Pod #252: EFT For Starting 2017 With The Right Intentions

by

Last week I shared with you a simple process for letting go of the issues, worries, and wounds of 2016.

This week we are going to tap to start 2017 off on the right foot.

I love this particular tapping process because it is a chance for us to turn inward and give all parts of our system the chance to state what they need in the year ahead.

Just like last week, I recommend that you do this process once a day for a week. I am certain you will be amazed by how the process changes each time you do it.

I would like something better…I would like to be successful…I would like to transform..I would like to move forward…I recognize the fact that I get in my own way…that I don't do the actions that I want to do…that I don't stay focused…this is really disappointing…in many cases I know exactly what to do…in many cases I know exactly how I want to do it…and I still don't do it…it is because my system is trying to keep me safe…it is because my system is trying to keep me healthy…it is because my system doesn't want me to be in over my head…it avoids the actions that could get me in trouble…it avoids the steps that are difficult…I appreciate the fact that my system is trying to keep me healthy in this way…I also appreciate the fact my system is working too hard…it is seeing the things that are dangerous and blowing them out of proportion…I give myself permission to create the space to make it safe for me to make difficult choices…to make it safe for me to take new actions…there are times that I do not set goals because I don't want to face failure…my subconscious mind thinks but if I never set a goal then I will never have the opportunity to fail…I appreciate it is trying to keep me safe in this way and I recognize that it's over functioning…it is safe for me to have dreams…it is safe for me to have goals…It is safe for me to pursue something better…

There are times that I do not take action because I don't know how to do the action…or I don't know the exact step to take…my system doesn't want to waste time…my system doesn't want to waste energy…my system doesn't want to waste effort…the way that it does this is it prevents me trying…because if I never try anything new I can't look foolish and stupid…I appreciate that my system is doing this to keeping me safe…but I also recognize the fact every single thing that I can do is something I had to learn how to do…at one point I couldn't do it…everything that I can do I learned how to do…I give myself permission to allow myself to move forward in such a way that I do not need to be perfect the first time

I recognize there are times when I know what to do..I know how to do it..and I still don't take action…because I am afraid of taking that action is not going to be good..It's not that there's a problem with the action…but I am worried about trying…I'm worried others are going to see me and judge me…I'm worried that others are going to dismiss my effort…I'm worried that others are going to think that I'm foolish…I'm worried that others are going to think that I'm wasting my time…I give myself permission to know that these are the actions I should be taking…to know that these are the actions that are right for me…to know that as I move forward creating this path and becoming who I am is best for me.

They're also times that I do not take action because my system fears success…it is worried that if I work hard to be successful I will have to work hard to stay successful…it is worried that others will see me being successful at this and will be expected to be successful all the time…I'm worried that being successful is not going to be enough and I'm going to be let down…I give myself permission to know that even imperfect success is better than this…to know that as I move forward success will build on success…and more progress will come…I give myself and my system permission to know that when I don't take action…it is just my system taking care of me…I know my system it is simply over functioning…I trust myself to take action…I trust myself to be healthy…I trust myself to move forward anyway…even when things do not work out each action brings me closer to the success that I made for.

A One Time Offer Because It Is My Birthday

by

click display imagesGood morning,

Today is my birthday.

On my birthday I like to reflect on all of the blessings in my life. My life is amazing! I have a great family, wonderful friends, I live one of the most exciting cities in the world, and I get a chance to do work that I love.

As a mark of appreciation for how truly lucky I am, to celebrate my birthday the last few years I have used it as an opportunity give back.

This year I am doing something new. It is a way for me to do some good, for you to do some good, and a chance to get a whole year of one-on-one tapping support.

The Biggest Struggle
When someone new joins my mailing list I always ask them about their biggest struggle with tapping. The number one answer is: "I know it works, but I just don't do it!"

How nuts is that!?!

We have this incredible tool, that has the power to transform our lives, that we can use anywhere…and yet we don't use it.

(I use the word “we” because sometimes I don't use it as often as I should either.)

The Offer
I am giving six people the opportunity to tap one-on-one with me every week for the next calendar year.

That's right, every single week for the whole of 2017 you will have access to me to tap on the most pressing issue you are facing that week.

The tapping sessions will each last for 15 minutes. That might not seem like that much time, but you will be surprised at how much we can knock out in 15 minutes, especially when we are tapping together for 52 weeks.

It just like getting an emotional personal trainer for 2017!

And this is not a group program. It will just be you and me!

AND you will receive an audio recording of each session, giving you the chance to go back to tap again and again. So you will not only be getting personal support, you will also be building your own personal tap-along audio library.

The Deal Of The Century
For this opportunity I am only charging $997.

If you were to get me at my hourly rate it would cost just under $3000.

That is 64% off my normal session rate!

I am only offering this once and I am only offering it to 6 people.

The Give Back
All of the proceeds from this sale will go directly into my Kiva account.

