Simple question to ask when tapping on “Victim” feeling
Monika came to see me for an EFT session. She is one energetic lady. Athletic, focused and professional. Like many of us, she had a “life” growing up. Intense life with numerous challenges and a loss of a parent at a very young age. She survived it all. And even thrived. Yet, occasionally, the pain would surface, reminding her of all the problems she had to face in her young life. Just like we all do when we feel un-resourceful, she too was FEELING like a victim. On the scale 0-10, that feeling was 7. Very intense, yet somehow manageable.
When doing EFT tapping with a client, it is highly important to ask them about the feeling as well as the “reality” of their statements. To the question how true is the statement “I AM a victim”, she said it is completely true; 100%. She felt as a victim at 7, but she “knew” she was a victim at 10+. Her identity was one of the victim and she felt it in her gut and chest, she just “knew” that she is a victim.
I asked her “How do you know you are a victim?”, and she responded with teary eyes… because they stole my car… in 2007… and they stole everything that was in, my documents, my home keyes, phone, clothes…. Tears were just about to slide her cheeks. We took a deep breath and start tapping.
Even though
- I feel like a victim, because I am one, I accept that feeling
- I know I am a victim, I never get a minute of rest from God, I deeply and completely accept myself
- they stole my car, and that means I am a victim, I got a new car… maybe I am not such a victim after all…
As we taped on the face and body, she started breathing better and the feeling dropped to 5. Identity to 7. We continued:
Even though
- I love being a victim, I have been a victim my whole life, I am doing a good job at it, I still accept who I am and how I feel
- being a victim is familiar and I love it, I also love feeling calm and peaceful
- I love being a victim so much, please steal my car again….. {here was the point of laughter, she had this sweet child-like smile, sweet sigh of relief}
We didn’t tap the rest of the points, just took a deep breath and it all dropped to 3.
One last round was combination of words we used in our previous sessions and words from today. All of them were funny to her now. We tapped until she was laughing and the energy changed. It changed for good.
With a big smile on her face, she said; you know; I am really not a victim, I have overcame so much in my life, if I would be a victim, I would never survive this. She was proud of herself, she was fulfilled.
I was happy for her too.
Nest time, when doubts come, see how much you “feel” them and how much you “believe” them. Tap on it all and Liv Delicious!
Share“Honey” ways to relax and meditate
If you know Angela Treat Lyon, you have enjoyed her “Honey Breath” meditation.
It is just so Delish. You will love it too.
A simple exercise that will help you feel great:
1. Stop right now, take a little breath just to relax a bit
2. Rest your hands in your lap
3. Uncross your legs
4. Put your feet flat on the floor (better yet, the earth)
5. Sit up straight without being rigid
6. Gaze gently and casually at the sky
7. Imagine it is as sweet as honey
8. Pretend your pores are drinking in the entire sky as you gaze & take a deep breath in through your nose.
9. Imagine, feel or think about all that sweetness completely soaking into you.
10. Allow it to fill all of you up with each breath
11. Allow the sweetness to seep back out of all your pores and watch it rejoin the sky
12. As you exhale out of your mouth, allow any thoughts, emotions or ideas you don’t like, any pain, toxins or pollutants to gently go out.
13. Just allow them to go out of you, and keep your main focus on the sweet.
14. Allow yourself to BE Sweetness.
…and Stay Delicious!

Productivity and EFT
Emails, phones, text messages, TV, request, demands, invitations…. oh la la…
If you are human being in this age and time, you probably know what I am talking about.
Although modern technology helps, it also has its side effects.
One of them is DISTRACTION. It can “thin-out” our ability to focus and thus make us less productive and therefore less confident in our ability to lead our own life.
When we do something half way, we are not beaming with joy, we are not proud of our skills and often, there is a feeling of guilt, shame or self doubt.
EFT is super effective tool for clearing up these emotions, but hey, why have them at the first place? If there is a way (and there is) to organize our environment in a way that supports us, we will get more productive. and probably ther feeling of guilt will be replaced with feeling of satisfaction and contentment. Satisfied people are pleasant to be around. Who wouldn’t want to be surrounded by loving and accepting friends?
