressed,
Speaker:angry, worried, you know,
Speaker:anything that you may have going on.
Speaker:And I'll just use stress if
Speaker:you can't think of anything.
Speaker:No, this is good.
Speaker:I agree.
Speaker:I'm totally vulnerable, right?
Speaker:This is how it works in the day and age.
Speaker:No,
Speaker:we're doing a lot with the shift of our
Speaker:business and a lot of
Speaker:things going on in different ways.
Speaker:I would say a little anxious
Speaker:and frustrated.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So I'm going to ask you to give me numbers,
Speaker:zero to ten, ten being the highest,
Speaker:how anxious you feel in
Speaker:this moment when you think
Speaker:about business stuff.
Speaker:I'm going to say five.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And how frustrated you feel
Speaker:in this moment with what's going on?
Speaker:This morning, very different.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:I would say,
Speaker:because this stuff lights me up,
Speaker:like I'm probably at a,
Speaker:let's say at a sixth.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So I like to start with the
Speaker:one that's the higher.
Speaker:So we're going to start with
Speaker:frustration instead of anxious.
Speaker:But a lot of times when you work on one,
Speaker:the other one goes down anyway.
Speaker:So we're going to do one round with that.
Speaker:And then I'm going to ask
Speaker:you another question about it.
Speaker:So I'm just going to ask you
Speaker:to tap with me and repeat after me.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:So, actually,
Speaker:I want to ask one more wording.
Speaker:I said business stuff.
Speaker:What is the right word?
Speaker:Growing your business,
Speaker:when you say frustrated with,
Speaker:what would you say?
Speaker:I think it's just more around the lines of,
Speaker:yeah, it's the...
Speaker:the not knowing the evolution.
Speaker:It's just, we're right in the mix.
Speaker:So maybe, yeah.
Speaker:Evolving, evolving the business.
Speaker:Evolving the business.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:The reason I ask is your
Speaker:words are more powerful than mine.
Speaker:So if I say something wrong,
Speaker:like if I say it makes me
Speaker:frustrated and you're like, no,
Speaker:it makes me angry.
Speaker:Now, you know,
Speaker:if it shifts while we're doing it,
Speaker:tell me,
Speaker:interrupt me and let's shift it
Speaker:to where you are.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So repeating after me,
Speaker:coming to the side of the hand,
Speaker:gently tapping.
Speaker:So even though I'm feeling frustrated.
Speaker:Even though I'm feeling frustrated.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:With everything going on
Speaker:with evolving the business.
Speaker:With everything going on
Speaker:with evolving the business.
Speaker:Right here and right now, I'm okay.
Speaker:Right here and right now, I'm okay.
Speaker:So even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious...
Speaker:Even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious...
Speaker:With not knowing where
Speaker:we're going... With not
Speaker:knowing where we're
Speaker:going... We're right in the mix.
Speaker:We're right in the mix.
Speaker:Right here and right now, I'm okay.
Speaker:Right here and right now, I'm okay.
Speaker:So even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious...
Speaker:Even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious.
Speaker:With everything going on
Speaker:with evolving the business.
Speaker:With everything going on
Speaker:with evolving the business.
Speaker:I'm open to the possibility.
Speaker:I'm open to the possibility.
Speaker:That I can release and let
Speaker:some of this go.
Speaker:That I can release and let
Speaker:some of this go.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:We're going to switch to the
Speaker:eyebrow point.
Speaker:Going to the eyebrow.
Speaker:So frustrated.
Speaker:So frustrated.
Speaker:I am so frustrated.
Speaker:Side of the eye.
Speaker:So frustrated with everything going on.
Speaker:So frustrated with everything going on.
Speaker:Under the eye.
Speaker:We're right in the mix.
Speaker:We're right in the mix.
Speaker:Under the nose.
Speaker:So many unknowns.
Speaker:So many unknowns.
Speaker:Chin.
Speaker:We're evolving the business.
Speaker:We're evolving the business.
Speaker:And there's some frustration in this.
Speaker:And there's some frustration in this.
Speaker:Collarbone.