Kiva is an international nonprofit organization that provides microloans to small business owners all over the world. Because it distributes the money in the form of loans, your purchase will be used again and again. Once the loan is paid back, I will relend the money to more small business owners to help them pursue their dreams and provide for their families.

The Fine Print
As I am offering my time at such an amazing discount, here is the fine print:

1) You are responsible for signing up for your sessions. I have an easy online process for this, but scheduling the sessions will be your responsibility. You will be given two opportunities to make up sessions that you missed. Beyond that, if you don't sign up for a session for a certain week, you will forfeit the session.

2) There are no refunds. All sales are final.

I'm Not Joking About Only Six People
Because I am giving 100% of the sales from this promotion away means that I am donating my time every week for the next year, so I have to limit this offer to just six people.

I have my online shopping cart set up to allow just six people to purchase this offer. Once six people have signed up, that is it. It is gone forever.

Questions?
Let me know if you have any questions about this by replying to this email. I will be paying special attention to my inbox today so that you get your questions answered right away.

Make 2017 great!

Have a great Monday,

Pod #251: EFT To Reflect On The Past

by

As the year draws to a close it is good for us to reflect on the last twelve months. This week I have for you a process that will lead you through a simple reflection of your year.

This is a great process because it is set up to allow you to heal and release wounds from the last year, but without having to dive into the details.

Think of this as a gentle way to do a little emotional housekeeping.

10-Part Weight Release Series with EFT

by

My friend Catherine Poole uses the term “weight release” instead of “weight loss”. I prefer “weight release” because I think it speaks to a more holistic approach to improving health than just diet and exercise.

It is about allowing our system to let go of the weight that we are holding on to for both physical and emotional reasons.

Here is a 10-part guide to using EFT and tapping for weight release.

Part 1: Making it safe and giving ourselves permission to heal

Part 2: How to respond when our weight release goals don't feel emotionally believable

Part 3: The connections between weight and emotion – an interview with Catherine Poole

Part 4: Dealing with mindless eating

Part 5: Pre-emptive tapping to avoid temptation

Part 6: Our relationship to food

Part 7: Our relationships to others when we are around food

Part 8: Why we don't tap even when we know it works

Part 9: The emotional reason for extra weight

Part 10: Tapping to improve metabolic function

Pod #250: EFT For A Good Night’s Sleep

by

On some level we know that getting a good night’s sleep is important. I know the quality of my sleep impacts how I handle each day. But did you know:

Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety.

The way you feel while you're awake depends in part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy brain function and maintain your physical health. In children and teens, sleep also helps support growth and development.

The damage from sleep deficiency can occur in an instant (such as a car crash), or it can harm you over time. For example, ongoing sleep deficiency can raise your risk for some chronic health problems. It also can affect how well you think, react, work, learn, and get along with others.

That is a direct quote from Heart, Blood, and Lung Institute at the National Institute of Health which is run by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Here is an updated version of the tapping I do before I go to bed to ensure a good night’s sleep. I have included both an audio and text version of the script (below).

You can access script in the text area of the TappingQ&A App, which you can download free of charge here: Apple App |Google/Andriod App

As I get ready for bed…I recognize the day has been stressful…I recognize the day has been full…My mind is still racing with all of these thoughts and all of these concerns…I give myself permission to set them aside so that I can now rest…Those worries that I carry with me are just a part of me trying to keep me safe…The worry is simply saying “Keep an eye on this”…”Don't forget that”…”Please be on guard”…I appreciate the fact my system is trying to keep me safe…I appreciate the fact my system is trying to keep me healthy…I'm aware of everything I'm worried about…I am aware of everything I'm stressed about…Because I am aware I do not have to worry…The worry has done its job…The stress has done its job…If I need to worry about these things tomorrow I give myself permission to do exactly that…I don't need that worried right now…I give myself permission and I get my entire system permission to relax and let go…To exhale deeply and to gently rest…Because gentle rest will bring me health…Gentle rest is good for my well-being…I give my system permission to gently let go of all tension and easily get off to sleep…As I sleep tonight I give my system permission to let go of everything that is no longer necessary…Letting go of thoughts, beliefs, and programing that are unnecessary…Today I learned lessons about stories that I have picked up that no longer serve me…Now is the perfect time to let those stories go…As I sleep tonight it is much like a computer that is getting an upgrade to its operating system…This sleep tonight is a chance for me to reset…To wake up with a clean slate…To see the world more clearly after I let go of the beliefs that are no longer useful…I give my system permission to rest deeply knowing that I am safe…I give my system permission to rest gently knowing that I can take this moment of comfort so that when I wake up tomorrow…I will wake up clear headed…I will wake up relaxed…I will wake up refreshed…Ready to take on a new day…But I don't need to think about that now…All I need to notice is that it is time for rest and gentle relaxation…I am made for both of those…I give myself permission to sleep…I give myself permission to rest