And it all starts with us. Managing our lifestyle.
I am personally, very excited about checking my email twice a day, and eliminating other distractions as well.
Speak less. Communicate more.
If you want to join me in the productivity project, come on!
“I don’t want to be happy, I want to get married!”
The whole Liv Delicious movement is based on creating a life that feels good. Pleasing. Attractive. Happy. It is about inner “stuff”. Yet, we often want outer stuff first. And we want allow a drop of joy in before we get what we want.

ShareThe Myth of EFT
When you first heard of Tapping or EFT, have you thought that it looks a little weird? If you are like me, you probably did your first round with lots of skepticism. Your curiosity was what kept you tapping, isn’t it?
And then, as if by magic, you get a result, amazing result. Headache is gone, the pain you had for years, maybe traumatic memory or chronic fear…. gone… no more… Freedom!
You start believing in it so much that you try it on every possible thing and it feels so right, it feels perfect. You share it with your friends and family, you even start a little “EFT biz” and call yourself an Expert after doing first 15 sessions or reading a book, or watching the video. It’s just simply fascinating!
… I would like to end the story here and say that all EFT-ers lived happily ever after…
Gary Craig’s daughter Tina, busted my myth of EFT with the simple statement:
“EFT is very powerful, but it’s not magic!”
Tapping is just a tool, a vehicle, a method that indeed creates remarkable changes.
The myth of happiness is that I only have to have this ______ (thing, person, house, money) and everything will be all right.
The myth of EFT is that I only have to TAP on this ________ (issue, emotion, memory, behavior) and everything will be all right.
Although I am someone who taps every day, I am more than a tapper. There is more to life. And there is more to you.
When we buy into the myth that everything will be ok “if” or “when” I tap on everything, we forget that life is colorful and in order to really thrive and live a Delicious life, we are allowed to experience life and make mistakes or we can easily get sucked into the closed box. We can stop learning and develop the limiting belief “I am the expert”. (It might sound as a cute affirmation, yet, if not used properly, it has a trap in it.)
The trap of “The expert” is very subtle and feels so good to the ego. (Look at what happened to James Arthur Ray). There are gurus that are “saving” your relationships, while they have been single ever since their last divorce years ago, there are marketers that are selling expensive products on how to heal certain problem, while they are still having that same problem, there are broke ones that will help you make more money…
And while I believe that indeed, tapping can help you with all of those circumstances; it is obvious that “tapping only” will not.
Good, quality life requires your full participation. If you have craving, tapping can help – but if you are hungry – eat. If you are tired, tapping can help – but napping can too. If you are lonely, tapping can cheer you up – so can dancing with your friends.
Look at the situation and see all the ways that are to be covered:
- emotional
- physical
- practical
The choice to tap, is an excellent choice, that will make no lasting difference whatsoever if you don’t embrace your life as well. If you only tap on your “money issues” and never make the first step to ask for the raise, or contribute to the world with your talents, mere EFT will just be “weird tapping”.
Even Gary Craig himself said many times that the way of tapping is just one level and that as the time goes by, the planet will became more subtle and we will get results without tapping at all. I was in the audience as he was sharing that in his workshop. Someone asked him about his personal life, assuming that he is tapping all day long. He laughed and shared that he also has a life and is allowing himself to watch “mindless TV” too. (Yup, there were some sighs in the room that expressed shock and disbelief)
Gary Craig is retiring and will be closing his website and EFT shop. Most of his DVDs are already sold out for good. If you don’t know Gary and want to see him in action, click here to check out what is left in EFT store.
I am inviting you to USE your own common sense and take part in the magic of life.
Hundreds of years before EFT was invented, people were overcoming amazing obstacles, growing and contributing to the world. Now, with the power of Tapping (which I am so grateful for) we can do so much more. If we expand our mind, our thinking and join in with the whole heart.
Yes, I am pro tapping.
And yes, I am also pro thinking… pro living.
Fanatic “tapping-only” without life is not Delicious to me.
Life is for living, Liv Delicious!
