Key points from the interview:

Starting at 00:00

  • Thoughts create palpable disruptions in the body
  • Trauma and stress are stored in the body, too
  • Physioemotional pain
  • The thoughts that change pain into suffering
  • Can we use the energy of pain to help transform our health?
  • Remembering means to re-create it in our body, in the emotions, biochemistry, hormones, and nervous system
  • We can use either an emotion or a physical sensation as a doorway into the energy system
  • Combining EFT with massage makes the process easier for both the client and the practitioners
  • The proof of EFT for me was using it for myself and feeling the self-soothing… and having it last

Starting at 11:45

  • Physical resistance: How resistance shows up when we go to a healthcare practitioners, and until that resistance is released, deep healing seldom occurs and interventions that could otherwise be helpful can have a painful effect
  • Western science sometimes rules out all the “known causes” while the person still feels pain. That is the time to ask, “Is there an emotion there?”
  • Emotional components of the pain can stick around causing physical distress to “remind us” until we heal at the core level
  • When we try to aggressively treat symptoms without addressing the resistant core energies, there can be a painful rebound effect
  • EFT can be nicely combined with other approaches including western medicine, naturopathy, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, meditation, prayer… you name it… to bring deeper relief.
  • There is no real separation between physical and emotional pain
  • The journey to financial abundance goes through all the issues of health and wellness, too
  • Youth has a vibration… even at 70+!
  • Features of Thriving Now include a wealth of articles and audios so people can get a sense of whether EFT is right for them personally and whether Rick is the right emotional freedom coach, along with a cost effect EFT Coaching program call the Thriving Now Team.
  • EFT is honest

Starting at 23:20

  • Pain thresholds: how loudly does your body need to scream at you before you will listen?
  • EFT can help us gain permission
  • Ignoring the pain signals from our body has significant repercussions
  • When we drive ourselves all day long, sometimes a single night’s sleep is not enough—and the body will take the rest it needs… one way or another… even in the form of disease.
  • Olivia: “I can’t really slow down right now”
  • EFT coaches act as a mirror, helping us to see the doorways into our energy system more clearly
  • Not everyone will experience quick success; not everyone’s journey to optimal health is as quick as a trip to the nearest 7-Eleven. And that is okay!
  • If you are MAD at your body…
  • EFT can help to take the edge off

Starting at 35:43

  • Transforming Pain: Pain comes with the energy to move us out of our comfort zones
  • Dark night of the soul
  • Pain gave me permission to meditate and change my lifestyle
  • If you feel tense in your body and your emotions are discordant, EFT can be used on all those different aspects
  • Worry and fear flood the body with chemicals that cause disease
  • Go from fight/flight/freeze with EFT to rest & digest
  • From FEAR to SAFETY to Calm and Confident… no matter what!
  • Not staying “down” for so long…
