I was invited to write the chapter on Spiritual Growth with EFT for the book, Freedom at Your Fingertips. As a special bonus for you, here is a PDF of that chapter along with an audio recording of me reading the book and doing the tapping sequences.
...Welcome to Thriving Now!
Hi There!
(March 19, 2023) Next we'll be helping you to Express Your Heartistry on Tue Mar 28th. Your Unique Heartistry Matters! We hope you'll join us.
Our Real Skills focus right now through March is on Be What Matters. What does that mean? It means knowing how you want to be (emotionally) and developing the skill of having that emotional experience over and over again.
Join the Be What Matters Focus Group Here.
We started with Know What Matters to You and followed with Stop Suppressing Yourself. In February we had Quiet Your Noise and Boost Your Energy.
March brought us Clear Your Blocks and next is Express Your Heartistry. Mark your calendars and join the circle if you're not already a member.
All the Real Skills Workshops can be found in the community center.
We've updated the Learn EFT Tapping Course. You're welcome to use it as our gift... and donations are greatly appreciated. The third module with 7 EFT Tapping Scripts for an Abundant & Thriving Life NOW now ready!
All of the self-paced coaching and tapping courses are now in the new system and available for you to explore!
On Twitter? Follow me to get updates.

I spent a lot of years answering the greeting, “How are you doing?” with “fine”—when I wasn’t. I was dying.
...Take away the inhibitions that hold us back [using EFT! -Rick], and everybody loves to dance – to move their limbs to music with abandon. There’s no doubt about it – dance lifts your mood and gets your heart pumping. Just a few minutes of swinging around the room will make you realize that dance is a great way to stay in shape.
...So often when we set life goals or make resolutions, they are around either Big Things We Want or Big Things We Must FIX. I propose you join me in a different kind of personal FOCUS: I Choose To Feel Good!
...The natural vitality and joy that is already there inside you can bubble out when more of your energy isn’t being sucked up and stuffed down because of fear. How would your life be better if you could reclaim that joy?
...Do you ever wish that the eternal inner conflict would just *shut up*?! Or have you gotten so used to it that you forget how much energy it takes up? Honestly, when I started this work, I was so used to the inner conflict and the self-criticism that I didn’t even recognize it as a problem. I …

How do we approach the disagreeable aspects? I have yet to […]
