Hi-eft

"Tapping makes the lines LOUDER and CLEARER"

Just before Christmas 2007 my lovely grandson was in his school Christmas concert and he had some lines to say.  And as he was staying with me one weekend he mentioned that someone in his class had said "I can't hear you 'cos you talk too quiet so no-one'll hear you".

Now, at 9years old a comment like that can be pretty gutting - especially when you've just been picked in your new school's concert.  So as he said this to me I asked him what the words were this lad had sais to him, and to be honest he IS such a quietly spoken lad I couldn't hear them very well - at 3 feet!!

So I decided to play this 'tapping game' with him.  I asked him to say the words that THAT lad had said to him again and then I tapped on him.  Well, he rolled over in laughter as I tapped on him - because he's so tickish!   So I changed tactic and asked him to say 'his' lines out LOUD whilst he tapped on himself and I tapped on myself too - so he didn't feel silly.

Then I asked him to go further away from me (about 5 feet away) and do it again, only he'd "have to shout as he was further away now".  So he moved further away, and tapping himself under his eye, his collar bone and under his arm, he raised his voice and the words were nice and clear. 

Then I asked him to move to the other side of the room (about 15 feet from me now) and shout louder whilst he still tapped himself.  His voice was still nice and loud and clear. 

So NOW I asked him to move into the hallway and still tap and shout the words, and he said he wanted to do a little action with his hands to the words, and sure enough at about halfway down our hallway (about 25 feet away from me now) he could still be heard nice and loud and clear.

And now I moved backwards (about 5 feet) into our conservatory whilst he moved even further away into the porch at the end of the hallway, he opened the hall door and stepped into the porch leaving the door open - so NOW we were at least 35 feet away from each other - and again he tapped whilst saying his lines AND using his little hands action too.  And he was STILL loud and clear.

Then he said he'd had enough and wanted to go call for his friend.  Which he did.

On the evening of the school concert the hall was packed to the gills with parents, grandparents, carers, brothers and sisters of the 'actors'.  And me, his grandad, his mum and dad were on the penultimate row of the hallway - at least 40feet away from the stage.

The time came and he came on the stage, and said his words LOUD and CLEAR AND used his hand gesture too.   He was briliant, we were so proud of him.

And ALL he was doing when we were at my house was 'simply tapping on te Anxiety Stopper points' whilst repeating aloud his spoken lines.  No need to go into his feelings or who said what or how he felt.  'EFT tapping' working again - without even focussing.  Brilliant.

Just goes to show that you don't ALWAYS have to follow the set procedure - just be creative ... see what happens

Saturday & Sunday 8th & 9th March in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England

If you're interested in coming then you HAVE to have covered the FULL EFT level 1 syllabus and know the Basic Set Up, the 9-step Gamut Point Procedure, ALL the tapping points including the hand points, how to use affirmations, the Prime Directive AND the the Discovery Statement.  Believe it or not but some trainers DO NOT include ALL of these topics when they are teaching EFT Level 1.  And you might even have only been on an EFT Introduction workshop (lasting only a couple of hours) and thought that THAT was EFT level 1 - when it wasn't really.  So I ALWAYS give details of what ought to have been covered.

And I ALSO can travel to wherever YOU are to give you training as I will travel and deliver training in small groups to literally anywhere.

Get your creativity flowing - again!

OK - you KNOW you're creative yet there's simply zilch going on in the 'creativity dept' of your brain at the moment.  So what do we normally do when our creativity stops - and we realise it has stopped - we panic!!

Don't panic!!

Focus on just HOW you are feeling, say how you're feeling aloud and THEN just TAP whilst you're saying it.  That's right - just tap on each of these accupuncture / meridian points whilst you're SAYING ALOUD just how you feel:

outer edge of your eyebrow

inner edge (just above your nose) of your eyebrow

under your eye on the boney part of your eye-socket

centrally under your nose

centrally in the crease of your chin

just across the top of your chest area (just below your throat area and below your collar bone area - as though you've just eaten some too hot food and are patting your chest to cool it down) 

under your arm on the side of your body (about a hands-width down from your armpit) OR in men and children level with the nipple

on the bottom of your thumb nail - the side nearest your body

on the bottom of your index finger's nail - the side nearest your body

on the bottom of your middle finger's nail - the side nearest your body

on the bottom of your little (pinky) finger's nail - the side nearest your body

on the side of your hand where it bends - when you do a karate chop

Just tap each of these places at least 7times, and when you get to your Karate Chop (side of your hand) see how you feel now.

And if you've just been saying and tapping and are feleing better - then you've been EFT-ing.  For more information on this EFT-ing, why not visit my website:  www.emofree.biz   

But the BEST thing is: how's your creativity NOW?

Happy tapping

'Positive Affirmations' laminated card book

Hi There

I have just - very recently - completed my 'Positive Affirmations' laminated card book, the latest in my C2T2series laminated card books.   It contains over 1,000 positive affirmations for over 350 conditions.  It took me 250+ hours of work collating, formatting and printing it from over information I have collected over the last 14+ years.

It is approximately 6" x 4" (15 x 10cm), has 79pages of affirmations, 8 pages of information INCLUDING 4 different types of affirmations, all held together with a metal circular book-ring - to give more space to turn the pages over.   I have even included a specific 'set phrase' or 'repeat phrase' that people with each condition/problem may use - to make it even more different.  AND the pages are laminated so they last long-e-r. 

The information has been researched, by me over the years, from the works of such great names as Hay, Lincoln, Chopra, Virtue, Dyer and many others with almost 98% of these 'Positive Affirmations' being unique, having been intuited by me.

If you are interested in buying a set, they are available at my ebay shop:   http://stores.ebay.co.uk/emotionaltherapiestrainingtools

This laminated card books (in the C2T2 series) is very very useful to ALL therapists and practitioners who use 'affirmations' in their work.  This 'Positive Affirmations' book is certainly unique.  And Buyers have said such things as "a wonderful tool"; "brilliant idea"; "a great help in my work"; "so compact yet so full of useful information".

Go on, just have a look at my shop, you won't be disappointed

All the best

Where has the time gone?

Hi Everyone

Well - just WHERE HAS the time gone.  It only seemed a minute ago that it was New Year and NOW it's February!

Well - as they say, if time goes quickly, then you're being busy.  And I suppose really I can say I have been 'pretty busy' what with getting my latest laminated card book 'Positive Affirmations' completed and printed - a mammoth task as it took me 250+hours in all, not all since the New Year I may add :-)))

Then there's my training schedule for 2008 which I completed in mid-January; and of course the weekly 'Caring-4-Carers' course that I hold which started in mid-January; plus seeing my grandson play football each Saturday morning; and then completing my tax return at the end of January - which was a brand new task for me as my accountant somehow forgot to contact me and as soon as I received the reminder form the Inland Revenue I decided to do it myself - something new I had never done before, and it was relatively straight faorward - so I shall be doing all my own in future; and then planning for my presidential year in our local Soroptimist International club; and marking M&ET practitioner exam papers; as well as keeping my business going.

So I suppose in all, I have been rather busy.  And NOW I know where the time has gone I can pat myself on the back and congratulate myself - for I feel I deserve it.

So - how's your time been spent?  Productively and positively I hope.

All the best