Speaker:I'm feeling frustrated and anxious.
Speaker:I'm feeling frustrated and anxious.
Speaker:Under the arm.
Speaker:And I'm choosing to slow down.
Speaker:And I'm choosing to slow down.
Speaker:And just be curious and kind with myself.
Speaker:And just be curious and kind with myself.
Speaker:Top of the head.
Speaker:And be open to new possibilities.
Speaker:And be open to new possibilities.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:I'm going to ask you to stop
Speaker:tapping for a moment.
Speaker:Take a sip of whatever you're drinking.
Speaker:And I'm going to ask you to
Speaker:tune into your body.
Speaker:Where do you notice that
Speaker:you're carrying frustration
Speaker:and anxiety in your body?
Speaker:Oh,
Speaker:this is my embodiment work I'm working
Speaker:on.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:The analytical guys in us
Speaker:have a hard time centering in the body.
Speaker:I think here, this is where I know it is.
Speaker:So my know is right here.
Speaker:So shoulder and which side is that?
Speaker:I get confused with backwards.
Speaker:Right shoulder.
Speaker:Right shoulder.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Now would you say right
Speaker:shoulder and neck or just shoulder?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Right shoulder and neck.
Speaker:Yep.
Speaker:Shoulder and neck.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So we're going to do a
Speaker:little more tapping and
Speaker:then we're going to check
Speaker:back in on how you're doing.
Speaker:So go back to the side of the hand.
Speaker:We're just going to do one
Speaker:time on the side of the hand this time.
Speaker:Excuse me.
Speaker:So even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious.
Speaker:Even though I'm feeling
Speaker:frustrated and anxious.
Speaker:And I'm carrying it in my
Speaker:right shoulder and neck.
Speaker:And I'm carrying it in my
Speaker:right shoulder and neck.
Speaker:I'm choosing to release and
Speaker:let go what I can today.
Speaker:I'm choosing to release and
Speaker:let go what I can today.
Speaker:All right, go into the eyebrow.
Speaker:I still have this
Speaker:frustration and anxiousness.
Speaker:I still have this
Speaker:frustration and anxiousness.
Speaker:Side of the eye,
Speaker:and I'm carrying it in my
Speaker:right shoulder and neck.
Speaker:And I'm carrying it in my
Speaker:right shoulder and neck.
Speaker:Under the eye, all this frustration.
Speaker:All this frustration.
Speaker:Under the nose, we're right in the mix.
Speaker:We're right in the mix.
Speaker:Chin, and I'm carrying it in my body.
Speaker:I'm carrying it in my body.
Speaker:Collarbone,
Speaker:I'm just acknowledging what I'm feeling.
Speaker:I'm just acknowledging what I'm feeling.
Speaker:Under the arm,
Speaker:and I'm choosing to be
Speaker:curious and patient with myself.
Speaker:And I'm choosing to be
Speaker:curious and patient with myself.
Speaker:Top of the head.
Speaker:And I'm open to releasing
Speaker:and letting this go.
Speaker:And I'm open to releasing
Speaker:and letting this go.
Speaker:All right, Josh,
Speaker:I'm going to ask you to
Speaker:stop tapping and just tune
Speaker:back in and notice what you notice.
Speaker:So if you go ahead.
Speaker:I feel like.
Speaker:I definitely feel like a de-escalation.
Speaker:Like there's this sense of
Speaker:relaxation that I get
Speaker:almost when I've been meditating.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:Not like in this like,
Speaker:because I wasn't really in a, you know,
Speaker:I wasn't in a really like,
Speaker:like really crazy energetic space,
Speaker:but it was like, I'm feeling like,
Speaker:I'm feeling grounded.
Speaker:I think that might be the
Speaker:word I'm looking for.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:What number would you give
Speaker:frustration now?
Speaker:It's not really top of mind present.
Speaker:Like I'd probably throw it
Speaker:into the three range.
Speaker:I think if I had to put a number on it.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:And anxious zero to ten.
Speaker:Where is that now?
Speaker:Yeah, I think I was like a five or a six.
