Increasing the Effectiveness of Your EFT Sessions – 6 Reasons to Keep a Tapping Journal

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) can be an extremely powerful tool for creating positive changes in your life. While even a very basic and sporadic “tapping practice” can be beneficial, there are many ways to make your use of EFT more effective. One simple strategy is to keep a written record of your tapping experiences. Certainly, not every single “tap session” needs to be noted. Little things like tapping when you’ve burned your finger on the stove, or can’t find the car keys, probably don’t need to be written down (unless either of these is a routine occurrence – then it might be related to a core issue, and worth looking at in closer detail!) I do think it’s enormously valuable to keep detailed notes about tapping sessions on the “big issues” you’re working on – the chronic ones like an ongoing health challenge. Read more…

An Attitude of Gratitude – EFT For Recognizing the Gifts in Your Life

There are times when all of us get into the “poor me” mindset. My house isn’t big enough, my kids aren’t good enough, my partner isn’t attentive enough, my job isn’t fulfilling enough. Somehow, it’s easy to see that glass as half empty. At the time that we’re doing that complaining, we are overlooking some seriously important and wonderful parts of our lives.

Maybe your house isn’t as large as you’d like, but the fact that you HAVE a house is something to be grateful for, especially in this rough economy. Maybe your children don’t always behave as well as you’d like them to, but there are lots of people who would give anything just to be able to have a child, so how fortunate are you? Your partner isn’t attentive enough? Did it ever occur to you to be thankful that you have a partner who cares about you, and that you aren’t having to deal with life’s ups and down all alone? So your job isn’t quite what you’d like it to be. In a time of massive layoffs and people going hungry or losing their homes because they no longer have a paycheck, you DO! Be grateful for that.

EFT and the Amazing Disappearing Hives

As an EFT practitioner, I have many examples of how our mind can cause actual physical changes in our body. I have never seen a case more compelling, however, then an experience that I had myself.

I was scheduled to do a session with someone that I was a bit intimidated by. By the day before the session, I was full of anxiety about the session, although I really wasn’t at all sure what the reason was for all that anxiety.

I woke on the morning of the scheduled session and noticed some itching in the palms of my hands. The itching was only mildly annoying at first, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. As time went by, the itching became more annoying and more severe, until I finally turned up the lights to take a good look at my hands. I was horrified to see that both my hands were covered with big, red, incredibly itchy hives. There were so many hives that you could barely see any normal skin.

My first thought was that I had inadvertently touched something to which I was allergic. I started tapping immediately. Read more…

Keep it in Perspective

Perception: The recognition and interpretation of sensory stimuli based chiefly on memory. “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.” – Anais Nin. However, when faced with a barrage of challenges, there’s a natural and powerful force that can suck you into themes and memories of the masses (fear, pessimism, misery) instead of your own. Be aware and think it through. Also, it might be time to create some new memories.

When you expand your thoughts and experiences, your perceptions will follow. A delightful illustration: Mark Twain, when 14, wrote that he thought his father was so ignorant that he could hardly stand to have him around. He added “When I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in 7 years.” Pause to process . . . now, fast forward 7 years. Does today look different?

It’s also effective to gain perspective by stepping outside and looking in. Here is an exercise designed to open the eyes of those sporting rose colored glasses as well as those donning double eye patches. All the world’s a stage! Pretend for a paragraph that you are watching a play of your life. Is it a comedy, drama, tragedy? How long has this play been running? Is it successful? How many acts and scenes are there? Are the original actors still performing? Are they any good? What is the setting? What is your role? Read more…

Here is a Technique You Can Use to Free You Up From Feelings of Hopelessness

There seems to be no control over the feelings we experience. This is because there is an almost universal mis-perception that what we are experiencing is the result of something outside of us. We assume it to be the situations and circumstances of our life, the reality that is seen and thought about. Because of this never examined assumption, life is lived in error and our way of looking at life, leaves us no real control. There is only an ability to manipulate the hand we are dealt.

