For several years, I wrote articles on this blog but I have now integrated my own blog into my business website. Please continue to read and enjoy the articles at the Tap4Health EFT blog.

A new branch of science called Epigenetics moves medicine from simple mechanics to the Quatum Science level. Epigenetics proves that our health is NOT predetermined by genes and that we have control over how our genes express themselves thus determining if we experience a disease or not.

Using an experiments on mice that are identical genetically, scientist were able to completely change the health of the mice by changing diet. This is exciting stuff.

And what are the tools scientist say can alter the way our genese are expressed?

“New research shows that consciousness (beliefs, feelings, prayer, energy, thought) may have epigenetic effects.”

Tools from the emerging field of energy psychology, such as EFT, can change what happens to our genes and whether or not we experience a particular disease.

So please ignore that media next time it informs you that they have identified a gene for this or that disease. Yes the gene may lead to that diesase but YOU HAVE CONTROL over whether it happens or not.

A ground breaking Epigenetic Science award was recently presented in Los Angeles. You owe it to yourself and your health to be informed about epigenetics. The most approachable book on the subject is: The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention

In a recent newsletter article, I wrote about using EFT to break the patterns of anger that can really do damage to us and those we love.

I get most client inquiries from men for anger management yet one of the best reference books I have for patterns of anger is called Healing Rage:Women Making Inner Peace Possible by Ruth King. The book helps you identify your primary anger disguises and gives you a number of practices for healing this rage. EFT, when combined with these practices, can yield to fantastic results.

Anger disguises include behaviours such as:

• Dominance
• Defiance
• Distraction
• Devotion
• Depression
• Dependence

Ruth King's book is from many years of experience in working with women and anger. When I talked to her about how I related to many of the patterns as a man, Ruth said that she could not claim experience with men as she had not worked with them over the years; yet we are all human and feel the same emotions.

Rage is a strong word for anger. It is at the most intense end of the spectrum of this emotion. There is a long path from peeved, annoyed, aggravated, ..., angry,..., enraged. Most of us don't use the words that can help us identify where we are on this spectrum.

Next time you are feeling angry see if you can identify where you are on a scale from 1 - 10 where 1 is peeved or miffed, and 10 is full blown insane rage. Making this distinction helps identify what actions you can take to break the pattern of anger.

In the last month, I've had some of the worst depression and obsessive thinking that I have ever experienced and believe it may be linked to the shaving creme I've been using. With all me healing skills, I have only been able to reduce the intensity of things a little yet felt very stuck like nothing could or would ever change.

This morning, as I went to shave, I got a nudge to muscle test (kinesiology) about the shaving creme I was using.

I normally only shaved with shaving oil but I bought some cheap home brand razors that just kept getting clogged so started using the shaving creme because then I could use the whole bag of razors. My shaving creme is one that comes in an aerosol and foams when squirted into the hand. So I've been using it for the better part of a month now; the month in which I have had the worst thoughts.

I muscle tested this morning that shaving creme was causing my depression and obsessive thinking and it tested true! I also tested that it would take about a week for the effects of the creme to leave my system so still have to battle through another week. I used soap on top of the oil this morning instead and was still able to use the razors.

So, you might want to experiment with not using the shaving creme for a couple of weeks and see what happens to you thoughts and feelings.

A recent article in the Melbourne Age showed that a review of clinical trials for antidepressant drugs regularly prescribed in Australia found they worked no better than a placebo for mildly depressed patients and most people suffering severe depression.

No wonder people are turning to alternatives such as EFT which actually delivers results with better than 80% success rates.

I came up with a question recently about my finances that had me stumped for two days.

Financial abundance has been an area of my life that hasn't improved much even with many years of self development. Sure I've change careers and my lifestyle is wonderful but in terms of actual balance sheet... not much change. Of course, I have done lots of processes around clearing limiting beliefs, past life vows, languages, incantations, affirmations, you name it.

But here's the thing. If you continue to ask questions like "What are my limiting beliefs around money? What is holding me back? What else do I need to clear?" you can only get more answers like that. These are all problem focused questions.

So I asked myself a solution-focused question: "How would I know, even a little bit, that my financial situation was improving? How would I notice that things were getting better, even just a little bit?"

Sure we are told to have Big Harry Audacious Goals and aim for the moon etc and that is where we might end up. But how would you know you are actually moving in the right direction unless you tell yourself what to look for; what to notice?

Of course, these questions don't only apply to financial goals but to any area of your life.

It took me two days before my brain finally gave over some answers to those questions. So what about you? How do you go with coming up with answers for noticing even a little bit of improvement in the direction of your goals.

One of the first things that people apply EFT to is phobias such as Fear of Flying. I have had so many requests from people who have friends that can't and won't fly because of a paralyzing fear of flying. The only way to get them on to a plane is a combination of drugs, alcohol and sheer grit your teeth will power.

Because of these requests, I'm running a workshop specifically to help you clear your Fear of Flying. This is a 3-hour workshop held at Tap4Health from 7:00 - 10:00pm on Wednesday 27th February. The cost is $180. Places are limited to the first 10 people so if you interested book in ASAP.

In Australia, people often go the Qantas Fear of Flying workshops which are full of information about how safe it is to fly. Unfortunately, these have the effect of you feeling even more stupid for feeling the fear but doesn't actually do anything about clearing the fear.

With EFT we clear the fear of flying gently and permanently.

After you clear the fear, only then do the facts makes sense. Fear sits in a different part of the brain from logic. It is much more primitive and it takes lots of effort and will power to overcome it. But once we apply EFT to the fear the primitive part of the brain lets go and our higher faculties take over.

Full details for the Fear of Flying Workshop including payment, address, details and more.

I was eating a meal sometime back and stopped for a moment to appreciate all the people had were involved in getting that meal to my plate. The first meal I did this was sardines on toast with cherry tomatoes on top.

I sent a thought of appreciation to the fishermen who caught the sardines. Then a thought to the fish market that processed the catch. Then to the factory that canned the fish. Then to the truck drivers who tranported the fish to my grocery store. The shelf fillers who put the cans on the shelf. The check out attendant who served me.

I also gave myself some appreciation for preparing the meal to enjoy and further appreciation went out to all those people who were clients of my practice who had given me money (a form of appreciation) which allowed me to buy the sardines. I also thanked the sardines for contributing to my health and well being.

Then I thought about the bread and the tomatoes. Well a farmer had to grow them so I sent some appreciation to him. And again through the supply chain to get them to my table.

Doing this appreciation at each meal, I have noticed two things. Firstly, I appreciate what I eat a lot more and feel connected to a much wider world around me. Secondly, I usually muscle test what supplements I need to take each day and I noticed a distinct drop in the amount of supplements that my body wanted now that I was appreciating my food.

In many religions there is some form of prayer given before eating. You may know it as "Saying Grace". While you may be thanking God for putting the food on your table, be sure that send some appreciation to all the people he worked through to get it there.