Speaker:And again,
Speaker:it's probably like two or three.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:And I'm curious,
Speaker:as we were doing the tapping,
Speaker:did any ideas pop into your head?
Speaker:Anything like, oh, well,
Speaker:we could just do so-and-so or, you know,
Speaker:that's not really that big a deal.
Speaker:Any, any, or yeah,
Speaker:I'm really worried about that.
Speaker:Anything that came to mind
Speaker:while we were tapping?
Speaker:And you don't have to share the specifics.
Speaker:I'm just curious if anything came to you.
Speaker:Oops, I can't hear you for some reason.
Speaker:Can you still hear me?
Speaker:I'm still not hearing you.
Speaker:Isn't tech wonderful?
Speaker:I have no idea why your sound went out.
Speaker:I think it's the battery in
Speaker:your microphone maybe.
Speaker:Did you switch to something else?
Speaker:Yeah, maybe.
Speaker:Let me switch my mics real quick.
Speaker:Yeah, I can hear you now.
Speaker:Great.
Speaker:Hold on a second.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:I think we're back.
Speaker:Been one of those days with
Speaker:internet and bikes, apparently.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So you asked if anything came up for me,
Speaker:and I think the essence of
Speaker:what I was grabbing was
Speaker:what the tapping was doing,
Speaker:especially as I was
Speaker:speaking through that process, for me,
Speaker:it was like, again,
Speaker:I feel like grounding.
Speaker:It was like I was pulling it
Speaker:back into the present moment.
Speaker:Like there was no...
Speaker:like anxious is fear of the future.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:Frustration is like what's
Speaker:happening or what's happened.
Speaker:It was like,
Speaker:everything was fine in the
Speaker:moment and that it didn't
Speaker:like consciously bring me there,
Speaker:but it felt like none of that was in this,
Speaker:in the area.
Speaker:Cause I was very focused on
Speaker:just being in the present
Speaker:moment without having to be
Speaker:focused on the present moment,
Speaker:if that makes any sense.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So, so far,
Speaker:nothing has popped into your
Speaker:head as far as where to go
Speaker:with the business or anything.
Speaker:No, just more of a grounded.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Like more of a, it's you're fine, dude.
Speaker:Kind of feeling.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:So I want to go back to the calm, clear,
Speaker:and create.
Speaker:So what we're having is the
Speaker:calm feeling you definitely
Speaker:are experiencing from what you've said.
Speaker:De-escalation, relaxation, grounded,
Speaker:present,
Speaker:and frustrations drop from a six
Speaker:to a three,
Speaker:anxious from five to a two to a three.
Speaker:So that's the calming effect of EFT,
Speaker:that cortisol dropping
Speaker:thirty-seven percent just
Speaker:in those few minutes.
Speaker:And then the clearing,
Speaker:you're not feeling the
Speaker:frustration and anxiousness
Speaker:nearly as much.
Speaker:You're more in the present.
Speaker:So we haven't gotten to the create yet,
Speaker:which is where you get creative, right?
Speaker:Is where the ideas start popping in.
Speaker:So let's do one more round
Speaker:of tapping and just see what happens.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Perfect.
Speaker:No promises here.
Speaker:We'll just see.
Speaker:So going back to the side of the hand.
Speaker:So even though I've let go
Speaker:of some frustration and anxiety.
Speaker:Even though I've let go of
Speaker:some frustration and anxiety.
Speaker:And I'm feeling more grounded and relaxed.
Speaker:And I'm feeling more grounded and relaxed.
Speaker:I'm choosing to open my mind and heart.
Speaker:I'm choosing to open my mind and heart.
Speaker:To new possibilities for my business.
Speaker:To new possibilities for my business.
Speaker:All right,
Speaker:we're going to go back to the
Speaker:eyebrow point.
Speaker:I've let go of some
Speaker:frustration and anxiety.
Speaker:I've let go of some
Speaker:frustration and anxiety.
Speaker:Side of the eye.
Speaker:And I'm feeling more
Speaker:grounded in the moment.
Speaker:And I'm feeling more
Speaker:grounded in the moment.