Everything changes when you are able to perceive accurately this physical law of the universe: energy precedes all things, even your thoughts. Making this distinction can open up possibilities you couldn’t otherwise imagine. And when you do, you will be able to deliberately choose to seek out better feeling thoughts. We are sensorial beings, we sense everything and it is our experience of life that matters to us. The range of emotions is vast and at the lower end of the spectrum one might experience helplessness, powerlessness and hopelessness and at the highest end would be the experiences of happiness, joy, bliss and ecstasy. In between there are many degrees. The words are what we have given labels to in order that we can talk about them to ourselves and others. Read more…

The Hepa Filter – The Cornerstone of the Air Purifier

Studies have confirmed that the air we breathe in our homes is many times more polluted then the outside air. That is quite alarming, given that outside air is contaminated heavily with vehicle and industrial pollutants, molds, spores and other contaminates.

Cleaning the air in our home with high quality air purifiers and cleaners is not only wise, but results in fewer family breathing problems and illnesses. With the right systems, viruses and bacteria which are often the source of respiratory illnesses, will be removed. Make sure the air purifier you select has the High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, capable of capturing dust, smoke, pollen, dust mites, debris, mold spores, and pet dander. All, potentially cause allergies. The HEPA filter helps minimize allergies and the resulting uncomfortable symptoms associated with their onset. Read more…

Psychosoma – A Computer-Assisted Secular Method of Psychosomatic Healing

A computer game that may assist in the eradication of diseases and the obliteration of some!

Given that I have thrown this idea out into the world in the hope that it will reach critical mass, it will probably now have to come from some public sector boffins rather than some business engine. At the very least this little essay is a goofy neuro finger print into the mindset of misplaced potential, at best…it’s a viable idea! That is not to say that there cannot be many variations, mutations and developments from this idea – I hope there are. Besides, I no longer care as I’m flying off with aliens – N’yeh!

Psychosoma is an adventure that takes places inside the human body. Not just any human body but the body of the player. Its primary purpose is to assist the player in the healing and repair of any mechanical damage or disease. This is done by creating a reproduction of a part of a brain or body from an actual cat/bio scan which maps the area local to the disease or damage and provides a complete cross-section 3d photograph. That image is then uploaded onto a computer or onto a platform like The Sony PS3 and when integrated with the software, once again becomes a fully fluid representation of the body at the moment of scanning, complete with injury and/or disease.

There are many cases where psychosomatic input can have a significant, if not, profound effects in assisting the eradication of something like a tumor or the time and effectiveness of injury repair through conventional means. There are a sufficient number of cases where there is a total recovery. In such cases, however, it is helpful if the person is able to make massive lifestyle changes, diet, environment or more rarely, a massive a paradigm shift. Read more…

Think on This and Feel the Emotional Relief You Desire

Human beings are more than simply one dimensional; in fact we are multi dimensional emotional identities. You will find yourself feeling down at the lower end of the scale and at times and hopefully you will reach the other end of the scale more often to experience the emotions of joy and bliss and even ecstasy. What is far more interesting is another aspect of who we are and it speaks to the source of our life. On one side is our identity self and the other our divine self. No matter the situation you have assess to relief when conflict between the two is present.

It’s easy to recognize our identity self as it is the one we are quite familiar with. We each invented who we are. We will continue to shape and reshape our identity until we take the energy elsewhere. Whether you are 10 years old or 90 years old you have the identity you have come to know yourself to be. It is that life giving force within you that allows you to invent it as you have. It has always been a creative expression, a work of ongoing art, I’d say. Read more…

Simple Steps to Overcome Stress and Avoid Harmful Effects

Stress is a part of daily life for many people today. Some amount of stress is generally protective and adaptive. It helps our mind and body to face the challenges in difficult situations and to cope up with the pressure in the time of crisis. Life may become dull and unexciting in the absence of the stress.

The reasons that cause stress can be anyone or many of these- financial problems, disagreements, demands on time and attention, work life balance, loss of a loved one, conflicts, illness, accidents, alcohol or drug abuse, and poor nutrition etc.

Extended periods of stress can seriously affect a person both physically and mentally ranging from severe depression and heart attack to headache. Continuous stress affects our daily activities, diminishes self-esteem, impairs relationships with family and friends, decreases work productivity, and leads to self-blame. Read more…
