Welcome to Tapping With Flowers

Introduction to my soon-to-be published book blending EFT and Bach healing herbs.

Taking your health in your own hands

I would like to introduce you to the most amazing DIY (Do It Yourself) Healing model you are likely to ever encounter. Nearly every person can do it, and absolutely every person can benefit from it.

The purpose of this book is to teach, empower and equip you to move into the most fulfilling future you can desire and imagine. We do this by teaching you simple skills for removing emotional and physical blockages through EFT. Then we take those skills and apply them to re-patterning character flaws (yes, we all have them) or deficiencies and learn how to ‘tap’ into the future we want to create.

Have you suffered from phobias , sexual abuse trauma , addictions , depression , obsessive/compulsive behavior , eating disorders , relationship issues , anger management , chemical sensitivities , pain management, poor self worth/self esteem , hit a wall in your sports performance or spiritual disconnection? This book will teach you how to effectively deal with and alleviate these issues, and many, many more.

EHT (Essence of Health Techniques) is the fruit of over 30 years of extensive research in the field of natural healing. As a young father in the early seventies I quickly became aware of the limitations of the allopathic health care system in keeping my family healthy. I ‘happened’ upon the classic Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss which fueled what would become a lifelong passion.

Over the years I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic healing, the Eclectics, Homeopathy, nutrition, Reiki energy, and much more. As I studied it became very clear to me that, as useful and important as these tools are for health, true multifaceted health and healing is a very personal, vital and even spiritual activity that anyone can tap into (pun intended).

Our bodies, or more specifically the cells of our bodies, require very specific ‘stuff’ (not a technical term) for continued existence. The phrase “healthy cells = healthy you” is absolutely true. Our cells require proper absorption, assimilation and elimination for optimal function and health, and good nutrition in proper proportions from pure, natural and preferably organic sources go a long way to assuring a good start toward leading a disease free and healthy life. However, these cellular functions are outside our conscious control in exactly the same way as our heartbeat and metabolic functions are. We can regulate our food intake, stress levels, the toxicity of our environment (relationships, exposure to electro-pollution etc.), present belief patterns and exercise habits and still be attacked with fears, phobias, diseases, debilitating and disabling core belief patterns and health issues that will undermine even our most valiant efforts.

I believe you may find the key to your health and wellbeing in this little book. We don’t claim to treat any of the myriads of named diseases, even though many people have found relief and recovery after the medical profession had given up on them by simply using EFT and the Bach Flower Therapies on which our innovative technique is based.

The practice of either of these systems is based in simplicity itself:

With EFT you merely name the issue you are dealing with, gauge your level of discomfort, place the issue in the blank spot in the affirmation, tap and talk and reap the relief. (It may be a bit more involved than that in some cases but, believe me I have seen almost miraculous results from this simple procedure).

With Bach Flower Therapy you find your particular distress on the list of Bach’s 7 emotional groups, choose the flower that most accurately describes what you are presently experiencing and take that flower essence. Simplicity itself; and your healing is left exactly where it should be; completely in your hands.

With EHT we have drawn the two modalities together and are able to teach you how to tap for the flower essences thereby alleviating the need and expense of the physical flower essences and greatly expanding the breadth and depth of effective self-care.

• Using EFT you will learn how to ‘tap’ for any and all pains, fears, deep-set anxieties, depressions and phobias (and much more).
• Through the flower essences you will learn to recognize personal character flaws and weaknesses that have held you back from fulfillment and allowed illness to manifest in your life. Then, you tap and talk yourself to freedom.


EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) as created by Gary Craig is based on the premise,

“The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.”

And because our physical pains and discomforts are so obviously connected with our emotions the following statement has also proven to be true,

“Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.”


Edward Bach, the father of flower essence therapies, had this to say about disease in Ye Suffer From Yourselves,

“Disease of the body, as we know it, is a result, an end product, a final stage of something much deeper. Disease originates above the physical plane, nearer to the mental. It is entirely the result of a conflict between our spiritual and mortal selves. So long as these two are in harmony, we are in perfect health: but when there is discord, there follows what we know as disease.

Disease is solely and purely corrective: it is neither vindictive nor cruel: but it is the means adopted by our own Souls to point out to us our faults: to prevent our making greater errors: to hinder us from doing more harm: and to bring us back to that path of Truth and Light from which we should never have strayed.

Disease is, in reality, for our good, and is beneficent, though we should avoid it if we had but the correct understanding, combined with the desire to do right.”

Dr. Bach asserted that harmful emotions are the main cause of disease, and he classified emotions into seven principal categories, which will be dealt with further in the book. These categories were then divided further into 38 negative feelings, each of which were associated with a particular therapeutic plant which he called the “healing herbs”.

“Take no notice of the disease, think only of the outlook on life of the one in distress.

“Thirty-eight different states are simply described: and there should be no difficulty either for oneself, or for another, to find that state or a mixture of states which are present, and so to be able to give the required remedies to effect a cure.” – Dr. Bach

It occurred to me in the midst of my studies that there could be a possible correlation between the findings of Gary Craig and Edward Bach and their respective conclusions. I found I could ‘muscle test’ (reflexology) for the perfect flower, combine the tapping points of EFT with the body mapping points of that particular flower, add in a positive affirmation or two and retest myself after getting results. Invariably I found the outcome was the same as actually taking the flower remedy itself.
In the long run I am convinced this book will save you and the friends you test these concepts on a lot of money. But more importantly, you will see results much more quickly by tapping with the flowers than you are likely to by taking the drops. Test it out for yourself.

I hope the reading and use of this book is as rewarding for you as it has been for me in researching and writing.














The Need for a New Medicine by Julian Barnard

“What we need is a new medicine. Not a wonder drug, not a surgical implant nor a form of synthetic ego support. We need something that will help us wake up to see what is going on, so that we may see life for what it is. We need to regain our sense of discrimination so that we
may once again recognise what is harmful to life and what is of benefit to life. We need something that will help us to understand what we are so that we may simply live. We need something that Is not dependent upon the specialist and fragmenting forces of intellectualism,
something that works with life as we know it. Something is needed that will help us work with change for it is our inability to go with change that drives us away from life. We need something that will work with the life force within us to bring us to a healthy and happy living. Something that will work in harmony with nature and bring healing to the planet”.