Speaker:Under the eye.
Speaker:I wonder what some of those
Speaker:beautiful ideas are for my business.
Speaker:I wonder what some of those
Speaker:beautiful ideas for my business.
Speaker:Under the nose.
Speaker:I wonder where we're going to go next.
Speaker:I wonder where we're going to go next.
Speaker:Jen,
Speaker:I wonder if I can just be in the flow.
Speaker:I wonder if I could just be in the flow.
Speaker:collarbone.
Speaker:I wonder if I can just trust
Speaker:everything's happening the
Speaker:way it's meant to be.
Speaker:I wonder if I can just trust
Speaker:everything is happening the
Speaker:way it's supposed to be.
Speaker:Under the arm,
Speaker:I'm choosing to be kind and curious.
Speaker:I'm choosing to be kind and curious.
Speaker:Top of the head and open to
Speaker:new possibilities.
Speaker:And open to new possibilities.
Speaker:All right.
Speaker:So I'm going to ask you to
Speaker:close your eyes for a second.
Speaker:Put your hands over your
Speaker:heart and maybe take a deep breath here.
Speaker:And just play with visioning for a moment.
Speaker:Just anything that comes to
Speaker:you for your business.
Speaker:What's next?
Speaker:What's evolving?
Speaker:What feels good?
Speaker:Just play with it for thirty
Speaker:seconds or so.
Speaker:And whether anything comes to you or not,
Speaker:just be open to that
Speaker:possibility of something coming to you.
Speaker:So I'll just ask you how
Speaker:you're doing anything.
Speaker:Any big ideas pop in?
Speaker:Sometimes they do.
Speaker:Sometimes they don't.
Speaker:Well,
Speaker:it was more of a clarity focus kind
Speaker:of thing.
Speaker:Like I have the,
Speaker:the plan is set for what
Speaker:we're trying to do.
Speaker:But as soon as I started
Speaker:kind of being curious around, like, well,
Speaker:what's, what's in front of it?
Speaker:What can we be doing?
Speaker:You know?
Speaker:And it was kind of like
Speaker:getting that download,
Speaker:not like of the whole process,
Speaker:but of like, oh,
Speaker:that's where you're going to go, Josh.
Speaker:Go settle on your nano
Speaker:emulsions and your
Speaker:compounds and your
Speaker:nutrition that you're doing
Speaker:with the new providers, right?
Speaker:It's like doom, doom.
Speaker:But it wasn't like this
Speaker:conversation I had.
Speaker:It was like almost like a,
Speaker:you know how it is, right?
Speaker:Like you just get the thing
Speaker:and it's just like, boom, okay.
Speaker:Like instead of having to do
Speaker:the winding of like,
Speaker:what am I going to do?
Speaker:And it wasn't mine.
Speaker:It was more of that intuitive thing.
Speaker:thing that I've been
Speaker:exploring a lot more lately.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:So that to me is the beauty of EFT,
Speaker:that you literally, you calm yourself,
Speaker:you clear whatever,
Speaker:and then you can just think more clearly,
Speaker:oh,
Speaker:that's all I need to focus on and just
Speaker:trust.
Speaker:Okay.
Speaker:Love that because I've done
Speaker:something similar in the
Speaker:past where I call it the
Speaker:art of doing nothing.
Speaker:where I'm literally in my own med,
Speaker:like not meditative, not contemplative,
Speaker:but like being in that
Speaker:nothing void with like the
Speaker:tapping and the speaking was,
Speaker:I know it's the subconscious in there,
Speaker:but it's like, it was so cool to,
Speaker:to have this other tool in
Speaker:the toolbox and being
Speaker:guided in the simple way to
Speaker:being able to do that.
Speaker:So that was, that was fun.
Speaker:I really enjoyed that.
Speaker:I'll,
Speaker:I'll be exploring that a little bit more.
Speaker:Cool.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I will tell you when I
Speaker:work with people or not private clients,
Speaker:cause we go more in depth, but when,
Speaker:you know,
Speaker:I'm doing a presentation
Speaker:somewhere or whatever.
