Pod #125: EFT For Lessons And Experiences From Our Childhood That Impact Us Today w/ Jacqui Crooks

by

There is no question that we are impacted by our past. That seems so obvious that it doesn't even seem worth commenting on.

Nevertheless I think it is easy to underestimate how some past experiences impact us.

In my private sessions with clients it is amazing how often we find our way back to roots planted firmly in their childhood via current issues. We are more than impacted by our childhood experiences, we are deeply imprinted by them.

In this interview I talk with EFT Master Jacqui Crooks about how we are affected by these childhood moments and how we can tap to create freedom from memories and lessons that are no longer helpful.

Here is the tapping script Jaqui read at the end of the interview:

Even though there is a blueprint of the shining essence of me and I forgot that that is who I am, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself.

Even though I forgot, I now gratefully accept help from my guides, helpers, angels, source, my higher self and all parts of me, to help and support, while cleaning, clearing and repairing all damage to my chakras, aura or any of my bodies, so that I return wholly to that shining, glowing essence of who I am.

Even though I forgot, I'm choosing now, to align to that blueprint of my shining essence and I ask that this is fuelled so that it continues, in ways that I don't need to know, continually clearing the connection to source, so that I can continue to shine and glow and completely fill that me shaped space in the universe.

What Would You Do If You Lost Your Home In A Typhoon?

by


Good morning,

Last November super typhoon Haiyan devastated parts of the Philippines.

  • 12 million people were impacted directly
  • 4 million people were displaced from their homes
  • 1 million homes were damaged or destroyed

In addition to the hardship of the destruction, I can't even begin to imagine the emotional toll an experience like that would have on me. Some of the children who lived through it described being crippled with fear every time the wind blows.

My friend Sebastiaan van der Schrier decided that something needed to be done for those impacted by the storm. Especially the kids!

In December he went to the Philippines where he worked with local government leaders to introduce EFT in as many schools as he could reach and he tapped with hundreds of kids to bring relief to the trauma they had suffered.

After this experience he decided he wanted to do more!

His new goal?

  • Tap with 10,000 kids (yes, 10,000)
  • Train 100 local practitioners
  • Train 3 local trainers
  • Build 200 sustainable homes
  • Build 5 storm proof classrooms

To achieve this goal Sebastiaan is doing two things.

First, he has invited 10 practitioners to join him April 21st – May 12th in the Philippines to tap with kids and run trainings. These practitioners are closing down their practices for few weeks to help out.

Second, he is reaching out to the tapping community help raise the funds to pull off this amazing ambitious goal.

Last week I received a note from Sebastiaan asking if I would be willing to support him in this endeavor.

The answer was yes, of course.

On a closer reading of his note I realized he was inviting me to be one of the 10 practitioners to join him.

I was (and still am) amazed by the invitation.

I looked at my calendar, moved a few things around and I will be joining the team for 10 days.

I Need Your Help

I am reaching out to ask for your help.

In order to pull off everything that Sebastiaan wants to do we need to raise $150,000. I figured that since I was one of the 10 practitioners going that I should try to raise 10% of that.

My personal goal is to raise $15,000. If we do this it means I will be able to work with 1000 kids and we will be able to build one storm proof classroom.

If everyone who reads this email donated just $25 we would reach that goal many times over.

Think of it this way… $25 will mean that I will get to work with 5 kids tapping on a major trauma working to giving them back the joy of childhood.

You Help AND You Get Something

If you donate $25 or more I will send you an ebook containing 50 tapping scripts to help you stop self-sabotage in your own life, a copy of Steve Wells and David Lake's ebook “New Energy Therapies”, and a copy of the EFT Level Manual ebook by Tania A. Prince.

ALSO, if we reach our goal of $15k then I will run a 4-week series of tapping calls for everyone on my mailing list, not just the people who donated.

Your donation means that:

  • Kids receive trauma relief
  • Homes and schools are built
  • You get 50 awesome tapping scripts, “New Energy Therapies” ebook, and Level EFT Manual
  • Everyone can participate in free tapping teleclasses.

How could you say no to that?

If you are looking for more information on the project please take a few minutes to watch this video.

To ensure you get your bonus for donating use the following link. By doing that I will be able to send you an email with your tapping scripts via the donation system.

(I will still be able to send you the ebook if you donate anonymously. I won't even know who you are.)

Donate here!

Thanks for your consideration. If you have any questions about the trip, the work, or making a donation, please let me know.

Blessings,

Gene

PS: I know I ask you all the time to pass my stuff along to people you know who might benefit from the resources on the site. This time it would mean even more to me if you would pass along the link to this very worthy cause.

Pod #124: EFT For Performance Anxiety w/ Gina Parris

by

It happens all the time. You know how to do something. You might have done it a ton of times before. But the moment you step in front of someone else and have to do it you freeze.

You might be before a whole group of people, like giving a presentation, or just in front of one person, like in a job interview. You get tense. And sweaty. You can't remember what to say or do. You might even shake.

Things that usually come easily to us are suddenly really difficult when others are watching us.

In this interview with Gina Parris we talk about performance anxiety and how you can use what Gina calls “3 R” to move past it.

You Are Acting Too Responsible AND It Is Hurting You

by

I'm lucky.

My life is filled with caring people. People who go much more than the extra mile to take care others. They are thoughtful, they are insightful, and they often know the needs of their loved ones before their loved ones do.

When I see this type of love, care, and concern I am inspired.

And I am heartbroken.

Give Too Much
The problem that very insightful and caring people have is that because they so clearly see the suffering and needs of other that they often put other people's needs first.

Well, that is not true.

Often they put other people's needs first, second, third, fourth, and sometimes fifth.

When this happens they end up putting themselves last.

Not only does this make it harder to pursue their goals but there are times where they end up hurting themselves.

Creating Boundaries
Once we realize that we are giving too much we realize that we need to start creating boundaries.

There are two problems with this.

One, we feel like we are letting other people down. We feel like we are being selfish. We feel like we are no longer being caring. Or at the extreme we can feel like because we are not taking care of others we are actively hurting them.

Two, it is hard to recalibrate relationships after we have created a precedent of us always taking care of the needs of others first.

I was talking to my sister last week about this idea and her struggle to create boundaries with some of her co-workers. She said something that I think rings true.

I need to be a responsible adult. I am not responsible for my co-workers.

I really think that sums it up perfectly.

It puts us in the right frame of mind. We are not saying we don't care. We are not saying we are only thinking of ourselves. We are saying that we are going to be responsible adults.

Responsible adults help those in desperate need. Responsible adults are thoughtful about how their actions impact others.

But at the same time we are not taking responsibility for someone else's life or actions. They need to do that.

I need to be a responsible adult. I am not responsible for my co-workers.

For me that statement cuts a nice middle ground of not giving up and not taking on too much.

Tapping To Create Boundaries
If you are struggling to create boundaries in your life the first thing I would do is to take my sisters phrase “I need to be a responsible adult. I am not responsible for other.” and just tap on that over and over again.

Next, I would take these aspects one at a time and tap for them

  • I feel like I am letting other people down.
  • I feel like I am being selfish.
  • I feel like I am no longer being caring.
  • I feel like I am actively hurting others by caring for myself.

If you are looking for support in helping to clear this issue there are lots of tap-along audios around letting others down, being selfish, and how others will respond to you if you are following your goals in the Ruach Center.

There you will find over 160 tap-along audios (with more added each week) and there are a number of them are focused on creating boundaries and being able to put ourselves first. Full details: Ruach Center.