Speaker:And the biggest question I
Speaker:get is I don't know what to
Speaker:say because I led you through the words.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And, but I, but if you'll notice,
Speaker:I tried to use your words
Speaker:as much as possible.
Speaker:So I tell people to do one of two things,
Speaker:either just be silent, just tap,
Speaker:just use these points.
Speaker:If you forget a point,
Speaker:don't worry about it.
Speaker:Just tap and take some breaths.
Speaker:That's the easiest thing to
Speaker:do with it or rant and tap.
Speaker:I am so mad.
Speaker:I can't believe my brother said that.
Speaker:Who does he think he is?
Speaker:What, you know,
Speaker:just whatever comes to you
Speaker:and either one of those
Speaker:will help you kind of get
Speaker:through whatever's blocking you,
Speaker:if you will,
Speaker:where you get to that point
Speaker:of being able to think more clearly,
Speaker:like you said,
Speaker:just kind of that intuitive
Speaker:hit comes to you when
Speaker:you're able to let go of
Speaker:the mind running and running.
Speaker:well yeah and these are
Speaker:beautiful tools because
Speaker:I've spent a good portion
Speaker:of my you know growth work
Speaker:of quieting the mind right
Speaker:and getting into the heart
Speaker:and that's part of my life
Speaker:purpose is literally moving
Speaker:from here to here and
Speaker:showing others how to do it
Speaker:so what a cool way to do
Speaker:that today on my own self
Speaker:but also understanding
Speaker:like I said these are tools
Speaker:in our toolbox that we have
Speaker:like what we did didn't
Speaker:take more than five ten
Speaker:minutes and I don't recall
Speaker:putting a big old credit
Speaker:card down to buy like five
Speaker:hundred dollars worth of
Speaker:fun of a device I love
Speaker:biohacking I love that
Speaker:stuff but it's like this this
Speaker:this is, you know, to me it's,
Speaker:it's ancient wisdom meets modern science.
Speaker:That's why I love this stuff.
Speaker:And it's,
Speaker:it's simple right it does
Speaker:it's complex on how it
Speaker:works but you don't need to
Speaker:know right you just said
Speaker:just tap and vent because
Speaker:you're pulling that out
Speaker:energetically and at the
Speaker:same time you're teaching
Speaker:the nervous system to
Speaker:regulate and a lot of what
Speaker:we are doing here in for
Speaker:the learner for the
Speaker:listeners is we are
Speaker:learning to bring up that
Speaker:that uh depleting some
Speaker:people would call negative
Speaker:like emotion right we're
Speaker:bringing that up to the
Speaker:surface and then we're
Speaker:allowing it to come out
Speaker:like what you said before
Speaker:is letting go you want to
Speaker:go down to the deep
Speaker:hawking's books and do all
Speaker:that stuff but what we're
Speaker:is you can bring it up and let it out
Speaker:Like we've taught heart math
Speaker:before with like EFT tapping.
Speaker:This is another awesome tool because,
Speaker:but then you try it, right?
Speaker:You try it out,
Speaker:you do a session and you
Speaker:see if it works for you.
Speaker:And if it does, you explore it more.
Speaker:If it doesn't resonate with
Speaker:you after you've tried it, you know,
Speaker:and stuck with it for a little while,
Speaker:then we got more tools to
Speaker:think about and look at.
Speaker:So how do people work with you?
Speaker:You have clients you work with.
Speaker:You're obviously close to me,
Speaker:which is cool because we
Speaker:can we can get together on other things,
Speaker:especially as we move the
Speaker:wellness center out.
Speaker:But like, how do people get a hold of you?
Speaker:Do you have a is it a website?
Speaker:Are you Instagram?
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:So I will say that my big focus these days,
Speaker:Josh, is that the world is crazy,
Speaker:evolving, changing.
Speaker:We don't know what's going
Speaker:to happen day to day.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:And so to me, creating inner peace is.
Speaker:which tapping, meditation, time in nature,
Speaker:breath work, you know, all the things.
Speaker:Finding that inner peace
Speaker:because it's energy, right?
Speaker:It's we spread the energy of
Speaker:inner peace out into the world.
Speaker:We are helping create world peace.
Speaker:To me, that's very important.
Speaker:So the main place where
Speaker:people can find me is on Insight Timer,
Speaker:the meditation app, Insight Timer.
Speaker:So I have some meditations
Speaker:on Insight Timer,
Speaker:but I do lives every other week.
Speaker:So for those of you on Eastern time,
Speaker:it's Tuesdays at one o'clock Eastern.
Speaker:So whatever that is for you
Speaker:every other week.
Speaker:So the next one, well,
Speaker:I'm not sure when this is
Speaker:going to come out,
Speaker:but there's the next one is
Speaker:May eight or whatever that first.
Speaker:Actually, I guess it's the second Tuesday.
Speaker:Anyway,
Speaker:we'll forget the date because I
Speaker:can't remember right now.
Speaker:Anyway, so when on those,
Speaker:they're thirty minute lives.
Speaker:We do tapping and meditating to do this.
Speaker:We calm our own nervous
Speaker:systems and then we spread
Speaker:it out into the world.
Speaker:So don't want to get deep into it.
Speaker:But if you've looked at Lynn
Speaker:McTaggart's work or any HeartMath,
Speaker:another example of when
Speaker:souls come together and
Speaker:collectively meditate
Speaker:together and spread that
Speaker:energy out into the world,
Speaker:we do make a difference.
Speaker:So I feel like that's really
Speaker:important these days.
Speaker:So I admit I'm still doing
Speaker:individual clients,
Speaker:but my focus is more on the
Speaker:world peace part that I
Speaker:feel like we need to do
Speaker:what we can to make a
Speaker:difference in the world.
Speaker:I love that.
Speaker:That's what I've been
Speaker:following with the HeartMath coherence,
Speaker:world coherence,
Speaker:and doing these
Speaker:beautiful... Because I agree,
Speaker:that's where the big
Speaker:ripples start to affect.
Speaker:So every other Tuesday, one p.m.
Speaker:Eastern,
Speaker:how do people sign up through that?
Speaker:Through a website or...
Speaker:No, just download the Insight Timer app.
Speaker:It's on the Insight Timer app,
Speaker:which there's a free
Speaker:version and then the paid
Speaker:version is sixty dollars a year.
Speaker:So it's still very affordable.
Speaker:The free version,
Speaker:you do get the lives and
Speaker:you get the majority of the meditations.
Speaker:The paid version,
Speaker:you get courses and more
Speaker:in-depth meditations.
Speaker:But there's yoga, there's sound healing,
Speaker:there's all kinds of things
Speaker:on the Insight Timer app if
Speaker:you haven't ever tried.
Speaker:tried it out.
Speaker:No, we had a, we had a, another,
Speaker:it was fine.
Speaker:I think I just recently did
Speaker:a recording where someone
Speaker:else was on insight timer.
Speaker:So it's kind of fun to like
Speaker:see all these new
Speaker:practitioners like pulling
Speaker:in and how they can do well
Speaker:in the world and do well from it.
Speaker:So thank you so much for that.
Speaker:I love this episode because
Speaker:we literally got I got to
Speaker:do my own stuff.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:But I so thank you for that.
Speaker:But you literally showed
Speaker:people how they can get
Speaker:going without too much effort.
Speaker:you know, too much complexity.
Speaker:It's just right there.
Speaker:So thank you for giving us
Speaker:that call to action to
Speaker:actually starting and
Speaker:trying it and seeing how you do with it.
Speaker:That's it.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And I will say, yeah,
Speaker:I have a YouTube channel too.
Speaker:So on my YouTube channel,
Speaker:there are thirty or forty
Speaker:or so recordings of tapping.

Speaker:me on my YouTube channel.

Speaker:Journey with Ruthie Cohen Joyner.

Speaker:That's my website.
Speaker:And I have to admit,
Speaker:I haven't been doing as
Speaker:great a job keeping it up to date lately.

Speaker:different things.
